That would be huge, looking forward to the details! Since the other UA collection patterns had been repeated, I was hoping that surface UP's would be repeated as well. Since this is essentially a free-floater, it would be hugely important to get a recording of the ADS honk prior to scooping one of these badboys up.
Any idea what general region were you in? Pleiades?
seems to me that the problem is in coding of the game, somehow that might give us an unintended hint, maybe game crashes because Pleione 4 is in some aspect
near to the determinants for the "original" UP task nd program gets stuck?
I didn't know they were making UP, Barnacles and other Mysteries into a movie;

(trailer for the 2016 movie 'Arrival', about aliens whose language we are trying to learn) Reminded me of the UP Image a bit haha

Really cool seeing the cut-away view of the UA from the art book. First thing that popped into my head is that the inside strikes me as being some sort of drive. Immediately thought of the electric motors in slot-cars. May be in the minority on this but it really looks like a motor or generator of some sort to me.
Can't wait to see what is revealed during gamescom and hopefully it'll be something we all are hoping for!

I know.
Got home from work, rebooted machine given yesterday's crash.
Started ED, am in the exact same position as yesterday, right near Pleione 3.
Deploy UP client crash at exactly the moment UP leaves the cargo hatch.
It happening twice really makes me think there may be some special UP behaviour here.
Yesterday I deployed a UA right here and limpet scooped, no issue, UP issue.
2 times out of 2 seems more that just coincidence.
Another support ticket, I have asked them to comment on whether I should retry here. I mean it seems like something might be odd about this spot as regards the UP.
Sorry for those who requested specific experiments, none tonight.

Oh, cool, didn't know that Net's was from planetside. The caveat is that Vent's Merope deep space recording is not at the slower purr rate. Because all of his recordings have the same purr rate, and all of the other recordings have the same purr rate. I'm gonna check the Pleione 4 video now.
I do both vis and by ear, it's easy to see many of them using the spectrograph (once cleaned up and filtered) and verify by ear.
Pleione 4: 34 purrs, 10 chirp triplets for a rate of 11.3 purrs/min and 3.3 chirp triplets/min. Pleione 4 is at the faster purr rate.
Yeah, we need more data!
I need to listen to vents merope audio, I only used mykls. I will do that tonight when I'm at home. If I recall correctly Vent didn't remember how deep in deep space he was.
Hopefully customer support gets back to me soon.
Keep up the good work!
Sorry it's Pleione 3 not 4. My error.
Here is where I am that seems to be consistentaly causing a crash on a UP deploy, 0.38Ls away on currently lit side :
But yes I definitely think it's a possibility, some specific code path that only runs here is executing and causing the crash?
There could be other reasons of course, my UP could just be fubarred somehow.
I would ask someone else to try Pleione 3, but if you do record it with a camera or something so you get video in case of a crash.

I posted before, but it was quickly overlooked - can someone with a clear image like that above confirm that the verticals are binary or morse encoded?
The wheel on the inside of the UA is a 'speculation wheel'. A wheel designed to provoke wild speculation.
I find the thing about the pods blowing up and being detached from the UA more interesting. It seems that we haven't tried everything, heating up a UA for example, maybe with engineered weapons, or dropping it near the exclusion perimeter of a hot star...

Are you aware that the Unknown Fragements are the "pods"?
I guess I forgot. So I just made the most afwul it's-on-the-front-page suggestion.

Just thought I'd check as I didn't realise myself until I thought I'd get a close up picture of one 
Ah well, never mind - happens to everyone at least once.
I have heated it in my ship to over 200%, dropped it close to hot stars and forced the cargo hatch to break due to heat. Nothing happens to it.
Others have fired heat weapons on the UA. No different than regular lazor.
The art book images are just consept art. It looks quite different to a real UA.
