The barnacle thing is broken .. its supposed to be a missions on planets to spawn POI's but its misspelled so it doesn't generate. Wait until the next patch before even bothering with looking.
 
Good luck. I really hope my can make it.

Not at all. Error on POI creation is probably server related. If it's not spawning, it's probably intended.

Ah thanks Han was getting worried there for a mo.

this is actually getting hilarious, in my opinion if you guys have spent almost a year on this and nothing its obvious to me that Frontier is trolling you guys so hard just to keep you playing the game, seriously, all the stuff you guys post is so bizarre I'm just like wat.
 
Apart from the 1st station to be infected, and 4 of the 5 player attempts to infect a station.

Exactly! The UAs still appear to be the cause of the station malfunctions so there is likely to be a UA-related cure for those stations, presumably based on delivery of either new commodities or the new materials. The lack of infection to all the stations to which UAs were delivered should be a cure to the mitigation- what is the reason for this exception??

Well that was an helpful post thanks for that.
Right back to the science.
ok so new year time for some new science.
So first off does anybody have all of the synth materials yet? if so does the UA's still damage your ship?
And 2nd a proposal for a test
We pick a system in the middle of the thickness of the shell and the next adjoining systems (this should give us around the thickness of the shell )and we kill every ua we can find, "But why" i hear you ask well it goes like this, these things are in a shell for a reason so if we start to punch a hole in that shell someone or thing is either going to have to repair the hole ( so someone thing drops off more UA's into these systems , well if its a convoy it will be spotted, if its anything else it would be seen.) or in the case of these things being used as some sort of boundary marker or first stage in an invasion if we start to decimate them we could then force whoever is sending these things out into doing or changing something.
I know it's all a bit vague as a test goes but i'm trying to think a bit differently than what i have done over the last few months.

Hello. Maybe someone can lend me a hand.

I have the meta-alloys mission active, with 4 days expiration timer. On the search for possible star candidates where I could find the barnacles/meta-alloys, I headed out towards Orion, as I have a good feeling about the area as it has a special connection with the Pleiades, specifically to Merope, in greek mythology.

The star I'm trying to reach is Epsilon Orionis, also well known as Alnilam. It's the middle star in the Orion's belt, and is a blue super giant with a black hole as well. It is one of the brightest stars in our sky, and it has served as anchor point to classify most of the other stars in our sky.

Approaching the system, I have found myself stuck on trying to reach it. I'm about 160ly away from the star, and can't find any approach vector to reach it. It seems to be inside a hole without stars. I'm in an Asp capable of doing 31.27ly jumps, but I'm seeing that to reach the star I need to perform several jumps of 40 to 50ly's. I'm going to need quite a bit of FSD injections to reach it. And even if I do, I'll have the problem of getting back out. At the moment I don't have enough materials for even a basic injection, and I'm having trouble finding the needed materials. I already had to backtrack a bit to find a system with planets, but I'm finding only ice rocks. If anybody can give me a hint on how to or where to find the needed materials, that would be great.

Also, if anybody in an Anaconda happens to be nearby, maybe they can reach it. I find this star fulfills all the needed criteria for barnacles: blue super giant, important star, right quadrant, and connection to the Pleiades in mythology. But most suspicious for me is the fact that the star is so difficult to reach... You can't get to this star by chance, you have to be trying to reach it on purpose to get to it...

So if anybody can help me, or someone want's to try... I'm going to keep looking for materials for the FSD injector, but I'm a bit worried that even if I manage to reach it, that I might not be able to come back at all...



Oh... And a happy new year to all!!!

Perhaps a group effort is required- with several ships forming a fuel resupply chain?? May need to have refullers supplying refuellers to achieve the full range. May also require ships/refuellers with multiple fuel tanks

yeah let's make 400 bilion stars , create a unkown artifact that emits morse codes scaned ships (because its makes very little work to make it working) , make it point to a especific star, also the game is all about trade and fighting , the other 400bilions systems are just there for sightseeing...

I'm on my way out there too. About 1kly away. I get about 33ly jump in my asp and I have enough for 5 25% jumps or two 50% jumps. Hopefully I have enough to get out there and back :)

Add me gtr2014 .
 
Remember that just because UA's can only be sold at black markets doesn't mean that only UAs can be sold at black markets. Many other items could be sold at black markets as well that could be impacting the stations. I know that Galnet has quotes from people indicating a connection to UAs but Jmanis' tests seem clear to me that just selling UAs to a station isn't enough.

Unless those stations that haven't been infected, despite UA deliveries, already have some antidote? or the antidote is also being delivered?

Or as some people are of the opinion that FD are using the forums to help decide what stations get infected (i.e. what stations people have said they have sold lots too)
 
Alright, I just arrived at Epsilon Orionis. 3 landable bodies, one of which is quite large.
Made it here in my exploration Conda with 39 ly jump range. Didn't need to boost once.
Will update if I find something.

Someone was watching the output of the error logs while it was trying to generate the POI and saw it was trying to but was kicking back an error. People thought about trying to rename some files but since the incorrect spelling is referenced in many areas it wouldn't make sense to even try.

Still waiting for confirmation: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=218735&highlight=POI+barnicle
Feel free to add comments to try to increase the importance of that bug report.

Greetings CMDR.
I once found a thread here in the forums with a CMDR saying he already reached Epsilon Orionis. It has been done and I tried some of his route out as follows.

I was very close to getting there myself in an Asp Explorer and I would have gone there if not something more important called me back to The Bubble.
I still needed to find FSD injections materials though. Be sure to gather the quadruple amount needed then you are sure you can go back and forth.

I will share with you my route findings. You need to do at least two jumps with FSD boost into two different "islands" of connected star systems.

Go to OOCHORRS IC-K D9-2 and prepare for a FSD boosted jump to OOCHORRS LO-U C18-0. You can gather materials nearby on metal planets in OOCHORRS FH-K D9-1.
After that work your way to OOCHORRS ZP-N D7-0 and prepare for a FSD boosted jump to OOCHORRS WK-B C15-0. I haven't been there so I don't know of any suitable systems to mine materials in.

This should be VERY useful information to you and should be one of the shortest/easiest ways in to Epsilon Orionis.

Godspeed CMDR!

Hey chaps/chappettes,

do the UAs still spawn around the shell 135/150Ly from Merope? Not played for a few months (busy with work).

Or do they only spawn on planets now?

Cheers

Not sure how much help I can be, but many hands make light work they say.
Also, I have pet theories about the Orion link too...

PS - What's your CMDR name, will friend you.

@Rizal72 with regards to the BarnIcles/Barnacles thing is there any references to the proper spelling in the game files? if not then would suggest that it's not a bug.
