Do we know if the directional behavior is consistent with early UAs recovered from convoys?

It's not. They had no specific direction. Not until 1.4, when old UAs started pointing to Merope (Star).

Edit: Time for a trip to 5c now.

Brilliant work out there. Looking forward to the vids.

Here's the hectic video of the probe retrieval :D

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.


Your video is AMAZING, Ecthelion but most of all, you sacrified yourself and your ship FOR SCIENCE!

This is all so awesome! Even though the probe was lost, we have Merope 5c, 10 minutes of clean audio and the UA & UP together! A nice days work!

That's sterling stuff. Well done!
Any link to the audio yet?
 
That's pretty amazing :D 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?


I spent some time with the audio of that video, that "white noise" sounds interesting, i've spoted it on several occasions and it looks like the same kind of stylized morse as the UA's. It could be wishful thinking of course but the structure feels the same as with UA's morse.

What i spotted / (mis)translated :

0:11 -> -.-- . ..- (YEU)
0:47 -> - (T)
0:51 -> ...- . (VE)
1:31 -> ..- (U)
2:28 -> -. - .. (NTI)
2:51 -> -.. . ... - ..-. (DESTF)
3:00 -> . (E)
3:12 -> -. (N)
3:18 -> . (E)

there's another one at 4:02 but its broken up by ship sounds

I dont know anything about morse or sound engineering so i urge peeps who do to look into that. Also, that 10min of clear audio would be great to work on!

Great vid! The in game music really worked well with it :D

So the UP has honks too. And they also are in three note sequences, but much further apart and without a morse section. Maybe the notes of those honks might somehow interlock or have some relationship with the notes of the UA honk..

And 5c eh...

:D
 
Are you sure it points to the planet and not another system, beyond Merope 5c? Like towards the Witch Head Nebula or California Nebula? (sorry for being stubborn and for the obvious stupid question, I can't help it.)

I was just thinking this, since the UA uses morse code, I was thinking about what would happen if you added the UP noise into the UA noise and 'interlocked them' like you said. Kinda tempted to take the audio and layer it in audacity and see what happens.

According to one of their posts they tested it in multiple sites in the system so I doubt it is pointing beyond 5C, I am slightly suprised as well as I thought it would point towards 2A with the battlecruiser being there suggesting there is something important on 2A.

It is possible thought that if someone took an unknown probe to one of those nebula they would point to a different location if there are multiple instances of what the probes are looking for and they point towards the nearest one

Thanks for your reply. That's also what I think, the UP may point elsewhere if in the right nebula/system as it has another "pointy" end.

Some testing at Merope

As you all know we brought the UP to Merope and quickly saw that the UP didn't point to the Merope star. This video shows us narrowing the search down and we also tried to put a UA and a UP together, free floating, in space. Big thanks CMDRs Monkey D Luffy, Bungalo and Hugo Ross!

Youtube is still processing, but the final quality will be 1440p@60 fps.

I also have a video of about 10 minutes with the UP on the surface. Currently uploading.
