Is it possible, perhaps, that the extent of the station malfunctions and failures was measured by UAs that breached commanders' cargo hatches as they were in SC? Once a UA busts out in SC, you can't find it and scoop it again. And then the escaped UAs go for the closest, tastiest stations for an easy dinner.
Or maybe that's too convoluted
Has anyone else noticed that there are some seriously odd things about the main Pleiades stars? For example, Alcyone is suppost to be a quarternary system with two WD and a F-type dwarf - but its not. It's a completely isolated B star?! And its about 50% heavier than it should be.
I wonder where the other stars went... WD stars don't just vanish (#theforceawakens). The other main stars aren't quite right either. For such a well known region with good real data that FD put such significant events in, I'd be surprised if this is just a mistake...

I'm afraid I can't agree with you on that but before that let me propose a theory :
the blue fireflies might be the extractors that take pieces of metal etc and take it back to UA to do the repairs so the UA might be carrying an auto field maintenance unit of some sort and the blue fire flies might be just that .
now about the reason I disagree , I think the reason the meta alloys are immune to be extracted is either because the UA reckons it as a similar structure or origin as itself so it doesn't use them , or it might be that the materials or the structure of the meta alloys can't be used by the UA to repair itself
this is my theory .
However I also wouldn't be surprised to see yours was correct

Excellent question however the logical way might be to support both of them to see what they say , if they announce the same thing then we are on the right track if they don't .... Well then I was right that the federation can't be trusted since ss1 disappeared
I don't trust Hudson either that's why I left and became an imperial but i do have a feeling that an independent Corp is more likely to tell the truth
keep that in mind that Hudson closed pallins research program after 2 days so he had to start his own program .
At this point the Daurtu Side has only 43 contributors, including me.
How do you figure the players had no agency in the failures? Who do you think was taking the UA's to the station?
Jmanis took 250+ UAs to a station he chose before (he kept the station-name secret) to see if this station would be suffer damage aswell - without result
Maybe he didn't take enough. There are a lot of players out there and a lot (most in fact) don't post on the forums.
I believe the one example of a player group using UA to disable a station as part of Powerplay had to deliver over 600 UA to the station before it start malfunctioning.

I'll be there later today, heading from Merope to Varati to switch from Asp to T-9 for max profit

Another possibility is a bug. Once Jmanis revealed where he had been selling them we noticed something about the station. While it had a black market, it never had a regular commodities market. It's possible that something server-side was not registering them the way it should because of that. I'm not sure if Jmanis ever filed a bug report about it or not in case that was the issue. (it was discussed here at the time, but I think it was in thread 4 somewhere)

Others had far less. Bond Hub in Varati had less than 50 (possibly less than 20) delivered when it started having problems. The inconsistency is evidence that it is not solely UA numbers that cause the problems. There are theories that it may still be automatic but with other factors involved, such as number of players making deliveries, but the most likely explanation is that FD simply decides manually which stations are affected and UA numbers are not the sole consideration.
Seems my initial attempt to map the barnacles over known star points wasn't square. Problem solved... I'm off to check coordinates and see if any of the dots overlap nebulae.

Im pretty sure they aren't going to post in Galnet that Professor Palin discovered that the UA's ARE the cause of the station malfunctions, without knowing that they are the cause of the station malfunctions. I don't care what a player did, the people who wrote the code said the UA's cause it, then they cause the malfunctions. On top of that, if the UA's cause the malfunctions, how do you think the UA's got to the stations? They flew themselves through the mail slots and sold themselves to the blackmarket dealers?
The Galnet post was quoting Palin, a character, not Michael Brookes. There is no guarantee that what Palin says is correct and true. It's faulty reasoning to assume that the devs wouldn't have put that story on Galnet unless it was true. We don't know what their plans for the story are, but we can absolutely expect to be given misinformation at some point.
I'm almost certain now that these barnacles are of human origin, especially now because of the new company that has apparently come out of no where.
With all the posts I don't know if this has been mentioned, but in relation to MB's mention of barnacles and nebulae being 'obviously' related, has it been discussed that the nebulae are clouds of spawn for the barnacles?
It's how earth barnacles reproduce after all, by shooting out clouds of sperm and eggs into the water.
Potentially flying into a nebula with a barnacle in it would mean leaving with barnacle contaminants to spread elsewhere

I couldn't find any mention of the compromised carrier signal post by Zac here. Maybe something to look into. If anyone comes across a news item about this at a station please share the location.
