All the rep to you commander. Could we get Rizal or Yaffle or someone to plug this into the first post?
EDIT: NM, looks like it's taken care of. Good work all.

That's what I'll do when I'll be back from Paris, this week end
But 99% of the new thread so far is just white noise...
Paris! My least favourite city in the world! Also the one that I happen to live in!That's what I'll do when I'll be back from Paris, this week end

That's where I was yesterday. The Python was suddenly a lot heavier!
Nothing of scientific merit, but HIP 17694 B 13 B is covered in gorgeously misty and ominous canyons, if that floats anyone's boat.

I like to call it "Spacewolf-ing" haha. I don't even care if I find a barnacle at this point (that's only partially true), searching just gives me an excuse to fly like an idiot as close to the surface as I can until I inevitably clip a hill-top and pancake my ship.

Gotta run a few errands today before jumping back into the search, will be streaming my efforts again later today if anyone can't play and wants to hang out/keep the space-madness at a minimum.
Thanks for the input, but unfortunately your image does not really help, as I can´t identify any star on it.
If you want to help with the constellation research (which will be great!!) please make sure to identify at least one of the stars on it when you take an image from a different system. Otherwise, we can´t use it to triangulate the exact position.
Update on the Constellation research:
We are finishing building a 3d matrix that will help us to locate each star of the constellation. Once this is done it'll be a matter of time to find the exact system

This is super cool. Cannot wait to see it when it's finished
In more, flight-of-fancy news. I decided to get to 0.0000 on Meropa A 1, just to see if Barnacles exist at the poles... they do not. Well, not uniquely and for sure anyway lol

i spent 10 hours there 2 days back, found absolutley nothing from about 110 POIS that would indicate barnacles and or meta alloys. That said a lot of mining automation stations that yielded a lot of osmium / palladium and panite. As well as some of the more advanced materials for sythn
Well spoken.
I've heard this noise before as well. It isn't something UA's normally do. I've dropped my UA on Maia B1BA many times in several places in my surveys and it never made that sound, but when I dropped it about 500km from Maia B (the black hole) it made this noise. I have video of it, but I listened and it's exactly the same noise. I don't know what it means.
You basically took my short list of facts and greatly improved upon them. +rep for you!
On another note:
Here are two videos from my recent experiments. One shows the UA sound when dropped near Maia B, the other video shows a strange metallic signal I picked up on the wave scanner, with no visual indicators. You can "see" (rather, hear it with an empty wave scanner) clearly toward the end of the video after I move away from all the interfering objects and manage to find a nice area with nothing visual on the scanner, but the sound persists:

Also, I have created a google doc for the detailed planetary surveys. There is not much there right now, but anyone who is willing to contribute is invited to. If you're tired of searching areas of planets that may or may not have already been searched by other CMDR's, you may want to contribute to this effort. Please record your surveys. Perhaps together we can find the fixed persistent POI's with barnacles.

Just a quick word of advice to those who 'play hard' like I used to be able to before, well, life...
8 hours of persistent POI searching/flying/SRVing etc is hardcore, but can be joyless if you don't get a result.
We can't expect to find this within a couple of days of the latest hint. Take a break - go back to the bubble, or pop to maia for some res hunting or something. Break up the monotony and you might be able to stay the distance longer!
We need lots of CMDRs doing this, not a few doing it for huge long stints at once!
That said - if you are one of those who just finds joy in meandering about and finding whatever you find, then hats off to you

Absolutely sound advice. I've been finding it super fun to throw my ship around at surface level and see what I can see but even then I couldn't do this, and don't do this, all day for my whole playtime. That's just madness haha
The UA sound is the "angry" BG sound it makes when receiving damage.
Drop it from an SRV and it won't be there, drop it from the ship and it will.

Is the bluelight visible from orbital cruise?
That certainly holds up with my experiences. We can consider that mystery solved unless someone can come up with a counterpoint.
Error 404. Could you check your link? Maybe it's on my end. But I have an idea where your soundfile would come in handy.
A few of us here have thought that there is something in some of these crashed Nav Beacons, for a starters they should not be there not from a scientific stand point (any crash at those speeds would have turned it to dust) We just need to start looking at the different types of crashed Nav Beacons.
so i doubt very much that it is NOWT as you say, a good find indeed

And this is why after 18 hours of flying upside down ( i think it broke my brain) i went and got back into the UA pics again for a lil bit. wise words indeed.

I'd like to join in the Merope search. Someone just has to buy me a new computer. Any takers?
Right, I think we are being led on a massive wild goose chase, and the Devs are sniggering as they watch us.
A bit of out-of-the-box thinking...but:
a) 'Barnacle' is a clue. It is an (organic) creature that sticks to the surface of things.
b) We are told of meta-alloys 'They are easily machined, but as yet cannot be manufactured, only found in space. (My emphasis). Not, 'on planetary surfaces'.
c) The breakdown of Obsidian Orbital seems a bit too coincidental to be entirely without suspicion...
So: Has anyone searched the OUTSIDE of OO for 'things that shouldn't be there'? Has anyone searched the Maia Nav Beacon. Is there any salvageable wreckage around, and has anyone checked the surfaces??
Just an idea....
