Random SRV explosions is a known bug, or at least it was in the previous client version.
Edit: Too late ^^.
Well I wasn't wrong exactly, he didn't say it in the UA thread. Which is what SpocksoddSocks said.He really did (say that meta-alloys were exceedingly rare).

But that is just plain bull.
Like seriously, what the hell. Why on earth did he think it was a good idea to make them exceedingly rare. We don't want ANOTHER UA hunt. Sure, it was fun the first time, but not a second time.
It's not fun, it's frustrating. And, honestly, I can't help but look. I wanna be where the excitement is. I'll roleplay salvager and hope to GOD the blue POIs I leave behind when full cargo are not barnacles.
The north pole on Pleione 4 is swarming with scanner hits. I found a crashed ship, another old-timey satellite, and a gold stash all within a a very short drive of each other. This is very unusual. I have a feeling that if I drive around here enough, one of these POI's will spawn a Barnacle.
Although I do get the impression that we should be able to see something from orbit as you could in the prequels.
Perhaps high altitude survey's are a good way to start?
Hmm... you mean in one of the vids you could see something from high up?
How much effort has gone in to looking for a crater with a mist like this:

The time when the video was published could be related to when they placed the Barnacles, like an early clue.
The mist makes it possible to spot the crater from distance which no longer makes this a crazy hunt for the needle.
Maybe it´s a fixed barnacle in the mist and we could use the star at the end as a clue?
The video description says cold rock!
Unfortunately it doesnt seem like its in the Pleiades, but at least we have an idea of what we could be looking for.
I've driven over 1.4Mm and not suffered one of these strange destructions. I'm not a slow or cautious driver, I will slam pedal to the metal over moguls and thruster from dune to dune, or fall 800m on a 1.2g world and survive because of Premium SRV repair immediately before hitting the floor. Nevertheless, I always load at least a 4G Planetary Hangar (2 SRVs).
That's probably your ship dismissing itself and jumping out to orbital cruise. It makes an echoing sonic boom as it jumps out.
It is friendly for finding Arsenic and Polonium for jumponium. I quite like the planet. Maybe it's the blue star giving everything a washed out shade.
Don't even joke about that!
Really, the collective number of flight and driving hours racked up by all pilots in the Pleiades this weekend is insane!
I've spotted a POI from 3km away in my ship because of the lights. It was distinctive because I've never seen a data point like it, with bunkers and a blue shaft of light shining into the sky. Very human. Nothing usually found.
Kerrash said have we reduced the number of planets to search yet.
Given the SRV thrusters in the trailer indicate a planet with higher than 1g gravity, here's a list of the landable planets over 1g in the Pleiades. Thank you to whichever editor did this in the spreadsheet because it wasn't me. I'm grateful they did it. Thank you.

Am I reading too much into the omission, or does anyone else think that this means we should have a UA in our hold when we're searching?

I forget, was it ever mentioned that they will be found in a POI? Or is there still a possibility of it being a completely random signal?
As far as I know, we have zero confirmation either way. The only clue is that so far, fixed POI's seem to have no blue dot, and we know some of the barnacles are fixed. We do not know if this means no blue dot for them though.
