if my calculations were correct.....
1 ly in 1000c is 8 hours and 45 minutes
I think you run out of fuel before reaching merope....

I tried this before Horizons. Got almost to 2 million ls before giving up. Also nothing...I tried flying from the black hole Maia to the Merope system instead of jumping ... 4,27 Ly ... but after an hour I gave up ...nothing seen.
I was thinking there was maybe a planet or something in between the 2 systems ... as there is no reason why this would not be possible ...
UAs & Station malfunctions???
MMM, according to your list Weyn Dock, Korolyov Hub & Carter Port have no Black Market at which UAs could have been sold (if I'm reading your table correctly), which would disagree with the theory that UAs (either sold by players or NPCs) are the cause of the station malfunctions - how could they have been "infected" by UA deliveries? Are you saying that these 3 stations had BM that were closed down? (my memory is bad!)
Hi there!
Nice work here. I was fooling around with Trade Dangerous Data ang produce following table

It is clear and obivous that this disease spread only for selling the UA on Black Market. The more UA's sold, the more f** up the station will be. Seem's like some groups went "undermining" Archon Delaine a little...
Those three stations that has Black Market = No has them suspended already.

I had this thought back in 1.2 I think. The consensus at the time was supercruise was required in order to buffer information to show to the client (like a change in system)
I pretty much gave up on the idea then. Part of me still thinks they might have hidden stuff like that but since the Adv Disc Scanner scans everything in a system Im not convinced.
Hold on.. Voyagers don't show up on scan despite being a persistent object.
The second one it's almost surely the UA convoy. Well done CMDR!
The next step is trying to Cargo scan it to be sure, and following it to see if it does something new, like landing on a planet or docking somewhere?
I remember seeing a t-9 crashed on horizons launch trailer and I never actualy seen any POI of it... maybe it's part of some history?
im on my way there now. hopefully my random idea actually means something.
Hi guys,
Since the launch of Horizons I mainly reside on Merope and search for anything is uncommon, with no result to this day. I'll keep searching, but I find something what would be interesting: The Seven Sisters of the Pleiades: Stories from Around the World.
A little part of the book:
"... she asserts that our Sun and Sirius in the constellation of Canis Major are twin stars and part of the Pleiades star cluster. Together, these celestial bodies are linked to the Pleiades by a 'photon band' radiating from the galactic centre of the Milky Way. This 'five-dimensional' band of energy spirals through Alcyone to the other stars of the Pleiades, penetrating our solar system and that of Sirius. This spiralling pattern, she claims, is personified in legends of Atlas holding the world upon his shoulders..."
I have no clue what this book is, and has any merit, just found it today as I was searching for sci-fi references to the Pleiades. Here is the link to the book: https://books.google.hu/books?id=3G...Q6AEIVDAL#v=onepage&q=sci fi pleiades&f=false
Maybe it can be useful to collect fresh ideas to keep searching for Thargoids.

Just been pondering why the UA's spawn in a shell. The radius from what's been said here is about 135-150ly. We don't find UA's travelling at superluminal velocities as far as I'm aware, so if the shell is evidence of the UA's having originate at Merope and spread from there, could it be possible that their max speed is 1c, and potentially have instantaneous acceleration to that speed. I looked at the timeline to see if there was any event roughly 150 years ago that might have initiated the spawning and spread of these things, but the only entry that comes close is the invention of the cobra and the Prossett Drive.
Of course, this assumes the UA's can travel at 1c, and can accelerate/decelerate at will, and haven't just been drifting for a very long time at subluminal velocities.
Apologies if this has been suggested as a line of inquiry before but this thread is greater than I can manage sometimes

nice job cmdr! UA convoy confirmed
edit: you can check if the t-9s modules are degrading if you don't have a cargo scanner

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but would this be the first confirmed UA convoy since 1.3?
Nice find.

One of Palins Galnet posts stated that they had found a Frame shift drive and a tiny Fuel Scoop within the UA's.

Yes.
Slarty, are you sure? I don't remember any Palin related post saying that. I'm trying to look for it now...
EDIT:
https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55fbda049657bad80dcf6eb1
here is the only post where something concrete about the UA is said: that it can broadcast over long distances.
Given that Palin research on the UA lasted only one week, I don't think there are other posts about it. Apart from when he refuses our offer, saying that anything definite is still known about the UA.

The centroid of the affected stations was already checked in the recent past, with no avail. Given the very low rate of the UA Convoys spawn, we still don't know if they spawn only there or somewhere else.
That said, it's a very good start, even if the centroid thing has nothing to do with the convoys.
History is full of discoveries made while searching for something else
Oh perhaps not Paling sure it was on galnet because apart from here it's the only other place i would have read it.
Or i'm losing me mind or need more alcohol.
Just found a SSS in hip 15609 with 3 convoys in it
1)
2 anaconda escorting a t9
scanned the t9s cargo and it was holding:
2x hafnium 178
10x battle weapons
7 x reactive armour
2)
t9 with cobra escorts
9x personal weapons
7x non lethal weapons
2x painite
3)
t9 with cobra escorts
2x hafnium 178
7x battle weapons
7 x reactive armour
seems this is a dead end guys.

Nice find, Commander. Although I assume they never went away they have just shifted locations.
Good to see they are still alive and kicking.
Thanks rizal, good find. Been away and I missed those.
But there's no proff of said FSD & Fuelscope then?
No, I'm pretty sure I've measured them at different speeds over different planets. Whilst I haven't done much in depth testing, I kind of just assumed that it depended on the gravity of the planet.
Yep, I'm pretty sure it's not feasible, otherwise I've have tried it when I first saw this behaviour.

Descent rate depends on the celestial body's gravity and orbital entry altitude.
Descent-rate will increase the deeper down you get.
The wreck I followed over a 0.09G planet or so, started descent at below ~25ms, but was over 85ms near the surface.
Took 3-4 hours to follow it from orbit.
Similar experiment, just with a wreck:
