There's one definite piece of supporting evidence for UAs being cannibalised UPs: the UAs transmit data over 'vast distances' - said Palin. And so do UPs, just in a different way.Originally Posted by Thatchinho(Source)
Oh snap! The data is transmitted directly through witchspace?
Anyway, I'm much more comfortable, despite my earlier post, to accept that unknown probes are alien - and that UAs are made from them. Nice post - out of rep![]()
Server purge failed, is interesting. The data they stole from Palin might still be onboard.Originally Posted by AdmlAdama(Source)
It is. Scan the Cap Ship data point and you get Unknown Ship Data.Originally Posted by Han_Zen(Source)
I inferred from the Language 4 codex that Ram Tah named them Guardians based on his impression of their society, in which they "shared an expectation of mutual protection".Originally Posted by Dr Phibes(Source)

This is all fun and games until someone's battle cruiser gets blown up. No but in all seriousness riddle me this:
-How did the Thargoids know where the fleet was? I mean it wasn't obvious to begin with.
-How did the Thargoids know the ship had dangerous data on them?
-How come the Thargoids seem to be picking on only the Federation?
I think the Federation either has a Thargoid spy (unlikely) or they are interfacing with Alien tech thus unknowingly giving the Thargoids access to everything in our cyper space. It appears the Thargoids may have infected us back and aren't actually emping us but rather shutting ships down on demand.
If people here are still discussing the capital ship wreckage in HIP 17044 here are a few observations I made while there:
-Fighters were launched
-Federal ships (medium-large size) were present
-where the hell did I get FNS Pride from? IT doesn't appear anywhere afaik.
FNS Pride (FDN-RD5):
-damage around what appear to be heat vents
-audio report around the bridge, garbled, contents unknown, perhaps static
-Fires still burning 12 hours later
-Lights are still functional, suggesting that there was not a complete power failure
-Lights on the fore of the ship (viewed from above) are blinking, analyze pattern later
-Plenty of green residue on the ship, but only a few actual places appear to have damage
-Some 'hatches' on the ship are open
-It appears as though not all blue circles (thrusters/shield gens?) are offline
Corvette next to FNS Pride (FVU-85):
-Emergency lighting is active
-damage appears to follow a similar pattern to that of the FNS Pride (around what are presumably the engines and along various points of the hull with fire being present close to the engines)
-Hardpoints are not deployed
-Cockpit is undamaged, or at least not visibly from the outside
-
Dropship next to FNS Pride (FDS 158):
-External lighting is still active
-similar damage appearance as FVU-85
-power distributor is burning
-hardpooints are not deployed
-Aside from the fires there is very little in the way of noticeable failures presuming that the green material hasn't eaten through the armor
-2 dropships with identical models and identical numbers are here
Federation fighter (F-63 model?) next to FNS Pride and FDS 158:
-blue, possibly telling of the faction involved
-no emergency lighting, but lights are present in the forward sections and are active
-no pilot of any description, just a blank chair
-1LAR-1A-X
-some external damage, but none of the green material found on the other ships
-cockpit appears cracked, but perhaps not completely broken
-
Group around Transmitter:
-same as group around FNS Pride (1x Corvette FVU-85, 2x Dropship FDS-158, 1x fighter)
-this fighter appears to have been damaged in a similar manner as the Corvette
-fire around the engines
-green material on the wings
-1LAR 1A-X is the fighter designation
Transmitter:
-no visible damage, why?
-did not hear message while in fighter at 11:59-12:10
-audio report from transmitter, should be reviewed
Second Battlecruiser:
-labeled only as FDN-RD5
-appears to be similar if not identical to FNS Pride
In conclusion I have three questions:
1. Why are SLF deployed and damaged when the first thing that Thargoids do is to EMP a ship and most of the SLFs show damage presumably from Thargoids? (How can the SLFs be launched if none of the ships had power?)
2. Why are the lights still functional and why do the audio beacon and one of the fighters appear to be mostly undamaged? Also, where is the crew?
3. Whoever targeted these ships targeted specific subsystems, and from what I can tell those subsystems were power or propulsion related except in the case of the FDS. Why target only these systems if their intention was to stop the message from being received?
Well going on past games they got vastly superior drives to us, probably better sensors as well.Originally Posted by publicstaticvoid(Source)
Well there been hints of spies amongst the human race!
We also know there might have been some kind of deal struck after the last war. So may be what ever faction negotiated that is giving them intelligence.
An we never did find out the story behind the sighting of those strange DBX recorded by stations.
Plus someone may have told them it was the Federation that deployed the Mycoid virus against them.
As usual we are on the same line of thoughts: while it is morse, it is made by a chittering/alien like sound: this is enough to be dubious about its real origin, in both cases, human or not.Originally Posted by Han_Zen(Source)

Despite whatever can be assumed, the origin of the UA is still an assumption. However, in my previous posts I've given a Story-wise explanation of why I think/assume that UA, UP and Barnies ar all Thargoids, parts of the same plan: Explore, Inspect, Scan, Collect Data, Discover, Scout, Choose, Move Pieces, Settle.
More than possible and it would be the best way to go as its gives Frontier more space to grow the Thargoids without conflicting with past storylines.Originally Posted by Vasious(Source)
Apparently their a book in Frontier headquarters filled with details on the Thargoids.
http://www.gamerevolution.com/featur...lanet-landingsSomewhere inside Frontier Developments' office in Cambridge is a book filled with information about the Thargoid alien race. "It's about this thick", said the representative in-charge of my appointment, holding up his fingers several inches apart indicating that the book could be larger than a dictionary.
Despite this, very little is known about the Thargoids publicly. In-fact, we aren't even sure if they consider mankind hostile or friendly.
This investment in developing a backstory for the species will play an incredibly important role in v2.4, ensuring that Frontier Developments has prepared well in advance for making the final update of season two as interesting as possible.
All of a sudden I'm wondering how good Frontier office security is! umm I wonder if the excuse I thought this was all part of a ARG would cut mustard with the courts!
Now... THIS IS INTERESTING!

Excerpt, spoiler ahead:
"After a sequence of brief demonstrations, I was shown a video of a player approaching a planet with an exotic landmark. This landmark had tall, sharp spikes, deep ridges, and was clearly unlike anything the game currently delivers with its procedural generation. My attention was grasped. Approaching closer, the player was able to land their SRV before heading into a nearby cave. This was no ordinary cave, though. What was inside were hundreds if not thousands of egg sacs, and slimy walls that clearly were the construction of something beyond the understandings of the current universe.
At the end of the video, the player observed a large item of interest that I anticipate is likely a teleportation or communication beacon used by the Thargoids. But before I could learn more, the video cut."
And this as well...

This is kind of what I was thinking too. Good post. +repOriginally Posted by Thatchinho(Source)

I couldn't wait, I was in the middle of a mission carrying loads of stuff to destination in different system.
