Player active?
Sorry - I don't understand what you mean.....
Does it have a lot of players then? As you said you got wasted near Alba 3.
he also said he was in Solo
Oh whoosp........... :s well I guess it was bad for me to do an all nighter...........it's now 5 ish....... ugggghhhh and yeah I think maybe Alba is off the table then......
I was in solo...didn't see any ships or signal sources near Alba 1 or Alba 2. Near Alba 3 I Saw a WSS (with an Eagle in it) And a USS with a couple of system ships and a couple of eagles. Then I got interdicted and killed. I hadn't bothered with weapons on my hauler and I couldn't outrun the attacker...
Alba 2 and Alba 3 are 29000LS away from Alba 1. No idea what anyone was doing out there, no stations, no rings, no asteroids. Hardly a place you would pass through on your way anywhere. Probably just random generation stuff.
Guys, has anyone tried feeding the UA with a SAP8?
If not, can someone do it already? Because quite frankly, what else is there for us to do?
Bear with me: We need to do something obvious. SAP8's interact with UAs. Kerrrash encouraged us when we were talking about them. There is a slot in the UA for something, and the SAP8s carry a crystal contained in a fusion reactor's contaiment field.
Can't we at least try this? Because, at this point, I'm 100% shure this is what needs to be done.

This wiki has the results of all test done so far - including the one you suggest.
http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_Artefact
It says that there were test with the SAP8 near the UA.
I'm saying we need to dock them togheter. As in, nudge the SAP8 Cannister into the UA's mouth.
That thing is clearly designed to open. The SAP8 carries something. Both interact with each other.
It has to be this.
Edit: This is how I think Frontier is seeing us right now.

I don't buy the ’connect it with something like Lego blocks' ideas personally, as the means to do so don't exist in game. Nudging things around with your ship is hardly dextrous enough to get the accuracy you'd need for this. It would be like trying to thread a needle from a distance using a remote controlled juggernaut.
And now we're down to one again, the risk* is off the scale, these things are way too hard to find to be fun anymore (for me personally, the challenge is not worth the reward anymore) but feel free to find one and try it out.
The only direct clues we have actually had is 'have you listened to them' and the Wings 1.2 Trailer, everything else has been second hand conjecture, to be honest. With the possible exception of Kerrash, who's hints are a bit too vague to be useful.
I have lots of respect for those of you still hunting, right on Commanders o7
* I wouldn't be carrying one of these in open personally, Mobius or solo would be my advice, but its up to you. PvP and UA is not a happy combination.

Thats one of two situations where i combat-log.
i wonder when they will finally fix this bug, its sometimes flickering so fast, that it looks like there are 2 vectors
Catastrophic news. No point crying over spilt milk......No sure it's owner would be so flippant though :/
Zenith - crap happens, really sorry to hear about this; don't feel bad.
Just highlights how dangerous ED can be, but in this case for the wrong reason. Engaging another player for the sake of it, in an unfair fight... Let's just say that's not how I'd want to be seen to be playing.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
I'm seriously considering cutting off my exploration jaunt to come back and hunt... Only have an, admittedly tanked up, Cobra mk3, though - which might be a challenge to hunt in. I'll have some decent exploration money upon return, but it won't be enough to jump up to a really good ship, unless I sell back the Asp. Was hoping to net at least 50mill with this trip, but based on my last trip (400-500 systems, whereas this one is only just above 300), reckon I've only got about 12.5m at the moment.
Either way, the only way we're going to replace this UA and get more is to encourage more and more people to hunt. If there's a 1/1000 chance (for example) of an SSS dishing up the convoy - one commander is going to hunt a long time before getting a new one!
Ratking15: I don't think you should be going anywhere without both a wing and an unofficial escort of another 20+ ships!
You've suddenly become a very important player to a lot of people!
And the ASV Oasis was looking so good, too!
Bifrost continuing hunt in 109 Virginis. Halfway though first of four (or five...) 2hr Open shifts planned for today.
Best of luck to all those hunting.

My fellow mad scientists, it took 5 hours of hunting (which is way better than the previous heap of time it took). But we're back in business & Zenith is forgiven. Just don't ask me to loan it.
Edit: For clarity, this is a brand-new UA, nabbed from the hold of one of our dear Federation friends. Standard T-9 escort in Timocani, was starting to jump so I pounced.

Sad to hear that one UA was lost.
The killer probably had no idea what he did.
I will outfit a raming Vulture next week, to test if that is a valid approach.
I hope we get the chance to do tests near a "New California" and near "Topaz in Ayethi".
Be careful out there Ratking15.

What IS your secret? I searched for 12 fruitless, joyless, mind numbing hours in the same system.Nothing.
Makes me wonder if the limited number theory isn't so mad after all...
Legendary stuff CMDR Branch, just legendary,
