My Quest for Meta Alloys (journal+pics)

Obtained Strange Alloys mission on Europa, of all places.

[out of character content will be bracketed as such]
[netlog set to verbose, strange alloys is only mission objective]

Feeling overly optimistic- I set out to the nearest POI I ran into on the edge of the City. Oddly the POI scan regions were very small. Went in to investigate.

Nothing too interesting- just a data site:


Scouting around a bit, discovered a downed probe (ancient pioneer style), an old wreck of a ship with nothing interesting, and a warehouse:



of course- a Tea warehouse. Honestly- I never understood the cultural fascination with drinking this "Tea". It actually kind of disgusts me, if you think about it. Follow me on this: they cultivate the trees, trim the leaves, carefully dry and grind them up. ... then rinse them off with hot water, throw the leaves away.. and drink the dirty rinse water. eww.

[ on a more meta not- the point of this was to generate a few POIs to see if the netlog tried to load metal alloy, and maybe came up with any errors- no errors or strange netlog behavior]

Thinking of my exploration times, and checking the notes I took of unusual planetary features... one of them jumped out at me as strange enough to warrant the trip. I'm off to Aulin.

I imagine some readers may be wondering "what could be so unusual in Aulin?"
[a very familiar system since early days of Beta]

Well, there is this- let me know if you can spot any sort of "anomaly"




moving to low level flight it can be seen as a diffuse fog- only apparent at a distance (when seeing through a lot of it- like smog)



To prove its not a trick of the sunlight- and is actually a light source itself, here is another patch on the nighttime side.



I think I'm going to explore around here a bit. poke my head into some caves, look for caves, that sort of stuff



... creepy! but rather matching certain referential video files..

.. and please; no jokes about "better not make that valley angry..." [because I beat you to it!]

[update]

so far nothing but old space junk


But I figured I should check out its belly- maybe it gathered some barnacles in its old age...

FD need to stop the tea in joke...
Its not immersive and at first I assumed it was a bug , I still hope it is
 
[update]

Searching the landscape, and now craving green shebert ice cream (damn you!), Ive come across 3 "warehouses" in a row. Yup. every single one had Tea.

[honestly- this has to be a bug- why can there not be any more varietea?] ;)
