Yes, you can. Due to the new Galnet article on the subject, i feel like it will probably be kept open, at least for some time. Obsidian orbital is in Maia

Awesome.
Yee who is in charge of the first page information, should reflect this.
Something that I personally did not like, was wading through pages upon pages of useless bullcrap, while looking through the first 4 threads about this.
(oh well go and read through them so you can get caught up) are you kidding yourself? you're kidding yourself. You are so full of silliness, it isn't even funny if you expect people to do that.
You, person incharge of the thread, have elected yourself as the custodian essentially. so comb through the silliness and put the relevent information in the first post, the OP. Cuz that's what custodians do.
You only have the authority to push up those posts you feel are relevent, and push down those you feel are trash.
Can anyone else agree?

I've been scouring the interesting bits of Merope 5c all day, there wasn't anything interesting in them. I could almost say I had gone 12 hours without mistaking a rock for a barnacle, almost, stupid rocks.
Theory time: The possible barnacle things in the trailer glowed. They do have an organic look to them and we might consider what they use to produce their greenish light. Which made me think about bioluminescence, yet another thing I am not an expert in. What I can garner from wikipedia page is that ontop of a specialized enzyme you need magnesium ions, calcium ions, and/or ATP (adenosine triphosphate) ... I'm fairly sure calcium is not present as a material, unsure about magnesium (ive yet to find any if it is), but have seen plenty of phosphorus. Phosphorus is also fairly common so that lead may not help us narrow anything down. Is there a resident bioluminescence expert lurking around this thread by any chance, I'll pay you in space biscuits for your help with this theory

On my way in to Maia... adding to spreadsheet data:
Pleiades Sector HR-W D1-41
7 Orbital Bodies
1 Landable ~1847 from star - Ice World. 0.30G Rotation 1.0D
I'm going down for a closer look.. following day/night rim, saw a bunch of close proximity POI's.
Update: spent a little bit of time on the ice world, obviously saw nothing of note really.. some narcotics, battle weapons, some minerals, a couple occupied escape pods. I have just arrived in Maia.. docked for the night. Will continue the search tomorrow. I'm open to help scour any specific systems/planets if there is somewhat of an organized effort in the works. Otherwise I'll just follow my nose.

You seen any base like the one I linked above on 5c?
Anyway guess I'll try 5B if you spent that long on C and found nothing so far.
They are everywhere. Bases guarding stashes of tea.
There is only one explanation. The descendants of the British are worried about a future apocalypse where there is no more tea avaialble, so they are making caches of them throughout the galaxy in preparation for this terrible time!
I seen plenty within the bubble but I never thought I'd see that stupid tea/gold stuff out of it.
I haven't explored much out of the bubble but does this mean that you could go to the edge of the outer rim and still find sentries guarding tea near man-made structures? This doesn't make sense one bit..
Also, lol @ the brit/tea comment, it made me giggle

The unknown artifact has the same shape as a 18HY 8Carbon molecule known as octane.
We need a landable plaent with either traces of carbon,petro or hydrocarbons , or some other unique thing ( volcanism on a carbon world can hurt)
But then again it could just be something that Fdev have put in random location, if nothing is found soon i hear others are checking orions nebula and other places.
Selling unknown artifacts to maia may also be something we need to keep doing.

Similiar investigations on Merope 5C today apart from quite a few data point sites, not found to much yet the way of any barnicles, this is fast turning into a wild goose chase or a needle in a haystack
Your spreadsheet is a good idea, but IMO we need to have a place to write down which coordinates or sections of a planet have been or are being searched. For instance, I have explored Maia B1BA 0,0 to 0,-17 since I started keeping track. This was largely an aerial search from 3km up, looking for structures large enough to be seen from air. So we could have, under Maia B1BA: 0,0 to 0,-17 (Aerial). This tells people that those coordinates have been searched from the air. If we have more of this information we can start avoiding people searching the same places and focus our search on the unexplored regions. Now, I'll admit this system isn't perfect. On some planets, it can be hard to effectively see an entire coordinate grid from 3km up, but it's far better than what we've been doing, which is just "I explored a canyon on Pleione 4" or "Check out this screenshot of the fog on this planet in Merope". I'm not against people enjoying the game and posting to that effect, but we do need a place where we can keep hard facts and coordinate a proper search. Your spreadsheet already has alot of useful information. Would it be possible to add our detailed surface explorations to it? Perhaps create a group of people who can edit it, and we can then sift through this thread for the hard data to add to the sheet? Over time, we will get a much better idea of what is on these planets, and if we still haven't found anything, at least we'll know we need to be even MORE thorough, though I think this will do the trick. If anyone has better ideas, please let us know. That's one thing a forum is great for - getting the good ideas out there, assuming they don't get buried in the flood.
Well what a troll base in the middle of nowhere.
The whole thing was apparently built so that 5 sentries can protect 2 canisters of tea in the middle of it all. I mean, not even inside
Oh well..

Grats. You found a Tea Factory. I think that's what we're calling these now, right? Found one earlier today. Had a nice cup of Earl Grey while petting my UA.
Please make a note of your coordinates. Even if you don't find anything, it helps to be able to rule out areas.

In true frontier development forms, things lack variety, depth its always gold and tea ( nothing else well sometimes personal weapons and other bits) but the grindfest of this whole thing is fun but its rather poor form.

all well and good to have a grid search, but what about random POI barnicle/meta alloy sites. That kind of makes it null invoid except for fixed sites
Random POI's are going to happen regardless. We know there are fixed POI's with barnacles. If barnacles are the clue to point to meta-alloys, finding them, fixed or not, is a worthwhile effort. If you find a random one along the way, then at least we found one. The fact that you're coordinating with other players and searching in a specific pattern does not reduce your chances of finding a random POI at all.
Well apart from a load of tea, sentries, a distress call and salvageable wreckage I guess there's just rocks out here. So far anyway
I find it sort of amusing that we're all looking for something that nobody has ever seen. Basically we don't know what we're looking for and by assuming it could look like this or that we might just be overlooking what it really is.
This might just be FD version of Blizzard's Diablo 2's lobby ''gem''. (aka they might or might not be trolling us with the whole thing)

1. Null and void
2. By definition random POIs are random so they would appear as often on a coordinated search as they do randomly.. Add in a better chance of finding the fixed ones and you have a good idea
On regards to fixed POI's...
If they want us to find them, they need to be in some places that make sense. No point placing them in the middle of a plain without any nearby reference, or it won't ever be found.
I think that whatever location they choose, we will spot it already from orbit, like a really cool looking canyon or crater, but in any case there will be a very interesting geological or geographical location there or nearby.
That of course doesn't count for the RNG ones...
In any case, from now on I'll just drop down from orbit on interesting land formations, at least I'll be taking home nice views.

ok well ... felt the need to slap together an update as this is a new thread and all ... Hope i didn't miss anything terribly important
3. There was a Q&A with DB for Horizons where he was asked about Thargoids and started talking about the UA mystery. For me that was strong evidence that they are linked in his mind.
