I keep thinking about this. Especially as I seem to remember there being some mention of work being done on larger asteroids, but they are not yet in game... something about they are working on them for Horizons in relation to landing, but they weren't ready yet. I really can't remember when I read/heard this... and it is possible I just imagined it... does anyone else remember this being said?

As far as convoy watching goes if you far enough out and see a convoy with research material/data that might be significant... or it might be RNG.

I guess the questions we should ask are:

- do those convoys always carry scientific research
- if they do so, why are they medical convoys
- is that related to a disease that occurred in the past (cerberus)?
- What has it to do with the UA

these rocks are affected by gravity aswell and rotate on their own.
I am doubtful we have seen the source of the "barnacles" in the trailer,
and i can still make no rhyme on why the UAs spread around the Pleiades or where the have come from
in the first place.

If they have have originated from a planetside source, how come they do not move on their own.
With their current behaviour i doubt a UA would be able to escape even low gravitational pull.

Currently i guess they are blind passengers, scanning stuff,
but what else?

Yeah rule out asteroids.. I spent last night trying every rocky, icy and metallic ring I could find as well as asteroids just to see if maybe there was anything unique to find.

Pretty sure the barnacles are planetside. The UA thing like I said though is a completely separate but maybe later related issue.

If the BarnAcle/BarnIcle bug is true (where the poi tries to spawn us a Banracle poi- but when accessing the misspelled local files and .obj.. returns an error), and is the root cause of all the "lack of finding"..

Well then someone over at QA department at FDev needs a bit of a cut in pay. :mad:

Well, that a good question. Barnacles, I think everyone assumes is what was spotted in the trailer, at 00:58 seconds...

Not everybody. I've been saying for a while we shouldn't assume they are both the same. We should look for both, but saying they are the same thing is jumping to conclusions, and that's not good science. Bad science, bad!!! Go sit in the corner. No biscuit for you!

Maybe unpaid overtime will be enough?

We don't want to be too cruel, right?

I never said I claimed anything I simply suggested you guys to look somewhere else and make a roadmap with defined objectives but it's fine y'all can keep doing what you are doing best. I'm used to hotheads who just want to read what they want to hear.

I'm just here for the popcorn.

So if you don't know anything we don't, where's the proof that whatever you are doing is better?

And if you do know something we don't, why not tell us?

Coming here and saying that we are doing it all wrong holds no meaning unless you have proof that something you've tried works better. You are of course free to keep posting, but if you are not going to contribute anything all you are producing is white noise.

Now, this is too cruel!:(

Cruel Edit:
We have Sole Hunter. We can yell at him. He is a troll. They are created for this. It's not like he is a real person and can feel or something. :p

I hate trolls

So the question is again - has anyone from Frontier said there is more to the UA mystery to find? We know they also seeded interesting stuff out there that hasn't been found. But there are literally no hints or anything. I think they are biding their time until they can get more work done on it by expanding it through community goals.

I really think we are wasting our time right now.

The mis spelled barnacle thing shows you how much thought went into it. It really can't be too important and is just a broken quest.

I just can't help but feel that this is the issue.

Plug a reply in there to keep the pressure on em' :)

No one has found a Barnicle seed POI yet either. :(

Looks the same as in 1.4.
They were examined in great detail. They just jump around randomly like ua convoys used to.
Not rechecked them in 2.0 and have no intention of doing so unless there is some indication that they have changed. Others are of course welcome to retest

Hi Dom.... we have checked all same as 1.4 o7

I have seen my verbose netlogs show "invalid .obj" errors while driving around- I am really good and tracking down POIs from the rover seat without having to be in a ship hunting blue regions around (theres a skill needed in interpreting wave scanner signals- you can detect POIs 3-4km away! and I'm not giving away my skill secret!)

point of commonality on all the meta-alloy missions mentioned that give location. They are all in systems playable in the early beta stages of ED. Before the rest of the galaxy, or even the larger Pill were opened up.
