I thought it was probably a typo or something but just in case...
Anyway thanks for confirming dogs not whales.

Has anybody taken one to a MILITARY system like Facece?
Let the military R&D bods examine it and report what they find in Galnet.

They like biscuits, of course - don't forget to stack up on biscuits.
Congratulations

Tell us something we don't know!
...no, seriously...
Maybe the UA is the Tamagotchi of the 34th century. You have to feed it, keep it entertained, don't let it die.
Have you tried looking at your crotch (in game) ?
Er... I'm going to hate myself for this, but I just started wondering if there are any constellations that are related to locks or keys.
Turns out there is if you are Chinese: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_(Chinese_constellation)
The 'lock' is a 4-star part of a wider Chinese 'Mansion', found in the stars, called 'Room'.
It's located in Scorpius, which I don't think is the same direction as the Pleiades, so it's almost certainly nothing, but if there's anyone out that way, might be worth checking out. Oh and 'Antares' is part of Scorpius.
Would be good to find exactly which 4 stars it is that represent the 'lock' on this door.
But, anyway, just pointing out that there's another way to interpret the 'unlock' word
...So it's not four stars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorpius_(Chinese_astronomy)
It's two: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Scorpii - Omega Scorpii 1 and 2:
(To save opening that page....)
Omega 1 (424LY from Sol in RW) is a B1V, also has the designations: 9 Scorpii, HR 5993, HD 144470, HIP 78933
Omega 2 (265LY from Sol in RW) is G3II-III, with designations: 10 Scorpii, HR 5997, HD 144608, HIP 78990
The first one, being a B type, might be interesting.
But then so is the bottom of my shoe after a walk in the woods.
Probes, or Marker Buoys around the perimeter of the Bubble - AKA: Where Those Skinbag Quadrapeds Live?
The recent advent of humanity's widespread adoption of far more powerful FSD capabilities - only held back from happening decades ago by the Antares disaster - certainly fits with this in a lore/plot sense. Even much of our emergent gameplay groups are made inherently possible by this. Commanders hither and thither are, after all, now blatting about in vessels which make the ships of not-so-long-ago look like tuk-tuks with a wonky axle - making possible the likes of everything from the Buckyballs and the Fuel Rats.
If, indeed, the UAs are probes or, as seems to me quite as likely, marker buoys around a perimeter... well, that would fit.
"Hey, Toxotoxox-10101, have you seen that Buoy 158b hasn't transmitted for ages?"
"Yeah, Toxotoxox-10111, I have."
"Think we should do something? Go and see?"
"Hell, no! After all those sentient races relocated to get away from them? It's inevitable, but why speed up the process of Renewed Contact?"
"Good point."
"Like the one on your heads."
"Hahaha... Oh. Another one's just blinked off."
"What's the word in our language for poo?"
How do we know your not a thargoid leading us on?
And why is thargoids a word that auto spells on iPhone? I need a tinfoil hat!

What did they find? Tea?
Off topic: so before I submit this, does anyone have any suggestions for changes (colour etc)?

Good point. Has anyone tried grinding up a UA and brewing it in hot water, adding milk and sugar to taste? (Can't find it on the wiki)
Probably me just being finnickity but perhaps a slight sharper shade of blue?
Nice work, I'm going to have a go at this method as the fate's don't want to let me find a convoy......I'm presuming you found it floating?
Well, it needs a whale and two kittens purring and....
Nah, actually, looks nice, although if possible, you might want to highlight the morse a little. Give it a white border, so yellow 'font' with a white edge?
Yes, floating, within 100ly of the BH. Averaged about 1 SSS per 30-45 mins in HR 1185. I wouldnt bother with HR 1172, hardly any SS at all. Jumping about doesnt help either.
I would have rather ripped it from a convoy, loads more fun, but this method has the advantage that it is in my Asp, and I can whizz about to PoI very quickly.

Has anybody in the FD team described what the purpose of Nav Beacons really is? Apart from being a very bad spot to bounty hunt, does it help you discover celestial bodies inside the system? Planets that would not appear and require a Disco Scanner to spot?
Sorry if that's a really newbie question, but I haven't read any clear message from FD describing what they really do. They emit morse, just like the UA, they have a similar behaviour.
Can the next guy that discovers a freefloating UA NOT scoop it up and wait patiently for something to drop?

As mentioned before, I waited in silent running for around 10-15 minutes (everything off apart from life support and sensors in a DBE can take you far) and nothing ever happened.
was flying around Pleiades last night mainly visiting non B-type stars, only saw 2 USS in several hours until I ended up in Maia lots of SS pop up there! will keep hunting tonight
edit: got a full military convoy with 2 T-9s in Maia last night, best I got in HR 1185 was 2 condas + 1 t-9 carrying antiques
Hey!
Started to travel to Maia last night, lets meet up when I get there tonight
