I found a mining outpost on Altais 2 B at the base of the monolith. I found the exact same minerals. Silly me is riding around in a DBX without cargo space so I couldn't take them away.
I'll be changing out for an Asp later.

They were called "mining fragments" but they were actually whole units of cargo.
I am in the Mobius group, but about the only time I ever go there/solo is for Community Goals, because <essays>. I'm usually in open besides that

The UA doesn't scream "large barnacles" to me. The UAs are pretty small, and they have only a passing resemblance to barnacles (people on these threads have noted similarities to scarabs for example, but I don't recall anyone bringing up barnacles. The terms UA and AEO are pretty well know thanks to the Galnet posts so I can't imagine why the Meta-alloy description would introduce another name for them. On the other hand, UAs are found in particular parts of the galaxy.
On balance I think it's highly likely that "large barnacles" are something new.

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.
Nice one!
I sold a UA in Maia tonight for 271586 so that fits the theory.
I also checked the UA alignment in Merope system and it pointed at the main star for me too.
The UAs are not "large barnacles", I'm pretty sure of that. The name 'barnacle' tells me that they are probably stuck to the ground.
UAs could however be barnacle seed pods or something similar.
This is why I think it's important to search the planet surfaces in the UA shell.
I hope we find a 'small barnacle' or a barnacle egg or anything that could connect UAs to barnacle spreading.

Also... Has anyone taken a UA in a T series ship and dropped to check the Morse ? It may have changed.......o7
I did that, the T-ships still behave the same as in 1.4: posted it yesterday.
Not the Kellback however: it has its drawing. I'll post it soon as I did with the Cutter some posts ago.

I've just docked at Obsidian with about 100k worth of resources that I purloined from a mining extractor farm found on the nebula side (current at least) of Merope 1A.
Also managed to get stuck in a ravine, getting out of which cost me 50% SRV hull. My own fault.
Struggling a bit locating the POIs on the surface. Some of them are huge, it would seem, some are reasonably small and easier to work with. No thargs - but the red tinge that the Pleiades Nebula gives on the dark sides of moons is similar to that trailer...
Fair does on the TeamSpeak - although if you fancied winging up at any time with anyone, you'll find people in there. But then you know that

Ok CMDRS, thanks To Vasious and andrak, and their recordings, we have interesting NEWS
FIRST:
The Cutter has HIS OWN DRAWING! And a very nice one...

Here it is (Morse drawer tool):
View attachment 86662
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!
The drawings do seem to be getting better. Did you check any of the known ships to see if they have better drawings now too? Perhaps the UA is developing (it's drawing skills at least)
Save me some
Me too
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.
The trouble with trying to ascertain a location out of the trailer vid is that it's shot on multiple locations. There are shots of a yellow star very close, a nebula in the sky, a close ringed planet, blue stars, more distant yellow ones, different terrains, and so on.
Nice idea

Cant Rep this as I ripped your Galnet entry instead. I tip my hat to you sir.
Hi Cmdrs
Just spent the last couple of hours reading back posts regarding the large barnacles and the fact that FD said "it's in front of your eyes".
Has anyone considered the Crab nebula, close to the outer rim, nice and dark out that way.
I was going to head out to the Monkeyhead but think I'll go vist the Crab first.

Nick and I had a good method for zeroing in on the poi's last night. One commander flies to the edge of it and faces in, putting the edge in the centre of the radar and getting the alignment of the circular edge nice and straight so he's pointing directly at the centre. The other commander positions himself in the middle of commander 1's hud - dead ahead - and then finds the edge of the poi and also puts it's edge in the centre of his radar. Targeting each other then gives the distance, and tells you the diameter of the circle. Divide by half and then one flies in, using the other stationary commander as a distance reference. Using this we were able to land bang on target.
That's because you've not seen the Keelback's... it's ugly...
BTW, yes, I've checked a couple of old ships and drawings are the same (DBX, Cobra, T-6), even the well known plotting errors.
Does it look like this?
But anyway, as I say above:

Yeah I did see the Keelback pic. It was ugly, but still no wild jags in the drawing. But anyway, it was just a thought, and well done for checking
So horizons lands when I'm at work... FML.
I read a theory about the crab nebula. Is there any plan about it? Or any procedurre to explore all the planets in Merope?

Come on guys. Some poor underpaid intern probably made those ship drawings. I think they're very good and said intern should be proud of their work.
Finally, the Keelback's full morse sequence list:
Very long, but still ugly!

I think the Crab Nebula is definitely a place to head to check for these Barnacles (as they're related)
Hmmm.... I'm wary of reading too much into other parts of the trailer.
I don't think the 'spooky green barnacle' section is part of the previous section's narrative, and thus not necessarily in the same - or indeed any - specific location. The trailer is primarily showing us the kinds of things you can get up to down there on the surface - and the kinds of things you'll find.
No, I think this section of the trailer is more a hint (still a good one) that we might find something distinctly alien on a planet surface occasionally, or that there's a specific planet somewhere that might have something on it that's like what we see here.
Equally, if you think back to the Wings trailer - the California Nebula was all lovely and everything, but when we went there at the time, not a single whiff of a UA was found at all out there. Might be worth, however, someone heading out to California Sector HW-W C1-7 and see if it's got any planets worth landing on... I can try tonight - but 1kly is a fair old way to go in a 15ly Python!

If you zoom out with the radar, you can get 80% of the zone on screen and get pretty much in the centre really easily. They are not always at the centre anyway, and likely to become even more difficult to find in the future. Mentioned on the Live Stream that they think it is currently too easy.
