No, how many?
no really, you missed my point. I am totally aware of that.
I was just replying to people complaining only after two days from launch, giving up, and start asking if these things are really in game before we waste our time.
It's fairly obvious that, without any hint, we could search forever, but hints will come for sure. In the meantime, we try to do our best to search in places coming from our deductions/discussions here in the thread.
To add some wood to the fire: there are SO MANY other things out there, already in game, we did not find yet. Some of them since day one.
Also for them, hints will come I'm sure because, sooner or later, FD wants us to find them.

Well.. Either this is CONTENT for the game or its not.. I hate the way FD end up nudging us, some of the intriguing stuff is so abstract and out of game it borders on being very questionable. No, I don't expect to find a Thargoid home world and be running off with one of their ships any time soon. However, I have a deep suspicion, based upon a lot of experience, that we are all being led down the garden path. Because there likely aren't any of these Thargoid encounters at all. And being drip fed by FD and promoting us having to solve the most obscure out of game puzzles requiring a degree in particle physics, or a chemistry seems to be going out of the bounds of the game.
I'm starting to think we are rather light on content here and we really are chasing the dragon. Even if we do find said barnacles or meta alloys its likely going to be another year before the next instalment of the intergalactic times, Elite Dangerous, crossword puzzle is released.
I think its worth asking a question. Is there, and has been, real content in game for us to *reasonably* find - OR are FD making this up as they go along and responding to what we all talk about in this thread?
Just food for thought

I'd call it collateral.
Came around that kind of stuff at the first beta cg,
produced it myself... collateral damage. *sigh*
Sweet credits...
Are we any wiser given some days passed since i left for recreation?
I read the Merope bubble was searched thoroughly.
Hmmm. i think of this whole UA stuff in two ways,
under the premise there is something added:
1. Stuff is hidden behind obscurely low spawnrates, reducing the likelihood to find hidden stuff to 1 in a million.
2. Stuff is fixed to a location, that cannot be interacted with until the next phase of the whole story.

I know, right? Hey, mysterious mission giver, thanks for narrowing it down!Well, so we didn't have any clues.... at least it's in our galaxy
Bit of a sidetrack point but I made another post re POI's which I think has particular relevance in our pursuit of solving many a mystery:

The only liveable planet of Peregrina has been cordoned away and whole system is under medical lockdown. According to the system description they used to make profit of alien artifact trafficking.
I was at Pereg 1 yesterday searching the huge crater of the planet so far no results.
Anyone going in there keep a close look at your rate of descent as the Asp has a bit of undersized thrusters for 2.3G.
Also if you get stuck on a heavily mountainous area and can't board your ship because you cannot fit under it just send her up, stand on the area where you should have been able to board the ship and call her down again. It will land on the same spot as before and voila!
If i was a Dev and hid something somewhere i would still put it where people can find it. All planets has TWO easily identifiable spots which are the poles. I would't tell which planet i put it on but i wouldn't make it impossible to find either.

I don't think I've ever seen one glow red, even after it's taken damage. Do you have a screenshot of this?
I have seen a couple of people mention tea in this thread...in merope and maia.Is this normal everywhere? or is this simply a joke from the devs because they knew a load of biscuit lovers would need something for dunking and would soon be crawling all over the planets here..or is it an indicator from the devs that we are on the right trail.
In other news i landed in maia/merope last night with a UA in my hold and i am about ready to experiment.I scanned merope when i got there and could only pick up so many unexplored places...i purchased the data from maia which was incomplete and showed me planet 6 was there but most of the rest i cant find.... is this normal? I only have a basic scanner i think but i thought honking would show me all the unexplored in system?

Stupid question but oh well, I'll ask it anyway: how far does a mission usually take you? I know it depends on the type of mission but excluding long-range ones (for the moment), what's the average number of jumps away from the mission-giving station?
20 light years
Thanks Derthek, so quick to reply!
I've been trying to pick up a meta alloys mission in the Ovid system. Tried several places but no dice. My feeling is that getting the mission triggers the poi spawn, like with other missions. I reckon it'll also be a dead end - just find a barnacle, shoot it a bit in your srv and hoover up the meta alloys, deliver, get money, next. But it needs looking into, so I'm looking into it. If I do get one, I will try the systems in the immediate vicinity first though.
Has anyone just realised that they display as "Canister: Unknown Artefact" instead of just "Unknown Artefact"? Perhaps what we're looking at isn't the artefact itself, but in fact the "box" that contains the artefact that we need to unlock somehow. We need a key to unlock it and find what's within, problem is we don't know what the "key" is.
Would fit in with the whole "before your eyes" thing.
Edit: This could also be linked with a riddle - "A box without hinges, key, or lid, yet a golden treasure inside is hid". The answer to this riddle is an Egg.
An egg that's waiting to be hatched.

If that's the case then the broken canisters people have been finding.....
You could laser it with the ship, shoot at it with the SRV, drop it from the ship see if it cracks like an egg.... or see if another UA does something (that is at the same time of trying to see if any of the other eleventy billion items don't)
Sorry to debunk this, but a black hole requires a massive star to form, but the formation event is a supernova during which the majority of the star's mass is ejected leaving the significantly less massive black hole remnant.
