Jorge, can I have my biscuit back please!?

I should have made clear my comment wasn't directed at you, but at how sometimes some of us have made premature assumptions in the forum, me included.

Regardless, open your cargo hatch and get ready to scoop. I'll give you a little something extra too. After all, I live in the UK, and offering you just biscuits would be uncivilised. Will 1T of each suffice?

Liquid hydrogen tea and liquid helium biscuits doesn't sound that great...

Here's what Wikipedia says:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-based_life
Apparently any alien life would also be carbon based, so no point in specifying it which is why FD chose their current way.

Because Carbon actually works REALLY WELL for bonding with other elements, a lot better than any other element, so the Thargoids are probably also carbon based, unless they're like the Shadows or the Vorlons.

Sorry if its already been done before.

I took a quick trip in the galaxy map to get some info on the station affected by outages. Just looking to see if a pattern was visible.

How my theories held up;

1. I had theorized that the station type could be a factor. e.g. older station types more vulnerable.
Busted - Orbis, Corilis, Ocellus and Outpost types affected.
2. I theorized station economy may have been a factor. e.g. certain types of industrial machinery were vulnerable.
Busted, I counted seven different economies affected.
3. I theorized population may be a factor. More people = more attractive 'target'
Couldn't find per station population. Probably looking in wrong place.
4. I theorized there was significance in the body a station orbited.
Interesting result. There seems a definite trend to damage stations orbiting metal rich or high metal content worlds. Atmospheres on a lot (although different atmospheres). Earth type worlds also cropped up a bit too. Only one icy rock entry.
5. I theorized that the system star makeup could be a factor. e.g. certain wavelengths of light affected process
Busted - No pattern. Main sequence but thats it.
6. I theorized that distance from the star could be important. e.g. intensity of light affects process.
Inconclusive. Anything from 49ls to 1418ls. Too varied to be important?

Conclusions
Seems to be a bit of a trend towards stations orbiting metal content bodies. Seems.


Does anyone have a couple of entries of stations that people tried to cause problems with? curious to know if it adds to this research.
If anyone has the data from Pic Tok or Iapodes please let me know if theres anything interesting there.

Nicely done commander! Perhaps none of it is significant, but sometimes most research is all about ruling out theories.

Haha, nice. Virtual +1 since I can't rep you again. Awesome cannisters :D

The barnacles could be carbon-based life forms. That they're the source of the meta-alloys doesn't mean they can't be carbon based. They might just grow meta-alloy 'shells' from materials absorbed in their environments.

How so? People keep saying they think there is nothing to find. How does people repeating that idea in any way make it valid? Repeating an idea doesn't make it valid, evidence does. And absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

And again, twice we've taken more than 6 weeks to find something in game. Concluding there is nothing to find is clearly premature at this point.

I meant that there is a concern to be had, when the same complaint keeps being brought up.
It may not at all be about wasting time. It may be something else, but a concern none the less.

And I didn't say that there was nothing to be found. I'm out there looking and getting pretty screenshots, because I'm sure there is something to be found.

Hmmmmm interesting.
Well Arsenic is used in the SRV Refuel standard synthesis.
Perhaps this is a way of finding barnacles.
I have been on a few planets now and picked up 12 different materials but no arsenic.
Has anybody found any arsenic yet? mayhaps these are the planets we need to concentrate on.

EDIT: Though looking at the Materials Wiki it stats that its a common one to find so probably not Arsenic, but maybe something else is an indicater thats its possible to grow.
Will have to scoot about and see whats available on the surface of whatever body we find them on, when we find em lmao.

Ive got Arsenic.. Its either Merope 5c or Synuefue ZE-Y d1-3 they are the only places I've had a proper joyride ;)

To further elaborate on my personal theory, I'd hazard a guess that the UA/multiple UA's somehow is/are triggered into a hybrid molt/metamorphosis. Said molt/metamorphosis complete and we have a Barnacle with attendant by-product of metal-alloys. The visual similarities between UA's and the Barnacle are too close to ignore.

The how and the why, well, we'll have to wait for FD to get back from holiday and kick-start the process.
