That's REALLY INTERESTING[/B]

You're not joking. :)

PaulR, if it is confirmed, any chance of a breakdown of what material you are currently carrying?

UA is trying to cannibalize ship for some material, hence damage, provide that material and....

The Orca is still very well Armed, however, compared to T-Ships, so...
and
I've already tested the T-6 and it takes damage exactly like in 1.4.



Cockpit is ok, just turn off the music, and stay as close as possible without hitting the UA. BTW if you hit it at very slow speed, there's no problem.
I suspect the Cutter will be a long sequences one, but 10 min should be enought.



Found lot of phosphorus and sulphur on Merope 2A. An Zirconium and iron. And awesome view of the really close rings of Merope 2 as well. ;)

thankyou commander ill check that tonight :D
 
...about the "temple" (Is that what we're going with as a general name for the structure?)

I used the word "Temple" because I imagined something like this:

Ok CMDRS, thanks To Vasious and andrak, and their recordings, we have interesting NEWS :D

FIRST:

The Cutter has HIS OWN DRAWING! And a very nice one...

Here it is (Morse drawer tool):

SECOND:

When deployed from an SRV on a Planet surface, the UA spells the Planet's name (Merope 5a in Vasious video).
If deployed from the ship, it goes on with the known behavior of drawing it (Sidewinder drawing in Vasious video).

Land safe, CMDRs!

That's a point - is there one of those click-bait 'breaking down the X trailer bit by bit' videos, like you get with movies?

I really love those :/

You mean like this one? https://youtu.be/DZeO-4F45WM

I am looking forward to the Horizons version.

Yes I know. It was jus funny that is was mentioned on the previous page in this thread.:)
And that it was Bitstorm. Made me laugh.
 
I saw quite a few CMDRs last night just in game, and the TS was very busy.

I was there most of the night East Coast time in Mobius and never saw a soul (I've decided it is all one time zone to simplify things, so just made that up), checking out the ancient sublighter tea carriers on 1D, and the odd crashed drug smuggler (apparently the Thargoids used or sold lots of drugs as well). Don't really do Teamspeak unless I am in the mood to pretend Elite is an MMO, would rather pretend it is a single-player game.

Whether that was because everyone was in Open, or had been there earlier UK time, or because; usual Elite Dangerous networking and instancing fail, not sure.

Found a mining outpost on 5c, never seen some of these minerals (not materials) before. Goslarite and Pyrophyllite. I'll keep hold of em in case someone needs em for testing.

I'll be concentrating on 5A/B/C tonight as well. There's a good theory it's a good place to start in Merope (though nothing is absolute). I found some rarer materials on 5A (marked as Rare in the UI), so definitely an interesting part of the system - even if we don't find the Temple Of Doom.

words cant express how much I want to find that temple of doom :)
On a slight aside 5c is pretty flat with lots of craters. No canyons. I did end up exploring in the twilight and sometimes I did remind me of the vid so I wouldnt draw too many conclusions about which type of terrain its on.
 
Did anyone check if an UA deployed in Merope space, still points at the star?
AND
Bear with me for a moment: now that is possible to use Heat Sinks in SC, (because you know it's possible right?) could be that now we can get very close to the star's surface, until some special unique persistent signal pops up?
Perhaps these aliens have strong resistance to heat and they live IN stars...

Well, that's gone and done it. Let's see what happens now.

So yeah, Walker Survey in Kagutsuchi was my station. It's proximity to Peregrina (where Talos 2 is currently suffering issues) is why I was so curious that nothing came of my sale of 200. It would've been consistent with everything we've seen to-date.

On an aside, I noticed this when selling my final UAs to Walker Survey: UA price is variable again

And though this is just two points of data, it seems to be more expensive as I go further away from Merope?

Might be worth looking into some more. Anyway, that's all the science from me. All going well, I'll be on the run for a little while now ;)

Yes, I did this tonight. Still points to merope. Also encountered a Medical Transport, still same cargo and messages.

Hi Guys.

Just to add to the new trailer topic. It must be next to a black hole, as that's the only place which is so dark. (Black holes actually produce black light which overrides local stars light in ED...Its a placeholder until the lighting system becomes more advanced) All other night sides of planets are dimly lit by nebula. Ive checked out the worlds in the vicinity of MAIA, but no joy. They aren't big enough. Any other black holes in the Pleiades?

Were they whole units ? I thought when I found some of the new stuff in Beta it was just a Mining Fragment (not at all sure, I had no cargo hold to keep them)

They showed up as mining fragments when they dropped from the mining machines. As soon as I picked them up they took up a cargo slot. I noticed when I targeted the fragments you see what it actually is. Yup, appears to be a while unit
