Aye, I know you could argue it's a grey area but spoiler tags or no, I'd rather people not pull apart files and post the results here.
So somebody tried to push an UA into Meope's star, already?
IMO the UAs are some kind of polyp, they'll settle somewhere (on a planet's surface) and transform to 'large barnacles' after that. These barnacles are made of meta-alloy.
I'm really excited in the spread of probes far away from the human bubble -> the article in GalNet confirms that it's not a bug
Ooh, I like that idea.
Rather than wandering randomly searching for a super-rare barnacle, we can head down to a planet, plant a UA and wait for it to grow.
Ray Gateway is at 57,298
Tsunenaga Dock in Iapodes is at 1,131
Off to Varati next.
"CMDR Moist Illogical" doesn't have the Sol or Perigrina permits, so he won't be able to check there.

Not really, some are randomly generated, but others have been specifically placed to be found.

A few pages back (OK, maybe now it's more than a few
I made the changes to the last version of RedWizzard's modifications to my initial tool I had on hand, and then got a bit carried away modifying the stylesheet...
Hopefully there haven't been any major changes since I last downloaded it, and I wonder if the pre-sets are the latest cleanest decodings. Also, I suspect there are new ships that need to be added? I recall the Cobra MkIV had the same drawing as the MkIII.
Anyway, I present the UA Morse drawing tool v0.3b: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99992395/ua_draw3.html
Please PM me any additions/corrections/bugs.
Me likey!!! *throws rep in Anjin's direction*

During the Antares CG I observed that ship wreckages found on low orbit around a moon were slowly (and at times not so slowly) but surely falling toward the moon tugged by gravity. It would seem that this sort of behavior has been introduced with Horizons as gravity now starts to pay a bigger role in our flight model. Have we tried dropping UAs in different places like say... moons or better Merope itself?
I haven't checked to see if stellar bodies other than planets are pulling at objects yet.

I've been to two or three Black Holes since Horizons happened, and I think on one I've been "all the way" to the Body Exclusion Zone. Don't remember noticing anything different.
Thanks Michael. You're really building up the tension here. I thought about doing some bounty hunting for a change, but that just cancelled those plans. Looks like I'll still on and or around planets checking POI...
Soo, does this mean we don't need the mission to find them?
Or any other special requirements (like an UA in the cargohold)?
The statement, that the meta-alloy can be found in horizons...
You smashed my whole elaborate thought-process! Argh
O.K. so definitely meta alloys can be found in horizons specific zones,
so Orbital cruise isn't ruled out per-se correct?
S.S.S.es do spawn in OC, too.
I guess it is really time for an organized planetary cartographing and search endeavour.
Grab yer combs!!!

I suggest a combined effort of SRV-explorers and Spaceship backup.
How about groups of 4 consisting of 3 SRV scouts and a support spacecraft?
Anyone up for organizing a combing weekend?
Is something like that already conducted?

There you go... needle in haystack.
Of course the actual mission doesn't mention who's found them in the past or where.. so there is no clue. In other words - its on one of 400 billion / X amount of moons in the galaxy.

No, we won't. Sorry to say, it's not the first time you post something as fact when you can't know if it is. It's surprising you keep insisting on doing so in this thread, where it should be obvious by now most of us try to put quite a bit of emphasis on doing good science.
If someone finds a barnacle, meta-alloys, Thargoids or Elvis in a escape pod next week it could be that something was broken and they fixed it, or that everything was working and no one was looking in the right places, or that people were looking in the right places but the RNG wasn't favouring them,... I'm all for suggesting hypotheses, but not for making statements without evidence just because you choose to believe in a specific outcome without proof.
The thing I was talking about that Michael responded to was not about Meta-alloys (so long as we were on the same page) it was about a galnet article referring to Nav Beacons appearing thousands of miles outside of human inhabited space.
However I don't know whether it was those in particular or POI's in general that he's referring to.
(you're so cryptic Mr. Brookes! and this is the most active I've seen you on here, you're having fun watching us struggle aren't you?

Elvis in an escape pod... NOW THAT WOULD BE A FIND!
You know you're close when you find canisters of burgers and narcotics
