Right, I forgot about the shields.

Back On Topic: Another hint to solve this Mystery would be damn helpfull. Braben stated that we "where close once" to solve this puzzle. It would be cool to know if he was referring to a location, cause the Morse-Code which spells the "Real" Name of the nearest Celestial Object is maybe more functional than we might think.

IMHO there is no trigger other than the location, I can't think of a method (speacial interaction or commodity) that could trigger the UA.

The Wiki doesn't mention David Braben saying that, was it in a video or on the forum? Just want some context around it really.
 
My last couple of posts has been referring the tiny "in-between sounds", not the purrs. But yes i understand the problem and your io video is one of my favorites :)
The same problem would also apply to the "in-between sounds" if they are produced the same way and "muted" during the chittering, but I'm not sure they are. They are not as rhythmic/regular as the purrs.

Oh I missed this post. Yes. They doesn't seem to occur at the same time as the morse, and also very audible on the vids where the background sound is missing (and there are a low number of normal purrs)

DB actually said we were close once? When was that?

Also I'm not sure this test has been done but has it been tried to go on a rapid fire hyperspace trip? Meaning it doesn't matter where you go per se, as long as you keep jumping on to a next location? I'm trying to see if the UA needs somehow to be exposed to witchspace. I think this obviously because of the Thargoid connection and maybe because the UA might need to reach X amount of witchspace exposure or system jumps to do the next thing, plus it's been said before that it looks as if its phased into witchspace with the blue blur etc.
 
Sorry if somebody already posted it:

Aliens Kidnapped the President

The spectre of President Halsey’s disappearance in Starship One refuses to die down. Despite the findings of the official report some claim that the matter is far from closed. One such person is self-proclaimed conspiracy expert Ricardo Bentonio on his investigative show ‘The Hidden World’:


“They took her for their own purposes. Not the lizard people from Andromeda, that’s the Imperial Dynasty. She’s been taken somewhere different.”


Federal Navy officials refused to comment on this allegation. One Congressman was overheard joking “Does anyone listen to that loon’s shows? Except his precious lizard people from Andromeda, of course!”

-- update --

I may be wrong I don't think they have been well analysed as you say, it's just people have seen and looked at them and I think generally they think there's nothing much to them and attention goes elsewhere. All I can tell you about them is that there appears to be 3 or so variations, ie they are not dynamic as such like the morse, more they are one of a small set of types, like each honk/wail is from a set of two types, or the purrs are one of a set of two types.

Are you guys talking about this kinda sound? I stopped trying to analyze them as I think you're right, they don't seem to be dynamic like the morse.


EDIT: Damn, sorry about the double post...

Impact on the Type 9's shields would be only meters from the Bridge

You cannot tell me, that any conscious pilot,
would not be able to avoid a landing T9.

It is clear that this is an assassination, but it happened before the collision.
The corpses just were dumped in an automatically launching ship.
Old trick in the book... Try to get rid of the bodies in an accident, hoping
to get rid of any clues leading to the murderer.

Well "Sleipnir" was checked and yielded another behaviour of the UA,
i don't find any footage on pilots with UAs checking the moons in that system, if there are any.
(Have no galmap data on Sleipnir)

There are forum threads that suggest otherwise ;)

But but but.... I can hear distinct lows and highs. I'm really not sure how this should show on a visual representation, but it's certainly audible, and for me it's 2 broad categories.

Sorry, yes they are distinct. It was my first thought as well and I have tried to categorize them as you suggest but in the end I was left with 2-3 of them that I could not fit in any category.

Imagine having the sounds of a different birds chirping but also the sound of a man screaming and a planecrash. How would you construct two categories so that all of the sounds could only be assigned to one of them. :p

Its just how I feel about it, keep listening ;)
 
True, but as we all know,
the victims were federal officers.
Those guys are more afraid of disciplinary fines
for speeding and crashing, than of selling other's souls...

And I have dealt with insurance claims where the Police have failed to giveaway and hit civilian traffic, whilst on lunch break, a simple lapse of focus.
All I am saying is Yes it could be an assassination, but it is possible it was an accident also.

The problem is we seem to jump at every Galnet news Item thinking it must be a clue for us, Even if an assassination

As it now seems here is now working again a little contribution from the "not so easy to manage long runs for many CMDR's" section:

#1 California Nebula check (incl. CALIFORNIA SECTOR HW-W C1-7) --> watch Wiki

#2 End off the NGC 1333 road (after California Nebula check):
https://www.dropbox.com/l/DjtSqfOcoSS7F8unoUWXQo 84MB
Target was: from where came the UA in Wings 1.2 Trailer? (watch galactic map ...:D)

#3 Regor (UA gives no permit yet):
https://www.dropbox.com/l/UKeNL1Si01YG2Y6MyJHuSn 81MB
Notice: "fireplace sizzling noise" after shut down thrusters
______ CMDR Zeniths test near Polaris: "A JUMP LOCK TO THIS SYSTEM HAS BEEN DENIED"
______ REGOR: "UNABLE TO HYPERSPACE TO THIS SYSTEM"

We salute you!

I's the Dolphin chirping like sound we've already heard in mrTree video, when he kept himself at some distance from the UA.
The same sound is audible in the Sleipnir-like videos, where no BG sound is present.
It's a sound that marks the beginning and the end of the chittering morse, and it is present also "over" it, like a kind of counter.

BTW, CMDRs, I have an hint for you:

The Purrs are completely RUNTIME generated. Even the sound of them. And I stop here.

I would really like to do the Wing test around the UA, with 4 CMDRs very close (5 would be better, I repeat it...), to reproduce CMDR DelMonte and Sleipnir unique behaviour, but it seems no one of the UA bearer is interested... even if it is the easiest test in the world.
And so, we stay here, throwing theories one on on top of the other, while we could do something useful and practical...

Ratking15? mrTree? Nick Powell?

I will be still at home, at your disposal, for this next coming night. Then I will leave again.

Yes that is a problem i guess, consistence in testing stuff.
I really like the idea of the mythological aspects being suggested here.

Sleipnir seems a good system (8 legs/ 8 dimensions/ fastest horse)
as well as the scarab (immortality/ came from the abyss).
Even those two "symbols" could stand for the "wheels" or the passages,
from a gate at sleipnir, to the "dark gate" at Nun.
The mythology is very rich on this and tested will be what the UA owners deem most worthy to.

One could even take mission names as hints,
like in "The Silent Song of the Spheres,
pointing out to S.S.S.es...
 
I started to concentrate on the fact, that UAs con only be found in certain regions of the galaxy.
So i decided to plot them in a coordinate system. I wrote a small java application for it.
Sourcecode:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxSvJ7WszQi1YnpxQ0pWa21pYnc/view?usp=sharing
Executable: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxSvJ7WszQi1TDZYUmtaSnRPdW8/view?usp=sharing
Download the zip and extract&start it. Right click shows labels.
If you want custom coordinates place the csv file from inside the jar right next to it.

Here's one picture of confirmed UA systems
View attachment 55369

Looks pretty symetric at the bottom part.
The only intersting thing i have found so far is, when i add the systems from the wings trailer (California Sector HW-W c1-7+ Leonard Nimoy) I can see the bast is inside the connection line.

1: That is not a fact.

2: We don't have nearly enough data to decide if there is any correlation in where UA sightings have occurred.
 
Might >this< be a clue?

One case in real life, sure it's an accident. Two cases in this game, both of which involve authors of the SS1 report... I think not. Remember Galnet exists only to push ED's narrative along. If the authors' deaths had no consequence (because they were accidents) then they would never have been stories on Galnet. The only conclusion is that either these were assassinations or FD want us to think they were assassinations. The only puzzling part IMO is that there are no reports of these authors speaking out about SS1, so why kill them? It doesn't entirely make sense to me from a story point of view.

But I agree with what you in that it may not be a hint about the UA mystery. I'm still not convinced the UA and SS1 are linked.

It's the second story talking about a media personality/conspiracy theorist claiming or implying that SS1's disappearance was an alien abduction. I think there is a good chance it is a clue. Perhaps FD felt we didn't take the hint the first time.
 
Rizal

I'm going out again tonight and over the weekend

If we bag one do you have a trusted Cmd to leave it with ? BTW it will be called "Pandora" :)
