Ah yes, my old stomping ground.

Between that and the other recent report, hopefully that's proof enough that spawn locations for convoys are just random.

I really think they convoy systems are random, with very low probability. I'm was going to check the video now, It appeared just 5 seconds after entering the system. I was close to the star for sure when it spawned, but now I can't confirm as raptr decided to fail. Damn it!

Thing that makes me saddest about all this convoy stuff, I've never had a convoy spawn... not that I'm really looking.

Meanwhile, during the Beta, the very first convoy USS I went to was one of the Military Transport convoys. I think I mentioned something in one of the beta forums, since I'd never seen a "Military Transport"... but there was no chatter and no UP or cargo on board.

Can I asked, have experiments gone done with meta-alloys? As in protection from the UP pulse?

Again can't see anything on 1st page or spreadsheet.

I've been looking for it for one month now. Just today I changed the python for an Asp to get a couple of UAs for an experiment and I have to find the convoy on my trip back (note: I really doubt the only UA I got had anything to do)... I guess I'm even more miserable :/

Merope 5C is definately bugged. I am using a simple assumtion from the UP diagram that comes up with the co-ordinates 90.125 x 65.030. However, having reached VERY close to those co-ordinates a little off the surface the x and y co-ordinates suddenly changed. I reversed to try and get back on track and the game completely crashed. This makes finding stuff on this planet a rather difficult task. Relogging in on solo to see what happens. On a side note I am carrying the UA.

Cool ilo! Already added to the spreadsheet.
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING! or it's just random like it always has been

I seem to remember that with the UA convoys .... They seemed random but there might have been a relation to a particular System State? Which made it more likely to see them?

I just checked the spreadsheet. Not that the sample is big enough, but I'd go for low/med security systems. I can change the state of Kagutsuchi and see if it keeps spawning, but I'm afraid it would not be deterministic unless it spawn again with a different state. Also, I can't do this alone.

Im a long way behind on the whole UA/UP thing, and may have already been mentioned..

What happens if you 'honk' the UP with a UA next to it?
What happens if you 'honk' multiple UP's next to each other?

Ya it just seems like there are places where you get more convoy activity of all types .. And I think its tied to background sim / security but don't know if that really helps

Honestly, I really thought before the encounter that the current spawning systems had anything to do and define where the floating UP was to be found. i'm a bit disappointed now, because finding a convoy in feudal space on a indi ship just rendered me totally clueless now on where to look at..

But hey, we will get there, we will find and identify the pattern and we will solve this mistery, I know you guys are smart enough :)

Erm, latitude doesn't go higher than 90. You hit the pole which is why longitude starts changing so rapidly.
