Don't read anything in to 'ban', I was only using .,.. ......,. ... as a vigenere. And if spaces exist, I ignore them.

If space exists, we ignore it.

We don't know.Very limited evidence seems to suggest that they show up relatively quickly. I wouldn't necessarily eliminate a system if one doesn't show in an hour or so but I'd make a note and move on. Perhaps move closer towards one of the known drops. See if a distinctive change in convoy composition starts to appear.
When I first went to Timocani I got the UA convoy on the 3rd SSS I checked, but after that I never saw another and I probably checked at least 10. Last night at Reshas I checked 6 SSS and found 2 hafnium convoys but no UA. I think the UA convoys are still very rare.

I think the source data is the problem. Simbad gives its parallax as 0.12 [14.62]. Converting the given value to Ly results in the value seen in the game: 3260/0.12 = 27,000. But look at the error: 14.62. That means Hipparcos really had no idea what the distance to the star is, which is not surprising if the distance is anywhere near accurate (parallax is only sufficiently accurate out to about 1600 Ly). I think the problem is that it's a suspected binary which can screw up Hipparcos' parallax measurement. Another thing to keep in mind is that Hipparcos' parallax measurements of the Pleiades are now considered to be probably wrong. That casts some doubt on all of the Hipparcos data.
Our new GalNet article:
Anti-Federation Terrorists Linked to Artefact Research
Over the course of the weekend hundreds of tons of Bio-Waste were dumped in and around stations in 78 Ursae Majoris. This system is currently undergoing preparations for President Halsey's arrival as part of her planned grand tour. A group calling themselves 'The Canonn' claims responsibility for this act.
An anonymous spokesperson told GalNet that they are "a movement of like-minded Commanders seeking the truth about the recently discovered 'Unknown Artefacts'." They state that they are "prepared to use whatever levers are at their disposal to increase the political pressure on the Federation government to force them to come clean." The spokesperson echoed growing fears that the artefacts could be some new weapon of mass destruction.
Parallels were immediately drawn to Dr. Arcanonn and his recent demands to the Federation government following research into the Unknown Artefacts discovered to be transported in Federation convoys. We asked Arcanonn if he was connected to this terrorist group. He denied any responsibility for the group's actions but declined to answer any further questions on the subject of his potential involvement.
However he did go on to say:
"It is clear that we are not the only ones who are growing tired of the Federation's cover-up over these artefacts and some Commanders would seem to be taking more direct action. Obviously, I do not condone such methods but I can certainly sympathise with their frustration."
"In the spirit of seeking to put an end to these disruptive acts I urge all citizens, Federation, Alliance and Empire alike, to petition your government to make public any information that they have on the origin and nature of these objects before these demonstrations escalate. I also appeal to Chief Xeno-Chemist Lyran Betar to contact me so that we can pool our resources and research into these potentially related items, in the search for answers for the common good of all humanity."

I know I sound like a teenager, but am really loving how this story is developing - this interplay between the sim universe (FDev) and the community is brilliant.
What will the Devs do next?! The anticipation! Just like Christmas! Then what will "The Canonn" do next!!! How will the Scientists respond?! Will Halsey come clean?
Some one needs to write this whole story as a piece of fiction. Any budding writers want to do interviews with "The Ring Leaders"?.......THIS cold be a great new novel. True story in a virtual world.... could be a first! Drew? Kahina is on the fringe of this....

Can't rep you again - but +1 for this.
Thank you, but again, not all my own work. Arcanonn and, erm, my anonymous source need +1 too.
And everyone else taking part. I'm currently barely even playing the game (for various RL reasons) so this is my only real contribution. Kudos to everyone actually out there following leads and taking risks. *group hug*

Kahina already has a story though...Cheers,

I have been quite busy AFC (away from cockpit) myself lately. The few hours I have spent flying has been used for UA hunting, listening to everything and generally taking a closer look at stuf. I don't think I have docked in a week.
Following this "story" has been amazing. Thanks everyone.

She only needs a bit part....

Hmm... I wonder if Kahina would respond if Arcanonn reached out to her specifically?
Possibly our next attack vector. Arcanonn at this point is our UA story puppet. I'm sure he'll be fine with it. hehe

I want to +1, but why am i out of rep all the time?!
Forgot about this angle. Hmm, time for a coffee and a chocky digestive.......
Now hold on there CMDR. This is supposed to be a team effort. Why do I not have a chocolate digestive!?
