Legees hmm. Must check.

Context? As in "must check with the UA, looking for colors/sound"? Or "I must check Legees to see if I can find a WSS/SSS & a UA of my own"?

- - - Updated - - -

Has anyone tried using the UA to access Witch's Reach? Something interesting I noticed about the system is that it says "Access to this system has been denied" instead of saying something like when you try to jump to Beta Hydri where it says "A special traders permit available from the federation authorities is needed to visit this system". Also, maybe instead of carrying the UA with you to these systems, maybe you need them to be outside the ship, that way the UA scrambles your nav computer's check if it's able to jump so it just does it anyway.

I can look/try tonight.

Nice! I'm trying to find my own so I can help the search! And I haven't ever seen one IRL :D
 
It's a few pages back now, but

It is my sad duty to report due to heavy testing and a mistake on my part, my unknown artefact has been lost.

I had completed colour test 3 and had just gone to colour test 4's location when I mistakenly jettisoned the ua into super cruise thinking I was in normal space.

I am sorry I have let you all down.
Absolutely nothing to be sorry for, you've been an outright legend :) You gave me almost all the samples I needed to complete the chittering alphabet and have contributed a tonne of good ideas to this thread! (and I'm sure you'll still have more!)

In fact, I'm pretty sure I know what message your UA is emitting now :D

I must check it. It is quite silly. Don't go unless you don't have anything sensible to do. I will explain when I can log in.

Hi Guys,

I am sorry I have let you all down.

Here are my results for test 3.

I moved to a fresh area in normal space for each drop and scan.

For each drop and scan I pointed my ship at the same point in the sky every time.

Don't worry. We know there are more out there.
If I ever find one, you can have it (if you want it).
Good luck getting to Baron. You are allready a legend of the Canonn.
 
I will see you all there when I start hunting for a replacement one.

Must remember to activate the sub module called:-

UA Whistle.

Ooo a special whistle, I gotta go get me one of those too!

Anyway, onwards and upwards Wishblend - am joining the chorus of the Canonn members saying that you've let no-one down here :D
 
The LEGEES theory (it's silly):

I was studying Wishblends P/G puls data and was "convinced" that a higer Y coordinate gave a very good effect on the green ratio.

So the idea was higher is better. Maybe all the way up to the old worlds. I check gal.map and there it is. Stright up from Lave.

Legees. The home of the "Large Bug-Eyed Lizards".

The UA is Large Bug-Eyed and "Lizardy", isn't it?

Well, the system turns out to be dull. No life. Then again it was known for its exotic night life but ravaged by frequent earthquakes. The planets are volcanic.

IMO, there are no silly theories. I think we're momentarily at a dead end (unless we get different Morse back from the UA than the system, it goes crazy with green, something comes from the pulse analysis or we find a crucial bit of lore). Edit: I'd welcome being corrected on this.

If/when I head back that way, I'd be happy to check Legees.

Watch out for the giant space monsters ;-)

We do need to keep the ideas comming, no idea is wrong till it has been well tested.

What was the system Starship one was jumping out of when it blew up? Anyone take a UA there? If my personal theory is correct that SS1 had a UA on board that cuased it to blow up, something may happen either in this system or the target of the jump. A list of the systems for Halsey's visit was published on Galnet. Perhaps one of these is key? What's his name (sorry for not remembering your name but I dont feel like going back and looking for it) popped in said there were already clues in game, and that they were obvious. Perhaps this list is where we should start over (I'd start searching them myself but I'm going to be away for the next couple weeks). Maybe theres some news at one of the stations, or maybe the planets themselves hold some clue. Either the clues are so obvious we've missed them for being right in our face, or as a group we've touched on them but not made the proper connections.
-
this is likely a dumb question, I know theers a group out there checking prices but did anyone yet sell a UA to the black market?
-
Also no one's heard anything about Senator Loren since she outfitted her ship and based on the lack of any coverage I assume she's disappeared off into the black looking for something. If her story is intertwined with the UA as many beleive, perhaps this is significant.
-
I'll throw this out too. About 99% of the theories offered so far involved doing something with the UA trying to provoke a response out of it. Perhaps the UA is not where we should be looking. Perhaps the UA triggers an event elsewhere, such as making something become visible that previously we couldn't see...

The short answer is: We don't know what system she was in when they started the jump. The only I could glean from GalNet is that Halsey was expected in Saga, but had detoured to Azaleach (reason classified). I took the UA to Azaleach twice (trip out & back). Nothing crazy happened, no jump failures, no POIs, no weird sounds, no missions. The only upshot is the sale price on Azaleach's black market is the least we've seen anywhere. (source: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&page=24&p=2503918#post2503918, video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2xM5o7YyqM within the first 10 minutes)

I'm not selling mine until we're out of ideas, have given up and as a final experiment to see if anything happens. "I and I Redeye" (from the old thread) said he/she'd found a couple UAs in Timocani, thought nothing of them & sold. Never looked to closely at them before scooping & selling.

<RP>KAHINA FOR EMPRESS!!!</RP> Spoilers follow...

Truth be told, I've read Reclamation (where she & the Prism system are from). She's likely headed to the Formidine Rift, since she hears about it from an elderly Elite pilot & loves space/exploration. The book gives more details: "edge of the galactic arm", "draw a line from Reorte to Riedquat & keep on going" & "Let's just say there was some serious out there...<snip>...and they thought the Thargoids were trouble...". (Source: Loc 2797 of the Kindle ebook)

In between halfway through the old thread & the start of this one, I was trying to find a way across the Rift & document it for others to follow. I got as far as the edge of the arm & stopped. Needless to say, I don't think I'm making it even that far with this thing onboard. We're talking 1,000s of Ly just to make it out there, not many stars to scoop from/jump between & the UA eats 5% of my ship every 100Ly.

This last bit - "Perhaps the UA triggers an event..." - is what I'm expecting. I'm guessing the UA directs us to something we might not have seen & acts as a key. If it's just flavor text or a mission at a station, I might be slightly disappointed. But that's a guess & I have no way to prove that until it happens or we solve this.

I've tried to look into the route Hasley took with her ship,,, i figured it could be connected ,, had she aquired a artifact onboard that could have accounted for a malfunction of the drive or something else. either the corrosive effect or something happened with the artifact onboard. From what i have gathered, although cannot confirm .. along the route acording to what was published, 78 ursae majoris must have happened although not sure if it was actually sighted.
The prep for counter pirates CG against sobek boys was underway,, and went by,. toxic waste was dumped, unknown message against arcannon was broadcast,, ( i suspect from Hasley or unknown federation power , to have access to coms. )
From here on there were two or three other CG's some speculated were a distraction. Medical runs, and two battle CG's
No updates i heard about about if Hasley visited or went along her proposed route,.,, although i would imagine this did happen else the news reports would have noticed.
The first sign of trouble was her delayed appearance then canceled for detour from Saga.
along with the hesitant reports from Feds, and then the almost too quick stardrive malfunction was a cover no doubt. The 'Detour' to Azaleach i doubt was genuine,, another cover story,, but with the reports of a search area of 200lys about that area,,
Somewhere in the area she did journey,, but clues are hard,, similar to the UA's they appear in regions of space.. along with many other clues,, there is a definate area,, but it needs narrowing down.
Route as of Wed,13 may 2015
Hip 53688 > Tinia > Aleumoxii > 78 Ursae Majoris > Dietri > Su > Furuhjelm I-645 > Saga > Delphin > Nanomam > Coriccha > Ross 860

Hopeful soon clues come together,

Legis. The home of the "Large Bug-Eyed Lizards".

The UA is Large Bug-Eyed and "Lizardy", isn't it?

Odd, when I look at Legees in the Galaxy Map, I see no mention of "Large Bug-Eyed Lizards", in the info pane or on any of the detail pane for each body/station in the system. And I don't find Legis at all?

Tried this tonight, no dice. - https://youtu.be/9ocJb-oZZlo. I don't have the permit, so that may be part of the problem. But I thought Witch's Reach was one of the systems we couldn't get a permit in right now?

- - - Updated - - -

From the coordinates in the spread sheet, Im thinking positive Y coordinate as well. Maybe a 120:0:80 to 130:40:90 area.

Checking the Galaxy Map, I get systems like Oromecani & Nanata. Do those look right?
 
I did a recording in Exphiay tonight - https://youtu.be/3guUIfYeQL0 (haven't counted the green/purple angle yet).

I also did a recording of the outfitting (can't find the source comment a few pages back) - https://youtu.be/iLomc-hLtq4

I then jumped (200+Ly) to Faroras to try to duplicate Wishblend's green/purple results. I dropped it twice & recorded both for Zenith's calculations. I'll have a recording up shortly.

Hm, I made the mistake of assuming it was the jump to Azaleach itself. Naturally, I was disappointed when the jump in did nothing. I didn't think to try to plot out her route, but that would be an obvious lore bit. Barring other things to test, I may try to jump back out that way & poke around with the UA. At the very least, I could also get some green/purple tests there as well.
 
This has probably been tried at least 5000 times but I don't remember seeing it - has anyone tried communicating with a UA? and if so, do its sounds/colors change?
 
That's my UA-Hunter:
http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=70N,5T...Sk4_w03w2UI2jw

I can collect bounties while hunting, but also have all necessary scanners on board. I can travel with it pretty comfortably. And it's fairly cheap. (Even more so if you buy everything in Li Yong-Ruis territory.)

I had one like that. It was nice. I had to sell it because my character "CMDR Han Zen" have some authority issues.
After Hudson became president, there is no more Core Dynamics for me :-/

You can't chat to it directly, and it doesn't respond to local chat. There certainly hasn't been any obvious change in sounds/colours after local chat, though I'm not sure anyone has done any systematic testing (that'd be hard though since we'd presumably have to say the right thing to get a response).
