UA Mystery thread 4 - The Canonn

Not sure it's practical having a KOS order for anyone carrying UAs, considering that's what we were set up to study. I could see two Canonn pilots scooping up UAs, then turning on each other in a bloody dogfight. Good job we don't have multi-crew yet, or we'd be throttling each other in the cabin.. I was joking about the UAs effecting people too... now I'm not so sure..
Anyway, keeping with our long-standing tradition of seeing patterns and finding links where there are none.. I saw the below and my first thought was - that looks like a UA docking port. And on a scientific outpost, no less.
I'm starting to hope the aliens attack soon, so this puzzle which may-or-may-not still be a puzzle will go away. If it's still here. If it ever was here.

You mean you don't hear the UA when the computer is off?
I clearly heard it in the other room....
I actually did the diff checker yesterday looking for any hidden clues. Didn't find anything. Since then, I've further inspected my tinfoil and noticed that there were microperferations. I think I'm being tampered with...
So, i did a bit of digging, tinfoiling around my idea.
Here's a google spreadsheet that summarize Galnet reports of Stations malfunctions, services shutting down with dates and durations.
The fastest shut down was Korolyov Hub in ARAWERE who was shut down in 7 days only.
Bond hub has been infected for 39days according to Galnet.
However, i don't see any clear pattern other than some systems being announced as malfunctionning in groups...

Computer? What computer?
It freaks me out when the voices in my head start talking silly..
I just purchased a major stake in an aluminum mine because....
ARAWERE
that name there has to be some kind of message, seriously.
...I see "free floaters" every morning... but that's another story
+REP
Arawere is one of the latest systems to be infected, after the UA sell price increase, after our Educating ED stream, and all the Reddit psycho-hype about selling UA to kill stations.
It is clear that all of these increased UA sells exponentially somewhere... making it fast.

That's what i was thinking.
Anyone remember the exact date we issued Galnet article to call commanders for stopping UA sales ?
Also what were the date we tested the massive commodity sale at Bond Hub ?
November 28th. The GalNet asking people to halt sales was published the following Monday, I believe. We used the GalNet to prove/disprove the Rares test.
If they published it, we knew the test failed.
The article is dated 4 Dec.

Well, we might need to wait a bit to confirm this, but we might have stopped future stations suffering malfunctions.
As i see it from my spreadsheet, Galnet articles appeared every 7 days or so announcing new malfunctions, with the exception of Bond Hub who was announced 17days after the previous (Weyn Dock, 64 ARIETIS).
Latest Galnet reporting new station "infected" was on December 2nd, two days before our Galnet article.
So wether we've been heard by players or FD used our Article, no new malfunctions to date.
Regarding our test in Bond Hub, the 28th November date seem to had no special meaning.
The station was reporting mysterious malfunctions for 26days at the time.
When did we stopped selling UA to bond hub ?

Maybe we never actually saw an unknown artefact? If our ship's computers (and they can project images on our cockpit glass and sounds to our speakers) were hacked by a prankster. Even if we can see and hear them with broken canopy our the sounds we hear are still artificial in nature and if even now (2015) we can have a see through displays - it wouldn't be hard to assume our glass helmets in 3300 can be hacked to show images.
A question to Michael: are our helmets capable of displaying digital (or analog) signals? They can't be just a glass as they have same tech as cockpit glass to protect out eyesight and face even in the case we have a blown up canopy inside O-type star's corona, right?

Well we totally did over the mouth-breathing mooks that bought them from us at the black market then!

I must say it: every time you post something I'm laughing out loud!
Same thing happens with "Who?" (... not a question...)
Real amusement here! Thanks guys!

Can you also add the station types to the spreadsheet? Does anyone have that info for the stations listed?

There was a test with a compromised canopy and I believe the UA was still visible but the graphic overlay stuff would not have been.
Interresting to add.
I will update the spreadsheet as soon as I get home!
eddb.io has all the stations listed, I've rapidly checked the affected stations, and found every kind of station and outpost.
The prominent Economy Type is Extraction/Industrial but there are also other kinds. Some have Shypyards, some have not. Nothing in common.
Apart from Black Markets.

I've *just* finished going through Galnet and putting together a timeline on the technical problems! Why didn't I check the threadnaut first!
