Well seeing pedantry is de rigeur in this thread, in your step 2 UPs point to Merope 5C, but their signal appears to be destined for Col 70 sector fy-n c21-3 according to Trilateration analysis
Woo, finally made a discovery of my own, very chuffed!

woah how did you find it?
We have deduced that Merope5C and Col 70 sector fy-n c21-3 are important to Thargoids since they are used to code their planetary information transmissions, while UPs physically point to 5C. The frustrating thing is that Col70 is locked so we cant investigate it while nothing has been found (yet) on 5C despite much searching. When anyone finds a UL combination that points to something on 5C please let me know!

1A, planet one is a gas giant. lol

I don't think this is the case. We know that the UPs encode their distances from Col 70, but there isn't evidence (unless I missed it somewhere) that they transmit to Col 70.
great. do you have the transcription for site 9 and site 7?
Paid a visit to the site on Mel 22 Sector YU-F B11-1 AB 5 A without a key to get inside
Judging by the proximity of the Scavengers (on my scanner) to the front door however, I imagine this site is active. Not very scientific but my best educated guess.
Also, the architecture is very dramatic with the arms reaching very high up. Worth a visit.

So, just to make sure I'm caught up:
If I wanted to help discover stuff, I'd need to:
* Get **two** corrosion resistant racks (since I need room for a UP, a UA, and a UL).
* Go find a UP (hard)
* Go find a UA (easy)
* Visit the most recently discovered active site, activate it, record messages and don't delete them from the inbox. (Probably not hard?)
* Go to space, jettison UL, play messages at it, record output.
* Use ??? Wizardry ??? to analyze whatever recording I get back, somehow triangulate that to space coordinates. (No idea how to even begin, this step is likely beyond me)
* As close as I can get to said coordinates, drop the UL in each system and play the corresponding message, hopefully get a beam pointing to a planet.
* Search planet in supercruise to find the thargoid site.
Of course, I suspect that by the time I find a single UP the rest of y'all will have already found the end point of this crazy hunt and defeated the Thargoid Menace once and for all.

You say its important to the goids and yet it could just be there using it to communicate with us on a common ground. Kinda like we will step over your boarders if you step over ours kinda thing

Awesome. We're going to add it to our Canonn reporting site which we're using to map where these are.
There's another explanation for this, a bit convoluted but I had this idea when I saw the FDev artbook and the UA cutaway. I think UAs are human-thargoid hybrid technology, put together to work around the mycoid virus problem. As I see it, the UAs are a derivative of another thargoid tech piece, the Unknown probe (an older reconnaisance device who encodes information in thargoid octal code, as the mothership map machine), designed as a quick workaround to put a warning system for human advances around Pleiades nebula, developed after the thargoid retreat and maybe with human assistance. Human tech incorporated to the UA could help to make it hardened against a mycoid infested envinroment near our bubble, but Thargoid engineers had to make some shorcuts and incorporate a human interface language to make it functional. Also, I think Thargoids requested human help for the initial deployment of the UAs. After that, Thargs managed to make the UPs and his whole technology immune to the mycoid fungus and redeployed it around Pleiades looking for survivors? wreck sites? in the ammonia worlds of the nebula.
So, we have three different thargoid devices: UP, a reconnaissance and long range communication device; UL, a combination of emergency communication system and beacon. And the UP, a short-range hybrid scanning gadget. How did the thargoids collected information from the UAs? why is Merope important?. That's some questions I'd like to know the answer.
EDIT: A couple of days ago, I was pretty sure that UAs were reverse-engineered thargoid tech put together by someone in the bubble as the only way to alert us about the thargoids' return to Pleiades, but... well, the map machines changed my mind. Sorry for my poor english.

Well, what we're driving on is actually the backside of the ship, not the ground itself. The sand below our wheels is most possibly the settled dust from the impact. Furthermore, some seem to have been buried deeper into the ground than others. Or that was my impression at least when taking a birds eye view of the Aries site (#2).

I quite literally went a couple of systems away from another site, noticed it had an ammonia world, went to that world but they're all ice planets so went to the first rocky planet in the system and starting looking around in orbital cruise and noticed a green blob. Just luck I guess!

It is. I got inside
One may be a downed ship that is inactive, the other a fully working Mothership

What if Merope 5c has a massive subterranean compound, and the barnacles are just the part that is exposed?

Nope, not yet, but i'm working on it )
Hey ! There is an instruction on FP, called "COORDINATES CALCULATION METHOD - Math degree needed..."
That dont make sense beacuse then that would make every planet that have a barny have sub compunds
