A hand for our Weyland-Yutani rep please.
Cant remember if anyone actually attempted this, but I do recall someone asking what happens when a UA is brought to the Body Exclusion Zone of the black hole in Maia and an attempt is made to fling it into the void.
So instead of spending my time searching the forums, I spent my time flying out to the shell, and then back to Maia and then the black hole...you know, for science.

Not having my Asp equipped with the AFM unit, it was going to be a "go for broke" attempt at this. made it to the hole with cargo hatch barely holding together at 79% (80 and below it has a large chance of dropping cargo), I dropped from Supercruise at 650km....back into SC, back out at 125km....still too long and too far...back out and in again at 45km...ok this was going to be close enough, seeming as the exclusion zone is at 24.2k, should give me a chance to align and poop the UA right into it...
Experiment concluded : UA does not respond to the black hole in any way, even attempted to nudge the UA past the exclusion zone with the nose of my ship, still nothing, expires as normal. Heading back to known space until a resolution is reached from FD regarding the miss-named Barnicle POI file.

Has anyone tried renaming the barnacle file manually then gone hunting !!!
There's a spreadsheet of UA locations floating around somewhere. There's nothing special about the systems, other than their fairly uniform range from Merope. No commonality in terms of star class, objects, or whatever though.
I think people have mentioned some of these, but I wanted to get my doubts out:
1. We don't know that the thing in the video is a barnacle/barnicle
2. We don't know if barnacles are related to UAs
3. Just because the videos of the object we think is a barnacle is in the dark doesn't mean that the barnacles can only be found in dark places. It's like seeing a building at night and assuming you can only see buildings at night.

Sorry for being late 
About the Medical Convoys, casually, I decided to follow them last night, before the discussion here came up, so I equipped a Wake scanner and a Cargo scanner.
They are the same as in 1.4, carrying Scientific Research, but I remember following one in 1.4, and they always ended up in front of an Icy planet, after a couple jumps.
Now, yesterday I tried to follow one of them to see if they tried to land on a Planet, but I lost the Convoy after the first jump, when they always exit from SC in front of some Outpost, and you must enter their wake to end in the same instance. Instead I tried to enter the outpost instance directly, and I've lost them.
I will try it again this night. I'm curious if they do something different now in 2.0

Don't do it. It's hacking.
We are talking about several folders and probably five times as many files.
In adition, all direct file references must be wrong as well, to avoid error during client compilation.
The chance of this being a bug is very close to zero.
We either haven't found them yet or they haven't started spawning yet.
Lets play the game as it is.

Yeah its called boosting really high in the air.
Ok I know people have been finding meta-alloy missions : the two references ive seen have been less than confident of the source system of the mission. I probably missed it somewhere in the thread ... but ... Has anyone been compiling a list of systems/stations that are offering these missions ? Or just have a definite location where one of these missions was offered? I would really like to check this out.
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks HZ Understood, Thought it may be more complicated than a single file error ...o7
No problem. I just wan't us to stick to wild goose chases that are in the game, not in the game folders .
Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

There may be more or less, but these are the ones as far as I'm aware of Mr. Stein, sorted through system, then station.
funfact: Ben stein's character in the movie was simply named: Economics Teacher
Anyway good luck with your wild hare. I know I'm still chasing down the ai relics path myself.

There was a list on Galnet a while back: https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/566976d39657ba2e441d36d3
Any new affected systems will be on Galnet as well, so just use that list as a starting point and work forwards in posts until today.

I've never actually seen a UA with my own eyes but after seeing that quick glimpse of that alien architecture in the trailer I traveled to Merope to drive on its moons. I'm staying on the dark side of each moon and so far the only interesting thing I've stumbled upon, because I haven't seen one before, was a Goliath guarding 2 canisters of gold.
When you get bored of the buggy head out to the shell and look for a UA, they are very easy to find. Videos are cool but nothing beats seeing one up close yourself. They are strange and creepy and a beautiful piece of work by the artists and sound guys at FD.
