UAs, Barnacles and other mysteries Thread 8 - The Canonn

Sell any spare UPs at the Canonn Institute in Col 285 Sector IX-T D3-43 its our official test station! (medium pads only)
UAs have an effect on a station when selling so would like to see if UPs do something similar

i dare say a lot due to locataion (random commanders moreso those on thiis therad) take them straight to maia to sell, those maybe not aware of this thread that hear it from word of mouth. So might be an idea to keep an eye on how things develop there to

"Carbon-ammonia based life". Also water.

Worth saving the stats for these worlds, then comparing them to Merope 5c. Is there something on Merope that isn't present on these Ammonia probe-worlds?

My guess? Thargoids.

I speculate they used to be on Merope 5C until they were wiped out. Merope 5C may have been at one stage a world quite similar to where the probes are being found. I hope I am wrong.

 

[dynamicbob]

Ok, so I take no definitive distances from Merope have been found yet? I'm currently in Mel 22 Sector HH-V d2-18, which is 112ly from Merope. There appears to be an Ammonia world here, but it's at over 300,000ls from the jump in point. On my way to test this one out, but could be some time.

My theory is 135LY and less but yeah 112LY should be a good start im currently scouting worlds in a 120-125ly band atm

So here's what's bugging me.

UA spawns are Threat 4
UP spawns are Threat 2

UAs have been shown only to degrade your ship.
UPs do the same, *and* can shut your ship down when honked.

This doesn't equate.

This is definitely one of the smarter things we can do right now. See how UP affect stations, now that we have enough to sell a ton.

It's been said before I think, but I suspect the threat level might be partly related to the signal strength. This might just indicate that the UP transmission is not as strong.

UA - created by non humans

there may be some hidden easter eggs representing anamoly thread 1 and 3 ( tis something i think everyone should look for wherever they go but such stuff might be future content to)

It kind of makes sense if it's based on the signal strength being produced.

The UA's transmit further - higher signal strength the UP's transmit a smaller distance back to Merope hence the lower signal strength.

A good test may be to position a ship between a UA and a UP and see if the UA is transmitting to the UP in the same way the UP is transmitting to Merope.

UA=Green=Anomaly Detected THREAT 4=Thargoid. Thargoids are not a fan of the humans...
UP=Red=Anomaly Detected THREAT 2=Oresians. Oresians were friends with us in the past games.

The Thargoids are known as a green insectoid race. There d***
The Oresians are known as a red insectoid race. There basicly Thargoids but not d***. they were friends/allies with us in the old games.
The Klaxians. are a known/unknown race that are coloured blue. we dont know alot about them as we never had much interaction with them in the games. They were hardly ever seen. We know there coloured blue though.

noob quetion - if U are in low orbit looking for USS2 spawns, U have to cruise or just sit and wait?

supercruise

 

[Jorki Rasalas]

Nobody searched for UP's near Ammonia worlds before? NOBODY?!

LOL!

Anyway, congratulations! Now hurry up with that signal so i can sleep agian at night.

Yes, solve it before it's mentioned on the Gamescon livestream, else we'll get a huge influx of new posts about old ideas, not reading FP, crazy hypotheses, pure speculation, and once again I won't be able to keep up with this thread so will get no more in-game time till it calms down after 2 weeks. And I want to sleep at nights too! Please solve it!

 

[Xenia_K]

supercruise

yep - knew that - my question was more with thrust idle (30km/s) or is it more promising to cover volume?

 

[N1PPER]

I can confirm the free float UP's are corroding my ship (thought I heard that they didn't corrode your ship like the Artefacts?), jump jump Palin saviour.

Looking for a UA now to complete the set, and try some of the experiments you guys are wanting done.

Anyone else here on xbox?

Scanned before I scooped it.

Pure speculation on my part, and framed as a question, but what do you think the chances are that 'Oresians' and 'Klaxians' are going to be retconned away for the purpose of using a modern Elite game to rewrite the Thargoid story? ie: We start at a point where Thargoids and Humans are at war, nothing else has ever been said between us, and start from there to begin the relationship anew?

Only thing about Obsidian Orbital is it was already shut down by UAs and fixed with meta alloys so may now be immune
due to its location it was the first station shut down by UAs so we can expect it to be the first effected by UPs as long as its not immune
Users of OO might not be too happy if it gets shut down again, Canonn Institute is the place to sell for the "responsible" scientist ........ thats if we have any

Hello iam a member of the Canonn resaerch group and tried to solve the spectrum image from the UP sound.
So this is what i think they will tell us:

vary youre speed speed up and slow down every 30 seconds or so

There was a galnet post a few days ago. maybe a week or 2. That explained whats happend between us and the thargoids. The last thing we did to them was the mycoid virus. It never mentioned a cure...
