Yeah, we need lots of eyes, and ideally at least 3 cmdrs on each gridzone. The grid should be used as a reference, that's why I included the number of times a place has been surveyed.

Weird theory time:
The probe was found in Ross 47. Ross 47 is in the Orion constellation.
Barnacles have what it seems to be a depiction of Barnard's loop. Barnard's loop is in the Orion constellation.
In Greek mythology, the Pleiades were chased by Orion.
The link between Orion and the Pleiades maybe this one: the barnacles are a different race than the artifact/probes. As we are looking for the barnacles, so the civilization behind the probes/barnacles is doing the same. Maybe the Farraguts have been displaced to protect the barnacles from a possible incoming visit?

If there is something crashed on 5c it could be anywhere on the planet, but if its something put there on purpose, broadcasting... It is probably not in a canyon or crater. It's probably somewhere higher like a mountain peak or something. Tough if it is strong enough to transmit LYs away maybe some rocks wont bother it. Or maybe its the whole planet... Have you listened to it? Its so creepy. As if the whole planet is breathing and whaling.

That would suggest that the Federation is well aware of the race of artifacts/probes and have met them and know that they are hostile against the barnacles. That would be a great coverup. And if this was the case they won't let random pilots carry those artifacts around inhabited space. That would be illogical. But it is entirely possible for the barns/arts/probes to be of different origin. Maybe different races that use similar bio-engineering technology.
Nice name/avatar btw! *groans*

Yeah, I've found 2 of these on Merope 5C in the past couple of days. What I have noticed is that the audio seems different to the old "broken morse" that they used to give. I don't know whether this is just new audio for 2.1 in general, or specific to those on Merope 5C. I'm now off to find one ouside the Pleiades to see if it's still the old audio or the new one... will post again here as soon as I know.
Edit: for the record one is Fed, the other is Empire. However, in my experience, this is nothing unusual.

Federal Condor, small fighter
Found 3 probes on merope 5c last night.. also a crashed ship with lots of escape pods. Nothing more.
This is a Condor. It can be seen in CQC simulation, near stations (as defense) and as fighters for capital class ships.
This is the running joke of the entire operation.
Been finding these crashed all over the surface of Merope 5c. It's almost as if the Farragut is just firing its condors like missiles at the planet, hoping to kill any alions before they can mount an invasion.
These three things (crashed nav beacons/probes, condors, and wrecks with escape pods and occasionally cargo) are the only things I think have been reported on Merope 5c except for the very rare Barnacle.
The above quotes pretty aptly sum up the entire operation so far.
...LRA redux?
Okay.. Theory time. As I was reading forums and catching up with my coffee this morning. I ran across another post about the Tip Off mission leading them to Izanami and the crashed Anaconda. This is the ONLY tip off I've seen about a crashed conda. And multiple people have gotten it now, correct? And this site just happens to have a UA at it.
Izanami? In Japanese mythology, Izanami-no-Mikoto, also given as 伊弉冉尊 or 伊邪那美命, meaning "she who invites" is a goddess of both creation and death, as well as the former wife of the god Izanagi-no-Mikoto.
A goddess of creation and death. Thanatos is death. Halsey claims to have seen the architects of creation. Coincidence?

Strong Japanese Tinfoiling!
Nope, travelled away from the UA shell to find one, and the audio is the same as that on Merope 5C so it is just a change in the audio of the probe. If there is any morse in it, I can't hear it for the background chatter noise. Back in 2.0 you could easily make out the letters "B.R.O.K.E.N" in a non-consecutive, seemingly random order. Now I can't here any morse characters at all, just a noise that sounds a little like interference on a radio and some chittering that could be attempts at morse, but not easily recognisable.
Or just gods in general. Maybe that whole.. The gods of our past were really just aliens thing? Lol.
I think I'm getting insane. I was flying on low altitude @ Merope 5C looking for something suspicious, until I found a bright light kilometers away. I was like: OMGFGJKDSHKSAFJKAJDSFA and I boosted up wards to get a better view, until I was about 2KM from the surface it looked like the light was coming from another planet nearby, I kept boosting to get an even better view and I got really disappointed... The light was a star shining through a ring from another planet. I think I should take break for a while.
The gods sent us to earth because the got afraid of their own creation. Now even their prisson guards hve leaft earth in fear.
It's the same thing we did with the AI.
I dont know if this has been reported but On my approach to Merope 5C I noticed something odd about its orbit rather than orbitting on a similar plane to its rings it appears to be orbitting "over the top of Merope". May be nothing but it does suggest there is something unusual about 5C

Thats a terrifying thought. Then they come back looking for help against the insane AI taking over the galaxy?
