So, looting & crafting = science?
This statement from MB at the same day we have a Thread named "Best Whisky for science" cannot be a coincidence. I say it's Whiskey, let's all drink Whiskey!! Wooo 
OMG No. I hope the interesting combinations are all built in and we dont have to go back to the Mary Berry stuff
Store is up for me...
Only conclusion I draw from that is that award-winning journalist Fiona Parker seems to think Halsey's disappearance was the the result of "external forces" and not the results of "internal machinations"?
"The Missing" is an interesting title for that post. The Galnet entry generally just seems to talk about the difficulties of colonisation but then seems to throw the Halsey disappearance in at the end. The title of the post "The Missing" seems more related to the last "thrown in" paragraph than the rest of the Galnet article. Unless she's implying (although she doesn't explicitly say) that colonists were being kidnapped.
Is Fiona hinting she may know something!
*tin foil*

could be that they are trying to link the two, the lost settlers and halsey's disappearance.
"Scanning technology was considerably less sophisticated" - i.e. perhaps it drew pictures of ships using triangle coordinates sent via Morse Code? Which would fit in with the wireframe ship depictions of the older games...
And "The Missing" makes sense as some generation ships/colonies were never heard from again, also in the old lore.
Were Merope or any other Pleiades systems ever the destination of any of the early colony ships? Han Zen?
Edit: Oh, and Fiona Parker is an anagram of "Freak Ion Rap". Just saying.

I don't know of any attempts to reach the Pleiades.
The 2200-2700 period was after the discovery of hyper-jumps. Achenar was colonised in the early 2300s.
The Pleiades are not that much further out.
I guess early settlers may have gotten there or even further out?
I was playing along.
anyway once I drop off this load of onionhead I'm going to go hunt some ai relics and take those to bond and see if that helps. (unless that's already been done)

Thanks for your reply! I like the "not yet".
Can 50 years be considered as early enough? (Please say yes!)
That's why I think all UAs point to Merope. The Antares ended up in Merope's star, literally.
Too much tinfoil-hatting? Maybe.

Evening!
My thinking about UAs corrosive behavior(and itself gets hurt as well?) in our ships cargo space:
-Our ship interior temp is probably 21° C, and humidity is 40% and pressure 1 atm
-Ammonia boils -33.34 ° C in 1 atm(and if UA is ammonia-based living organism, boiling probably harm it)
-Ammonia-gas will combines water quite well.. ammonia-gas becomes ammonium hydroxide..
-Ammonium Hydroxide will rapidly react with copper, brass, zinc and many alloys, especially those containing copper and corrode them. Ship electronics probably contain copper(and copper alloys) alot..
Workable theory?

Sure, to both questions. ;-)
Too bad there is no mention (that I have come across at least) anywhere in any of the Antares lore as to what its route or destination(s) actually were.

Whew, Forums working again...
Just to say "thanks!" to all the folks who replied to my "where's the other aliens?" post. Tried multiquoting several times & only got borkage, so please forgive me for not metioning specific replies. I've had enough fighting the forums today.
It Works. We don't have the environment to test it. At least not yet.
Yay! <ô/
You're correct, there isn't...It'd be great if we could steal Nigel's data chit from Sirius Corp.
Just the sort of fun thing that a fast ship and a skilled SRV operator should be able to pull off...
I like it.
You can never have too much tinfoil when you link SS1, Antares, UAs, and Merope. More I say!
Btw Pop.. Too add another sheet of foil, I am chilling in Peregina and noticed that the station Talos 1, which orbits the quarantined moon Undine, is a Science Research station.
So a Scientific Research station is orbiting a moon that is locked down, with Universal Kill On Sight orders. The same system known for the Unknown Alien Artifacts being brought there.
*Cue the Shrilly violins... and DUn DUn duuuun.

No cueing of violins necessary - read T. James Out of the Darkness...
I don't think there was ever any evidence that UAs were being brought there, it just happened to be in the same general area where the first UA convoys were sighted IIRC. Not convinced myself that the two are connected, particularly since the discovery of the expanding shell around Merope. It might have made sense if the UAs had been
the surviving escaping Thargoids from the secret research station at Peregrina that was destroyed.
