Were any of those systems places you guys were bombing in secret with UA sales?

I'll be honest, mine isn't, but I never moved past 13 sales, due to doing the Nebula Station CGs and fighting the wars in my home.

I know pubilcly some people were selling in Sol. Ngobe and Iapodes I've not seen mentioned though.

I have not. All my sales have been in 49 Ari (approximately 15) and one at Bond Hub.

Ngobe is Prof. Palins new place, so there is no surprise there.

Sol is Sol. Probably been quite a few sales there to push for a reaction from the Feds..

I've seen reports of UAs delivered to Iapodes as well. It's quite close to the shell (75ly to HIP 19897).

Yeah, huge shout out to Huros! You brought a lot of flavour to the stream.
Sorry about the time shortages RK & PF I had to cut about half of what I wanted to say. There was going to be a lot more name dropping of other notable Canonn CMDRs!
Thanks to everyone for showing up :D You guys did more than you know! I could talk up the Canonn all I want, but you guys actually making a presence and showing just how diverse and awesome we are says more than words ever could! We've got about a dozen more members since, and the TeamSpeak has been active with new memebrs while we've all been signed out! This was a huge group effort... each and everyone of you are stars!

Ah, there's so much to say, but I lack words. Group hug <3

Many thanks, that supports Riz's response- my hypothesis was faulty & has failed the test. Sigh, science is such a demanding process. Will have to put my tinfoil hat back on & do some more pondering, but first I have to acquire some more credits towards my Cobra IV! :))

Rep for those who responded just then, Oreo-stuffed choc chip cookies for those I can't like Han_zen.

Sol because Sol? FD shutting down services in sol z0mg Imperial bias! ( that was a joke :p )

Well, I think I've secured the outcome of this civil war with 2.5m in combat bonds (has reliably worked so far), so I dust off the old DBE and fetch another 20-odd UAs :)

Thanks for the Oreo:)

I hope our newly gained publicity will result in more UAs being sold all over the bubble.

Some thoughts:

Ngobe is the most significant closer system to the UA spamming shell, after 49 and 64 Arietis. I've personally sold few UA there as well. And is the home of Dr.Palin as Han_Zen said.
I've sold some UAs in Sol as well, and I know for sure (from Reddit) other people did it.
Iapode is another well know place were tenths UAs have been sold as well (from Reddit again).

@Slartibarfast: I'm proud of you! ;) I still suspect there is nothing in the errors, but your effort is appreciated. You must take in consideration that, to draw the ships, FD used the real ships, so I think it's normal that some triangles point to the hardpoints, I don't know if you understand what I mean...
but please, keep on it!

Just wanted to share my experience just then and offer a helpful tip to any of you budding UA collectors who want to "play the odds" and bring back dangerous levels of UA's in a single run.

I just collected 10 of em, and had jumped back to the system I'm selling in (PS, the price bump to 225k is pretty awesome...), flying back when of course,, cargo hatch got hit, knocked it from 100% down to less than 48% and caused a malfunction,, cargo started jetting in supercruise of course.

Luckily, I was paying attention and did an immediate emergency drop out of supercruise. As a result, I only lost one of my ten UAs, rather than the whole lot.

tl;dr Emergency SC drop is your friend when carrying toxic cargo :)

Wow - 10?! I've never had more than 1 on board.
Where did you sell them to?

I'm happy selling UAs is having an impact, so I'll repeat what I posted in the past: sell UAs in Alioth. Now that I'm back in the bubble, I know I'll be selling loads there. For science!

Out of rep, as usual. If nothing else perhaps this will provoke some news or other events to occur in the Alliance, which has been deathly quiet for far too long and near invisible (not that things have been much more lively in the Federation or Empire story-wise).

Trade secret, for now. We're all doing science here ;) I'm not so convinced selling them is *actually* having an impact, rather any announcements are just FD intervening on "things they know" from the forums.

Oh, and another tip. Bored while looking for SSS? Do hand-weights! Up to set 4 of my exercise reps! Science makes you fit too!

EDIT: Ok, just dumped another 8, taking my total at this station over time to 30. Won't complain about 3.8mil for roughly 90 minutes work either.

I think we can be pretty sure that if we don't sell any to a station, that station won't be affected.

Easy test - arrange off-forum to sell a large number of them to a station, and keep it secret. If that station is affected, it's a reasonably safe assumption that the sale is triggering the issues.

Anyone else think we should sell loads to Bond Hub?

Worst case scenario, UA terraforms the Outpost for thargoids.

Best case scenario, UA terraforms the Outpost for thargoids.

Could be an unofficial Canonn CG :D

Edit:
Either way, it would be cool to have Varati as the central system for the next chapter of the UA mystery. Just a thought ;)

Derthek, Bond Hub is already affected by the failures.

And another thought on this: it's an outpost, as other outposts have been affected as well.
That's because people tend to sell UAs in outposts (no risky security scans), and with blackmarkets...
There are not that many outposts with black markets, really: that for me is another point in favor of the UA being the cause.
