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.
Thank you for the forgiveness. That you were able to get another UA makes things a little easier to stomach.
Shall I put you down for 6t of female Imperial Slaves as compensation, the same as I owe nilreb? ;)

awesome news CMDR! We love you!
 
Have you ever wondered if maybe one of us is an undercover Dev who wants to push us onto the right track?^^
Good to hear that there is one more again :)

I've wondered this a few times, too ;) - but then, when you're chasing the shadows of ghosts, you tend to see things out of the corner of your eye...
 
You know there's another thread on the main page detailing a 416 Ly away from inhabited space, interdiction situation happening. It makes me wonder if it's not a bug, but part of the u.a mystery. What if he had the u.a? maybe the interdiction defaults to a pirate because you don't have one but if you did it would spawn something else. The bug being the small percentage chance, landing but finding no u.a to initiate the "thargoid" encounter...

Also it's more than a hunch, in the same kerrash convo about the diamondback etc he says something about commanders being interdicted very far and he giggles about it raising his eyebrows, before talking about thargoids...

(Then his hands spelt out "illuminate" and he winked. AT ME. Tin foil jet fuel :) )

They are rare these days, but interdictions tend to happen roughly 500 ly from inhabited space. Signal sources still spawn in around 800 ly, but rarely.
If an interdiction were related to the UA, I'd guess that the target would get a special line from the NPC. (You know, like the "military interdiction in progress" or "you don't belong here" chatter.) But given how many people travelled around systems with an UA, I'm fairly certain that there are no unique interdictions targeted at them. Maybe in only in some special area that nobody has been to yet.

where exactly does he mention that?
 
The core? :) I know it's a tall order but it's an untested theory right?

That same YouTube video I linked earlier, sorry I'm on phone so can't get it but I've only posted 10-11 times so check my previous posts,

It's 20 mins long and he and the other guy seem to be teasing ua throughout

How the.....

The amount of time I've spent, 10-15 hours just yesterday, probably the same today, every day this week and the weeks before, and you can just pick one up in 5 hours.

Sorry, congrats, it's good news, but man, this game is killing me.

Just got blown away by a CMDR at Shinrarta Dezhra.
I was already heavily damaged from UA decay, and shield generator was turned off to power the AFMU.
I got hit by what I think was a rail gun 4 times.

Sorry folks, we're back down to 1 UA.

Sorry to hear this, but equally as glad another has turned up. I would highly recommend Mobius or Solo as well, and glad Ratking and Wish blend have been taking precautions. You can be sure that we, like the Fuel Rats, have drawn the wrong sort of attention to ourselves and some of the griefers out there would like nothing better than to pwn a UA lolz.

I joined Mobius last night before going to bed. Just waiting for the the request to go through.

Man, if Zoltan is the FD plant we will have to hunt him down and kill him for not giving us better hints about 20,000 posts ago. <joking/>

I thought it was Drew until all that went to heck, now I just blame Kerrash.

Edit: Actually not quite 13,000 posts, but it will be 20,000 soon I am sure.

I'm reserving post 19,999 by now, for me to finally unveil the UA mystery...

I know, this is crazy. Everyone else has spent thousands of hours trying to get one of these, and he just casually picks up another one. There must be something he is doing differently...

FD is a secret military organisation who wants to prepare us for future combat!
and HE is secretly a Thargoid working for FD to prepare us for the first contact in reallife!

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!
Oh only when I have the last UA, I become important? Not that this is back from the initional rush of UA's? Also I know and I do not move around in anycase without someone on my back or front bumper unless it's a short distance and not very player active area.

o_O that was fast..........there's still people who haven't finished saying about losing it and you've gotten another one......

Why are you waiting though? Not sure?
