Id like to note that picture. RIght there. is 100% fake. Lol I dont even need to explain why its fake. 784 UAs... and yet having 5 of them will literally kill you in a few minutes.
Shows the differences between scientists.
I kept ship at Darnelles progress (required a ground base as yes a ship will disintegrate under a number of unknown objects), and used a 2nd account to drop them off. I needed an SRV bay which is why it wasn't using the full cutter cargo load (792) and a docked ship doesn't take damage from the UA's.
For the 2nd account I was using a dolphin then upgraded to a cobra equipped with CR cargo racks. While transferring them across I've figured out that approximately 1/6 UA's will vanish on contact with the SRV rather then be taken into cargo or explode (which has been passes on via bug report forums). I used the alien wreck site closest to Maia and it probably took 120 trips. I was in wing when I passed them across so they weren't stolen and cut further into the profit magrin.
For completeness sake here's the un-cropped images I had taken.
There still are ways to get higher transaction using similar tactics: UP's (good luck with the spawn rate) and/or go to a place where any of them could be sold for a higher price.
It took 8-10 hrs a day for about a week and the UA's are more accessible then the UL's, I bid thee good luck to those that might try it. I might give it a go but I currently don't foresee that happening.
Oh and while I'm not fussed if you think the picture is fake, as a Cannon scientist I would appreciate you mentioning that it's possible or at least testing the theory first.
Edited: It seems the UL's price dropped dramatically from ~$500k to about $30k. I wouldn't blame the change given the abundance of them.
