Possibly expected us to find free-floaters faster than convoys were found.
If so, it suggests their location is reasonably obvious, or easy to find at least.

Byee! Have fun!
oh my you're so right

The easiest place I would think to look is somewhere in the Pleiades, right with the UA. That also makes sense as to why the feds already have them
Just had a chance to do some sketches now that I am home from work to disprove some ideas I had earlier
1 - The Isosceles triangle represented by the secants is NOT a golden triangle (θ is 28 degrees, not required 32). Golden Ratio can not fit a logarithmic spiral here to identify an endpoint. Suggest we forget about φ for now.
2 - The length of the arc bounded by the two secants is approx 0.49 radii (could be error in my drawing here - might be 0.5 radii)
3 - The length of the large arc is 1.57 radii
4 - The length of the secants is 0.64 radii
Circumference + diameter etc can obviously just be worked out using 2πr and 2π. If only we knew what the radius was Could be something in Merope (e.g. orbits, distance to sun etc) or it could be to do with the UA shell (e.g. distaince from shell to merope)... or it could be something totally different.
Radii of small -|| arcs are 0.33 and 0.54 radii respectively.

Have fun and don't forget the postcard
Oooh, I didn't consider this possibility. Looks like I was the one jumping to conclusions this time.

I did ask on the Active CGs thread, but Steve hasn't replied yet, so I did also ask Frontier Help on Twitter whether they really meant to include the line about being a 'home to a number of barnacles' and this was the response I've just received.
"Oh that does seem a bit off. Maybe the Feds have gone a bit mad. Can you report this on our bugs forum please?
- CMDR Falcon"
I'm about to create the bug report now.

Great job Ozric, we will soon have an answer I hope
I was just about to go there, so I will hold off for now I guess
Couldn't you submit it as a GalNet post from a Canonn researcher?
I think it's a good idea which fits in very well with lore and what might be incoming in the game.

CAN CONFIRM THAT TIDAL LOCKING IS NOT WORKING AS INTENDED ON MEROPE 2A.
Logged off a few hours ago directly (to within a km or so) in Opposition of Merope 2, on the surface of 2A... (As in M2 is at the centre of the planet) M2 is now 90+ degrees up in the sky. This is a complete joke, as that simply IS NOT THE WAY TIDAL LOCKING WORKS. What's going on here? Something to do with the update?

Stick in a bug report, then you should find out if it is working as intended...
Thanks for the info, caps not required though. Please file a bugreport.
M2A should be locked to M2.
You probably should take screenshots from SRV inc Lat & Long - then tomorrow, log back on and screenshot again.
I'm sure they would be able to see it from their end surely? it is quite a large error with the stellar forge?
Darned upsetting when you have a detailed hypothesis to follow. Ruined my research today. Bah!
With the recent tip from MB about the AU/UP being space based and the transmission from ship about transporting NHE for orbital testing, I'm going out on a limb and saying the top left side of the UP image is meant to be a symbol of doing that part from orbit. Perhaps this gives better insight to the other pieces. I think the last part with the same MB tip, that the last part is landing, which jives with the symbol in lower left.

As read so far, the numbers are 2, 3, 1, 4
Polarity flipped, that would make the numbers 5, 4, 3, 6
LSB order first, the numbers would be 2, 6, 1, 4
LSB order and polarity flipped, the numbers would be 5, 1, 6, 3
Occam's Razor makes me think the obvious answer is the correct one. Plus an alien intelligence would try and make a signal decodable, just as humans have done in the various probe plaques and SETI messages. We're not dealing with a vastly unusual alien intelligence here, I mean, I've sent them pizza...
