I got to listen to this one, it makes a very different noise
will be back in game in a couple of hours to take it to Merope and see what it does there
I would recommend dropping it near Merope 2A that Cap Ship being there makes me wonder if there is something other than that Barnacle there, unless that is the point it draws attention to the barncle on Merope 2A while another stealth team goes after what they are actually interested in.
Huh. Complete tangent, but I think I just had a massive duh moment.
Walker Survey, that constant thorn in my side. I think I know why it never suffered due to UA sales. It's immersion breaking somewhat, but it actually makes sense now. A few people had this line of thought, but sure enough, I think it's because there's no commodities market, and the reason is simple.
If you break a station with UAs but there's no commodity market, there's no way to repair it either (as you need to sell MA's on the commodity market).... that's why Walker Survey never failed. Bit disappointing but there you go.

No problem with the suggestion, but it's very high risk. Considering how few and far between they are at the moment, there's probably some safer tests to do first.

Folk mentioning "Ziggy" immeadiately makes me think of Mars - isn't Halsey in a looney bin on Mars ?
Edit -
Just found this reference - " At a recent event at the Mars Business Society, Federal Shadow President Felicia Winters responded to a question concerning the hospitalisation of former Federal president Jasmina Halsey:" over at http://inara.cz/galaxy-galnet/5
And i'm sure I've read ref to Winters being linked to INRA in the past as well.
These new probes the result of human manipulation of UA's and or Barnacles ?
ie they look like two joined together - because someone did just that ? - an attempt to reverse engineer alien tech or somesuch.

Threat level 4 convoy USSs
Gratz and rep for finding and gaining the UP!
Well, perhaps its just me, but I see the same 'maybe, maybe not morse' as on the UA. It appears to me that the signal is a little bit slower on the UP.
Here is where I notice it... (video, from 1:26 ++)

Further to my musings above these new probes are human modification of UA's - might be tied to the "station" or whatever they are wrecks of large sections of something being found of late. Also linked perhaps to damaged cap ships - drive modifications ?
Just some random musings - might trigger something more coherant from someone else.

Such excite!
Unknown Probe
Ok, this was very exciting to say the least!
Here's the video of the unknown probe. We decided to drop out some random place in space to minimize other sounds. There are some sounds of Patau's thrusters a couple of times in there. Else you can hear the sounds pretty clear. It's making a high wailing sound after a while.
Btw. the video is processing, the final quality will be 1440p@60 fps. Dang, forgot to turn off ingame music though - just came to think of it.

In theory if you take it planet side it won't degrade, and you should be able to get great close-ups with the debug camera from an SRV.
Scary sounds Especially at 2:53
Unknown probe retrieval
Here's the hectic video of the probe retrieval
What was quite fun is that Patau and I, sort of, met coincidental and decided to group up. Perhaps within 5 mintues of being in a wing I got the first convoy threat 4 USS. Which was a dud. Then I quickly got another one. Patau had his pirate on his tail and I dropped into the USS - he came in shortly after with the pirate.
And it was the right one. We got the shields of the Pyhton down pretty quick and started throwing hatchbreakers at it. After a while the probe dropped. Patau wasn't hostile to them, so he retrieved it. Since I still could see the probe in space, I thought he missed it, until he said he had it. Must be a bug, since cargoscan showed only one probe.
Still processing, but the final quality will be 1440p@60 fps.

AWESOME!!
The rate at which this thread is moving....is too damn high!
Hypothesis 3 is the one I was thinking about when I wrote the UP could be a UAv2.

Congrats, GJ!
That's pretty amazing
And I rekon the ingame music adds to the drama Heading off to bed now (unless Patau happens to be on right now...) I've spent some time listening to the UP. Something I've noticed but can't discern anything out of... there's odd white-noise at the following points in the videoclip, that was never in the original UA audio. I boosted the amplitude a lot to listen to it...:
0:41-0:47
0:51-0:57
1:10-1:13
2:45-2:50
There also seems to be an audio glitch around the 2:55 mark?
