I cannot help but wish, for the sake of the story and my journey in Elite, that searching and finding these barnacles relied on something a wee bitty more than flying around planets for hours on end relying on blind, dumb luck to spot a pop-up.
There has to be a better way, FD. Would be nice to be sat docked in a station and overhear surreptitious NPC comms chatter over a 'secure' channel, follow a clue overheard from the NPC to another NPC, sweat him over a laser sunburn to get more info, track another NPC to a planetary base where a search is conducted for a hidden stash containing coordinates for a system that 'something weird, green and alien' was spotted, although due to data corruption, coordinates are sketchy, said mission turning into a mercy-mission as well as said NPC Commanders Wingman was lost in a green fog that enveloped his craft upon closer inspection and so on and so on.
With a wee bit of imagination I would relish the search if couched in a wee bit of mystery.
Oh well, off to do what needs done before my now weary search continues. The lower left quadrant of my right Femur aches (I feel it in my bones) when I think of Electra......
I'm pretty much convinced there was more to it we just failed to find it.
I fail to believe they would set up a system where we go " right we guess the area to look, it's an entire nebula! lets search the place!"
I do agree though that if none of us found it after all this time, it was to much of an obscure clue.
