Try getting one stuck in your throat...
Yes I know there are no Dark Wheel at that system but it is near the only base of the only secret faction in the game that i know of Nikos, other than the neighboring system going into a plague state with one faction when I was working at LFT 926 when the UA was found, there did not seem to be anything funny or out of the ordinary for that system but it still stands out for some reason just by the description itself I believe. ''Harbouring a Dark Secret''....what secret.......why is Nuenets so dark......answers on a postcard please.Maybe you are referring to the thread I opened just a few minutes ago?
No Dark Wheel faction in Nuenets currently, I'm afraid.
PLX 695 I believe has to do with Federation military/weapon development programs etc. so my logic was best place to find Federal Navy Convoys. I'm definitely starting to keep an eye out for the "odd" system with an equally "odd" description outside the usual economic/stellar info. I think in time those will be key hopefully sooner rather than later.
I've also had a similar theory regarding the UA but instead of being related to a ship's drive I think it is tied to sensors, specifically the discovery scanner. The two have very similar sound patterns. Think about it this way.. the whale sound is the HONK that our scanners do, and then the chittering sound is the same sound our discovery scanner makes when it's closing in on completing the scan of a celestial body and to top it off it speeds up like some have said the UA does. Plus there is some other anecdotal references about traveling far out and above the galaxy maybe to explore? to do that you'd need a scanner.
So
UA = Better Disco scanner?
Hafnium = Better FDS?
Painite = Focused lasers?
What else do we have?
I doubt that Hafnium or Painite would do either of those things. As for the UA, I doubt it as it seems to be too wild of a guess, but there's always the possibility

Just silly speculations. I didn't come up with anything to say about biscuits.

Still looking for UA's?
This might be a system where the show up. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=146445

Sorry this thread is way too big to check through but has this been tried yet?
Transport the UA to a star & place it next to a nav beacon, my thinking is it will decay the nav beacon that is there & replace it, to be a jump point for 'unknowns' into said system.
Apologies if I am going over old ground.

1: I think it has been tried yes
2: What do you have to back up your theory other than wild guessing?
Well I went with Michael's approach have you listened to them? yes I have.
I've also listened to a whole bunch of other things too, maps, stars, black holes, boring presentations on YouTube, enhanced recordings and finally... the discovery scanner, and that is the single closest thing that sounds like the UA in the game. At least to me anyway. If I was to compare it I'd say the UA is a biological version of the discovery scanner almost as if the scanner is a mechanical reproduction of the UA. My theory. Time will tell.

Yeah, like I said it's always a possibility, but it would be a rather disappointing possibility.
That depends entirely on what it discovers.
What would it have left to discover? We already have infinitely scanning scanners.
This will just keep going deeper down a hole of guesses, which is why I say that I doubt it's what it is.

He didn't say probe. He said discovery scanner. It could be a probe WITH a scanner.
Honestly though, while it would also be quite disappointing, I still think it's an FSD. It warps space, it has the same particle effect as our FSDs, it LOOKS like it could fit into a ship, etc.
EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure that thing is way too small to be a self sustaining probe.

SteveLaw, your GalNet Post are like gold- NO PALLLADIUM to me. You should also write up in your next Galnet post about conspiracies potentially arising from the Imperial forces as well! Also don't forget about the parasite in He Bo, gotta remember what we're doing this for! Aside from unraveling the mysteries of the Unknown Artifacts.
Where is Jesse Ventura when you need him?!

FSD's use our ship's navigation charts and sensors in order to "lock on" to other star systems. This isn't disappointing Murp this is fantastic! what if we can use the UAs to lock on to "other" systems that our crude mechanical systems can't pick up? Like "dark systems" FD said they would be in the game and even Drew's book mentions them (I'm reading it now).
(As a side note, it would be infinitely cool if we could lock on to the original "Elite" systems that disappeared with FE2 but I know that's fan fiction.)
As is, in the best of cases, the UA is either something we can use to find out where it came from and where it wants to go, or at worse an alien item that does nothing except tell us that it isn't of human origin. Either way it's still pretty awesome!

On the first spoiler, has anyone spotted the "Ophiuchius Xeno Artefacts"?
Xeno= Alien.
Anyone know if this exists or not?
JV amuses me but I'm missing the Jesse Ventura reference here... as an actor or as a governor?
The fact that it can survive about two min. in space, makes me think you are correct.
