MB said "Nebulae are good places to look, especially the one with the seven sisters in it." So he is talking about the nebulae with the seven sisters in it, which possible means the whole nebulae.

But it is interesting to note that he didn't capitalise "seven sisters", & he seems usually to be fairly precise in his statements; he is an author, so I would expect his grammar to be precise. The Seven Sisters is another name for the Pleiades & hence should be capitalised- hypothesis: he may be hinting at Maia with its seven sister dwarf stars, which of course is within the Seven Sisters nebula

Others had similar problems in thread 4 (about 4 days ago!)- if you really are stuck try logging out & then log in using v1.5 which should put ou in your ship in orbit around the planet/moon.

Heres the rest of my data. I'll check out your spreadsheet soon. I was planning on doing the sisters later for a break in planet scouring

What would be nice for the awesome people who are making spreadsheets, would be to track what coordinates on planets have been searched so far. That way we know if we're looking somewhere someone already searched (bugs and missing "permanent" objects notwithstanding).

I realise that they are apparently heading outward (based on where they've been found through time), but the idea that they're pointing inward is, as I said, moot.

Imagine I'm driving a car away from a city, and have a directional radio transmitter on the roof which sends data to the city. Is the car pointing inwards or outwards? If the transmitter is omnidirectional, and the car has a jet thruster at the rear, is it pointing towards or away from the city?

The notion that they are pointing in a particular direction depends on what their purpose or function is. If they are travelling away, then they could just as validly be said to be pointing in their direction of travel.

All we can say for sure is that they align on a vector defined by the position of Merope and the position of the particular UA - and every vector points in two directions.

I believe the reason we're saying they're moving away from Merope is because free-floaters were originally found much closer to the Pleiades and then later at the 130-150ly distance.

Not sure if it is anything, and we know the galaxy map can throw us a curve ball, but can someone verify, that it is not a glitch or something weird my end.
I was filtering out the stars and just left class b blue stars in the filter, looking at all the class b in the nebulae and if you select Maia, the star is not static it blinks on and of when you zoom in and out, all the other stars remain static.
I reset the filters back to cover all stars, and it still does the same thing.
Maybe nothing at all or is it a pointer for us?

Once I've heard a ticking sound while I was trying to locate POI, closing in. There was a couple of them around, but I didn't manage to locate any. I thought, my laptop fan has broken, or a glitch.
It was silent ticking, about two or three times a second. Had to check with SVR, but I wasn't thinking of it a that moment. Now I can't remember, which planet it was. (((

What is "silent ticking" and how can you hear it?

I belive you are missing his point, he was saying that we haven't considered WHY they are found in nebulae. What reasoning is there for that being the location they are found? He's not asking why we are searching there/ how we know they are there.

@OP: We have no information other than they exist & are associated with meta-alloys (see Wiki description of those). However you can speculate that if Barnacles are living organisms (name implies that) then they may metabolise the mixture of organic molecules & metals present in a nebula & may then excrete the meta-alloys to get rid of the metal elements. Until the storyline is extended (presumably by Prof Palin) then we are guessing.

They mean that strange sound i never heard from scanner like background breathing or something, getting louder and then quiter in cycles.

Regarding the video: Thats a skype notification :) (And nothing creepy regarding the other sounds - all normal).

Not skype sounds, they mean some strange "breathing sound" in background quite similar to sound when scanner show random wide lines of noise, but it is not standart it gets louder and quiter.
