I got really lucky with the signal source, a npc pirate was after me at the time and opened fire on me as soon as I dropped out of SC
The convoy turned on him and I noticed the python being attacked by 2 apc's. The Pirate drew the other ships away breaking up the convoy into two groups and I was able to hatch break the python and scoop the UP in relative peace
thank you NPC pirate! :D

anyway... something is not convincing me well..

it is supposed to be always so difficult to have one of those UknownProbes ?

sounds pretty lame to me.

There must be another way...

May be their another sphere of them somewhere in the galaxy.

We found the UA sphere completely by accident through, if my memory serve me right.

I cant believe for a one second that the way these were designed to be only found like they have been. I think the UA somehow combined with meta alloy (or something..) will grow a barnacle. The Probe is a spent version of the Artifact, or comes from an artifact in some way. I might be wrong, but there are a million theories similar that could be right. It just hasn't been discovered so they throw hints at us to show us what we are missing. I just dont think people should focus all the attention on flying around looking for probes, we should still be dedicating time and research into Artifacts

Initially it was the same with UAs, until the first free floating ones were found. I suspect that a similar process will occur this time. But in the meantime, there is much to learn. What does this probe represent, is it a new stage in the development of UAs, will there be other stages in the UA-UP lifecycle, is it related but not the same? Do we have enough Hobnobs to maintain the sciencing rate?

These and other questions are waiting for answers.

Straddling the fourth wall here, sorry.

It is *Precisely* how the UAs were first found, and it was like this for at least a couple of months. It's nothing new - and it can be quite fun hunting a convoy and then getting 'the team' together to hijack and scoop. It's designed for teamwork - and plaudits to FD for doing that deliberately(from me personally) because without that, I wouldn't be here.

The question we're meant to ask is: where are they getting them from and, if *they* already know about them, why have we not heard anything on Galnet? How much does somebody already know that we don't?

Tinfoil time - but also, an article on Galnet from Dr A too.

Finally: the 'secret' of the UA (morse code) took weeks to decode . This thing must *do* something new. The most obvious potential links are other UAs and Barnacles, but given MB and his team's ability for problems that are best described as orthogonal to what we expect, it could be something completely new, completely bizarre, but completely obvious with hindsight.

I wonder if and where Unknown Probes can be found in space.

Does anyone remember the systems Unknown Artifact convoys where found in? And how they, if they, relate in someway to Merope.

That might give us a good indication as to where Unknown Probes can be found free floating.

Great job in collecting one! A shame it has been lost but looking at the images of it gives me a couple of ideas:
1) The Unknown Probe and Unknown Artefact are not only the same tech - they appear modular in design, with a common 'head' piece but with a different 'body'.
2) The 'body' of the UP looks symmetrical in a way that suggests the possibility to connect multiple other modules to it. These could be a UA/UP 'head' as well as the UA 'body'. This could make the UP 'body' a generic connector without much function of its own, except perhaps to provide power.
3) Functionality of the device might be determined by the attached modules. The UA/UP 'head' might be a transmitter, the UA 'body' a scanner, for example. If so, the UP would be expected to point to a location it is transmitting to.
4) Future 'Unknown' objects, or even ships, might consist of multiple different 'head' pieces connected together by one or more UP 'body' sections. This kind of modular design would be great for procedurally generating ships, structures and objects of many kinds.
5) Both the UA and UP are meant to be transported. They fit neatly into the 1t cargo canister volume: it might be a necessity for us to collect them, but perhaps it suggests a transport vessel is putting them into place?​

The Unknown Probe says "Singing"

Singing...? What does that mean?

I don't think it's the UP that is saying that. The voice comes from some ship computer. There are hundreds of other sounds on that video, not coming from the UP at all, plus several ships around doing noises as well. I'll wait for a more detailed sound recording, done alone, with no one else around.

I didn't heard it at first 2 times.
Then I found place when I thought I heard something.
And listened to it 20 times, it's somewhere in middle, just spam lmb at second just before it.
It says singing or seeding, It really does...
But...
This is recording with microphone on ( because guy who recorded it ducked up a lot... ) and discord like bugging out with deafening yourself ( when people re-join channel they have high probability of not being muted and a lot other bugs ).
So: We have to wait for other recordings to prove it. But yes, it sounds like singing or seeding and it's creepy!

Agreed more recordings are necessary, but in my opinion the sound is coming from the UP. I can hear each separate noise in the clip and I can hear something saying a word in a robotic sort of voice, one that I cant recall hearing in my play time so far. Honestly we just wont know until we get more data but I don't think anything should be disregarded just yet.
