Where can I get meta alloys now?

CMDR Michael Dodds · Aug 24, 2016

Greetings Commanders,

So, where on earth can I get meta alloys now? They were only on the commodities market for a short time whilst there was a bug with the barnacles and now I've just been to 6 known barnacle sites, all wrecked.

Fly safe,

I bought them from a station on the planet in the Maia system on Monday night (UK time). There were none available from the space stations.

I think Meta Alloys are sold from Darnielle's Progress, a land base at Maia A2 a.

Unless they were removed recently from the local commodities market, last time i went there they were sold for 100k credits and had a suply of 6 or 7.

They were at Darniels(sp?) In the Maia system on the planet the station orbits. I could only buy 6. This was 48 hours ago.

Does anybody know how to get lots of Meta- Alloys?

Yes stay dock on the station wait some time, buy more; repeat

Its 6 every ten minutes. But close the menu each time or they wont load up

Odd, I went to Darnielle's Progress first before the barnacles. Didnt have any in stock. Will have to take another look. Are they coloured different on the commodities screen like a rare?

No, they are in industrial metals section. Normal colour.
.
And oddly enough, allocation JUST changed to 11 from 6 (my last two allocations were 11). Also of note, you can use a 9 minute timer. Usually refreshed after 9 minutes or very close to it.

Right, ok. You can't buy them. Here is a list of all known barnies

Darnelle's Progress I got some last week

OP - you used to be able to see pristine barnacles if you went into Solo. Not sure if that still works, but FYI.

It didn't for me, at least at Merope.

Trade markets are affected by system states and other BGS factors. Depending on the state of the faction controlling Darnelle's Progress, the allocation of meta-alloys sometimes temporarily increases, decreases, or even vanishes entirely for a few days.
