It probably, isn't like you say. I don't think downed nav beacons show up as blue circles from ship either - just randomly spawn whilst on the ground.

There just for you.

Those Canyons at speed..... this is what Horizons was made for.
What's a defender? An Old Earth vehicle?
if cmdrs screenshot every poi the coordinates show on picture, from this we might get a clue just don't post them all.lol.
also i have been driving my srv for days and only seen 1 guardian sentry protecting a t7 wreck. anybody else seen any guardians?

Something they stopped making apparently.
They do show up as blue POI's thats how I've found most of mine.
But yes, it probably isn't persistent, but if it IS then it could be important. Though hiding a clue in a thing that's even SMALLER than we expect a Barnacle to be seems counter intuitive doesn't it?
Also: Nearly 50 pages in well under 48 hours? madness.

For the constellation search commanders:
-Pleione and Atlas are NOT part of the constellation.
-The galactic of the constelation, using D1-42 as reference, coincides with MAIA.
-Managed to locate a second star of the constellation: 71 PI TAURI

Practical Information while Searching
POI Zones vs Persistant POI sites
- POI: Blue zones on your radar, best effect at altitudes 1.5km - 1.8km. Above 2km and higher the Zone may increase in size on your radar.
A POI is Non-persistent. It'll dissapear on reconnect or a session change.
You need to trigger the visibility of a POI on ground by getting close enough, range depending on POI may be 2-3km.
- PPOI: No indicator on Radar. It may be visible from 15km or so depending on your graphic settings.
It's sharable between commanders, altough you may experience a glitch where the site is not spawning.
Useful Tools
- Ability to look around with tracking device such a TrackIR.

Q: Which released version though? Vanilla or Horizons.

Q: Unfortunately the article on galnet was written by a player so it still most likely is just lazy POI placement.
05/01/2016, 6:15 PM
Q: Soo, does this mean we don't need the mission to find them?
Or any other special requirements (like an UA in the cargohold)?

Q: Thanks Michael, we appreciate narrowing the search.
I think for the purposes of continuity and those who don't follow the forums it'd be useful if this snippet of info was revealed in game through a Galnet article.

Q: Barnacles grow on rocks, so have you tried planetary rings and asteroid belts? In particular around planets with no atmosphere?
07/01/2016, 4:15 PM
Q: Does it make a differance whether one looks in Open, Private Group, or Solo modes?
07/01/2016, 6:08 PM
Q: I would focus search on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celaeno - Note Cuthulu. MB is rather fond of Lovecraft's works.....
07/01/2016, 6:26 PM
Q: @MB as your about at the mo could you clear something up for me please.
When a player submits a Galnet post what is the criteria for getting one on.
does it have to be just well written or does it have to be something that will not take us in the wrong direction? or both?

Q: @MB Question, say that if the Explorers on the PC find these 'Barnacles' and said Barnacles have a certain effect on the Galaxy/ED itself.
Will that effect transfer to the connected universe on Xbox?
08/01/2016, 10:59 AM
Q: MB also said that Barnacles are randomly found although some have been placed in certain systems.

It'll be newsworthy when someone discovers them

Just a check-in: Been zipping around various landable bodies in the Pleiades, focusing mostly on the various greenish/yellowish patches some of them have, under the hypothesis that barnacles might be more often found in identifyable geographic regions.
Nothing of note so far, but I am reminded how much I hate the Asp flight model. Thinking of swapping to Cobra III or a Keelback...

I´m working with a fellow commander now to try to triangulate the Galactic Coordinates from where we may have the right angle.
Has anyone come across data points like this one before?
It was in a random POI, guarded by skimmers and surrounded by a few small structures. I assume it's irrelevant to the barnacles but figured I'd throw it out there since I've never seen one before, not pics or on anyones streams either. It gave me Empire data point intel.
Another thought that occured to me: what if collecting data point intel in Merope and selling it would eventually trigger a Galnet story about things that have been going on in the area, ie barnacles? It's not likely, but it would be a somewhat interesting way of doing it with ingame tools.

A few recordings of broken nav sats... if someone is willing to look for ... something

Yep, those are fairly common Data points.
I'll send a copy of the quotes in PM to Patau and rizal, perhaps they can edit it in.
Thanks. So the persistent contacts we've seen thus far have no scanner circles. It's a reasonable assumption, but still an assumption.
I'll stick to the scanner POI search. There's no way in heaven or Earth that I'm going to waste any time doing a visual range search of dozens of planets, not when there's drying paint to be watched..
Ok, thanks! Strange that I haven't come across one before. No wonder I can't find any barnacles
It's a setting on the bottom of your right menu.
