Yep, I'm convinced it is.

That's cool man, no problem
No idea what you do at your work place but try not to lash out on a game forum at people throwing any ideas around - I think we all need to appreciate that is what Elite is, even if we all take this game quite seriously
(probably to the amusement of Lord Braben himself).I've got to head back and get a new ship on the go - my AspX just hasn't got the spare room for more toxic resistant cargo racks + millions of spare SRVs, so I'll go get more artefacts in a stripped-down jump-conda and try more experiments to appease myself and others

OK, just posting this here for posterity...
When I proposed a (rejected) CG a while back to collect Unknown Artefacts for research,, aside from anything such as plot development or, I really wanted a CG where instead of being the usual "Hoik 700t of gold per cutter run 4 jumps away"... it would be "Hoik no more than 20t of highly corrosive cargo 200LY lest you blow your canopy in one pulse"... y'know... a really challenging cargo haul!
With the variety of corrosive unknown materials at the various large wreckages that could easily fill 20+ tonnes of cargo capacity....
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S GOOD IN THE WORLD FRONTIER DEVELOPMENTS, IF IT'S UNTENABLE FOR A PLAYER FACTION TO RUN THIS SORT OF CG BECAUSE OF IT'S TIE-INS TO STORY, DRAW THIS UP FOR PROF. PALIN TO RUN!
Seriously. This would be an amazingly exciting CG to run this kind of cargo 200+LY. Prof. Palin is under close watch by the Feds, so it's untenable for players to run it to his facility in Maia, so have him go through a contact in the bubble. Back when I'd haul 25t+ of UAs, it was a major thrill timing your jumps right and hoping on the run back in-system that your cargo-hatch or canopy didn't get one-shot. It would make me a very happy Jmanny if this happened.
And, y'know, if a player faction wants to run this, SEF is always happy to run a paired bounty-security-CG for it, for a cut of the research *cough*talktomeandwellwritesomething*cough*

Nice photo,but look at anything in particular?
I guess the ship clipping through?
Where can I find the surface coords for the other active sites mentioned in the Galnet article? (EDIT: nvm, too tired to understand the concept of the Front Page.)
Also, is there some special trick or dance I need to do to find UPs? I've been to three of the known spawning locations and done dozens of orbits and found nothing.

Just re-reading the Ancient Temple data from Dreamstate's excellent theories which postulate that the Thargoids started as an advanced biological AI (possibly combat orientated) created by the Guardians.
.
Highly recommend reviewing the Historic and Technological sections HERE.

Wow talk about passing out, long night last night. Anyways, just saw that the site takes relics, what about the unknown resing, biological and technological samples, have those been tried?
Even I, wrote "accepted" on the FP: that's because the Device at first seems to accept the Relics, that means that it puts them in place, inside those floating containers with beams, as it does with Artifacts and Probes and family.
Only after scanning it, it goes mad....
If you scan the center of the device, it should reset; dropping whatever is currently being held by the tendrils.
.
When you go into the UL room with both UA and UP, the UL's will drop from the slots. I had to shoot them to release the tendrils and create a scoopable version.
.
As we do these tests and I run into frustrations with the UI, I try to think of our limited ability to interact with this world; shoot, scoop, scan, jettison, honk, push, EMP.

Perhaps if a group permanently removed the federal blockade?
The reaction reminded me of playing "Operation" and hitting the walls trying to take pieces out. So many combinations to try if it accepts other Guardian parts.Even I, wrote "accepted" on the FP: that's because the Device at first seems to accept the Relics, that means that it puts them in place, inside those floating containers with beams, as it does with Artifacts and Probes and family.

If you activate the unknown device before all 3 pieces are in place it will just eject the rest so that is your way of getting things back
