go to a black market, sell the UAs, see the "unknown artefact" name in it. I can upload a screenshot but I guess it is not needed. will take a closer look later.

The name in the prohibited list has to match the name used in the inventory list of your ship. UAs are still Unknown Artefacts in the inventory list, so it's not the same object.
I suspect as Han_Zen says the occasional UA pointing misbehaviour is likely to be transaction server/comms-related, and Udo checked out yesterday that the UA he found still pointed to Merope (& in-system to Merope's star). However if you really want to double check you could visit 10 or 20 UAs in the shell, see if any are not pointing to Merope, then see if they are pointing to any other system- I suspect it would be in the Pleiades. I suspect IF there is another system pointed to (& I wouldn't put it past FD to code in some variation with another system that is somehow related to & complicates this UA puzzle!) then it would be one of the other of the 7 sisters: Sterope, Electra, Maia, Taygeta, Celaeno, and Alcyone, or their parents Atlas and Pleione.
Yes, I know it is still called "Unknown Artefact" when shown as a commodity on the market and in the hold... but I don't know that necessarily means that the prohibited list will always be the exact wording. Prohibited items often don't even show on the list, so I'm not convinced they even use the same source/file/list type thing. I think at this stage, it still possible there might be inconsistencies in the naming. I'd be happy to be proved wrong on this, because I'd love for us to find something new, it's just... I don't know... I'm a sceptic
Not everything illegal appears in the list of illegal goods. For example, salvaged Trade Data doesn't appear usually, but actually appears as illegal in most jurisdictions (distinct from Stolen, just for completeness).
UA's and UP's are definitely different things.
I don't know... I'm a sceptic
Totally read that as septic. I would recommend a doctor...

I would suggest it should be a spreadsheet something similar to the Monster (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...SfSJna6mTuLs/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=2126209210) & on Google sheets or whatever so freely accessible to anyone, not just Canonn members. It might be nice to have a summary of research in the Canonn newsletter, but that is up to the originators & I like what they have done so far.

A summary is kept on the first page of threads so you can easily check the latest situation there. Thanks for the update but this has been happening since the 2.1 release. Somebody wants to discourage trespassers on barney sites!
this has been my train of thought for a while.
I haven't found anything in seven sisters yet,
Doesn't mean something isn't here.
Other than some sneaky 3g planets ouch.

No, they use the same technology as frame shift drives, but the energy is colossal (the requirements for regular ships are huge too) so has more effect when entering normal space.

"Unknown Probe" u say... Interesting!
Thanks again Michael. The capital ship drive rumor has been circulating the forum for more that a year.
Are you planning to announce a guide for what is now considered canon and what is not?
Drew has been so kind to let us know that the primary ending of FFE has been recently been deemed 'non-canon'. This was not unexpected, but it would be nice to know more details.
Particularly on the following sources:
- FE2 Gazetteer.
- Stories Of Life On The Frontier
- Further Stories Of Life On The Frontier
- FFE Journal articles, predating the Thargoid missions
I assume all the official ED books are safe.
Wait, so the capital ships also effectively use FSD tech? If so, that's some mighty fast retrofitting in the last 5 years or so. Mind you, I suppose you wouldn't want to be the superpower who hadn't managed to do that...
Interesting that the effects are so different though, and that the capital ships drop into normal space rather than supercruise. Or is "the hole" just the cap ship exiting SC, rather than exiting hyperspace?
Now I'm just dreading to think the turning circle of a Farragut in supercruise. Hope they remembered to zero the throttle before jumping...!

Rather confused why the effect is so very very different with no jump streak. Attempting some mental gymnastics to explain speed of entry/exit from witchspace as more dependent on mass than just speed so larger objects come out slower *bendable_poseable*
p.s. as in exiting it in itself eats momentum, and the mass of capital ships means they come out nearly still

Best thread ever
Hi all, wanted to reach out to the folks on the forum and share what I had posted to the Canonn subreddit yesterday. I'll do my best to summarize, not sure if I am allowed to link to the post or not.
I started some research into the types of nebula LBs have been found in but stumbled across another Greek mythology connection. The California nebula is a part of the constellation Perseus, a great hero who ruled the kingdom of Mycenae. This sounded too much like Mycoid, as in mycoid virus, so I looked into the root of the word and it translates to 'mushroom' making it too strange for coincidence(mycoid translating in some texts I saw to fungal). I looked a little further and also found that Perseus had slain a creature called Cetus. No surprise there is a constellation and a nebula named after Cetus. I saw that there were some people looking at the constellation of Cetus recently but no one looking or talking about Cetus Ring, or the Skull Nebula. Skull nebula does exist but the main star of that nebula appears to be renamed to BD-12 134. BD-12 is also a good 30 lightyears from where it should be assuming it is a renamed main star of the Skull nebula. Last night I attempted to get as far as I could and realized the distance it too vast for a standard ship, it will require some serious FSD boosts or a better navigator.
It could be nothing but it feels like a clue when you step back and look at earlier references to Seven Sisters followed by LB discoveries in the Pleiades, then the bit about Cetus' Bane early in the month followed by a LB discovery in Cetus's bane (Perseus).

No mental gymnastics required: the ships leave witchspace at the same speed. A capital ship is around 2000m long - travelling at 100 m/s it will take it about 20 seconds to get clear of the wormhole, which is about what we see in the game. By comparison, an Anaconda travelling at the same velocity is clear of its wormhole in just one and a half seconds.
We can also pretend that keeping the tear where witchspace meets real space open for so long is what causes the cool smoke and lightning effects.
If anyone is near the WitchHead neb, I could use a hand to search Bd-12 1172, it seems to be the only system in the Spirograph neb, that looks different when in the system.
It has a few planets that come close to the barnacle range, plus its a crazy view from this neb, its like being under water.

So you changed your mind ? https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...art-(friday)?p=1718526&viewfull=1#post1718526
Or did I, and others, misinterpret what you said then ?
