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.

FWIW I had a good look round there for barnacles, nowt... as usual. =(

If the big gravity one is 7.1G (as I seem to remember) then I think I skipped that (for obvious reasons).

Some nice looking planets over there though :

uc


And of course crashed nav beacons. =/

I did not have the mission though.

@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.


Barnacles + icicles.... maybe barnicles are their shells.. and they are small(maybe microscopic) coral living forms?!

it's possible landing on a 7g planet?
i've landed a 4.7 . but maybe thruster cant cope with the grav?
 
Obsidian Ant just did a vid on landing on a 9g planet, and it can be done...but taking back off can be, er, interesting.
Another great vid from him with something very interesting in it.
So he lands on a 9.7g world and finds a Nav Beacon, now ive only found these on low G worlds and thught perhaps its crashed into the surface may have survived but this vid show one on a 9.7G world, couldn't have crashed would be nothing left of it. so it was put there. And thinking about the whole Nav Beacons on planets how would one crash they are allways in orbit around the main star would take a lot to shift it out of orbit.
Now normally i would say ah its just something that FD have put there for us to find, but these things with the exception of the 2 Voyager craft ( and possibly pioneer 9 and 10, though still can't find any details on this) these are the only things that use Morse that would have left the Sol system.
So the question is who put them there and then by the looks of it had a game of football with it.
 
Just arrived on Epsilon Orionis with an ASP.

I've used the route that Ninjahat suplyed, but with minor changes.

This setings on my asp.

http://coriolis.io/outfit/asp/03D5D...F202v62i2f.AwRj4ytEg===.Aw1sEwIwj5A=?bn=myasp

(max jump 35.78)

I will write the route down if anyone wants:

1° make your way to COL 70 SECTOR WC-T C4-0. (try keeping 1/4 tank from here on)

2° route to OOCHORRS GH-K D9-0 .

(prepare +25% boost to 42.9 Ly)

3° Jump to OOCHORRS BB-M D8-3 and set route to OOCHORRS ZP-N D7-0 .

(prepare +25% boost to 37.33 ly)

4° jump to OOCHORRS WK-B C15-0 and finaly jump to Epsilon Orionis.
 
Well that looks remarkably non-random. Could you rotate the view and give us a top-down look at it? Ie 90deg around the X-axis. Thanks!

sorry this took me so long. I think the perspective of the 3D plot made it look more interesting than it is... happy new year!

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.

I remember in Beta when MB kept saying Thargoids were "coming" and even DB mentioned it many times.

The lack of progress is by design. They are waiting for the game to catch up with what they want to do. Also put some stuff out there and said "hahah lets see if they figure it out".

Unlocking any of it won't lead to anything in the game itself. They don't have the mechanics in place to really add anything new and exciting even if we did discover some alien base or ships etc..

I've spent 40 mins on the big G guy , and got no Beacon, I only found 2 wrecks , fun thing is that both didn't had the square that POI usualy have...

Just found one ... ¬¬"

I've seen dozens of these across the galaxy. They randomly spawn. I like finding them, but they are nothing special.


I'm also going to say, for the record, that the misnamed folder causing the barnacles not to spawn theory is a dead end. The programming is probably set to look for barnicle rather than barnacle. So I'm not gonna stop searching... yet.

And on that note, I've searched Bubble Nebula. I didn't find anything, and in retrospect, I'm not sure why I thought there would be anything. It's to far out.
I'm refining my search to 5000 lys out, to keep it more in line with the mission timer.

They may look like Nav Beacons, but if you scan their data point you get an Intel package for one of the Powers, so I think they may be spy satellites/drones
 
Please, it's a folder name. It means nothing.

No one would hard code an object path. You can call it BarnysUncle and it would still work, because you use some sort of constant or variable that is used to name the folder and is referenced in the code.

IMHO it's not a bug. There are at least 8 references to uknBarnicles in game folders.
As a developer I agree with Han_Zen, as always.
I can add to this that the UA is referenced both as Artefact and Artifact, in game files... and that does not seem an issue as well ;)
But worth checking and waiting for an official Devs reply on the matter.
Yes, thank you. The bug theory needs to die(along with the dark side of planet theory).

Dev confirmation that they are in game and working as intended would be nice(and maybe a little hint on where to find them), but we really need everyone out searching, rather than coming up with ridiculous theories as to why they can't be found.

Also think that they are in hot planets, not in cold ones as people are thinking
 
I reached Orion Nebula and started to map the systems although when I was driving on a 4 g planet and was climbing a hill my srv decided to explode on me :( ! Now I have no srv left all I can do is only scan the systems ! I'm pretty sure I didn't hit anything ! How could an srv suddenly decide to explode ?! I demand a restock mr Brookes ! In the name of socence !
I will stay in the nebula as much as I can ... If you guys want me to investigate anything please let me know before I leave for VY CANIS MAJORIS star ;) because after that I will travel towards the galactic core to grind for my elite rank and further investigations :)
i was serious about the srv part I demand a new one mr Brookes !

I agree with the investigation part but where do you want to search ? There are 400 billion stars with 1:1 scale and 1:1 scale planets out there . Again we need tips from the Devs
 
I think Cmdrs PanPiper & Paraszt are working on the assumption that the Horizons release trailer is all set in a single system/region of space. There is no evidence for that assumption, but none against it. There are, as far as I can see, absolutely no positional identification clues in the 2 second clip of the barnacles. It may be a reasonable assumption that FD put that clip in the sequence for us to go out & find, & therefore it is probably in the same or nearby position as the preceding clips so that we have some idea where to look. I think it would be absolutely unreasonable of FD if they had just pasted in the barnacle clip from a totally different & unrelated spatial location; they may not be very communicative with clues, & there may be some programming bugs that could mislead us, but I think they are totally straight with us wrt the storyline... So I suspect the barnacles may not be on the same planet as that surface port, but in that case they are on a different moon in the same system or a very close system.

Happy New Year to everyone at Frontier, & mine's a Lavian Brandy! :rolleyes:

Ok, It's worth trying to find the location of the base. I went back to start over from the source video and remade the star clip mask more accurately as I found I could not match the first one to the screenshot it came from. So here's a new one with extra stars and an image of it over a reference screenshot it came from so you tell which stars are which.

New star mask with bckgrnd.pngNew star mask.png


So far all I know for certain is that the planet with the base is located in the bubble not as far out as Ngobe.
Probably a system with at least 2 stars 1 large yellow and one small blue assuming the other scenes on the reddish planet are the same planet.

Aye I did a massive tour through there, out to the rim, heart and soul etc.. similar to the route it sounds like you've done (but I did not have the mission).

On the way back I came to the conclusion that the 6 day limit for the mission says to me that whereever they are they're not *that* far out, and posted such. Maybe 1000-2000LY from the bobble seems fair to me for a 6 day mission.

We should be checking all types of planets regardless.

It has to be something someone can reach and return from in 6 days(the mission timer).
Assuming an average play time of 2 hours a day and taking 1 hour or more to travel a thousand lightyears, within 5000lys is a good bet.

The scenes in the trailer were not all taken on the same planet.
