Oh yes.

Where the pupae in the middel looks slightly UAish

Thats the right type of holy scarab, by the way

One more for the mythology geeks.

The Asp explorer (wonderful ship named after the Asp famous for being the symbol of Egyptian nobility)... the paint schemes for it are straight out of mythology. Apollo who in Greco-Roman mythology also associated with the Sun and last but not least... Pharaoh.

Strikes me as really odd that 34th century humans (those who went through not 1 but 3 world wars on Earth) would give a rat's bottom about ancient Egyptian hocus pocus... really odd unless it means something.

Isn't 'Asp' just another name for the Egyptian Cobra?

 

[EAGLE 5]

Isn't 'Asp' just another name for the Egyptian Cobra?

I think so, though I think the Asp as a snake is fatter and not as wide as the Cobra.

There's not only reference to Egyptian gods in game, but to other deities from older cultures as well. The following systems:

- Enki (male)
- Enlil (male)
- Anu (male)
- Marduk (male)
- Ninhursag (female)
- Ereshkigal (female)

all refer to ancient Sumerian deities (from 4000 BCE to 2000 BCE).

There are also interesting cross links here:

Marduk is believed to be the same as the Egyptian god Ra.
Enki is believed to be the same as the Egyptian god Ptah (creator god), also a system in game.
Ninhursag is believed to be the same as the Egyptian goddess Hathor.

Wait, so you guys are saying we should float the UA down the Nile and have Arissa raise it as part of the royal family, right? Am I caught up now?

 

[Zenith]

It can fail at quite a high percentage, not sure if 84% but certainly 75%.

My experience was that I had just come out of SC and was heading to the station. The UA fell out while the cargo hatch was on 84%. Thankfully nilreb was nearby and able to help scoop up all the containers I'd dropped.

General question

What have people generally used to decode the morse code? listening really carefully and jotting the notes down, or some sort of software similar to this? http://www.polar-electric.com/Morse/MRP40-EN/

Also, has anyone looked into if the trombone notes is some kind of tone dialing and gotten any numbers out of it?

Simple listening. After a while you get the ear to pick apart the breaks in words and numbers jump out as groups of 5.

I'm carrying Cmdr Sigon's UA "Sivert", but I'm away on holiday until early next week. It took hours to catch up with this thread! Consider Sivert safe until I get back, when I'm considering expiration tests.

I was exploring the black hole in Maia earlier. SSS and WSS were spawning frequently. SSS was always pirates for me though.

 

[Ratking15]

Oh yeah guys......another little thing that I woke up with is this: 3...........mass............no outside game applications needed
Any thoughts? As again I'm dumpfounded as to what I was thinking while asleep....but now time for sleep again

Do we have any better location or confirmation of the UA sightin "near Furuhjelm"? There are several systems named Furuhjelm something and they're spaced quite a distance apart. This is for my mapping/triangulating project. So far just using individual locations from the list in this thread and the "confirmed" location in the wiki, the average galactic coordinates are approximately: 19/-15/-44.

Systems nearby: Aruru, Tiamat (there's that mythology angle again), Wachmann's Flare Star

Yet more places to investigate...

Same with us tonight in HR 1185, although the SSS spawns were not very frequent. I think we had four or five over three hours maybe, both at the BH and near the main star or other planets. One disconnected me as well, which was annoying (probably the one with the UA in it). Ah well, the four of us had lots of time to chat.

 

[Hoboner]

Thinking out loud here...Has anyone ever carried a UA on board with a sidewinder or an eagle? The mass thing had me thinking, and I can't recall anyone carrying one on anything smaller than a cobra/vulture/diamondback (could be wrong about this, searched and came up with nothing about it). Could the mass of the larger ships be inhibiting the UA from doing whatever it "may" do while on board?

10+ hours near a black hole has warped my brain.

It took a while to get to the black hole in Maia, (350,000 ls), but once there it tooka bout 15 mins before i noticed the first SS. They were then appearing about every 5-10 mins, alternating between WSS and SSS.

I was only there about an hour, and met about 5 groups of pirates. Collected some prototype tech, rebel transmissions, black box and experimental chemicals. I left the biowaste. Unfortunetely no UA.

I havn't noticed anywhere near that frequency of SS's in any other system.

I was examining the frequencies along the waveform and I wanted to post this.

There's our morse code, of course.

Here's an ongoing SOS signal ( ... --- ... ) It doesn't stop. Who could it be now?

Now go back and listen to the original video. It should be clear now that you know what you are listening for.

There's our Alien chattering. Almost sounds like breathing at one point.

So... What do you all think?

EDIT: Oops. One too many dots in my Morse Code.

EDIT 2: Sorry, had to add this, because it's now stuck in my head. lol

the first one sounds like anything else to me...

second one sounds like trek communicater

but the third one... i have heard those insect noises before somewhere. i dont play with music and i want to say it was in the galaxy map at a certain zoom

For me, it's the second audio sample that I find interesting. That overlay SOS. At least we know it's asking for help, or relaying an SOS.

If anyone is feeling adventurous and wants to know if the black holes have anything to do with UA spawning, try out HIP 63835. It has 3 black holes, two of them very close together. I was exploring the system before we really knew much about the UAs, and there were SSS spawning between the 2 black holes. With an exploring setup I was too nervous to jump in them. I mentioned this system in the first thread, and it was dismissed as just another system within 500 ly of civilization with random SS spawns. That might still be the case, or it might be a source for the Empire UA convoys.

Now that the UAs have been found free floating, I really want to go back and camp on those two black holes to see what the SSS have in them. Unfortunately I'm 13k ly away. If no one figures this mystery out in the next few weeks, I'll be going there.

Ratking, Wishblend, and I took a UA out there a while back (either just before or just after 1.3 was released). Saw some SSS but didn't check them out. Nothing interesting happened with the UA out there though we got some nice video.

Yeah but how do you hide a whole moon? You'd think it wouldn't be so easy. Also we'd need Horizons to explore it. Still I think I have an idea where it might be hiding if it is hiding. Doesn't Warinus orbit alone without a celestial object? Could it be nearby?

I might've sorted out at least the mystery behind Lave's missing moon. But I'm having trouble finding a system map of Lave from F:FE to verify & Google's no help. It was not hiding in any of the asteroid belts, it wasn't near Warinus (& revealed by the UA) & not around Lave II - https://youtu.be/C8pfozWiR9E

Looks like Lave II got reclassified as a planet 10 years ago (3291). So if there was no Lave II in F:FE, that'd answer where the moon went.
