Hi all - long time lurker here.
The wiki page (
http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_Artefact) obviously has a section for tests done. Right at the bottom of that, it does list places where they've not been taken, but I'd suggest a completely separate section for tests not done yet. Or maybe split up the tests section for each idea and list what's done/not done. So the permit bit could list permit systems
not tried yet.
My 2p worth of "simple" things that could be done that don't
seem to have been done according to the wiki? The first thing that occurred to me is that it might only be possible to do something interesting/unique with a UA in a particular location. So while the wiki says they can't be put in a module slot in outfitting, has that been tested in various different stations/systems of interest?
On a similar vein, another variable might be the type of ship being used e.g. maybe it can only be outfitted to a clipper - I'm thinking of the Gutamaya discovery scanner that Galnet talked about. Or maybe it acts as an amplifier of a basic/normal/advanced discovery scanner if both are in an Asp.
sidetracking myself, I assume someone has set off a discovery scanner with a UA in the hold? The wiki confirms it's been pinged with scanners and I presume that covers both while ejected and while in the hold. I'm sure someone has done this, but blimey, I can only imagine the collective groan if that was all it needed and everyone assumed someone else had tried it!
Perhaps the most obvious to me is selling a UA at stations/systems of interest - I think Leonard Nimoy is the prime candidate I've seen mentioned (based on the wings trailer?). Taking into account the comment that people have been overthinking it and FD having handed out enough clues already, that seems to me to be the single most obvious thing. I know it would mean losing a UA to test this so I guess I need to put my money where my mouth is, take my recently re-outfitted multi-role python, and try and find me a UA
