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. Risky though, when I tried ejecting a standard canister inside a Coriolis to see if it was possible it bounced off the walls a few times (but was fine).

I would love to see an entire station filled with commanders with blown canopies... LISTENING!!!!
 
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.

Ok then.
Back to the morse code...

P.S.
thanks!

EDIT:
BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE CHITTERING MORSE CODE AND THE BG ONE! I think that test should be done again. What if the morse code changes?

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?

They've also said when your ship explodes an escape pod take you to the last station where you can claim on insurance.

So why am I being done for murder!!

Honestly there's loads of handwaving going on in ED, I think stuff like this is always worth experimenting with but I'm leaning right into it's because *handwaving* with what we hear from the UA.

just to clear some ideas;

as of 1.2 the the UA had been tested:

In station with a blown-out canopy (all modules off)

In space with a blown-out canopy (all modules off)

In space with a blown-out canopy (all modules off except thrusters) trying to get the UA inside a Cobra through the... windshield? I guess we can call it a windshield since there is in fact air in Elite space :p

Nothing recored, but there were a few of us "listening"

As a possible clue to our mystery here, has anyone looked at the most recent news article relating to the missing prism senator? The Prism senator was all over the new when the UA news articles were around. They dropped the name of the Senator Kahina Tijani Loren ship earlier "the seven veils , then told us to look back into our past in a different news article much later as another hint. As relating the most recent article and the ancient medallion, Salome is related to a person in the bible who did the dance of the seven veils or something (check wikipedia). Someone not at work check this out, and maybe it could lead to a way to interact with the artefact or give us some new ideas.

Aside from being risky, you are also unlikely to hear very much of the UA with the station announcers, etc.

How about the observation desk in the Anaconda.

lol nope, would love to see it though.
 
I spent many years listening to morse and i can guarantee its vid 8

VID 8 produces nothing on the galaxy map.

VID produces 4 options,

VIDU - Last name of a composer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_Vidu
VIDUCASSES - named after the celtic people
VIDATTUNS - Seem to be a well known system good for trading
VIDAVANTA - another good profitable trading system according to google

I don't have any of their system data but may be we got to take it to the 8th planet in one of those systems.
 
Has blackhole testing been tried yet? I don't remember reading about it on the Wiki.

Not surs what it could possibly do, I'm still going with the Cave Johnson mentality here.
 
Haha my bad, I haven't been on all day today. I guess we should dance in front of the Artefact then? Since it is playing music :p Or maybe it wants the planets to dance for it? Take it next to a neutron star and let it watch it spin.

haha no worries, its good to see i'm not the only one who made the connection.

Lo Lobey had pointed out that the name of the dance performed by salome was "The Dance of The Seven Veils" and Lady Kahina's ship is called "Seven Veils"

what this has to do with the UA, i cannot say. Some posts on this thread suggest that the GalNet news article is just a nod to Drew Wagar as the article is ripped directly from HIS BLOG. Which makes sense to me, no sense going on a wild goose chase.

yessir, it has.

Just so that someone else doesnt have to, I am visiting and scanning all VID systems, especially anything that could be #8 in the system.
Just found one 510,000ls from primary, see ya later

good idea, Vid could be the system, 8 could be the planet. ninja'd by knowles2 ;p

Hmm yeah I guess the article I was thinking of that needed to be researched in our past was related to the soontill relics. https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/18-MAY-3301

There is no UA connection with Kahina, from the horse's mouth. It is Drew's farewell to Kahina post for Galnet from his blog (it is not from the book), see http://www.drewwagar.com/progress-report/its-not-goodbye-just-farewell-for-now/ and the updated Kahina bio: http://www.drewwagar.com/progress-report/profile-senator-kahina-tijani-loren/

We need the system data.
I think we are looking for a system with this planet pattern from the star: smal, smal, smal, large, medium, large, unknown (maybe large).
 
To give your CMDR's life a valuable direction -> To the RIM See you there CMDR's

...Unfortunately the spioler funktion no longer works with the local pictures ....

Reshas finding -> following next sytem -> if ASP enter wake to outpost he gives the "final" message
Glad to share it with you all without any delay.

We salute you!

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.

Good questions. Ask FDev.
 
Just to state it as clearly as I understand the situation:

There is absolutely no link between Senator Loren and the UA. Drew had begun the process of trying to develop her story in the game world, following on from the events of his book - and this all started to kick off soon after the UA was first discovered and the collective community clamour really started to kick in.

However, he confirmed that they were not linked, and that it was just him trying to weave it together to create a sense of mystery and to make it all more 'alive'.

After the recent announcement that he was leaving the ED universe, in a player capacity, for the foreseeable future (possibly till August, if the upcoming surprise touted by FDev was good enough) this end to the Loren story is a neat way of writing her out without explicitly killing her off. As was suggested by Zenith (+rep there).

So we must not waste any time on Ms Loren, and I dare say somebody should be updating the Wiki to reflect this. If I get a moment I will do so, just can't promise anything (sorry peeps).
