Well, if you think you'll gonna use that/those ship, then yes. Otherwise I don't want you to spend hundreds of credits to throw them in the trash later ;)
BTW, your name will be carved on the walls of Thompson Dock as "The one who provided clear and fine recording of the UA sound emitted in front of a Corvette/Cutter.
May he be remembered for the centuries to come."

No one else has supplied this, no sir. Horizons came out something like 2 hours ago you know :D

I've got 2.6 billion. The Cutter isn't going to hurt that. Logging on. Will post the final vid on onedrive asap.

Question - better to record in cockpit or external camera closeup of UA?

Open or Mobius?

good question - my guess is a mixture of the two, depending on the player preference.

more people here are likely to be in mobius though I would've thought

I'm about to jump in in Open - not sure if my Mobius membership has been approved yet ;)

@LordZoltan:
the new morse sequences seem just a content addition to the already known UA behavior, nothing more. BTW the T-ships still behave as in 1.4, spelling the nearest object name and not their drawings, so we can assume it's not a bug, because if they've added new sequences to the UA they could have fixed it as well, no? Perhaps...

Yeah - so the drawings have changed a bit, then? Are they getting better at scanning the ships?

What else can they scan now then, I wonder?

I'll re-log in open.
See if I can find anybody.

I winged up with some people in open, but my instance was devoid of life in the "exciting" crater, even following a wing beacon to nothing. Listening to the TS was a bit like going around a museum hearing about the adventures that had gone on there but having to picture it in your mind :p



Did find lots of SRV fuel though :)

I'll be around tomorrow after work again.

Let us not forget to look into salvage sites,
i have a strange feeling imperial ships will be the main wreckages.
If i remember correctly the federation started this whole thing, so there might be a clue.

Had a lovely flight around the H shaped blue canyon of merope 1a, beautiful, parked at the top of a cliff. Hope i've got a torch in case i have to go for a wee in the night.

Nothing else to report.
Ober out o7
 
well just finished Merope 5a for tonight and we had at least 3 maybe 4 full wings together in the same instance successfully! we could all see each other as well as interact together!!


awesome job FD.

if any members are finding phosphorus and sulphur plentiful on one of the merope bodys please let me know it's hard to find on 5a :(

Good work everybody Gratz on the horizons release now here is my plan
I'm currently downloading horizons as fast as I can ! As soon as I download it I will board my asp and head to merope now it has come to my attention that you guys mentioned strange structures and mysterious things on the trailer ... @LordZoltan my mission is to explore the planets in merope as much as I can to see if I can discover any strange things on the moons ... Even if I don't it's gonna be really fun driving my buggy and enjoy the game so I won't lose anything I will inform you guys once I'm about to start on Twitter or here on the forums .... there has to be a thing on these moons that UAs point at . And I wanna find out why ! Even if I have to map every inch of the moons on this system !
 
Ah, of course. Forgot about the Orca. Counterpoint taken.

I can bring a t6 to merope or elsewhere if someone has a UA I can test it with.


The Orca is still very well Armed, however, compared to T-Ships, so...
and
I've already tested the T-6 and it takes damage exactly like in 1.4.

I've got 2.6 billion. The Cutter isn't going to hurt that. Logging on. Will post the final vid on onedrive asap.

Question - better to record in cockpit or external camera closeup of UA?

Cockpit is ok, just turn off the music, and stay as close as possible without hitting the UA. BTW if you hit it at very slow speed, there's no problem.
I suspect the Cutter will be a long sequences one, but 10 min should be enought.

if any members are finding phosphorus and sulphur plentiful on one of the merope bodys please let me know it's hard to find on 5a :(

Found lot of phosphorus and sulphur on Merope 2A. An Zirconium and iron. And awesome view of the really close rings of Merope 2 as well. ;)

Wait til you see the scale of the problem ;) that's a LOT of mapping. Although I just wondered if you could use the UA to track where in Merope to look. Do the UA still orientate to the star?

Edit: Found some drones guarding some gold canisters in 5C. Nothing else interesting so far

I am in a Cutter staring at a UA around 145LY from Merope now.

Am uploading a video about 10 minutes long of it "doing its thing". Will get back to you with a link in 20 mins or so.

Recordings of UA on surface of Merope 5a for the sound boffins to work out

1) By SRV and Ship
2) By SRV only
3) By ship only
4) By ship until decay

UA did not orientate on the surface

Expedition Day 1:

We had between 25 and 30 CMDRs in the TeamSpeak for a couple hours! Awesome way to kick off the search. I'm reminded of the old days before we knew that UA convoys spawned in SSS. We have absolutely nothing to go on right now. It won't be long until someone finds somethings and we can develop theories to refine the search. Just like last time. The only difference? We're a well tuned machine now o7 even got a sexy website.

SilentAeon and I spent the day on 3 different moons. He was in a SRV and I followed him for fire support. The only trouble we really ran into was when I accidentally rammed him to death (sorry!) It turns out obsidian orbital has a resupply for SRVs so the day was saved by those hard working people who contributed to the CG o7 too bad it also has a black market

Lugging the gunship out that far was totally worth it, and the Balck Friday paint turns her solid white. I've decided to name her Meanderthal as in 'I like to wander, but i have no idea where I'm going" We've still got about a dozen Cannoneers in the TS and even a couple Fuel Rats. We met non-canonn CMDRs out in Merope who waved and said hi. Even met a few people I recognized from the forums o7 over all a great day.

Things I learned today:
The UA shell is still 135 to 150 LY around merope
There is something interesting and green in the launch trailer
UA now damages your canopy
The T ships continue to go unscaned by the UA
However the UA does sing the Keelback song
Tea and Gold seem to be very common on the Merope moons

Yes, apparently massive sublight cargo ships full of tea plied the space lanes between the lost human colony of Merope and the Thargoid home worlds. Their remains still heavily guarded by their AI masters. (Not very effectively though).
