I can't words
Well it's been a while since I've captured a UA but...
The pitch of the UA's high purrs is (was) inversely proportional to the health of the UA. Meaning when you find a 100% non-degrading UA the "high" purrs sound a lot lower than normal and are essentially "stuck" there since the health never drops.
Additionally a degrading UA would do two ultra slow cycles with only 2/3 purrs audible at deployment, and then quickly switch to 5-6 purrs per cycle as it degraded from 100%.
In short yeah what you're describing sounds like it's normal to me, but I'm comparing to general degrading UA behaviour. If you think it sounds different to a typical 100% health non-degrading UA that's a different matter.
Though I am a bit out of touch with UA sounds so not 100% sure anymore.
That's exactly what happened, thanks for clearing that up for me! I was flying in towards the UA and rotating around it from a distance.
That is some drool-inducing vongole! Buon appetito!Sorry but I could not resist: I'm having some "barnacles" right now

TBH they are clams...
I too did my part yesterday in the name of science. I found a collection of strange alien looking organisms in a black market in the Granada system...
Among them I noticed some which were barnacle-like, so I acquired a few which I then proceeded to haul back to my home base 1.33426e-5Ls away, heading Galactic South.
I then run a battery of experiments on them which included stuffing them with basil, garlic and pinenuts... no response.
I then proceeded to coat them with olive oil and expose them to high heat on one side for about a minute, then the other side... still nothing, other than a curious change of colour and texture on the surface areas exposed to the heat, along with a release of some juices. I wasn't able to determine if those effects were intended or a bug. Perhaps MB can confirm or deny?
Finally I poured on them a reduction of the juices mixed with some dry oloroso wine (I was out of Lavian brandy). Still nothing... not even the tiniest bit of morse. What's up with that?
At that point I run out of ideas, so I just shoved the creature into my cargo hatch. Tough work, science... but someone's got to do it!
Hello Commanders,
first Post here, im usually only passive on the Forums but i just found something while exploring, maybe some one can tell me if it is mission related or not.
And because the Location is close to Maia/Merope i thought maybe it has something to do with the UA
It looks like 2 skimmer wrecks and a SRV wreck with some debris around the SRV.
There where no npcs at that site and no red box, nothing to loot or datapoint.
The Site is inside a blue circle.
Its the first time ive seen the Signal the Wavescanner shows and the noise it made while on approach was different from those that you get when its a POI or Structure.
Location is Pleiades Sector PD-S B4-0 B 3 A
Im still around that site in case some one wants to drop by, same name in game as here.

@Barnacle chefs - lol 
, out of words and rep. Virtual rep to follow, and I'm looking for Chef Ramsey private number. We need some proper evaluation here.
@Mikura. Unfortunately, those sites are not persistent. They are created dynamically when you land and roam around.
So it's unlikely you'll be able to revisit it.
You can find some MB comments somewhere regarding they being dynamically created.

Yeah thought as much, hoped someone could tell me what this site is supposed to be since theres no interaction like a datapoint or some sort of loot or target to shoot like mining drills.
My thoughts were maybe its mission related and in the SRV is some (important) Material u can loot with the right Mission.
Ahh well next time

Works for me.
RE: UA not degrading when dropped from an SRV; the clear way to find out whether the UA's are unique is to drop another canister of something, let's say biowaste, and see if it too does not degrade.
If it's just the UA that doesn't degrade, then it could be it is a unique interaction with the SRV's... otherwise the likelihood is that the SRV jetison coding could very well be the old jettison code from before the degradation timers got added.
silents got a point ... I'm also very exhausted because of the CG grinds hell I haven't even got my anaconda yet after a year whereas some of you guys already are working on corvettes or cutters ...This isn't necessarily the most apt of locations for this post. However as more of the contributors hereto will have an inkling as to the referents, it's going in here anyway. Mods: feel free to move, amend, edit or otherwise deal as you see fit. Oh, and Merry Christmas to one and all
So ladies and gentlemen:
It is highly unlikely that this post will ever see the light of day. Unfortunately in this age of political correctness, the dissenting voice is, erm - frowned upon.
Some background. Recently, yours truly was banned from these here forums on the - not unreasonable - grounds that I was shall we say, disrespectful to one of Frontier's employees.
Which is fine. It's not for you or I to decide what is or isn't acceptable on the forum. As the saying is (and I fully respect): their Forum, their rules.
The problem is the masking of a deeper malais.
Our esteemed leader the mighty Braben, and his epic team of dedicated coders have provided us with some of the most fabulous gameplay ever seen on any platform anywhere in the history of videogames. Most notably with the release of Horizons, the seamless transition from supercruise through orbital cruise and on down into planetary landing is an achievement, in my most humble of opinions, without parallel in the history of gaming graphics. Without delving into the hows, whys, and wherefores, it seems to me that the 'flight mechanic' is flawless. The ships? Fantastic, and each with a definite character of their own.
For myself, an 84'er, Oh Boy! And here I am already with over 1000 hrs under my belt.
Now, let's get critical.
Where's the game? Microsoft's Flight Simulator is fantastic.
But dull.
See where I'm going here?
It's the same: MSFS in space.
The XP Mr Brookes said recently in a post (under the name of our beloved Ed Lewis), that the Power play contained 'subtleties that were not immediately apparent'. Okay then: Make them apparent. The 'Mikun' boys and girls have been trying to figure out the BGS pretty much from the get-go. And still aren't sure how it all works.
Hey Michael! This is a GAME. Help us to play.
As for storylines...
Get this: the player base would rather like to feel they have some form of 'agency' in the development of storylines.
Apparently, based on all data available to this respondent: they do not.
I was recently a little abrasive in a post. Michael Brookes! My name is Mike Rhind and I'm from Gloucestershire, England. I am sorry if you were offended by my post. I would say that I am sorry for the post itself, but offensive language apart, I stand by the sentiment.
Stop taking us for fools and give us something other than a grindfest CG. Hint a little on GalNet. It doesn't have to overt. It doesn't have to be easy. it doesn't have to be obvious.
Unfortunately I genuinely do not believe you have what it takes. Which makes me very, very, sad.
I deleted my game and reset my save in the aftermath of the rage I felt following my last posts(s), but guess what: I'm still here and still playing because I honestly have never found anything approaching the satisfaction to be found playing this game.
But the UA story?
Blows.
Hard.
'Moderate' this post if you must.
But understand it is sent out there in the spirit of furthering the mystery, energising the playerbase, and above all, exhalting the developers to live up to our (high) expectations.
FYI this is my last post.
Ban me if you want: I won't notice or care.
But you should.
Mike Rhind
I do agree that we need clues as I said ... Hard or easy doesn't matter we're all smart scientists and have established this group to solve this mystery by any means necessary
! So there is that ... as for the UA , come one guys we've been working on this since the cqc release
and we've leaned all we could now we know that something is going on in merope ok agreed but what's the next step ! Let's face it even though there are points of interests to be found they are all the same as all of the other planets and moons plus the fact that they are located on a 1:1 scale so like we all said alotta times the moons are huge ! Im not discouraging anybody or being a pessimistic guy and that kinda stuff I'm just trying clear out what we should be doing to continue our research .
Now let's take a look at the latest clues shall we
: UA pointing to merope , station malfunctions and shut downs , obsidian orbital malfunctions and now the new research base community goal which will be finished next week and also the alien temple in the trailer . now , let me explain to you what I mean : we know that the base will be established next week right ? And that obsidian orbital is malfunctioning ! What does this mean ? It's obvious ! The UAs are the reason ! In fact this is so obvious to me in my view that we only should be focusing on a cure not to keep selling them to shut down more stations
now let's go back to the base : what does it mean ? It's obvious again ! It means that next week or so there is gonna be something happening to pallins storyline that will help us continue
. So to summon this up , frontier needs to be quicker with the clues , by sharing clues with us faster etc , and we need to focus on the next week and see what pallin is gonna do
sorry for the long text by the way ! By the way i also believe that until next week the merope investigation can continue so shout out to the guys on merope
in case we find something
please someone correct me if I'm wrong becaus that's how science should be done

Some words:
- There is no point searching for a cure for the station malfunctions until FD signpost something that makes it clear that that's where we should be headed next. MB even said, in response to a question about whether the spread can be reversed or stopped (in addition to saying it can be stopped) that 'there's science to do first'.
- if there were a way to reverse the issues, then I'd say that our unpublished Galnet saying that we were experimenting with Rare commodities and items (practically all of them) would have been published
- to engage with this mystery is to accept that, sometimes, nothing new will happen for a long period of time. The content being generated for this mystery is not Number 1 on the list of developer time: bugs and new features take precedence over this, I'm sure (and they should).
Do I want to see this thing progress more quickly? Sure I do - but you also have to be ready to switch focus to something else if there's nothing new, to avoid getting 'the rage'
- until we get some more leads from Palin via Galnet, we just continue with lots of other activities - Merope for sure, UA shell systems, the California Sector, plus the barnacle thing just because there are missions there to be had! Plus there are stil specific missions to run for the Canonn (well, VIU) to help us secure Varati and/or expand.

It is quite common. Signal and Sound (especially of drones) is very strange indeed.
And as far as I know, there is no missions to find the wreckage of SRV.
By the way, I shot down Eagle near surface and its remains had no signal on the wave scanner.

Interesting ! Did it have canisters with "wreckage components" ?

great work ! o7
Love This !!!!@ Rizala
Thank you so much for helping me get a UA scan of the "Tara" system star in secret from Commander Outspan
To all, Riz took a UA out to a star called Tara in a Tx ship ! He then deployed the UA and recoded it for me, I edited the file and sent it to Not on the High street.com
for it to be printed! Framed and presented to Commander Outspan to much joy and bewilderment, once again thanks Riz..... The people on these
forums never cease to amaze me and I believe we are honoured to be part of this fantastic community And a Very Merry Christmas to you all....o7

Just a refresh of something that happened to me in the first days after release, when I found the similar Huge wreckage, with a rescue team there, and lots of wreckage components all around.
And I found it in Aries Dark Region GW-W D1-52, UA shell...
I've posted it on this forum.
Thanks ! Thats a shame - I was hoping they were specific to the Antares.... oh well
edit - well... maybe they could be a sign that there is remains of other "ships" such as generation ships nearby....

I'm in Soontil right now and there are a few Salvageable Wreckage sites with the same huge wrecks. And yes, the canisters were listed as "wreckage components".
There are also distress calls with the wreckage components in them. I've always been blasted out of those though.

Ok now i agree with some of your sentiments there is one clue you are forgetting, the pictures there is a lot more to get of of them yet!!!.
BTW post not long you keep going.

I just found this for the fashion conscious Canonn scientist:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shieldapparel/shield-the-world-s-first-signal-proof-headwear
However, it seems they use silver instead of the much more signal resistant Timocani tinfoil. Amateurs.
