If anyone has been struggling with finding Meta Alloy I can confirm that you can buy them in the system Maia, on planet Maia A 2 A Obsidian Orbital is right above it, in Darnielle's Progress the only town there.
 
Yep there now, Oooo +105k each, bit steep that. Are we traveling around 400ly to get here then paying out because of a bug that stops them spawning? Feels like I've just been slapped in the face by a fish. [down]

Take a deep breath and (optional) a stiff drink. I know because late last night, as I contemplated how tough the galaxy had become post-2.1, I began thinking "I'm done with this" thoughts. But this morning I realised new things to do also means learning new skills and new challenges so just maybe the game will be more enjoyable, not less.

Anyway, to get back to your specific point, almost certainly you just need to leave your ship there for a while (30 mins? a few hours maybe?) and the station will begin restocking Meta Alloys. I was there last night and there were 9 units when I arrived. I had a coffee break and an hour or more later there were 18.

WARNING: unless you want to pick up meta alloys for your friends, only buy the 1 you need for the Engineer's introduction. They cost around Cr 100,000 but, unlike most rare-like commodities, the average price in the galaxy is much less and you will make a 20,000 to 40,000 *loss* on each one when you try to sell them. I bought 10. *facepalm*

Yes but if you buy the 9 available you will make a profit on the 8 left over after paying your entry fee. .
 
Yeah after 4-5 month break i wanted to play a bit, but arrrg i was far out in the galaxy ah well, will be rewarded when i'm back right, so first thing i did was fly down to Maia, cause i wanted to start the Engineering thingy, so i went down there, hmm no META-ALLOYS ah well they get it in a few mins, 20 mins hmm ok any time soon, 1 hour ok now its there cause i really want to start playing again, 2-3-4-8 hours and still nothing, man this is just ridiculous that you have to sit around and do nothing, other than exit the market open it again, try relog.... because i bet the sec i fly off they start restocking again, and when i then get back people have bought it all again, i know its a rare thing, but come one dont make it obtainable.

Now i sit here and think about heading back and play WoW again, just do not like to have either to sit for what a few weeks, or fly off and have to come back like 3845 times to check before you get lucky, really es the man behind the screen a bit off by now :(

And yeah, have been in Open game, private and solo, but nothing.

Why not farm the barnacles at source? Far quicker than waiting on market stock and 100% cheaper
Now if you only had some locations with, say a double ripe barnacle with 4 MA each spawn..
I've a thread somewhere,
Ripe MA barnacle locations...

Sorry to wake up this topic. But i just recently started playing and im now in the search of this meta alloy. I just went to the engeneer for 200 ly with a 13ly ship. And now i see that the meta alloy sells on a station 400ly away...no way i have the time to go there. So is there another way to get this? What you mean with "at source"?

I wouldn't even consider trying to farm those barnacles, it would be far quicker to go to Maia. Considering the SRV scanner is dodgy at best and doesn't discriminate between Barnacle, Bronzite or a ghost signal, you'd probably spend days searching in vain for what you want. Every barnacle I've come across has only had iron, sulphur, carbon, the occasional Maganese or Phosphorus in it, practically nothing else. I have NEVER got Meta Alloys from planets since they are a commodity, not a material.

Thanks guys :) I got it already, in py viper mk4 with 16ly. Took around 2h there and back, so not as bad as i expected. And i found exactly 1 metamaterial at the station hehe. Lucky i guess.

And it turned out to be a worthwile trip too. On the way back there was a mission in one of the Maia stations that wanted me to send 10 items to somewhere 250ly away. I found that the place is on the way to Deciat. THe mission gave me 800k credits hehe. That was the highest payment i ever got in any mission.

Btw, i think that may be a tip for others too that still have to do this. THe staions in Maja nearly all give missions like that. And every single time the target was on the way to Deciat. And they give from 500k to 800k for me, in the very first rank. Maybe its a fixed thing implemented by the devs. Seems like this because it cant be coincidence that over 15 missions have targets that are on the way to Deciat.

I just couldnt take more bec i took the second cargo bay out for the trip. Otherwise i could have made big money if could have accepted more of them.
