the server crashed i think the same thing happned to me when deploying the srv
Well, I just lost connection to the Frontier server and got kicked out of the game. From my end it now looks like the servers are down, so it may be that.
I probably shouldn't have mailed that UA to Brookes.
I had this happen to me on Pleione 3 A on stream yesterday

That's odd, because I've probably spent 5-6 hours on Atlas B3 between last night and this morning.
I knew it, as soon as we got close FD pulled the plug!
Allright...
I have been sitting on Merope 1 A landed for 2 hours now, waiting for the full eclipse, the fog and... barnabies or whatever they are called.
So it get's dark, I start my engines to check POIs at 2 km height, but all of a sudden it puts me up to 112 km with "A permit is required to land here"!?! WTB?
Even stranger, because 1 hour ago I did the same, just going straight up with landing gear deployed and straight down again?!?
Going to try again now, because if I read it right and its not just a complete bug, something might have been triggered somewhere...
(Hope dies last!)

Yeah, servers are down. Maybe they're adding/fixing something? One can hope.
Ok, I've had enough. My eyes feel like they're bleeding and I now can't access Atlas B3 any more for some reason.
Off to pick up the ExplorerConda for the Distant Worlds trip.
I'll keep an eye on the thread, but good luck everyone. I sincerely hope one of you gets lucky and finds paydirt

I have just landed on a new planet at a POI. I put the SRV out and it crashed
... Ehm... Bananacles, please
(If you've been reading this thread for around 4 days, you'll be getting a serious sense of déjà vu. I'm trying to go all post-post-modern here. Although, by 3302 it'll probably be known as post12.84-modern)

while the servers are down....
Thank you
What do you mean by volatiles? Do you mean the breakdown of composition? If its listed in the description I can add it. Maybe not tonight though
Oh and NEVER buy exploration data from the Galaxy Map, its {redacted}.
Volatiles are mentioned in the description of the planet/moon. An icy planet will mention that there are large amounts trapped as solids etc. They consist of the gases nitrogen, hydrogen and ammonia, amongst others.
Crucially they are what makes a crater misty and give the surface of Maia A7 what looks like and is, really, a thin atmosphere. Along with metal content and being tidally locked to a star (only one constant fixed light source), they may be part of the key to solving this. Misty craters tend to form on the edge of the light/dark zone.
This gives less area to search. Planets tidally locked to another planet will still receive light to it's entire surface, at some point, except the poles (which could still be searched as possible sites).
So, a micro-atmosphere in a misty crater, for respiration, a source of metal from the planet to grow, heavy elements from the nebula and the right temperature may be what is needed for these barnacles to thrive. I believe the planet where all this comes together is out there, in the Pleiades.
MB has stated that Merope is NOT where barnacles should be looked for. What is not present at Merope is obviously something (singular, or plural) that is needed by the barnacle to thrive.
I have started eliminating types of planets and narrowing the search. Where they wouldn't be, is just as important as where they might be. They aren't at Merope.
Thanks again for all your hard work, as you have saved me a lot of time. I was working and still am working, with a notebook which is rapidly filling up with scribbles!
Same crash here was exploring Pleione with a friend we found a large automated mining site we wanted to loot the site and than suddenly bam goodbye servers.

And good luck to you and everyone else on the DWE - an inspirational journey on the cards. And we thank you for your efforts, CMDR o7
Instead of "Cannot connect to transaction server" there should be "Implementing barnacles into the game now".
I can get behind that. The great Bananarcle search of 2016. Prior to this I was thinking this operation should be called the "Hunt for Red Barnactober", because it sure as hell feels like the only way we're going to find the damn Barnacle is if it starts singing the Soviet anthem
