I think Zenith did it...
Are there any rare items that like filter leeches or ear grubs or anything Babelfish like that could be placed in a cargo hold whilst listening to the UA. I haven't personally browsed the entire rare items list yet, hence my asking.
Thanks for the pictures, very nice. The size hasn't actually been talked about much. Has me thinking escape pod or alien HE Suit again. Such a sad face on our alien friend in the second photo.
I just had the same thought, that it might be an Escape capsule, it would explain why it broadcasts the name of whichever system it is in at the time
Indeed - completely different perspectives. And now of course that triple end piece has me thinking of phage again...
Great work, well done.
Interesting that once one of 2-3 gets lost/destroyed another seems to turn up within a day or two.
What you are proposing is very interesting indeed. Is there some list of all rare goods? This thing needs inspecting...
Yes, we talked about it some time ago: we said it was waiting to be retrieved/recovered... but, if it is an escape pod, why it decays an EXPLODES in space so fast? Is it malfunctioning perhaps?

My ears aren't good but it certainly sound to me like the UA is trying to charge up something but then it loses power or fails to initialize what ever it trying to charge.
I think people have forgotten one other clue, and that the UA spawn only in a certain region of space, we still haven't answer than question yet.
Got to do work for the rest of the after noon but may be there a reason they are spawning in that region of space.
The Certain region of space = Deep space
Well, that explains why several of them were destroyed!
"Just a few yards closer, just get to within 50m and hold there... [thunk!]... ?!?"
These UAs are small... those UAs are far away..

Are all of them in a constellation?
Are we getting back to the fishy references? All the xx Piscium systems, xx Aquarii etc. systems.
I took the "Obfuscation" mission that is deliver some crystals to the other station while carrying a UA. No change in the mission text or outcome.
I tried the same thing at Shinrarta Dezhra but I couldn't get an "Obfuscation" mission provided by The Dark Wheel, only the Pilots Federation. Taking it to Nuenets didn't make any difference that I could tell. No new missions showed up in the list at SD either.
I know nilreb has been taking SAP8 missions because that's how he's getting quantities of legal SAP8s.
I was thinking more area in the galaxy.
So far all the systems that have UA appear are fairly close together, as in a couple of hundred light years of each other.
I want to remember to all of you a very important detail about the UA: there is a countdown occurring, documented and prooved by the purrs going faster and faster and the sound pitching, toward the final explosion. If we decide to let one explode, we MUST record the FULL CYCLE, until the very end.
First, because something in the sound could really change near the end (the morses too perhaps)
And Second, to see how much fast the purrs will go.
Could be, in fact "have you listened to them, until the end?"

"Obfuscated in the Outer Rim" the one that requires Elite exploration?
Ahh man, I had high hopes for that one, it would fit really well I think. =(
I can take the combat Elite ones, though I thought the exploration one would be a much more likely candidate.
The combat one is essentially the same as getting a UA, except with a 100% SAP spawn rate once you've take out the mission. I'll have a go later, it just needs a bit of patience and time to find one where the T9 ends up alone.

Maybe we should set up some guidelines for each category of experimentation, maybe on the wiki - somewhere easy to reference, so that we can be methodical and proper sciencey
I've just made some video related to that, to almost destruction, next to Jupiter's moon "Io".
In theory we should get a massive amount of complete cycles and maybe a pretty extreme set of purrs (with extended pitch increase) due to the short morse name. Just uploading. I think it's showing nothing though but haven't gone through in detail. =(

They don't get faster - there's a very subtle rise in purr pitch that is only detectable if you speed up the sound.
I.e. if you grab a recording and muck about with it - which you can't do in-game.
And the rise across the space of 5 minutes is about a quarter tone.
But... When/if someone does let one expire (again - it's been done, remember), then I'm sure there'll be loads of eyes and ears on it...
Half day holiday for me today. I'll be online in a very short time and I'll be with yours...
I've got to call it a day for now.
Ive taken the day off specifically to do something important and gone and spent all morning mucking around with a UA. =p
