Neutralising the Unknown Artefact Threat CG guide

Neutralising the Unknown Artefact Threat
.
Professor Ishmael Palin with the backing of The Pioneer's Cooperative, has once again issued a request for meta-alloys:

CG is available at Obsidian Orbital in Maia, Looks like the reward for this CG will be a new module!

Meta Alloys and how they can be found
.
Meta Alloys are harvested from 'Barnacles' found on the surface of planets in and around the Pleiades Nebula (Horizons required)
Meta alloys are obtained by shooting the spires surrounding the main barnacles structure, only two of these spires contain meta alloys see pics below
Known locations where Barnacles can be found (provided by netslayers spreadsheet here):

Dear Sir!
Can you please stop your shameless lenghty advertisings with their shiny holographics (or at least send simple text messages to interested CMDRs); they use far too much bandwith on my much-strained GALNET connection here on the dark side of Merope 5 C!!!!
Thanks for your cooperation in advance :)

Very interesting reward.. what's the benefit in being able to carry a UA. Making another high-value rare available? A "collect UA" CG? Or maybe an exotic drive system that requires them? :)
 
So the Global reward suggests new equipment will be unlocked ne?

Unfortunately I am too far out to help but keep to see where this leads to 2.1 and beyond with extra equipment types coming

I already proposed a CG for collecting UAs, but it got rejected because it was too similar to the meta-alloys CG which hadn't been announced at that point, but was announced a few days after it's rejection.

Half the fun in trying to collect UAs is the corrosion, so a corrosion-resistant cargo rack would, well, make it less fun I guess.

collect stuff
kill things
can someone design a CG that is not like the 50 precious ones please?

Issue is, you're limited in the interactions players can do. Which roughly boils down to collecting things, or killing things. Anything else would require the design of a new game mechanic which is a more significant overhead.

I am hoping that each tier will add 1 ton of cargo room, max at tier 8 with 8 tonnes.

Anyway, current progress is about 2400 tonnes delivered and at 84 tonnes I was in the top 10 commanders. I bet i will not stay there for long ;)

I think they will go up in class so tier 1 is a class 1 rack 1 ton, Tier 2 is class 2 with 2 tonnes, Tier 3 is class 3 with 4 tonnes , Tier 4 is class 4 rack with 8 tonnes, ect
 
By the by, this corrosion resistant cargo rack - useful also for toxic waste and the kin, or just for UA?

Edit: thought to make my way to the CG, but at this rate ... I wonder if I'll get there before the event is done - too many "unknown" object en route :D *scanner spinning at background*

Only toxic waste and UA currently cause corrosion, but who knows what weird and wonderful things will be added in future ;)
