Merope 5c and see if it can be use as a compass.
Seriously after looking at the videos of the UP's glitching on the ground, I highly doubt it should be put on the ground...
I'm circumnavigating the galaxy and visiting a ton of nebula. Is there any one nebula or place that someone wants me to visit or experiment with?
It may be unscientific but this is how the first Barnacle was discovered. You may be on to something.

Try to drive through the part that has the secret hidden item. That would be immensely helpful.
Funny
Had me amused all morning, this comment 
Wonder of us SOLO players are smegged again and if anything is even going to show up if we did look.
Anything to do with the COMMS chatter in this video: [video=youtube;f0QL1B0alxM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0QL1B0alxM&t=10s[/video] ?
Should we focus on the song of the UP? Or is that a kind troll?

maybe we should dance ?
Welcome back Kerrash, nice to "sing" you again
Be careful with what you say, remember?
Cheers!
Odd question whilst I prep to land, has anyone thought about triangulating the barnacles on Merope 5C? I believe there's been 3 found so far? What I've noticed since this thing has started is that the barnacles have a slight 'tilt' to them, kinda lop sided. I was wondering if maybe you triangulated from the 3 sites we know of, do they converge on a point on the surface at all? I've worded this poorly so I'll go over it once I'm firm on the ground.
Michael refers to the Barnacles only being in Nebula as "quite logical if you think about it". Question is, are they extracting materials to make Meta-Alloys (pretty likely I'd say) and is this particulate they're venting waste product or does it have another function? If it's just waste product, is it this particulate vented material that comprises the dust cloud that creates the nebulae in the first place? If this is true, then they've been there a very, very, long time.
I'm unsure where Pat has found his but I've seen a convoy near the planet with the planetary base by the B star. Its name currently eludes me. Its the same one Riz initially found a convoy by. The convoy probably spawns anywhere in the system it just has more chance to spawn by places that have more convoy spawns.
Mykl Atrum, who I know is active on the forums, has found one in that general area. I believe Pat's came from somewhere near the main star or near volkynov outpost.

Looking at Ecthelion's video of the UP on the planet surface I have a couple of observations
1) it appears to try to orient itself since it is falling vertically (smaller bulb downwards) but lands almost horizontally.
2) there appears to be an impact detection bug with it that should be reported, since it disappears below the surface before bobbing back up (assume this is a bug!!!)
3) possibly the same bug appears to prevent it orienting itself properly. It does appear to take up a compass bearing but as it's attempting to rotate it is not quite making it & snaps back. To me this could suggest that it is attempting to take up a preferred position.
Wonder what would happen if UPs are dropped in different orientations. if it landed larger bulb downwards would it plant itself to become a barnacle?
It would be nice to nudge one on the surface & see (a) if it is acting as a compass and (b) whether it would correct its attitude & maybe trigger some behaviour.
