Fantastic news, Michael - thanks so much for double-checking and reporting back.

Ooh I see what you did there, he might fall for it you know...

He has his own secret system for POIs. I found it. It's called Brokpoi.
 
Thanks. I must have been so focused on their talking that I must have completely missed that...

I can confirm that the meta-alloys can be found in the released version of the game.

Michael
Should we be able to understand where to look for them by clues that are/were given to us either in-game or outside of it, regardless of whether or not we have found and/or understood those clues correctly or do we have to search the needle in a haystack?

And: Would you say, that, by the standards applied to the meta-alloys, the UA *currently* is exceedingly rare?
 
Please FD, no more Spoilers :) the humanity also doesnt know how to or where to find Aliens but we are searching for it ;)

Maybe, when we get enough UAs to the Merope System, they will show a stronger signal to a relay Station how we saw in the trailer?

When the UA s are shutting down Stations, than it could be, that many of them show us where the "relay Station" is to where the UA s send there data.

maia and merope have been probed to death, we need to diversify and spread our search out, they could be anywhere indeed. So lets get hunting

My group has shown that u can target specific stations and shutdown with bulk deliveries of UA ( iapodes, pic tok, 49 and 64 areitis, ngalia) those are our efforts so far. All have been done with mcuh manpower, a bit of grinding from the HIP 18987 system. Weve even blown a few hundred up to test shooting them. We ahve gotten results, not many others can say that eh. But u can continue to ignore us for now we arent finished yet
 
I'm sorry to say I lied yesterday. There is no base in HD 25308. What I thought was a base was infarct a small landable moon, just behind the planet I was on.

I hang my head in shame and embarrassment :eek:

Which is why I think it would be useful to know the answers to the questions I launched at Michael. Because if there are clues that should point us in the right direction we've obviously missed something or interpreted it incorrectly.
You're suggesting jumping head first into the haystack, and that's something I'd like to avoid. ;-)

I am not ignoring you but this Thread is huge and fast :D whats your group Name? Maybe I can help or just search with you guys.

Sorry to say, I'm reacting to the tone in your questions, which make them sound like accusations of some sort.
But then again, English isn't my native language. Perhaps you intended to phrase them differently.

It was so with the UA, now for the meta-alloys & barnacles, still the same rules apply. Nothing much changed.
Using ingame mechanics, and / or with a dash of mythology from previous titles & interweb.

However, it's the last question which sort of ticked my buttons. What kind of answer do you expect from the last question?
To be frank, it looks like you're trying to bait MB, and I don't really understand why you would try to do that.
I hope not, I hope I just missed the point :)

I think it's a simple misunderstanding. And English isn't my first language either, so this may well be the source of the confusion.

My intention was to phrase the first question as an "A or B" type, and the second as a simple "Yes or No" question. Nothing more.
With the first question I only want to confirm whether or not we have missed or misinterpreted something, or if there simply are no clues and we have to be lucky to happen upon the meta-alloys.
The intention of the 2nd question is to estimate the definition of "exceedingly rare". Considering we have billions of star systems and the UA only spawns in a few thousand of them I would call that exceedingly rare. But possibly it means even rarer than that, maybe on the same level with the UA convoys.

So, I have no intention to extract any information from Michael beyond a simple A/B and Yes/No. I also do not want to have the answers to this mystery handed to me. Otherwise I wouldn't participate, but just watch and wait for the solution. ;-)
 
Look at the chemical structure of hydrogen/carbon compounds propace, octane and it is very clsoe to the look of teh UAs esp 8C/18HY. Is there planets ingame that have petrochemical (would tie in with barnacles perhaps in some way)

Might indicate methan worlds (it fits the chemicla structure looking like the UA) and then we just need to look at different world types branching out from taht ( metal/mineral, composition obv no atmosphere but different gravity and a host of other variables)

Titan is nice for petroleum. It has lakes of liquid Methane.

Personally I like the the phosphotungstate anion [PW12O40]3− that consists of a framework of twelve octahedral tungsten oxyanions surrounding a central phosphate group.

Twelve octagonal bits connected to a central bit sounds very familiar. :p

Interesting thoughts - I wonder if anything like methane etc would likely result in an atmosphere, too?

On a completely separate note: You seem like you're a great chap looking to engage with everyone else and generally try to expand the UA research effort. So, I have to ask - the hostile rubbish written about us over on Reddit by a user that shall remain unnamed - including inciting people to try and take down our station (which we didn't necessarily care about, but it was the principle of the thing) - was that done with everyone's blessing or a rogue agent, so to speak?
