Dove Enigma UA bombed, preventing completion of its voyage in time for the man it was named for.

Alright, for anyone wanting to help but has never reversed Thargoid artefact interference or been out to Colonia, it's easy:
1. Get a ship. One that has a good range and lots of cargo space. Anacondas are great for this. Cutters, Corvettes, Pythons, Type-9s, whatever you feel safe flying 22kly in with Meta-Alloys in. We're looking for bulk quantities, hundreds. That'll kick the cr*p out of this.
2. Fly to Darnielle's Progress in the Maia system, the only source for purchasable Meta-Alloys. It's a surface base, just so you know. Meta-Alloys are Industrial Materials and run about 107,000 credits each, so bring your lunch money.
3. Fly to Colonia via the fastest way you feel safe. Here's a list of rest stops along the way.
4. Sell the Meta-Alloys on Dove's Enigma's trade market. You're probably going to take a profit loss.
5. Repeat if necessary.
Feel free to use your biggest ship and bring as many as you can afford, because it'll need that many to stop or reverse it.

Isn't there also a way to collect it at places other than buying it?
From active barnacles, should be a list somewhere on Canonn
With all due respect, there might be a group out there intent on sabotaging what should have been a enjoyable potential final trip for a cmdr, we have no idea how many want to sabotage this.
What it has now turned into is a mad rush to counter the mindless actions of an anonymous group that could be working in solo or a console platform. All because a dev might have innocently included a black market when not necessary, does that sound right to you?
Yes I could get trucking, cancel the million things I have to do in real life tomorrow before I fly abroad, but shouldn't this be looked into by the devs? Was a black market requested, why was a ship commissioned to honour a CMDR given a black market?
This is a game, I think exceptions should be made in certain circumstances. The fact that the devs drop assets into the game every Thursday firmly states that this is not reality ladies and gentlemen. didn't the devs mess up the burning stations recently? Those stations wen't into repair? And didn't a Bar CQC asset appear in game before the CG had finished. Devs are probably overworked, no idea what's going on at the ground level half the time.

Figures. Guess I’ll have to go Barnacle farming. Won’t get anywhere near my 600 ton quota in a reasonable time, though. I’ll grind out as many as I can tonight and head out tomorrow.
I wasn't talking about you, just in general. I quoted a dude wishing that earlier in the thread, there's some on Reddit too. I'm criticising the patronising and demeaning comments, the people who're pretending that outrage is the same as support, and the total disregard for what this dude's actual feelings on the situation are.
Did he feel worse? His opinion is the only one that matters. There's a lots of noise from presumptuous people, little from him.
Here's an excellent thread by PanPiper. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/312632-Meta-Alloy-Ripe-Barnacle-sources
I've used that to gather MAs to repair countless stations.
I've also run tests to see how much will be needed to bring a station back online. This is very doable with a little effort.
If I have to, I'll repair the station by myself, despite the attempts of some who try to discourage me. I hope others will join.

Meta Alloys aren't considered a rare commodity in the same manner as Lavian Brandy or Leestian Evil Juice. As far as I know, there is no purchase cap. Or I've yet to encounter one.
What is the point of this sensationalist thread? The headline isn't even accurate. The ship itself has no voyage to complete. It is where it should be already. The station being UA bombed has absolutely no bearing on the success of the expedition landing and completing its course. UA bombed stations have been resolving themselves across the galaxy after a few weeks for months now. It will lift its state by itself.
That's cool, if it were me (who knows the future?) I'd want a living station that can get UA bombed and hopefully one of the dorks that did it will slip up and get full on lasered by it on their next visit.
I see where you're "trying" to come from, but let's not pretend this is more than it is...
Regardless of the opinion of ANYONE... this is a group of people to decided, on their own, to stop and took time out of their day to actively try to hurt someone.
If it wouldn't bug you specifically, that's awesome, you're tough and I wish you nothing but the best in your fight o7
However, this isn't about you... this is about combating people who would find amusement in actively trying to make someone else suffer (regardless if it worked or not).
I'm not sure how up to date the info is, but I also use this thread, which links to the Barnacle Metasheet.
Phew, that’s a relief. Well, I guess it’s “Colonia, here I come” for me tonight. Never thought I’d head out that far. This should be interesting.
Anywhere out near Colonia to buy an SRV bay for the trip home?
The good ship Are We There Yet? will be setting off to Maia shortly.
Does anyone know of the current availability of MAs at Darnelle?
Sorry for the language; trying to make a point:
FDev, some total twit has decided that playing the game according to its rules is something you should prevent. You created this really nice open-world-sandbox and now its been screwed by idiots.
Pease step in and remove this useless thread. This case is nothing special and doesn´t need to be dealt with at all.
Btw.: Even though I never UA-bombed anything, I feel offended by this kind of language. I thought this forum was for sincere players of a marvellous game and not a place where people come to start swearing at each other. Rumour has it, that this forum is even used by minors, so FDev, a thread starting with this kind of language "needs to be dealt with promptly".

This is a fair point. There's nothing any amount of players can do to shut down this Megaship to stop the Expedition from arriving there safely.
