I have also seen other strange missions pop up, from secret societies that are in game and are not factions.

Here's the mission text for all of them :

======================================
=== Discrete Redstribution Agent Desired
======================================

uc


======================================
=== Obfuscated in the Outer Rim
======================================

uc

uc


======================================
=== The Silent Song of the Spheres
======================================

uc

uc

There's an extra image in the first mission as it's possible to return to the mission giver without the item where their tone gets a little more urgent and so they "give away" a bit more information, from what we could see this is not possible on the other two missions.

There's also the blackbox mission which could be related, but I'm not sure what information is in that or if there is an extra screen there too.

But there are three mission right, one for each branch of Elite?
And they are all linked to The Dark Wheel in Shinrarta Dezhra.

So the quesion comes to mind, if you're allied with The Dark Wheel ... do those missions. Do you get a bit more information?
And is that information linked to this mysteri, or another one. Hm.

I've allied up with DW to have a look. Or have someone else tried it out?
I don't have all 3 ranks yet though.

EDIT: Bitstorm did all of them. Excellent.
Where you allied with the DW at the time? (I do recognize you use their logo in your avatar though, not sure what you are hinting at there).

Just to say I haven;t done them all, only the combat one, Nilreb (above!) did the other two.

But yes I have been trying to build Dark Wheel rep for this reason, it's slow going though and I am currently off the case as I lost my UA and am back hunting. =(

Also I was rather put off to see the Dark Wheel giving me the SAP8 mission to spy on the Dark Wheel which clearly makes no sense and just made me think these are actually just generic missions. =(

If you need to speed up repping them, I could sit outside the station collecting stuff in the miscelanious wakes. And hand it off to you so you can get new missions again.

Ahh cheers! I don't quite understand how that works but I may take you up on it somewhere down the line!

I think the ideal scenario is taking those missions out with high Dark Wheel rep AND a UA in the hold, so UA hunting currently and may go back to building rep later.

Agree, it's an interesting test to do. I cannot do the Explorer variant, only the two others now with Allied status.
I'll see if that changes anything with the two above pictures though, and perhaps if I'm offered something else due to the status.

PS: I do fly around with misc assortment of black boxes, relics and stuff from LSS, so when my science collegues need them for a mission I can drop it off 10km outside the station, they go in and deliver on a mission, the BB will update new (suitable) mission in the meantime, somewhat speeding up their ranking a bit.

I added the recently found Krisha system, and discovered that if you add a description column to the csv at the end after the coordinates, it automatically adds them to different layers with that descriptor, so you can make the different kinds of systems different colours (UA, Halsey, plague).

Nice! will try that thanks
 
New to ED and quite intrigued - and nowhere close to going after something that could bite back ;)

Three signals - universal references - triangulation :

Haven't been around much yet - do some of the stars make noises ?

Jes' me 0.02 cr ...


Ya when this started, I made the trek out to several known pulsars and black holes to see ... was not able to confirm any special sound to them (I made some videos but they were pretty boring so i didnt post). We also tried the Universal Cartographics "sounds" but they did not seem to vary either.

Yep but I've not got it yet, I'm waiting for them to get in contact with me which just takes time.

Congrats !
 
Good find on the Silver comet.

Quy/Quiness has been tested with the UA I think.
It's probably a different mystery, but something is going on.

If the UA isn't targeting Elite combat pilots only ;-)

Yeah, this came up waaaaay back in the first thread. The Silver Comet is based on one of the short-stories in the collection of new lore stories. Unless they have changed it somehow, no UA connection there. And Quy has been tested, and despite its strong lore connections to a Thargoid presence on the planet (and its description in the Galaxy Map) no sign of anything.
 
Thanks though just a question is the audio glitch going on in the elite dangerous stream reminding anyone else a bit of the UA sounds?

EDIT: the glitch was fixed but after multiple restarts of the stream so it's easy to mark it.

hehe, stop right there - don't get sidetracked over an regular audio glitch.
 
I'd like to point out that boiling point changes with pressure. Ie. Boiling point of water at 2atm is ~121c or 394k

Thanks! that's what I meant by stabilize. If you increase pressure then the boiling point temperature requirement increases as well because it because the molecules are more compact. This effectively widens the temperature spread which allows a particular molecule to remain a liquid over a wider range of temperatures.
 
Congratulations Ratking15!

As a sidenote... I do wonder if FD will ever read all the information we've gathered here....

Edit: Still hunting and streaming... Still no UA encounter.
