I'm trying to get more people interested in the Yellow Crates as well.

Try to Meta Alloy Mission section, theres a walkthrough with screenshots of squiggsy's experience.
Found it, reputable Commander as well, I so reason to doubt its validity.
I would recommend adding the alt. mission text into a spoiler box under the main Meta-Alloy mission text.
Very tinfoil hat....
Could Caine Massey have been a shadow corporation trying to reuse old thargoid/alien tech to generate new weapons / defenses and it 'got away from them' and started getting out of control / because of its semi-organic nature ... could have intelligence
It's all already there, on the second post![]()
I did mention a little while ago...
Could the C logo on the Barnacle relate to Caine Massey?
The Anaconda was carrying crates of materials to deliver to the Barnacle when it crashed.

edit: ah I see you've seen it!
I see it, but why do the logos have the wrong faction names under them?![]()
I did not realize that went on in so many stages. I just saw the first mission update when you posted it originally. Looks like a "test" of multi-stage missions?
Has any "adjuster" or another NPC come after you with any interesting text after that last cryptic message?
[h=3] Alien 'Barnacles' Discovered in the Pleiades[/h]15 JAN 3302
Dr Arcanonn of the Canonn Interstellar Research Group has released a statement in response to the discovery of non-human structures in the Pleiades Nebula:
"This is a momentous day – alien structures have been confirmed on at least two planets in the Pleiades Nebula! I must congratulate Commander Octo, who made the initial discovery on Merope 5c, and thank Commander Snax, who contacted me. Within minutes, Canonn scientists and other commanders were at the site."
"We now know of multiple barnacles on Merope 5c, and the corrupted message recently received in Maia has led us to many more on Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2."
"I can confirm that these structures produce meta-alloys, emit a sound similar to that made by the Unknown Artefacts, and bear mysterious markings that we have yet to identify. Some commanders have reported malfunctions near the structures, which might explain the crashed ships found near many of the barnacles."
Commander Lord Zoltan
Could that symbol be a stylized G and C?
Read a bit about the thargoid stuff from F:FE and the wiki said, that "GalCop" had some sweet tech.
In game GalNet reporting that Meta Alloys have helped out at Obsidian Orbital!!
Not on community site yet though.
Not yet, but I've been sat on Merope farming meta-alloys to deliver to the boys in the lab back at Bond Hub, if they do come after me they'll probably do it once I'm flying with MA's in the hold, we'll have to wait and see
The logo on the side of the barnacles strikes me as a very human thing to do. And then we have the UA transmissions - aliens don't use morse code. I'm convinced humans are somehow responsible for both.
Where might you find humans that have been isolated for so long that they've cooked up their own weird branch of bio-engineering technology using alien life forms? Who might use an uninhabited nebula as their insignia?
Generation ships.
