He can't answer that. We have to figure it out ourself.
remember : It's logical, but probably only obvious after the fact.

I think now also. in time for gamescom is the dissolved in whimsical fashion riddles. (Irony end)

Why would something lead us to itself? That logic is circular and gets us nowhere.
The convoys dont seem to be what we were supposed to find first. By that logic, everything we know about the UA and barnacles should lead us to where the probes are. Or something we missed with those.

Hugo Ross and I have nabbed a handful of UAs from the SOI of a planet in the UA shell. I was testing my theory that UPs spawn near planets in the UA shell and he was farming UA fragments.
It was in hip 14479 (going from memory here) but I don't recall which planet. We did it about a month or so ago.

Oh high and mighty MB, can you please just give us the answer to the puzzle so we can go back to "playing the game"? That wud be awzum!!
Will you guys quit it?! He is following this thread and will chime in when he thinks it's appropriate, not when everybody is nagging on him to give clues.
His pattern is pretty clear although not consistent; if you theorize on something, he might come in and let you know that it's "good thinking". Or he might not. So keep evolving the theories that are out there (he did say that some are close, but assumptions were off), and please do tests! For the love of god, DO TESTS! Your theory ain't worth cr@p if it ain't testable. And if it's testable, DO IT YOURSELF!

Giving up then. I'm wasting countless hours looking for something I don't even know is there.
I can't get a UP tried and failed. So I give up on this coz I get little chance to play anyway why would I carry on chasing wild gooses.
love the game but had enough of Cryptic Sh!?!?.
Il do the only thing this game allows me to do and bounty hunt.

I understood it as "Canonn related", ie. puzzles and mysteries, not necessarily UP/5C-related. It was very vague though.

This ^^^^
I'm not so sure about finding the Convoys first was the wrong order, as I don't think that matters. But, Sandro(?) iirc did say that getting them from the Convoys was "the hard way". Not that it was in the wrong order, or the wrong thing to do, but that it was the hard option. From that I understand it as, the UP itself gives the same information in both instances, it's just harder to take on a military convoy to get that information. The location of the Free Floaters may give us some information though, as eluded to by MB's "different" comment.
This is a really awesome picture - I found my new wallpaper
I also noticed that the cell-like body of the UP is the same as the cell-like head of the UP (like, exactly the same down to the T). Someone else "connected the dots" and it looks vaguely like a galaxy map.
I then checked the UA and guess what - it's the same exact "cell" shape as the UP (apart from one being bluish green and the other pinkish-red). The "cells" match up exactly. I wonder if it is a galaxy map and the red lines are some type of hyperspace lanes? I mean, there were things hidden in the sound, why not the textures?
Edit: This person "connected the dots" - it really does look like a galaxy map. And as someone else pointed out (gotta start remembering names), why would you use a land based map when trying to find someone in a galaxy? You'd be much better off with stars.

Well, Gamescon media day is next Wednesday so we should hear something Soon(TM)!
I'm also with the thinking the UP will be more directional. Since the UA spawn swelled into shape over time, the UP may not be at a good landmark yet. That's why I'm flying from merope out towards witch head. I expect the UPs to appear in the space between somewhere. And I'm going to pay closer attention to systems within the distance you guys are posting.
I'd like some help though, a couple others taking the same path I am and maybe a few others going towards California. We can find out pretty quick if this theory is correct or at least some big sectors to rule out for free floaters.
I'm using my phone right now and it's making me sound poor English. Apologies.

I asked the same question a week or two ago about ammonia worlds. I didn't see any response and haven't seen anyone mention anything about it so I believe it still needs to be tested.
i suspect if they are found they probably won't be between merope and the two nebulae for two reasons:
1) a lot of people go to the nebulae and probably would have stumbled upon them already
2) the diagram I think uses the nebulae as a reference point for orienting the diagram, therefore it is pointing us somewhere else for the UP (or another undetermined thing)
Now what we need to figure out is if the sonic image is a:
