Key will be when individuals graphics cards load the image. After that you can see quite high I'm sure.
Doesn't look like it is mist related nor darkness related.
What are tge chances that someone is going to anger the Barnacles (Thargoids) by shooting it?

Lol when some of the regulars come online they're going to be in shock, CONGRATS TO THE GUY WHO FOUND THEM!
I'm incredibly happy to have some finally discovered and I'm heading over there at speed, I wonder where things go from here?
One thing's for sure, there's LOTS of science to be done

So what are the characteristics of Merope 5C.
We'll obviously have to see if we can find another one there but it'd be good to use the planet as a guide to the next one.

There is a glitch that I reported here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=222440&p=3393141#post3393141
basically log off and back on and keep doing it and hopefully they'll show up
The key so far was sandy craters.
Have an idea, but don't know if this was done before. But let's put all speculations aside and try to look at this logically using only the game as a source of all information (with some knowledge of astronomy, astrophysics, chemistry and hints from Mr. Brookes of course). 
"So stay awhile and listen"
Did someone tried to group same types of planets together with comparing their data between themselves? If so, are there some suspicious candidates? For example unusually high temperature due to the distance from parental star etc. I know that high G planets are searched intensively for some time, because they are few and not so common, so possible winners there.
Maybe this will yield more candidates. I think it's quite clear that manually placed barnacles will be placed on some very eye catching place on the surface and that the body may be somehow special (visually or statistically).
Opinions? Thoughts?

"So stay awhile and listen"
- More or less, we all have some experience with exploring and have some knowledge about common properties of planetary bodies.
- We have been given rough location - Pleiades nebula.
- All systems within the nebula were visited, scanned and spreadsheets were made with the gathered data.
- Systems with no "landable" planets were discarded.

No, MB said it doesn't matter whether you are open, solo or in group.
No sound, except for a little ambience from the main structure/barnacle
Once you redrop the meta-alloy, it's in the red narcotics canister.
EDIT: listening to the main barnacle at max volume, pretty eerie. Pretty much what you want an alien structure to sound like. Lots of high pitched hums and low pitched hums. Not quite like an UA

Nice! So someone may have flew right past them
Wow, congrats to the locating CMDR!
"organic structure" upon targeting the barnacle - so it seems these are living things, the meta alloy mining fragment looks very egg-like too. I can't help but feel destroying these and harvesting their goodies might come back to bite us! Not that I wouldn't have shot them all up and harvested the valuables if I found them first. In the name of science of course

World boss? :O
Sarlacc meets half life? I scared now....
EDIT: The SRV's weren't randomly blowing up... Termors... freaking Tremors.
