Strange that a reverse-image search of this doesn't find anything similar. Odd, if it was posted elsewhere on some other forum.

I ran across a Type-09 being escorted by 2 Anacondas in Strong Signal Sources in Maia a couple times. They were out by Maia B but had no dialogue at all, unlike the previous convoys, so I just assumed they were generic SSS spawns.
Hafnium 178 the couple of times I ran across those.
The the missions seeking meta alloys say they'd be found on a planet though, and someone's poked through the game files and have confirmed the existence of a "barnacle POI"
While I always regret having to resort to poking around game files I'm glad we have SOME confirmation of where to look. Stops people like me stopping off at every single Signal Source ''just in case'' lol
The UA could be found as part of the convoy and in space, though it was first found in a convoy. Obviously some NPC somewhere has already got a hold of them so it isn't out of the realm of possibility there could be a convoy with one in it. It would be less useful for tracking down the barnacles which I'd assume are exclusively planetside. If we knew roughly what direction the convoy came from or the area (once again assuming there is a convoy with meta-alloy) it might ever so slightly narrow down the mind boggling number of places to search for barnacles.
Just food for thought as I was trying to think outside the box.

I agree, I don't like it either, though I'm glad this person hasn't replaced the assets to force a barnacle POI, like someone else did with the UA back at the beginning.
I had no idea that had happened. That's definitely too far in my mind. Ruins the fun.
ARRRRRRRGH!!!!
hey all, i just wanted to suggest that we not be so hasty to denounce this image as unimportant. i mean couldn't this have been intentionally leaked by the devs as some sort of clue or compass?
also, some people have been discounting the image based on the green hue from the star - to me, the similarities between this image and some of my own recent screens from Merope couldn't be more clear:
original image (arrows added):
enhanced original:
screenshot from Merope 2A:
screenshot flying into Merope 1B:
landing on Merope 1C:
view of Merope 1 from Merope 1C:
the last one just shows the relative planet size of Merope 1 from 1C which could potentially be the planet shown in the original (note the 19 day orbit of 1C is not currently aligned as in the photo to capture both Merope 1 and the star).
the current orbits may differ from the original but it seems that the same stars and general point of view is there. until proven otherwise this seems to be more evidence pointing toward the Merope system and perhaps a more specific landable location. from what i can tell, the most similar points of view to the original image are from Merope 1A, 1B and 1C. note that 1A and 1B have a binary orbit around each other and either could potentially be seen as the planet in the original from the surface of the other.

hey all, i just wanted to suggest that we not be so quick to dismiss this image as insignificant. i mean, couldn't it have been intentionally leaked by the devs as a sort of clue or route marker?
also, many seem to be discounting in due to the green hue of the star, but i have to say that it looks strikingly similar to recent screenshots of my own from Merope:
original image (arrows added):
enhanced original:
screenshot on Merope 2A:
flying in to Merope 1B:
above the surface of Merope 1C:
Merope 1 from 1C:
the last image is just to compare the planet size of Merope 1 which could potentially be the planet in the original - even though the 19 day orbit of 1C is not currently aligned to show both the planet and the star as in the photo. also note that 1A and 1B have a binary orbit around each other and that either could potentially be the planet in the image from the surface of the other.
though the current orbits may be off I believe the same stars and general point of view is relatively accurate and similar to the original image, suggesting more evidence pointing toward the Merope system - though now with potentially an increased accuracy pointing to a specific landable planet. from what i could tell planets 1A, 1B and 1C are the most similar POVs to the image.
just saying, until proven otherwise, we may not want to wave this off as nothing.
it could just be that the person who made the fake, got their original picture in Merope because that's where everyone is looking right now.
sure, but do we know that? aren't we at risk of dismissing potentially significant information if we too easily assume its a meaningless fake?
It is a pretty obvious fake though when you really look closely.
Then why developers have not posted a picture by themselves? So we do not doubt if the picture is real.
Also, compare the size of the sun on your screenshots, and a fake picture. It is not Merope.
I will discount any single image without providence. Anyone who seriously wants to present evidence of something new they will show multiple angles and give a location (if you want to keep the location secret then don't bother posting).
651 light years.
I doubt the devs would leak something in this way. If they wanted to leak an image of something new they'd stick it in the newsletter or put it in a trailer. Which, of course, is exactly what they did.
Personally I don't see the star hue as a problem. I've seen class B stars which looked pretty green before.
What I do see as a problem is that it's a single shot without explanation. Why no other angles? Why no shot from inside the SRV showing what the game calls it? Why no location? So coupled with the fact that part of the image is apparently lifted straight from the trailer video, the likelihood that this is legit is extremely small.
