Doesn't look like we'll need a Beta thread (especially as it is an Open beta), though I suppose if 'certain systems' are unlocked....
it isn't

If Barnacles were just on planets rich in Arsenic then that would make sense but they arn't just on planets rich in Arsenic.
From the new patch notes (Beta 2.3.10):
Installations/POIs/USSs
- Fixed an issue whereby the Technology 06 codex entry was missing from Ancient Ruins
Well better late than never, Ram Tah is going to be popular soon and maybe a bit skint.
I want to be happy the ruins mission is actually able to be completed now... but it really took six months to fix? Considering we it never would've even been known had the mission not been "solved" through the use of the Open/PG modeswitching bugs, resulting in Ram Tah's scanner mods to find them easier... all I can really hope is that FD has taken a long hard look at all the issues that essentially wrecked what should have been a great exploration experience in the game, and have learned from them for whatever comes in the future.
Something something bah humbug get off my lawn, but it's hard to get excited by this news.

How can we "drop arsenic" or any material ?
Hi Commanders.
I've been trying to program a Python program to work out when the alien ship encounters might happen. Here is a screenshot of the output:
Basically, it says alien encounters happen from 1:31 to 2:00, from 9:31 to 10:00 and from 17:31 to 18:00 each day.
Another Commander (I'm not sure who) said the alien encounters happened around the half hour. My program output supports that.
I'm not a great programmer, so it might not be accurate.
Hope it's useful, and fly safe CMDRs.

Edit: The hour on the bottom section should be increased by 1. I don't know how I didn't spot that. Also, this is for Solo mode.

you ninjad me!!
I was using Arsenic as an example, I need to go over the planets where barnacles are located and compare and contrast the minerals native to the planets across the board, as well as shooting the barnacles and outcroppings to determine if there are anomalies in what is available for us on planet. For instance perhaps the barnacles are able to drop a mineral not naturally found on that particular planet.
that will be my first task once i log in! if you can jettison cargo why not materials?
Given that the alien-ship-sucking-energy-thing lifts rocks, Scarabs (and ships??) off the ground, is it actually factoring in the planet's correct gravity? I don't think it'd teach us anything in any way - but it'd be fun to watch if small ships are lifted on low-G planets, or if SRV were dropped like an anvil on high-G worlds.

"Jettison" is the same thing than "discard" ?
It's just a question, as my "Englich iz teribble "
And you may find this useful: (use the barnacle materials tab)

kind of, but its only used when throwing or dropping something specifically from an aircraft or ship ....... I think!

Anyway, if it works, you may have found the way for us to trade materials.
But, alas, I don't think so...
Only problem with these fancy Canonn ruin maps is they don't show where the ancient items are - just spent 20 minutes hooning around an Alpha site looking for an Orb so I can verify Tech 6 in Beta to no avail . Time for a break!

I was just looking over that, quite interesting! I can cross reference some of the planets with EDSM which has drop rates for materials on some planets.
well back to the drawing board again.

If you do manage to find if its fixed do let us know, i was planning on doing that this weekend in addition to the beta only cg's. alas there is only so much time in a day.

That doesn't help much unless you could tell us which time zone the times are for.... is it in-game time?
While I like the idea of using base 36, I don't get how you think base 3 can encode numbers 0-7.
In my eyes, base 3 is the counting system that goes 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22, 100, 101, 102, etc. How does that logically produce 0..7?
