I see about 1 SSS per 5 mins, got bored grabbed a Hafnium 178 just for practice :)

Edit: Saw something interesting;jumped to a USS and saw the standard 2 Anaconda/1 T9 convoy (Battle/Personal weapons), did not expect that.

Get some trinkets. I find that I get the same type of signal sources in a row when I have them on board. (eg I go into a SSS, the rest will be mostly strong as well)
This is just a "feeling" though. I don't have hard data.

Worst case at least you feel like you've done something extra, so you feel special, and less inclined to give up ;)

Which "technique" did you use, waiting, following, shooting etc.?

I've seen a few recently, they usually get attacked by pirates after a few minutes
I'm in Timocani now for a bit of hunting

Smash'nGrab'nRun'n :)

It was a 2 Anaconda, 1 T9 with 3 Vultures & 1 Dropship convoy. Waited to the Vultures & Dropship jumped, then attacked the T9, basically ignoring the 2 Anaconda's using chaff's and SCB's...

Edit: When in unpopulated systems, I attack immediately as the 'seconday' convoy ignores the attack.

@Macros: Thought you'd possibly been having some fun -noticed you'd lost a single shield ring when you popped back into supercruise. I'd say this 'ignore the Condas' technique works for you ;-)

Chapeau, sir.

But I have to start with the fact that I can't really hear what Rizal does in his cleared up background recording, for my ears it's just white noise.... so, feel free to send me to some warmer place.

Here's a flute rendition of that repeating audio done a while back. =p

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_Ozdb8mTFWzdnA5RW9YRVFRSjg

It's hard to notice but it's there in this bit of audio : https://soundcloud.com/riccardo-sallusti/ua-4th-sound-isolated

Listen, think high pitched almost penny whistle but even higher, and subtle, in the background. Almost on the edge of high-pitched audible.

For me, it just seems like a side-effect of the harmonics (or something, I am not technical with music) that Frontier has added. It doesn't seem like being morse-like to me, if can be interpreted to anything I hear it as a short tune.

Has this been heard before? Can someone link me to the investigation regards to it?

Aye, they've been called "inbetween purrs" (just cos they appear inbetween purrs) or interstitial sounds.

People have looked at them but I think the general feeling has been they're just random sounds without any meaning. You might be able to find something though. :)

AhAh! I remember it very well.
And after some listening, I've pointed out that it sounds like Debussy's Claire De Lune, if you remember :D
Still waiting for someone to take the UA to the Moon and deploy it there, BTW ;)

Yeah I remember!

I think other people (with more music talent than me) interpreted it differently though, and with different notes.

Why the moon?

Those were exactly my thoughts to be honest. Harmonics; or just a bit of selective distortion cause by the mixing of two sounds with similar frequencies at reasonably high volume before being mixed by the sound engine.

This explanation gets my vote. Can't rept you any more, tho.

On behalf of the different sounds you guys heard at "SLEIPNIR"-System:

I guess you guys checked out all the systems called after mythological beasts?
The scarab seems to be a lead, is there a stellar constellation featuring something beetle like,
apart from the mentioned system with the "Horizons" station?
Maybe the UA just was included so the community finds out of the Horizons-Expansion
before the proclamation at Gamescom?

List is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RWiafkxG7Ryq3gUTi4PFBAlGZhQFH8zcE8vr729VQVA/edit?usp=sharing

It doesn't have coordinates yet, I'll add that tomorrow. Just need to figure out the FFE scheme again. The "Sectors from Sol" column is the distance of the sector the system is in from sector [0, 0]. "Mentions" is the number of journal stories the system was mentioned in. There will be false positives, e.g. "Source" appear in the journals might not mean the system, "Rigel" is only mentioned as part of "Rigelian", etc. Also any misspelt system names won't have been found obviously (i.e. Ayethti, at least). Also, some systems haven't been found in ED due to spelling or capitalisation differences, e.g. Eta Cassiopeia which is now Eta Cassiopeiae.

I wonder if this list gives an indication of which FFE storylines are canon and which FD have discarded. Or is there another reason these systems have not been bought over?

Fantastic work - will try to take a more detailed look at this tonight or on the weekend. Out of rep, as usual.

Jacksons lighthouse is a pulsar type star. It plays a significant role in the book Elite : Wanted by Gavin Deas.
There is no specific link to thargoids, alien artifacts, the disappearance of any large ships in the book from what i can recall.

I think TheSpaceTexan was way ahead of his time on this one. Not sure if he had a UA when he went, but he certainly checked out the system quite thoroughly, as did I at one point (without a UA but with Soontill Relics in the hold). Nothing of interest back then anyways (1.2 ish).

Edit: And perhaps even more disappointingly, the pulsar doesn't do anything, let alone anything like what it does in the story. Nor do any other pulsars I visited during the whole EB, P madness, including the binary pulsars. Including one that was 6K LY away from where I was at the time. Not that I am bitter Drew.
