I keep adding entries on the new systems!! what do you mean with not updated! lol
This is a fairly good theory, that got lost because of latest MB comments.
I suggest to give a little credit to it.
Anyway, latest MB comments are already on the frontpage as usual.
Fly safe CMDRs.
thanks. Hopefully some folks can start testing it as I won't be able to play for a couple of days. Figures!
Yes, but redWizzard's 3d visualizer is not linked to the spreadsheet, it was done manually
there is also entim's one: http://entim.no-ip.org/ed/uarepository/shell
Which is very cool as well.
Just a thought, but I don't see this on the front page or on the experiment spreadsheet, even though it seems an obvious thing to try...
Has a UP been honked close to Earth (perhaps just outside the SC exclusion zone)?

Just a curious fact... got sparkling interference in the SRV scanner and strange music today on the surface of a planet in Snake Sector.

Which is why I'm saying - its worth try. Go toward the pipe/bowl at least 200ly away from SOL and drop one and see if it still points back to Merope.

Here we go again...
I would however remove your speculation about what we will find in the sectors mentioned. First off to keep an open mind, do tests, note results. Test again and doublecheck results. Going in looking for something makes any discovery biased towards that thing.
Secondly, it makes no sense for anything to tell us "here are more UAs/UPs". Why would that be interesting to anyone? Like I said earlier, "Hey you found me. Want to find more of me? Go here!". That's just silly as it doesn't lead to anything, only more UPs. It's a circular move, unless the Free Floating UPs show a different image or hold different information from the "captured" ones. I highly doubt that they do.
And it has been tested. The UP wails at ALL planetary bodies. Terraformables, ELWs, Barnacle sites, Gas giants, ice moons, ALL. If there is a planetary body it doesn't wail at, we haven't found it yet. Ask Bungalo (iirc) for his test results.
One of the first things RiZ@L did was take it out to the Col 70 sector. That's actually where the UP replied the first time iirc. It still points to Merope, and the image is the same as all the subsequent ones. If it behaves differently somewhere we haven't found that location yet, but distance does not seem to matter at all. Exact location may.
That is some good reverse engineering. I like your numbers, even though they are selected a bit arbitrarily (unconfirmed inner radius of UA shell). The fit very nicely, and the 127 may not have anything to do with the UA shell, but we'll figure that out later.

UAs have been taken to Sag A and H&S nebula. They still point to Merope.
Pretty sure this referrs to UP not UA. Wasn't MB inferring this was easily testable a while back?
There has to be a reason for those cargo racks after all, right?

He wasn't referring to where the UP points to.

True and thanks for the correct
but it pointing to 5c and giving of diff coded sound is still testable in the same fashion. Get some racks, traval all over doing science yada yada. It's not like the UA need taking anywhere so why have special racks at all? There is not a huge player damand for them for normal commods. When you consider the size of the galaxy we have to roam in our experiments have been in a very, very small areaStill all moot till I find a UP really lol

You mean you didn't watch the Educating Ed...
No, only managed to catch the last ten minutes. It's hard enough trying to keep up with 2 threadnaughts, manage my dull VR 21st century life and play the game.
a week ago i asked exactly this : ''there is a reason why someone found the UP in the ross47 system ?''
finally i have the answer i was looking for, thanks Ecthelion

in EDucating Ed they honked at earth's orbit.
not only that... they did a gang honk, they honked simultaneally (if i remember well).
NOTHING HAPPENED.
..and, after that, ED killed an UP for science. (sick part that one, i was trying to forget it).
