Thanks Dinsy. The problem is that I think I will need at least two basic, and one standard injections to get there alone... Thanks for the tip on the high metal content planet though, will search for one nearby. Mostly ice rocks around here...
I just want to say that Alnilam is a very interesting sytem.
It has more or less everything.

You will need boost.
Alnilam, Epsilon Orionis (AEO).
I have right now 1 50% boost fds boost , if you are in the bubble. Ruchbah system have a 4.5G heavy metal planet that i found a lot of items for fds jumps... a it tricky to land but rewarding.

Thanks a lot for that link! I'll try to reach the entry star they are talking about there, but it means I could reach it with just one basic FSD boost. That looks like more manageable, although I might need other boosts to get to the entry star. They where using Asp's with more range there than me. Had to upgrade the thrusters to survive high G planets, and also equip a shield to avoid taking damage on landing...
What is the jump needed? 38? 39? how many?
From the angle I'm approaching, the next star is 41ly, but for the one after that it looks like it's even more. I'll try to find another route in, although I have to backtrack to surround this area. I'm still 150ly out of the star.
ok, i'm adding you and striping down my asp and going for a look
It's a challenge. I've fit A Class thrusters on my Asp now. The SRV and hangar adds a little weight as well.
remember that exist a lighter hangar with more power output, seems like a fair trade for a explorer..
Especially when you can just turn it off except when you've actually landed.
Remember that just because UA's can only be sold at black markets doesn't mean that only UAs can be sold at black markets. Many other items could be sold at black markets as well that could be impacting the stations. I know that Galnet has quotes from people indicating a connection to UAs but Jmanis' tests seem clear to me that just selling UAs to a station isn't enough.
Sure. But be aware that there might be nothing there! But it sure looks like an interesting system...
I'm at the main menu now and overrun by kids, so not sure when I'll be able to get in game again. Will tell you my actual position as soon as I can
Found a lot of rare materials but no BarniesDuno where to point now.
Had more luck than me... found hardly any good materials and spent a good few hour flying around. I expect it's just a random ice world they're programmed to end up at.
I run the light one. The other one is heavy as hell. I still manage fine with a D-Class power suply, even with A-Class FDS, Thrusters and distributor.
I know people have tested the UA at Merope - and that its definitely pointing there. But maybe its just a programming error or it wasn't accounted for - but in the line of how he wants the story to go is that because of the neighboring black hole and the distance when you point directly at a star you really are not pointing at it because of stellar drift. I'm starting to wonder why Maia was selected instead of Merope as the location for a base. It definitely is more interesting but could it be really where the signal terminates?
Im on my way, i got 32.50 actual and 35 withouth fuel... I think i can make it.

I've been out of the game since Horizons dropped (my poor laptop suddenly found it was low on RAM....getting that fixed next week, when my upgrade arrives in the mail), but I had a thought about the Barnicles. Has anyone checked out near the Formaldine Rift? That's an area that's supposedly linked to the Thargoids and/or some other alien race, so maybe they could be found in that direction instead of in the Merope bubble?
