Oh, it certainly doesn't appear green, but it does have its peak output in the green part of the visible spectrum. That's all I was referring to.
talking about directions / up and down... did you notice that even if the ua aligns with merope the hud shows something different? if you align with the ua according to the hud its pointing somewhere else, right in front of the pleiades. i am testing this right now, so far 2 uas in opposite spots from the pleiades point somewhere right in front of the nebula. ross 374 is my mark atm. 3rd attemp will be from underneath at -300.

I think it's really useless to go on wasting time explaining what the Scientific method is, here.
"It's the Sun that's orbiting around Earth, we know what it does".
After 8 months, we have a winner for the Ignore list. In some way it's an honor.

Are you still explaining?
And I thought I was patient...
Greetings Commanders
Regarding the 'Large barnacles' - having made a quick check through this mountainous thread I couldn't see this mentioned, so just wanted to throw it out there. My apologies if this has been covered already, but here goes:
What are barnacles? Wikipedia gives us this description - "Barnacles are encrusters, attaching themselves permanently to a hard substrate". Ok, cool.
What are Meta Alloys? Part of the in game commodities mkt description gives us this - "Meta-alloys have a complex lattice structure with large internal voids. They are cellular in nature, and formed organically." Formed organically eh... hmmm.
We also get this - "These appear to be common in certain parts of space..." Certain parts of space eh... hmmm.
Now we know FD created an amazingly complex (and as scientifically accurate as possible) stellar forge that is responsible for the seeding of systems, and now with the release of Horizons, planets to. These planets come in a whole host of sizes and shapes and, more interestingly, colours. The planets get their colour from the elements injected into them via the stellar forge. This can be seen in the image below showing different coloured mineral deposits at the surface.
So my hunch is that these 'Large Barnacles' are called barnacles for a reason and that the "certain parts of space" possibly corresponds to planets with a particular geological makeup and/or with certain physical attributes. If correct, we will find these barnacles 'growing' on the right planets, in the right places. Farmers will tell you that in order to grow something, you need the right conditions. We just need to figure out what those conditions are.
Anyway - just a thought
I know the mission says "planet" but could that mean the rings around a planet? What about pristine metal rings? Is this mission only available in Horizons? If it's available to non-Horizons players that would be a good indication that it's not on a planetary surface.
Yes, I thought they might be leaking out of a region locked area, so will check the systems on the edge, AOB class stars with land able high metals worlds maybe.
The Green glowy things, if being the source of the meta-alloys- could be some equivalent of the automated mining units, mining up metals and processing/refining/growing the meta-alloys
This is very nice thinking CMDR.
I also tried to get it to stand up for quite a while after seeing your footage and could not successfully get it to do so (posted the video quite a few pages back, but I'll relink it again) I attempted to use my SRV thrusters to drop the UA out of my cargo hold vertically, although I'm not entirely sure how the UA's come out of the cargo hold on their own.

I asked that of the person who I think was the first to report the mission on this thread and I no longer recall their answer. But, I know none of the ranks were elite.
Is Horizons trailer's landing at 0:25 already analyzed?
Why is that Cobra landing on planetary base about 1000-1500Ly away from bubble?
I rotated screenshot from trailer and tried to match nebulae and distant galaxies. Currently somewhat closest match is about 100Ly from Puppis Dark Region B for example COL 140 SECTOR IH-V D2-63.
Is that some future vision of research base like one in Pleiades, after we have found something special from there?

There have been instances where other planetside missions are made available to non-horizons players. Missions send them to a planetary base even though they obviously cannot land.
In any event, even I don't think that FD are capable of borking it to such an extent where they specifically state that Commodity X is on a planet and it's not. It's not as if there are a myriad of choices given. Just one, planet.
Trying Antares now, Antares B 3 is a 100% metal planet, 1.8g, and a little green sky.
Interesting... may check it out tonight.
Nice. I think it's a fair chance that the Antares ship was built using Meta-Alloys for some parts. Could be a connection.
I think the UA landed on it's 'feet' the second time I jettisoned it from the SRV.. I remember after I jettisoned it, I immediately reversed and watched it fall. Sorry you weren't able to replicate it
That's a nice video though I think when you jettison stuff from the SRV it just appears above and behind the ship.
AAAAHHHH!!!!

Well we took mining kit out to the pleiades. Did all planetary rings and asteroid belts in. Merope Maia Pelone and Atlas. Nothing other than the usual rocks. The only thing we did not have was prospector limpets. ...o7
