I'm sure people are already all over these but...

- has anyone tried flashing their lights at the ship?

- has anyone checked UA/UP behaviour after an encounter? (Do they still point to Merope, send the same signal, react the same when honked, etc)

Well I don't know if a UA is technically required to initiate the UV, but it sure helps.
I jumped about the Pleiades about 20 times today, then went and got rack from Palin and went to Hip 14479 for a UA, traveled back to Maia. First jump out of Maia I was pulled out! (not off).

Its really very cool, nice one FD.

ok finally got caught by our alien friends... I had in my cargo hold a UA plus one of each Ancient relic and of course UA-fragments. Nothing different happened that I noticed but I'll go back over the recording to check.

Is it confirmed as necessary to have UA/UP in hold to generate an encounter? If there's a connection between them and this ship, you would think they would show more interest in a human ship carrying their tech.

I think one of the interesting things to try would be honking at the UP to create the emp effect while the unknown ship is flying off. Will it disable it? Could this be seen as provocative?

So this must be the UA's and UP's engines?

I can tell you when it happened to me It was just after "repeating" some jumps near merope and etc, Didnt have any relics or UA's/UP/Metas or anything, if anything it could be related to if you've encounted a ua But it seems to be mainly RNG

Have you ever had contact with them?

I thought that I would try a control experiment. I have a relatively new character, she has only had dealing with the Alliance, never had any contact with a UA/UP, never been to the ruins or the crash sites. The only thing she has done is purchase 1t of Meta Alloys to unlock Felicity.

I have just been flying around the Pleiades/Aries region for the last hour and not had a single bite. It's obviously not conclusive, but it is compelling. The only trouble is I don't want to pick up a UA to see if I then get taken, because I want to keep this character clean.

Looking at the recording of UV hyperdiction I think its possible to get into its wake/hole in space time it appears to be digging. I nearly did and i wasn't trying too deliberately. A faster ship could get along side even slightly ahead as it opens up in front of tbe UV.

A close up view of the cockpit

I've been checking the images of when the ship scans and it seems as though the circles each side of the cockpit is where the green/yellow scan 'tendrils' emerge from.

Other things to note are the 'structures' around the canopy. Not sure if they are external or we are seeing part of the control systems..

i 100% agree that this is most likely a cockpit..

The 'crashed' Alien ships had a huge circular structure in the middle of them, that look alot like this Sans the cockpit/canopy itself. I wonder if that circle structure is what's left after the Pilot/cockpit seperates during an Eject process.

I wonder if (now that these ships are officially activated in game) that we might find alien escape pods, maybe around the systems that are already know to have a crashed alien ship in them. (we find human escape pods all the time).

I can't find the info: are there any encounters outside of the pleiades region ? Like people near Colonia ? (that's where I'm right now after bringing 10 tons for the Cannon, it would take me days to get back to Maia :eek:)

It seems I've been late to the Jellyfish party this time! :D

Anyway I've updated the Frontpage (partially...)

It's the cockpit that was missing from the wreckages ;)
