Perfect! I absolutely thrust you!
Now we have to understand what the hell it means
By the way also SAP 8 is absolutely meaningless, unless there is some code involved, like ROT 8, I really don't know...
Please dont THRUST me.......LOL

Is there a chance that the "vid 8" morse code is always playing in the background noise but the only reason we think it's from the UA is because no one has pulled apart audio samples of the game with out a UA?
Put simply, if we record empty space with out the UA will we still hear the morse?

Sounds like some progress here guys, just to clarify which sound exactly is it you are de-morsing (is this a word) to get VID 8?
I have checked all the acronyms of VID and non seem too relevant.

Could any one with the knowledge give me a rundown of the morse code theory? Including how a player can hear the morse/any video recording? This is one part of the UA I'm not overly familiar with and I'd like to catch up. Just point me in the right direction and my curiosity will take over
cheers
SURE!
It's something I was keeping on hearing in the background sound, but I was not able to let other people in this thread to hear it as I did.
So I did some "manipulations" just to make that sound clearer. But you must know that if you listen carefully, you can hear it in the original recording, without any aid, as I do.
See here, you should find everything you need:

Was already checked, and in the recordings we have, that BG sound appears and get louder while closing in to the UA.

I don't want to make anyone mad... But if all the sounds we hear come from our ship (so we don't go mad), how are these sounds making it through the vacuum of space? Could it be our ship is trying to relay the sounds and cannot? Just translating it to the best of its abilities and into simple morse?
Thanks, i was starting to go crazy reading about ancient herodian coins with wheel-symbols.
So, we had a bunch of galnet articles with her going around meeting with different faction leaders and fitting special exploration-flavored modules to her ship. Now shes been gone for a month and we find her ship scrapped/looted.
Was she and her story just "killed off" by FD? Did she go and join the dark wheel?
I really thought she was "ahead of us" in this UA mystery and her actions would somehow give clues to what she found studying the UA as this unfolded.
Hahah true
Counter: the UA is broadcasting to our ship sensors
Self counter: the UA can be heard with sensors shut off
Goddammit, self.

If that's the case, then would it not want our computer to be able to "understand" what is being broadcasted? ie listening...
Makes me scratch my head as well. If there was a sensor module, or something in the functions tab that had to do with sensors (apart from linear switching) I would think those are the obvious answers. But nothing comes to mind, and as this is the first FDev game I've played I lack any background knowledge to theorize. I may have to sit down and play through some of the old games.
Exactly my thoughts. Proven that there is no noise in space. Proven that the sounds we hear are generated by the ship. So how are we hearing what the UA is broadcasting? Seems like a double standard by fdev. Is it possible for our computers to translate an unknown sound? If not, what does it do?
Would really like someone from fdev to comment, since they are the ones who created the sounds.
I think you just have to ignore the no sound in space thing and assume that what you hear is the sound that what you're listening to is producing.
There are plenty of *handwaving* inconsistencies in ED if you look for them.
Aye, Its almost impossible to solve a mystery if you don't know the laws of physics in the video game.
We could be hearing the UA as if it were in aptmosphere, but that would be against the laws of nature.
If it is indeed through our ships sensors, how can we still hear the thing when our sensors are off?
We can still recive comms from another CMDR when our sensors are off so maybe there is a 'comms sensor' built in to the ship
theres just so many variables that the answer could be anything and nothing
Hello HipToss!
I think that all this "no sound in space" thing has been widely discussed, and it assume us and FD to do some "compromises" and "suspension of reality" about that.
Moreover, the UA sound is audible in Debug Camera mode that, in some way, is "outside of ship".
BTW, all this things you are saying, let came to my mind another "stupid" idea:
Has anyone tried to listen to the UA after SHUTTING OFF all systems? Most of all the LIFE SUPPORT one?
We know that the sound changes a lot and becomes "muffled", so what if some other sound, hidden before, could become AUDIBLE then?
Ratking15!!!! Where are you?!?!?!?!

Just blow up someone's canopy and have them 'listen' to the UA.
No need to melt our heads (again) over a frivolous subject.
It also is a nice test to do, anyway. Gotta keep throwing them sciences at the wall, 'eh?

That's nuts then. FD clearly has stated that the noise we hear is generated from our ships. So when any noise is created that is not coming from the ship (ship exploding) our ship creates the noise. Does this mean our ships keep a database of noises to produce when something happens outside of our ship?
When the computers senses that this UA is nearby, what sound does it create? Who created it in the Elite world, and if someone has already created the noise, should we not know everything about it?
Again, not trying to stir this pot, but this seems VERY broken, since MB told us to LISTEN to it. The noise is coming from our ship???
Thank you, i was about to go full crazy reading about ancient herodian coins with wheel-symbols.
I can field this,
Yep! One of the first tests done. I remember we jokingly said that maybe if we blow out the canopy and turn off shields we could get the UA to sit in the Cobra passanger seat.
Didn't work.
Greets RIZ@L! have not seen you in space for a bit, need to get together again for a pirate hunt
Tell you what. I will gladly donate ships from a sidewinder up to an anaconda to test the blown canopy theory or life support theory.

If we're trying to leverage how sound works in real life. The suggestion was blow out canopy, enter Coriolis where there's actually an atmosphere, eject UA, listen - this in theory should be real sound.
Risky though, when I tried ejecting a standard canister inside a Coriolis while right at the "top" to see if it was possible it bounced off the walls a few times (but was fine).
