New galnet post about Thargoids
https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/12-AUG-3302
Something that really annoys me in that conspiracy theory is the whole Mycoid Virus thing.
First the name: Mycoid Virus.. is it a fungus or a virus already?
Second thing that annoys me is a virus that attacks something that doesn't have a celular structure.
Might as well have called it the Mycoid Agent and make it a fungus that attaches to polymers and degrades them.
Sigh....

Well, right now the Feds are trouncing the Empire by about twice as much, 80m versus 180m.
Unless you want to see a Federal monopoly on Meta-alloys, I suggest you guys get down there and fight for the Empire now.
Well done CMDR!
That is being my line of investigation since long before CMDR Dreadp1r4te suggested his personal and awesome interpretation of it.
I intend to continue on it after coming back from the Dolomites, assuming no one solves the mystery in the meantime...
What makes me so confident is that, REMEMBER, the UP audio was explicitly called TRANSMISSION, in the official FD patch notes, and that is important that we get the full ~6 min length.
So the UP purrs/tubas are its transmission. We need to decode it somehow, using a key. Wait! A key! Yes, the drawing.
IMHO it is still one of the easiest and most elegant solutions among the millions out there.

Quoting myself to add this:
It is already well known that the purrs/tubas in an UA are very different between a scooped and a free floater.
So why it is so important to find free floateing UP?
Because I suspect that the UP, that has already been captive, could be scrambling its transmission for security reasons.
A free floater, on the contrary, could be PURE. Transmitting the original message, not jammed yet. I'm talking about the purrs, not the drawing here.

Veliaze [-1,3]
Allegiance: Alliance, joined 3262
Type: Industrial
Government: Alliance Democracy
Population: 970,000
Policing: Minimal — starports only
Physical: Type K orange star
Veliaze is a fairly small main sequence typeK orange star, fusing hydrogen to helium inits core. Its spectral type is compatible withterrestrial-like life forms, and the planet NewAfrica was easily terraformed during the latterpart of the 29th Century. The orbital distance of New Africa gives it atemperate climate, averaging 22 Celcius.The Veliaze system has a turbulent history which has only settled in recenttimes. The system was originally colonized by a small number of people fromthree different mining corporations from the 2500’s onwards. The corporationsdecided during the 2800’s to terraform Veliaze 1 (which later became known as150 New Africa) so that larger numbers of miners could be accommodated muchmore easily.

I suggested something like this 3 weeks ago...*sigh*

Also quoting myself...although you already may be sick of the blackhole idea....you guys mentioned the galnet article about thargoids...look which picture they chose for the article ingame:
*cough*
You know that the Mycoid virus (poorly named or not) is practically canon right? (originally from Frontier: First Encounters)
http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Elite_Timeline
3193, 3252 & 3253
Anyway, the main thing I wanted to say was ..
"Some of the less outlandish theories include the suggestion that electronic countermeasure technology was reverse-engineered from captured Thargoid vessels."
Has anyone tried blasting a UP with an ECM pulse?
Edit: apologies, already suggested by tikas and no doubt others ... do try and keep up Alec!

Sorry, but I just learned that a UP Convoy was found today in Sisini! Picture proof has been provided, but unfortunately it was only posted on Discord. I will get the initial finder to write something here, or do it myself when I get a more detailed report.
Just thought you all should know.
Just thought you all should know.
I can't really keep up with this thread but someone needs to blast a UA/UP/Barnacle with an ECM ASAP. Also try an ECM blast while the UP sends its message.
I think the article is deliberately missleading, to show that the journalist doesen't have a clue.
Most likely the Mycoid is a hybrid between a fungus and a endovirus. The endovirus functioning as a safety valve.
You can read about it in this short story: http://www.dream-ware.co.uk/first-e...life-on-the-frontier/inevitable-consequences/
UP in Convoy Sighted in Sisini
Just headed to Merope, scooping a star. Decided to drop into a threat level 4 convoy.
Military transport Python with a UP in it.
They waked out, wasn't equipped to take them on, so the probe was not acquired.

The Canonn Super UP Sphere Image Interactive Rotator Thingy
The Canonn Super UP Sphere Image Interactive Rotator Thingy!
Hi everyone, I've been wondering whether the UP image was not meant to be static, but actually an instruction to make a rotating, er, 'thing' of some kind...
don't ask
So anyway, I pulled apart the various bits of the line drawing that's on the first page, and which has been featured in the news, and created a web page where you can layer the various bits together and rotate them independently around the centre point of the 'sphere'. Here's a preview:
You can play with it here!
Disclaimer - Your desktop screen should be at least 1450px wide otherwise it's just a complete abomination; and mobile devices will very likely struggle. 9" Tablets and above might be okay, but I can't promise anything!
Update: I've improved it for mobile/tablets now and it should work pretty well on narrower screens too. Couple of other things have been added/fixed as well (see post update here)
You can rotate:
- The sphere with the line in it
- All four outer symbols independently
- The top-left arc
- The top-right arcs (together)
- The two outer lines (together)
I don't know if being able to do this will yield anything interesting - but I'm sure a few people will have fun playing around with it!

For the geeks:
The page uses knockoutjs to dynamically bind a bunch of absolutely positioned divs, each with the individual images (transparent pngs) set as their background. Knockoutjs bindings are also used to set CSS3 rotate transforms on each layer, based on the rotation values in the sliders.
In addition to knockout, the page also uses bootstrap 3 + bootstrap slider plugin + its knockout binding handler.
The transform-origin for all the layers is set to the pixel coordinate of the centre of the 'sphere' so that all elements rotate around the same point. As you'll see, it's very-slightly off, but not enough as to interfere that much.

LZ This is pretty amazing!
Let's rotate!
Unfortunately from mobile it is not possible.
Deserves the front page!

Already trying to turn it into some manner of critter for the lols

This is great work, good job! Because the circle grid is similar to the orientation guide on our ships, maybe orientation is important. Going to play with this so hard. SO HARD

Kinda did read the front page, in detail.
I've gone back and looked for them, and I can see those "chirps" in some of the recordings. I was speeding up the audio by a factor of 4 to hear the "purrs" better, and the "chirps" disappear at that speed. And beside, IsAB has looked at them (Kloopy's page seems to have died somehow).Yep, different systems with the same probe. Problem is that the same probe gives different results in the same system.
Indeed, it appears non-repeating.
The "purrs" really do sound like morse when you speed them up 4x. There's clearly "short" and "long" purrs. However, they don't really correlate to anything meaningful in morse, they might also be binary.
Yeah, this might be the case. I'm curious with the recent "hint" if using ECM on them will change the pattern.
