Okay no worries, I do think we have missed something there, I am going to keep looking, I'll refer to those links that you have illustrated.
Either way, very fun science! I do believe that there is multiple layers to the audio message, the 5 note tune at normal speed and the trumpet/trombone, i'll look into it further, give it some hard sciencing :)

You could be right: so please go on with your reasearch on it!
There are so many things we still don't know.

In reference to the UP/UA silencing I'd recommend reversing jettison order to see if it is a simple sound naming / group collision. First UA, then UP to see if it silences the UA then. ;-)

Yes or equally I could be wrong, that's a beauty of science, not often humans set out to prove themselves wrong, except for us mad scientists of course ;)
If anybody would like to help me with this investigation please do, as I'm no expert at morse or sign language etc, so I'm going to have
to study it from scratch to some degree.

o7 cmdr :)

I did both already ;)
UP always silent.

But it could be a bug like the T-ships not be drawn by the UA, remember?
Who can say? We need to go on testing until someone pops up here saying: "working as intended"... :D

Thank you!
Also: Shock them both with an ECM burst, maybe the need some energy to start mating. :D
 
Examining Mhyre's video that was recorded near Earth and comparing it to Netslayer's 1 hour audio (on merope 5c surface) we have of the UP there is something interesting going on :

The Purrs on Mhyre's video are definately sped up, by a factor of 2. They are shorter in duration (1 and 1.6 seconds for high and low) and occure twice as frequently (every 5 seconds) , while on merope's surface they occur every 10 seconds and last for 1.6 and 3.2 seconds each)

I thought the whole audio is for some reason sped up, but it's not.
The chirps still occur every (more or less) 10 seconds and their duration is exactly the same as the ones on merope 5c, also the howls seem to be the same as the ones on merope 5c as well.

Some more tests from other locations (like halfway between merope and sol or other inhabited systems) might be in order.

That's aleeady bene observed with the UA as well. In a decaying UA/UP the purrs go faster and higher in pitch, until UA/UP death. In the one hour recording, the UP is not decaying, hence the slower speed.
That's the reason why I've always seen the PURRS like a ticking clock.
Or better a countdown.

Moreover, even a decaying UP has the same background noise observed in the UA, the one I've always tried to give a meaning to, ending in thinking it represents its RAGE, because scooped.

Just dropped into a degraded emission thingy to find.

A dead Anaconda complete and with still glowing battle scars on the top, i am a lil scared.
 
Damn, that is a LOT of cargo...is it all scoopable, or are the wreckage parts showing as an object too? :/ we really should be checking out more types of signal sources I think, anything tier 4 certainly.
 
Wether it's magnetic or sexual repulsion, I don't know. :)

I lit candles and incense sticks in my cargo hold, to encourage mating. But if She (the UP) does not like Him (the UA), nothing can be done. ;)

What if the UP sings and howls because it is "calling" the UA, and when they are close it stops howling, because it found it?
Drop a ua & take the UP away to several distances to see what happens? Would instancing prevent that?

What I plan to test this evening is better:
I'll jettison the UP first, waiting fo it to howl. Only then I'll drop the UA to see if the UP stops howling from there on.
 
So been thinking about these orbital tests that the NPC's have been referring to, perhaps tis a speed + gravity thing.
Thinking just the right speed around the right mass ( Merope 5c ?) triggers something.
When you are in the upper part of orbital cruise you can do a fast orbit by getting your pitch into the blue bit preferably on the center line, and the higher you are the faster you go.
Could be tried at different heights but thought it would be worth a try as a UP test.
So possibly one for you Riz as you are the guardian of things, if you have not tried it all ready that is :D

Just to clarify as a native English speaker- "Orbital testing" doesn't necessarily mean dropped from ship while at an orbital height; flying in orbit around a planet whilst carrying a UP would also be an orbital test, & I suspect what the convoys will have been doing; the problem here is that I suspect if you have CRCR then that would shield the UP sensing & prevent any behaviour trigger.

if that doesn't elicit a response around Merope5C then I suspect LZ's hypothesis of them (UP not probing for something there) would be stronger (however I might believe the shell of UAs could have come from 5C, but cant see how the UP behaviour of pointing at 5C would then fit in since UAs & UPs are clearly related)

There's no need to see them lighting up, as the UP and UA howls are VERY different. VERY. Listening is enough, for me at least. ;)
I'll do the test with two UA later: first I have to perform the most important experiment, next night. It's a Top Secret experiment.
You'll be informed as soon as it ends. :D

don't forget to test if UP acts as a compass when on the surface to provide some cross-bearings to "Paul's thing"; don't think that has been definitively ruled out yet
 
I use that to record footage when I'm playing with the Oculus Rift - works really well I think - don't get the same FOV on the recording vs what I actually see, but it's good enough.

I'd use shadowplay, but the shortcut doesn't seem to work.

Maybe an Oculus Rift issue? But dont forget you need to use the Nvidia app to set Shadowplay to the correct settings. However since an Nvidia update around Xmas the app has been a real pain to open.
 
Thank you!

Take them out to dinner, some red roses, Belgian chocolates, a good bottle of wine and some romantic music!
Used to work for me, when I could remember what happened next ...

"they're using our own satellites against us, the countdown signal is synchronising the ships via our own satellites. And when the count reaches zero?
boom!"

(still think the first Independence Day film was the best! ;) )
