Someone on the PS Message for the Enigma Expedition had posted a screen shot of a guy claiming to have the intent to UA bomb the Enigma.
I believe it was on a Discord chat room.
Not sure if he really did it, but it seems a likely suspect.
Dove Enigma UA bombed, preventing completion of its voyage in time for the man it was named for.

Do you know what? .. I agree with you, this is getting out of hand.
Calls for a perma ban, attacks on FD .. this is a game.
The community seems to be responding in a fantastic manner, Supporting the event. What happens if all these people detour from their objectives and FD "Fix" the issue themselves? .. will people start to complain because they went to help and FD fixed it (of course they will)
Cheers mate
I wouldn't, because fixing at all it is more important than the method.
However, I would agree that it would be a complicated situation now that there's a fair amount of community support momentum.
Hope it helps.
This’ll be my first time taking her into really deep space, and my first time using this configuration, so one way or another, lessons will be learned.

Let's be fair here, the reaction to this has brought more attention to the situation, before this thread I had no idea .. doesn't that make it even more sucsessful and more importantly Memorable?
At last check, the estimates were 500t of UAs. More are likely on the way. So 2500 MAs are needed now and 5 MAs for every additional UA.
I haven't checked in a while, so my info is a couple of hours old.
We can assume eventual doubling of UAs delivered. That would fit the profile of these particular CMDRs.
There are two additional CMDRs that haven't apparently joined in with the griefers. Each has a routine of delivering 100 UAs per campaign. I would have to assume that they'll be joining.
So expect 1200 UAs. 6000 MAs will counter it. Anything above that would not be wasted. The extra MAs make the station (or in this case, megaship) resistant to future attacks.
Not sure if it's been asked already but are there any barnacle sites to farm for meta alloys nearer to the Megaship?
Yes, but for all the wrong reasons.
And this whole debacle is why those of us who can't be griefed don't mix up in-game and RL, as then the game becomes a way of getting to you.
Hopefully Frontier will learn a lesson here: all the out-of-universe events, all the memorials to deceased relatives, the charity streams, all those feel-good doodahs, in a game which allows a degree of adversarial play, will come bite you in the back when someone in need of attention exploits the breach in the 4th wall you have created yourself. And at this point, either you betray what your game is about and simply god-mode things in the way you want them to happen with no disruption possible, or things will get nasty and personal as they are bound to when real people are involved.

I understand that and agree, but I have to say that I would have no idea of this endevor without this happening (and I am sure many others wouldn't either)
There might be after Thursday...

If I have my co-ordinate correct, all barnacle sites are in the Pleiades, which is in a rimwards direction from the bubble, whereas colonia is towards the galactic centre on the other side of the bubble.
Nice intelligence data. If I were a bad guy, this would be a good time to switch to or call up a reserve force to the real target. Emergent gameplay is already achieved, community shows all of its good will, support and publicity. And the real target felt under radar for now and opened a possibility. Everyone should be happy!
Oh no, now I've spoiled someone's intelligence data.
Canonn map to the rescue!

Just out of interest, how can you transport 100 UAs over a distance of 20k ly? My Pleiades Conda has 8 CRCRs, so 16 corrosive things at a time, but even considering lots of AFMUs and synthesis, that would be a daunting task and take weeks.

Wow, I had no idea that UAs stacked. I just thought you had to deliver a certain amount and then the station "flipped" to infected, like a switch. How in the galaxy are so many UAs being moved such a distance? It's not like one can fill their regular cargo holds with these.
I think this is the key point here. Frontier consistently forget that there is a minority of their community that are twunts and will go out of their way to mess around with either events or whatever. Unfortunately their response to these disruptions appears to be also consistently toothless.
