Well that was a long day cmdrs
today me and cmdr Daddio searched marope d2(dark side) from about 9am till maybe a little after 9pm. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just lots and lots of the usual. This planet is relatively flat and a lot of fun for practice your scarab flights.
later in the night i decided id fly around merope (the star in the system) to see if there was anything floating close by. It strikes me as odd that the UA would point specifically to the sun given that we cant do anything with it or to it. Nothing was found around the sun.
Lastly i spent some time on merope a1(light side) (i think. sorry the biscuits have run dry and so has my soda). also a whole lot of nothing but some very interesting occurrences. The only thing of note is i flew past said planet on my way to the sun and noticed graphical stuff similar to the above post but it a much MUCH bigger scale. i would say about 18th of the planet had this discoloration to it. i at first thought it was a shadow but there was nothing between it and the sun. when i approached closer to the planet, this grey slowly started to glitch out in parts. still not sure why it did all that and i didn't see it again, but it was part of the reason i went back and landed on this planet after i finished at the sun.
from a distance, ie in space, the planet looks like it has veins of yellow slime all throughout it but once you are closer to it these vallies and really just grey.
this planet had a lot of crash sites (sadly no full on crashed ships) with escape pods strewn around them.
something that bothers me about this planet is the outcrops appear to have a green tint to them. this got me way too excited more then a few times thinking i had found what we have all been looking for.
lastly, i will probably continue my searching of merope tomorrow. I have no problem with aimlessly searching but i still feel as though there is another piece we are missing that will help narrow down the search. Perhaps the finding of crashed ships will have something to do with it. I think someone had mentioned before about how barnacles generally need something to feed off of or live off of. A crashed ship seems like the perfect candidate.
