I ended up leaving my UA on the surface of Merope 1A yesterday - and NOT selling it to a black market.
Somebody asked me if it could grow something on that spot later. Maybe it's worth finding out?

Can we name this UA 'Matt Damon'? Or, actually 'Muatt Duamon'
This exact thing happened to me last night, but when I approached the planet I had a full pc crash. I assumed it was caused by a graphical display error from the latest Crimson driver update.
LOL.
Actually, I had the music from Brief Encounter in mind when I left it on its own. A tragic love story...

Indeed! very subjective it could just be future game assets or unreleased content. I mean from a logical standpoint there are many thing's u can't do or find in the trailer. It's been quite clear they want us to explore specific areas but where should we focus on is the better question.
I personally think we should focus our manpower on the most obvious choice for exploration and split the teamwork and scan as much as possible until we find something. This is just going to go in circle forever so we should just define some clear objectives to be able to get those questions out of the way.

Quite a few people continue to believe that the TinFoil is strong with Merope.
It's a system that's actually being pointed to!
So - I propose, unless you (i.e. each individual CMDR) have a better idea that you're married to - that we all focus on Merope. Let's get every single one of the moons surveyed around the clock?
Aerial surveys for interesting features and surface surveys at the same time.
Basically - if you're looking for a planet, pick one in Merope.
Not an attempt at an order (I know I have no actual power!) - just a suggestion.
Edit - Sole Hunter's post wasn't there when I started writing
I've been on 1A and 1D recently. Heading somewhere else tonight though. The one that's yellow in the system map, I think that one will be my home tonight.

Yeah, has anyone already listed all the systems that are in the Nebula?
Then get some teams for each system, teams manage themselves and report back...
This! Something like Spirograph Nebula (check it out in the galaxy map in-game). There is only one system within the nebula. The problem with that specific system is there are IIRC 3 landable planets and a bunch of moons that can be landed upon. Regardless, it's a better number than all of the Pleiades. Unfortunately we don't know for sure they 100% spawn in every nebula, but we do know they exist in the Pleiades.
What is the name of the mouse-shadow on the second moon?
Oh - we call that "Muatt Duamon"...
Agreed, there are plenty of players here interested, we need teams going to planets and looking.

I agree also MB's said nothing so far regarding UA's & Barnacles/Meta Alloys interacting with each others and that does leave a lot of room for questions/speculations. I think we should all carry an Unknown Artefact with Auto Field-Maintenance Units and do Aerial Surveys until we find something rinse/repeat. He CLEARLY said we can't miss them so if UA's have something to do in this bigger picture we will eventually know for sure.
We can debate here all day or speculate about the next clue but if nothing is done in orderly fashion with a clear objective we won't find anything.

Why? This forum is here for people to have fun spouting random theories and talking crap about in game alien crackpottery.
90% of my enjoyment in this whole UA/Barnacle mystery is seeing the amazingly weird things people come up with surrounding it.
This thread serves as a way to keep people just sane enough to keep looking, but just insane enough to have some fun doing it!
Thinking about merope...
Let's make some facts about the sys it self....
- Only 1 moon is diferent visualy.
-Only 4 moons have volcanism (all iron magma)

Is this a normal sound from the wave scanner, I can't say I remember it, almost like static from a distant radio

You can just go back to Obsidian that's not even a problem but if you are talking about systems outside Merope then yes that would make sense.

Maybe the statement that you'll know for sure means, it has some effect on the ship/srv like the UA degrades modules, but this is like x10 as strong
Reading about barnacles growing on ship wrecks (though I don't agree with it) I thought of an experiment:
Land in some misty dark place in Pleiades, turn off everything, but lifesupprt and just leave your ship for a few days - maybe barnacles will grow on it

I found this very interesting, may be nothing but still interesting to read.

The Greek poet Hesiod mentions the Pleiades several times in his Works and Days. As the Pleiades are primarily winter stars, they feature prominently in the ancient agricultural calendar. Here is a bit of advice from Hesiod:
"And if longing seizes you for sailing the stormy seas,when the Pleiades flee mighty Orion and plunge into the misty deep and all the gusty winds are raging,then do not keep your ship on the wine-dark sea but, as I bid you, remember to work the land."(Works and Days 618-23)

Not conclusive either way IMO. In my own research and looking back at the previous threads, there is no recognizable pattern... but that doesn't necessarily mean there isn't one.
From my own research, some of which is confirmed by old threads, after-the-fact:
-Purrs are either hi or low. easier to recognize when sped up, but not required.
-Purrs are exactly the same "notes" before scooping. After scooping, purrs gradually increase in pitch until UA dies (but still form hi/low sequences). possibly related to UA decay.
-Before scooping, there are 2-3 purrs per set. Afterwards, there are 6-8 purrs per set. Sometimes the last purr is somewhat obscured by the howl. Also the first purr can sometimes be quieter than the rest.
-The howls always alternate between 2 distinct types, e.g., it's always [purrs > howl A > purrs > howl B > purrs > howl A > purrs > howl B] etc and it doesn't matter if it's been scooped or not.
-First UA I recorded had one sequence of hi/low notes. 2nd UA (in a different system) had a different sequence. Not sure if this is significant or not. I personally haven't tried retrieving a UA and taking it anywhere else and recording it for the purrs, although I think others have done so.
-There may be a "begin transmission" purr close or on top of the first howl. There seems to be an "end of transmission" purr immediately before the UA dies. UA#1 end-note was opposite that of UA#2 end-note.
The testing I did to determine the above, was completed at the location the UA's were found in the "shell". Didn't transport them anywhere.
