no CMDR for me in Timocani. Instancing?

Note to self, this is not a contest, but here's our results:
In Bast, for the past 20-25 mins, 4 hafniums. (an UA have been spotted earlier today).
We're wading in SSS here, back to supercruise - another sss appears.

I think the most frustrating part for me personally is that I've never found a UAmyself. Others having themost and asking favours is all well and good, but there's sometimes just something about doing it yourself.
I'm not trying to say I'd do any better than anyone else here with the experiments. I did an escape room recently, part of which we had to work out the combination for a lock. A friend had worked out the combinaton, but couldn't open it. After a bit I came over and found a mistake in the combination. I tried opening it, but it still wouldn't open. My friend came back over and tried to open it with the new combination, and it worked.
Tldr They got the combo wrong, then I corrected it, but was trying to open it the wrong way. If FD are surprised we haven't worked it out, I'm sure it's that we've done something,said 'ok, didn't work. ' and have left it at that, but in reality the metaphorical key was turned the wrong way, or one number out of place or just fat fingered.

Lurius: All right, thx!
Jmanis: It's frustrating for a lot of us indeed. I completely understand you. First, they're very difficult to find. Second, maybe half of the hints we found are not related to the UA. Third, no answers from FD. If we haven't been able to solve the mystery with the hints, I don't think giving another one will make it "too easy to solve"...

I'm sure lot of those UAs were found in solo/private group.
Couldn't agree more.
I think the chances that, as a collective, we've already thought of the link and have simply not conducted the experiment that'll prove it correctly are incredibly high - not least because there are so many theories. And, I mean, come on: how much effort did we really out into finding the little space leprechauns!?
An issue I think is that we are bound by what we know we can do with the UA in game - shoot it, sell it, let it 'die', transport it, or observe it.
I've said it a few times - I genuinely think it's that there's a fairly obvious place for us to take it where, in open space, it'll either 'do' something weird of its own accord, or give us something different to listen to. We were supposed to listen to it, after all.
I'm sorry I don't buy the Orca theory at all - am just waiting for it to be crossed off the list (that's important in itself) - I think whatever it is, it'll be obvious when we see or hear it; hence why I gave up on the purrs too (not definite enough).
And whatever it is, there'll be no ambiguous interpretation of it either.
On that basis, with Soontill being a fairly obvious place to go (yes I know it's already been there...) I'd say a basic simple test is to go back to Soontill, and dump the UA within the typical 'safe to disengage' distance from the planet that's there. Then do the same thing in the asteroid belt that's there too.
And if both have truly already been done...
Any other truly likely 'weird' system anyone can think of - I'd suggest the same test again, but for all planets, moons and asteroid clusters in that system.
If space location is important - then it could be as granular as down to a local body, not just the system itself.
Easy for me as non-UA carrier and too far away to hunt to say this, I know - it's just a suggestion

On another note - the very best of luck to all involved in Biscuit Barrel. You're all heroes/heroines.

I more than half believe that we have already solved it. That the solution is indeed obvious. That whatever is required has been done. More than once. That newcomers to the thread still suggest it and the long-timers roll their eyes in a "really, again?" manner and point the suggesters to the Wiki.
Yes, I am cynical enough to believe that anything that hasn't gone through a public beta is that bugged, especially given the worryingly high number of significant bugs that have existed for far too long even with the betas.
(to somewhat balance this terminal cynicism I would like to point out that I purchased a lifetime expansion pass yesterday!)
I'm posting this purely because I haven't seen it mentioned in the wiki, it may have been posted somewhere in this thread and I missed it.
Listening to the / a sped up recording, the purrs (trombones? horns of jericho?) raise in pitch, it's only really obvious at 3x or more and only about a semitone or less at that. Could be something, probably nothing but it's something I noticed and it's been bugging me.

sooo much this.
I highly doubt that, just because they would mean the planetary landing engine would already exist, which would be a massive amount of work and asets. From a game design perspective, to hide that much work from your player base would be a massive waste.CMDRs,
What if there is a single planet that is already "landable" since the 1.2 release?
But this could happen just if carrying an UA?
Soontill for example?
I explain it better: if you are carrying an UA you can land in one single planet.
The question is which one
It would also mean they could have demoed an actual landing at Gamescom. They didn't, ergo they can't.
They are working on it since the beginning
Perhaps it is just an "easy" version, a kind of demo of the Planetary Landing, that I'm sure they already have since then...
