Jupp.
I hope everyone are keeping their eyes open for missions or 'Commodity descriptionss' for the UPs.
Maybe there are some clues about them in the latest trailer? i watched it a couple times, but haven't found anything yet.
I am now on my way back to the shell. If these probes are related to the artefacts, they might be found in the same systems the artefacts are in.
Or maybe they are in these shell systems where we could not find any UAs, because they have crashed on a planet?
And on another side, it would be great if FD could add some extra time in QA to ensure that these probes are actually in the game and findable (sorry for little rant
)

My thoughts were the same as yours with this.... my results were also the same unfortunately...
Orion was the same.
I am currently in the shell system HYADES SECTOR HW-W C1-8, 145.95LY from Merope.
I detail scanned the whole system and traveled through it for over an hour and no sign of an UA (other USS spawned, like weapons fire, distress call, degraded emissions).
Now I wonder, prior to 2.1, did every shell system had an UA? From my memories i would say yes, but i could be wrong.
Anyway, I am going down on the planets now, seeing if an UA has crashed down.

Who will pay for the insurance for this?
This Barnacle spike jumped out in front of me....

Edit
This is at Pleione 11 A, 2.3189 177.2434. I had landed earlier and then logged out. When I came back the whole Barnacle structure was floating off the ground. When I approached it (I was about to fly under it) it appeared at ground level except for this one spike.
As you can see I can intermesh with it. When I landed and logged out and then came back the structure was again floating but on approach all moved to its proper position on the ground this time. However, the same spike on the ground can be pushed in to.

I think that's a crashed ship
I've got a summary of the usual materials for each of the known barnacle systems on the first tab of the sheet Chopper and I are using. You've probably already got it in the Monster.
For a short time, MB has made meta-alloys available as a commodity at Darnielles Progress in Maia. Price is way above market rate, but it is a way to get an MA if you need one to gain favour with Felicity Farseer.
Or ask around. There's a number of Cmdrs with spare MAs who are prepared to help a fellow explorer out with a handout.
Finished my tour of the barnacles on PLEIADES SECTOR IH-V C2-16 C 4

Your results match and confirm what Chopper and I have seen, so that's great. Thank you!Barnacle tour so far on PLEIADES SECTOR JC-U B3-2 1 near the Anaconda crash site

what about Antal?
I hear he's in bed playing the sims and day dreaming. Meanwhile the Utopians are making the galaxy a safer place and are at the fore front of powers as explorers, colonists, and researchers of stuff for Science!

We need a side market for organic responsibly farmed meta-alloys. I'm not sure I want to be around when the owners find them like that....Thought I'd go scan the some barnacles, since that's a thing now (and it seems pretty harmless), and this is the first time I've personally seen a broken barnacle:

I feel sorry for the poor thing, all wrecked like that.
There still seemed to be one or two forlorn fireflies drifting around the broken spires.

Barnacle status update [29 May 3302]
Originally posted at http://canonn.science/2016/05/29/barnacle-status-update-29-may-3302/
Cmdr Chopper has been asking around for help with identifying which of the Pleiades Barnacles have changed status with the release of 2.1. I felt I could help with that project so we’ve been collaborating for the last couple of days on surveying each and every known Barnacle location listed in Netslayer’s excellent Pleiades systems sheet.
What we’ve done is characterise the appearance, the number of spikes and if there are any defences. The results of the initial survey can be found in our Pleaides Barnacle Materials & Locations sheet. All props to Cmdr Chopper for the initial project concept and collecting the majority of the data in the sheet.
To summarise:
Intact Barnacles with NO defences
Intact Barnacles WITH defences
I should also point out that intact doesn't mean it is giving out meta-alloys. They're bugged at the moment, so MB has said that MAs can be bought at Darnielle's Progress in Maia. At WAY over market price.

To summarise:
- there are 6 Barnacle locations that are intact and have NO defences of any kind.
- there are 9 Barnacle locations that are intact and have defences of some sort.
- the rest of the 31 Barnacles are all in a destroyed state.
- the intact Barnacles without defences had 17 spikes.
- the intact Barnacles with defences had 12 spikes.

It's been fun!

Some interesting findings.
.
We've listed how many spikes each barnacles have (12 or 17, when less than this we've checked and they do clip underground when they aren't visible above ground). So far only 12 and 17 spiked barnacles have been found.
.
We've detailed which are "alive", which have had their spikes destroyed and which ones are guarded with either drones or drones AND turrets. We've also started adding photos of each site to the database but that's a wok in progress. About 50% done. All barnacle data is up to date and accurate.
.
Spreadsheet = (with tabs at the bottom breaking down each barnacle location) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bWITzZmYMYqwXqX5NHw02tyCGd7IFcfHpjYGeZL9GHQ/edit?usp=sharing

has anyone been out to bernard's loop and horsehead nebula to check out the new permit locked dark region area? I have been checking for any systems I visited there prior to the update and so far nothing interesting on the system maps.
There's a possibility that this is just them fixing the systems where various nebulae vanish. It'd be a bit obvious otherwise.... but still anything's possible
Fantastic work there Chopp3r and Zenith o7
ON THE FRONT PAGE NOW.
Before 2.1 UAs spawned in every system within shell I've been. Now I searched through the few systems in MEL 22 sector (within shell zone) - no luck in finding UA there. Different USS spawned though (convoys of ASP Explorers, wreckages etc). I think The Shell we knew is gone. Maybe it's only reason was to direct us to Merope. I will stay in the former shell zone and scout some more.
I will also investigate this further. There still are UAs in the shell since i already found some in other systems, but there might be "holes" in the shell now. Or it is just the new spawn mechanic for USS making fun of us
Currently i am still down on the planets of that UA-less system, but nothing found so far. Just one f reaking moment where i was back in my ship, after hours of SRV driving far away in complete loneliness, when suddenly a contact appeared on my radar. I nearly got a heart attack. But it was just a vulture, scanned me and jumped away.
The new surface npcs are surely a nice surprise
btw: the planet i am on looks pretty much like hot chocolate.. coincidence?
