The UA Scares me...

I have one in my hold... but what scares me is... im reading the discussions about it and its 04:23 in the UK right now... problem is it makes it more erie to continue to read.... like i have a feeling were getting VERY close to finding out what it is. Anyone else?
 
Nothing to be afraid of.

Whatever is (or rather is not yet) out there is nothing compared to the crazy/psychopathic humanoid "civilization".
Chances are, any Alien race would be hell-bent on making the 500LY bubble around SOL a quarantine zone and simply consider us a very dangerous biohazard.

And what it is we already know since months...
...a desparate, cheap placeholder to send Players off into maximum-length/effort Ghost Chases... to gain time until Frontier has the resources to start implementing Alien assets for a new major Version in the future :D
Given that their Nano-Teaser produced quite a stir, leading to a Thread exceeding 10000 Posts, causing Players to repeatedly risk & loose everything and invest insane amounts of time... Frontier learned that they can easily get away with that method. Thus I can't blame them for continuing it (see SAP8 and ELITE-Rank Bulletin Missions - all leading to precisely... nothing)

At the very best... I'm sure there IS some non-celestial object to be found somewhere. But it'll be just that. Some oddball object somewhere in one of 400 Billion Systems and we won't be able to do anything but look at it and go all crazy about it.


Repped for the "quarantine" comment.
Made me smile.
:)
 
Thanks Falcon, I always wanted to ask the people who were working on it if they realised that was most likely the outcome, but I didn't want to dash their dreams when they were working so hard on it. I'd love to have participated but my faith is so low I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if there was an intergalactic space-poop at the end of their hundreds of hours of work :/

Get docked somewhere with it ASAP, and keep your ship repaired! Don't lose it, and get on over to the party at https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&page=16

Well done CMDR!

I think that if this game didn't have any content then people would be tempted to imagine their own.

Oh look, that's what happened.

Making this comment on another thread earned me a forum infraction.

Or they could be so bored and frustrated the only solace they can find is trolling.....I've seen it happen.

Hope you're well Deadlock :)

Fine thanks. Just imagining that the noise my CPU fan makes is a secret code to a website address where I'll get a refund for this car crash.

UA aside I actually like the game, but then I'm comparing it to the original which was "sparse" to say the least.
 
OP, did you find this recently? Do you remember in which system it was?

There's a reward being offered here : https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&page=17&p=2501166&posted=1#post2501166 if you want to get rid.

Just be aware once you launch this item will (or at least it did with the last one found) continually degrade your modules untill you explode. If you want to keep hold get yourself some auto-maintenance modules to repair the damage.

But it had tribbles!

I want tribbles!

Unless of course that's what was happening with the UAs multipying....

They are called Trumbles and they still exist, if only in the lore.

From Drew Wagars descripyion of Lady Kahina: "She was described as cold and aloof, and reputed to have a sharp and cutting wit. Her only weakness seemed to be a fondness for trumbles."

Regarding the UA. I think the fact that it morses the name of the nearest celestial objec is quite cool. It only gets a bit meh when compared to the time it took to decode it. It's not FDs fault that we are a bit thick :)
 
If you give this ua to an person willing to do tests with it il pay you 100 t of palladium(to you or one of your friends who need it more)
 
OP, if you want rid of it don't go for the meaningless Palladium offers, insist on 100t of Painite...make them work for it! They'll even go for it, trust me...Muhahahaha :)
