UA Mystery thread 4 - The Canonn

I will attempt to start helping with Palin's CG tonight. Unsure if I should help from the trading or BH side.
Don't bother is my vote. Ignore their 'CG' If I could figure how to promote the entire idea systemwide, my vote would be: ignore CG!. FDev are clueless in the story telling department. We don't need/want another grindfest in order to merely read further down the page, never mind turn to a new page.

It's clear that Palin has a role to play. To expedite his part, it is now required we do the CG.
You don't have to, but I will. I don't consider it grind at all.

FD could have done this better, but this is what we have. We may not like it, but we have to at least work the system.
 
UA dropped on Merope 2D,
unrecoverable due to terrain.

Coords:
17.9632°
-131.7672°
23:1O GMT+1 17th dec 2O15
UA just destroyed itself.

Edit:
I hate the low altitude mechanics of Horizons.
My ship is doing the weird-8-gimbal move at O.2 Gs....

Edit2:

UA did not attach to asteroid.
UA did nothing special close to Merope's sun.
UA did not attach to rocky planet Merope 2D.
No shipwrecks found.

It's anything but clear. We extended the hand of friendship in the spirit of cooperation way back and were rebuffed. NOW we're supposed to make nice and do his bidding? I don't think so.

While I share your frustration, I do not take their approach to storytelling quite so personally.
It's quite possible it is we who have "failed" - that is, not seen something obvious.
 
@Silent Pact:

Go back to your trading & exploring. & let us know if/when you find some Meta-Alloy! :)

That's a reasonable position to take. Consider yourself saluted o7,
You might very well not take their approach to storytelling so personally. This is also reasonable given that they don't actually appear to HAVE an approach to storytelling. Just good ol' Brooksey with his clueless ' well this might be good' ......'oh wait'....'um'......'errr'........'it's a bug'.....


Grrrrrr
 
Ok, so maybe I've been in the buggy too long (and buggy biscuits are rot), but I caught a post about fake gems on the news...

Just wondering if those space barnacles are at all related to clams, and as such produce pearls?


(I have a cold, I may have overdosed on medicinal whisky, and by medicinal I mean Islay)

Regarding Palin's plea for help (latest CGs) what is the official Canonn position on this? Is it to distract us from our own research in Merope? Or should we everything we can to help a fellow scientist?

:D
 
As somebody who only has time to catch up with this UA stuff here and there, can somebody please explain to me which phenomena is being described as 'Barnacles'?

Is it the floating UAs that we've found? Or is it the name for the seemingly planet-bound objects that the trailer has briefly shown?
 
2 days and we are demanding clues?
Really?
Do we have two states now, "stalked" and "spoon fed"?

We have hardly begun exploring the possibilities

Yeah - we waited a good long month, or even more, before getting much progress first time round - it's easy to get impatient, but we must not.
As scientists we must strive for the answers whilst facing down impossibility after impossibility.

RP off : Keep at it - it's only a matter of time.
 
Well I'm scouring Synuefue ZE-Y d1-3 for materials. Trying to reach Andromedae. Nothing interesting to report. No new materials. No alien structures. I'm 2kLy from inhabited space and I've found the crashed probes with the data sources. No sentries from any so far (about four).

I did see some floating rocks doing what floating rocks do.. Still a bit weird

I also found an occupied escape pod. No idea what to do with it.. Might take em to Palin.

Found a couple of crashed wrecks with readings but no source I can pick up. Guessing buried or glitch.
 
The lack of Type x drawing.

So, just out of curiosity, why did it take so long to get an answer on this, when we first flagged it some time ago? People have been strung along because of this bug trying things (and wasting their valuable and limited game time, and that of others discussing it) thinking it was a deliberate game mechanic and part of the UA mystery. That is not right or proper, and I am starting to concur with Silent Pact in general. The same thing happened with the "disappearance" of the Voyagers and speculation about it being UA-related. Obfuscation through deliberate silence around known bugs and unacknowledged changes to internal game mechanics and their effects on previously known conditions (Voyager locations and how to find them) does not equal engaging game play or content. Yet sadly there seems to be some sort of deliberate pattern developing here.

So did the UA just erode down to 0% or how did it kill itself? I just made a 6:30 long voice recording and the artifact stayed at 100%

YA it seemed like a bug - was good to let us know tho. We seem to invent enough blind alleys ourselves :)
