You're the best
I wonder if the lights blink based on "illicit " status or not. Does the fish blink the same as the other canisters? This is rather interesting
Both the polymers and the fish were both done with 'Jettison', not 'Jettison Abandon'. However, just tested with Jettison (Abandon) on the Polymers, and this again gave more four white flashing lights, all on, all off. So the red center light and the 'code flashing' of the UA video don't seem to be reproducable with just fish and biowaste.

Valid point. I also checked the lights along the side of the cannister in that video and those didn't seem affected by the 'cloud'. But very possible that it is just a distortion.
Repeating this in case it was missed.
And use the SAME canister. Maybe canisters only do the light code thing in presence of a UA.
Anyone got an onionhead canister?

Let's get Soontill and AI Relics in that test aswell
So has anybody tried getting shot with the death beam from a UA?

Has anyone looked at the possibility that the "Morse Code" is Binary? Also the "Whale Sound" sounds like extremely slowed speech. The other sounds could be radio or shortwave? just some thoughts. CETI,when it sent greetings out,they used mathematical code derived from pulsars. If these things have all ready been looked at, I apologize. If anyone is interested heres the CETI Wiki....they do this stuff for a living. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_with_extraterrestrial_intelligence
The morse code is, as far as we know... morse code. It is the name of the nearest object in space, kind of like the Nav Beacon does, but slightly stylized.
However, there has not yet been a determination what the 'Whale sound' is or the 'Purrs', so any good idea is welcome. Do check the sound analysis thread on the forum though, a lot of speculation and analysis might already have been done.

Yes the beam of light that comes out the head/top when it dies from exposure to space?
It appears to be a graphical glitch rather than a beam of light.
Yes that is a good test to perform. However I think that if they hidden any message in those lights it would only be visible though the field of distortion (I could be very wrong though). It would almost feels like the UA is trying to communicate by hijacking other simpler tech wirelessly. Looking at the video the frequency of the "communication" is going down as the time progresses. It could also again be an effect of the distortion.
oh ok had missed that tidbit of info
Still working on my "Quest for Raxxla",
i'm a bit lost...
I counted every letter in the fabled "Raxxla" and substituted the name with the number of position:
R A X X L A
18 1 24 24 12 1
Now astrologers do not use an X/Y/Z coordinate-system,
and i highly doubt, that a three or four digit relative position in each axis is enough to
navigate the galaxymap of E: D.
But they use another system consiting of three values per variable to locate an object,
the "Right ascension", short RA and the declination, short dec.
In this system the name Raxxla and the allocated numbers indicate a position at:
RA 18h 1min 24sec
dec +/-24° 12' 1"
My google skills however do not yield a result in a named system,
can anyone point me on how to navigate to those 2 possible locations?
I am not sure even, if those coordinates take the earth as the origin or maybe SagA*?
Any ideas?
The reason i post this, is because of FFE lore, there is a system with a "Hypergate" rumored to exist, and very hostile human military remnants guarding it.
Maybe you got the key and i got a trace?
I do rule out Polaris out as an option, simply because lacking accessability,
and some UA owners already tried going there with no success (maybe due to a bug?).
Edit:
I tinkered around with the "aladin" star atlas and found a star very close to the coordinates:
18 01 24.082 -24 12 2.26
In the positive "spectrum" or what you call it is a very bright white star close to the coordinates,
which too might be a suitable target (like Polaris is a very bright F-Type).

Firstly, I'm not going to suggest for you to destroy your ship and your UA.
But I was trawling Reddit earlier and came across this comment:
So I know we've been all through bacteriophage stuff, but it's the reference to the core that perked my interest, as well as this on another thread:
So, it's the core that injects the host cell in bacteriophages. And SAP8 contains a core crystal, containing data. And our UA has those machined ends to the limbs and at the bottom of the core piece in the centre.
Maybe holding spikes come out of those limb ends and an injecting spike from the core piece and it injects data (equivalent to injecting DNA/RNA as a real phage does) into a machine host.
So maybe there's a good reason to destructively test letting a ship corrode all the way just to see if data gets injected in, perhaps updating the nav computer. Difficulty is that the cargo hatch would let loose the UA
Anyway, best done with a AU pre-agreed for destructive testing, and a sidewinder.

I have done some analysis of the purrs and whale. If you speed them you can clearly hear the pitch changes as the time progresses. However I couldn't match the signal to anything meaningful. It almost sounded like musical notes, I haven't done anything music related in years so my memory is rusty. Slowing down one of the purrs again I cannot hear anything that would stand down as a code. The purr is fairly uniform in pitch.

I had a peek at Rauminens vids on YT.
Seems like the blinking patterns are caused by the UA distortion.
Someone with better eyesight and a analytical mind should look through those.
Brillant news do love a puzzle.
Time to rift up and get on a UA hunt me thinks, will let you know how it goes.
Now what system to search in...
Attaboy, I've been awaiting this test for ages. Be glad to be in the firing line if you get one.
