Good stuff, congrats!
Great! Congrats, this is good news indeed.
Congrats guys!
Yesssssssssssssss!
This. I actually gave up checking SSS and headed out in the Black some time ago instead, as I found it far too frustrating. And as Zoltan said the probability that the solution was suggested and got buried under the noise of various theories is quite high. Speaking of, and I am completely grasping here, but in addition to Zoltan's Soontill suggestion, or the Voyager search, have we taken one to Sirius? Maybe if we get a couple of new finds someone might be willing to try selling one there?

Haha! Good work all!
Apolgies if it's been tried before, I recall no mention on the Wiki: With all the theories about relation to the virus (and existing "alien" lore), has any human experimentation been done? Keep it and some slaves in your hold, fly around, sell the slaves off and see what happens, that sort of thing?
Does anyone have a video of Voyager 1 or Voyager 2 with the complete in-game sound loop of the "greetings" message? I recall from when I visited them some months ago that it was in multiple languages, but IIRC it did not have Morse code on the in-game message? Can someone confirm that? If it did, it might give more credence to the UA message changing if it is brought into proximity of one of the probes. I know Morse (and whale, etc.) was on the golden disc, but do we know if either of them played in-game?
Also, I have been checking the Pioneer series of probes, but it seems most of them, if not all of them, are believed to have gone dead, and Pioneer 10 and 11 were the only ones to achieve solar system escape velocity. (they also had the golden plaques, or an early version of it, but not/not the golden disc with the sounds) . Has anyone ever tried to find Pioneer 10/11 in-game? Are there any other early space probes that might have had Morse transmissions, or other early Morse transmissions that might be relevant? The damn thing had to learn Morse somehow.

With a UA in the bag from Biscuit Barrel, I'm not getting strung up from the nearest Scientific Outpost transmitter pylon, it seems. So. Very. Glad.
Great work.
Fish hint and airless world hint.
Ice moon with water under ice. Europa and Titan should be tested.
Fish hint I understand, but airless world hint?
UA is supposedly link to the Horizon expansion which is mainly aimed at planetary landings on worlds with no atmosphere. This was derive from the gamescom stream. It could be a red herring. May be the community team been told to keep us chasing up the wrong path until they add the next part of the puzzle

All they said was the story would continue to "evolve" at some point in the Horizons season. That does not mean it is necessarily linked to a planetary landing. They also strongly hinted (again) that there was still something to find now, but that they might have to reveal it if we don't discover it before Horizons launches.
Just been having another thinking session - dangerous, I know.
Seems to me that the UA doesn't interact with anything other than rot ships from the inside and transmit morse/make sounds. The hints, "have you listened to them?" and "not everyone will get it" suggest to me that it's the morse we should focus on (only morse literati will get it - i.e. not solve the puzzle, but recognise that there's morse)
Given the thought that we may already have glossed over the answer, I suggest we focus on ONE thing at a time, and for now that should be the morse.
So the UA spits out the morse for the nearest celestial body. What if there is no celestial body for a very long way, what does it do then? What do two or more in the same instance do - do they morse the same thing?
The other hint from MB was that they are only found in certain regions of the galaxy. That's regions in the plural. So far, they're all in the human bubble. Perhaps there's some more in another region, and when those are found something will become clearer? The morse points to the idea that these things are navigational tools somehow. Random thought: has anyone tried fitting it in outfitting?
It's come up many times that the UA may be used to locate a hidden planet/system/area. I don't think we're supposed to just take off searching the galaxy with the thing (too many systems to search that way while the UA rots your hull). But maybe there's a cleverer way to do it?
The wings mechanic came at the same time as the UA in the game, and I feel that's connected - we're supposed to use the wings mechanic for this. What happens if 2 or more UA holders are in a wing but separated by many light years - maybe the UA facilitates huge jumps when used in this way?
The difficulty is that we're all theorising in a random way. I like that this is not hierarchical and there is scope and power in that randomness for us to gather a lot of ideas, which we have done. We've also organised ourselves and built the wiki. Somehow we need to take that massive ideas gathering and focus it, co-ordinate it. Again, I think we should narrow our enquiries and experiments to one at a time. Many minds on one thing, rinse and repeat. And I suggest the first thing be the sound, the morse (I know we've looked at this a lot and everyone has done fantastic work on it - maybe we've just missed something)

Brilliant news - well done!
