After following the last thread for all 9289 posts I want to celebrate the start of this new thread by getting out there and finding a UA of my own and could use some advice on a ship. I've decided to either get an Asp or a Diamondback Explorer. As far as handling a UA is there any real advantages to either one? I'm leaning towards the DBE as it's a third the price and I don't have a ton of money. The Asp is better for combat and has more internal space, but if I'm getting a UA from Pleiades and don't need cargo scanner/wake scanner/hatch breakers does it matter?
UA Mystery Thread 3: The Canonn

It's not a complaint - it's just an observation (with some irritation) - not aimed at any person. I've self reported anyway.
As you know, it takes 5 secs to paste a word into an online dictionary - or even Google search - to realise something is amiss.
Yeah - but what Clavain is saying is that the misspelling is deliberate
Edit : Oh and we're already at 1% progress towards another new thread, everyone; let's step it up!

It's deliberate. It's a pun. A joke a wry quip in an effort to keep us all sane. So back off the canonn or you'll be feeling its first lot of grape shot!
If it gets me banned, at least my eye won't constantly be drawn to this thread title in bold with its horrible and unnecessary misspelling. +1
Got it - an *in* joke.

Or biscuit-shot. Perhaps hardtack would work?
Edit: We could fire it at every poster who posts a question that has been answered on the first page of the thread or the wiki, pour encourager les autres.

Yeah, cos no one has shown any interest in the past 20,000 posts. Or the wiki.

If you were in the from the first thread, then you get free biscuits.
If you joined in the second one, or are only joining now, then you can buy a season's biscuit barrel; or a lifetime's supply of biscuits.
Wow, this thread has really shifted into overgear, the influx of Cmdrs and theories is awesome. I really like the "we come in peace, hit it with chaffs", and the "Stop at other SS'" ones
Now if only I could get one of these little s......

Nope - not those other billions of humans.

I (leader of the player group, The Dark Wheel) designed it. There is no hint in the picture itself to anything related to the UA.
The Dragon symbolizes strength and wisdom.
The Ouroboros symbolizes the infinity of time and space, as the Dark Wheel once did and is currently searching to regain it's former glory and to reclaim Raxxla.
The circles represent the constant presence and motion of Raxxla across time and space.
I'm pretty sure you know what the Elite symbol represents.
Our ideals are embodied in this account's signature (read the definition and read the novela), as is the method for joining us.
Arcanonn said:Haha I know who made it..........well mostly.
Nearly there with new thread folks stand by........
I sincerely doubt you know who made it. If anyone would care to verify my claim, you can message Drew Wagar on his blog, and he can verify that the owner / operator of this account designed it.

I suspect that'll attract too many pirates.

Had a bit of time this afternoon for testing.
* Tried finding Voyager 2 (one last time, with the UA), hoping for finding by mass, no luck - http://youtu.be/-coArFEuX3Y
* Tried the system check (from https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&p=2672270&viewfull=1#post2672270) - same video ^
* Checked Skeggiko (no video). Lots of "Checkpoints" w/ Fed Navy, dropped a UA right next to a Fed Navy ship with no effect (other than a 150cr dropping cargo fine)

Wow, guys!
At this pace the practical tip to read this thread will be: read the first page and then continue at page 32.
(Sorry, this post is not helping either.)
See what I mean? Biscuit-Shot needed.
Edit: I hear things would be so much better if only we moved to Reddit.
Edit2: I think that is how things usually progress (the page 32 reference) in both previous threads IIRC.

If you buy another season's biscuit barrel, do you get to keep any chocolate coatings you had for the last one?
I was thinking more of arc as in story arc, making this place ArcAnon.
"Hello, my name is CMDR Zulu Romeo, and I am a storyline theorist."

Hey, I was here at the kickstarter; I already bought the biscuits, and the custom biscuit packet label (although all the custom labels were the same!) I have also pre-ordered the biscuit barrel, but I don't go searching for alien biscuits like you guys.
I'm holding off on the lifetime supply, as they seem a bit costly without knowing whether they are going to be high quality biscuits e.g. with chocolate covering etc.
