Something in Merope is both obvious and logical, so it ain't gonna happen. When was the last time the ua mystery was obvious or logical?
However science forces us to rule it out via experimentation

I'd bet money that interpreting the beeps from the UA whilst in a SCV is a big part of the puzzle, beeps in ship while landed on random planet, beeps whilst in an SCV on a random planet, beeps whilst in a SCV on Merope, etc etc
That should be the first stop for science, second can ofc be scouring for the green thingoes from the trailer

That's probably a good idea !
I managed to get some material for refuel on 1A in about 45 minutes. Other than that, the part I looked at was unremarkable - but I didn't look at a huge amount

That's the thing: even if nothing is found, at least we've all had a directed joint effort in one place to have a go at and all become acquainted with our wheels - not to mention strategies for scouring planets etc.
When I think about the number of planets that were available for landing just while I was on my way from Kausalya to Merope, though - it's a bewilderingly huge task! Should keep us busy!
252, 374cr fine for carrying a UA in Imperial LP 940-115... Ouch.

Yes, salvage only from a certain regions of space, but no hints as to what regions.
I have a expedition planned once I get back.
As a smuggler, I can't help but look at the price... And barnacles. That doesn't remind me of anything.
About that alien thing in the trailer.
Most likely it is pre-set structure, and then the question is - where is it?
(Nothing new - just to summarize)
From the trailer, we see that:
1) It is metal-rich planet.
2) It is a planet with high gravity.
3) Since the recording was in the dark, we should see a lot of stars in the sky. But they are not there because they are closed by something. AFAIK only nebulas can do it. So our planet is inside the nebula.
4) "The Temple" is at a relatively flat surface. But the land rises towards it - so it is partially buried. This means that:
a) "The Temple" was there for a long time.
b) Perhaps it's a ship that went into the ground when it fell.
Every part of me screams: Bring UA to it!

Great to know your eyes and ears are on the lookout, Yaffle!
'Behold the power of Mod'!
Yes, they were spotted in Beta - and you're right to highlight them - a teasing description!
There are other new Trade Items from Planets that the Rares Sellers might want to investigate. I know there is a lot to do right now.
Hey, I can hop on and buy either a Cutter or Corvette fir testing if someone can confirm no one else has already supplied this. I have shadow play and a 120mbs connection with decent upload. Will I get a credit in the Canonn history books?
Only if you find Thargoids, when you could get the honour & privilege of donating your body (& ship) to science!
Though if things go the other way you could achieve galactic fame as the founder of a new era of technical & trading progress if you negotiate a good relationship with them
so win/win!
The Meta-Alloy description is the source of the 'Large Barnacle' rumour. I have not seen any indication that Meta-Alloys have been found yet.
Rep and biscuits for the first documented find
I made a post in the beta spoiler thread with some speculation on the subject: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=197389&page=17&p=3210177&viewfull=1#post3210177
Don't forget the ground colour - Light sandy colour? That will be useful in identifying the right world.
In the trailer seconds before the 'alien sequence' starts, there are two SRVs driving past what looks like a T9 crash site. The sky is Nebula red.
Not all T9s carry UAs, but all UAs are carried by T9s.
Confirmed. Brain-sucking Alien Temple located on anthonycsheehy's avatar after brief search.

The star enclosure could be a nebula, or it could be a very 'dusty' area on the planet. Iirc someone in explorer section posted a screenshot (or a video?) wherein the airless planet he and others landed on had a very dusty, almost atmosphere-like haze inside a large crater.
Anyway. To narrow the haystacks a little bit - would it make sense to first check out landables in the 150ly envelope around Merope? If that fails.. I'm thinking, alliance space is likely to have something. There have been plenty of remarks all over about alliance somehow being more of a thing in Horizons season.
