UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 5 - The Canonn

Stretch: barnacles live on whales. Any lore related to whales and the Pleiades?

I've been working on splitting blue and green light from the UA's, and counting the pulses to make morse and stuff.

It turns out that the difference between 'all high' and 'all ultra' are pretty dramatic, as the UA has completely different timings and effects on a gtx 770 vs a radeon 5770. Different timing, colours, everything.

A signal in the spectra is a bust, unless it's only intended to be find-able for the fancy rigged folk.

One more hill. One more crater. You know its in there... Bed can wait, because you know its JUST THERE

I did find a crashed bowl of petunias if that helps?

I checked Merope 5 B on the coords 34.0431, -118.2672 and found nothing. Gonna check the nearby planets.

But, man, there were some locations at these coords perfect for the barnacle, my heart was racing with the possibility of finding them. Thanks, FD.

...exactly at the North Pole...

You were on the equator not the pole. The North Pole is 90 degrees latitude. Doesn't take away from the interesting finding, though.

If you're going by the Staples thing you posted earlier, I keep saying you have the coords wrong. They're both positive

 

[Fendalton]

Yeah, there not on Pleione 6 from what I can see so far. Going to try the pole.

Oh no, not again.

 

[Junky Juke]

Still nothing uh? I'm going to work, catch you later folks and do not find it without me!!!! >.<

Morning, still no Joy then.

I have to say the description "Common in certain regions of space" is complete and utter poppycock!

If 500+ commanders searching the region can't find 1 Barnacle then they are NOT Common at all! Also if they do grow/form in the right conditions then one would expect at least a quarter of a planet's surface to be covered in them.

Yep, I'm frustrated at the way this is panning out, so far there are Zero clues in-game, even the Meta Alloy description does not give any real detail, not even a color or size.

Poppycock I tell ya... Poppycock!

No, meta-alloys are "common in certain regions of space". Large barnacles are "exceedingly rare". lol

I'm looking at 34.xxxx, -118.xxxx.
Longitude is negative.

I suspect that means meta-alloys are common in the exceedingly rare regions of space where barnacles are. So once you find a barnacle you'll easily find meta-alloys. All conjecture of course, but the best interpretation I can come up with at the moment.

Longitude West is negative not positive.

Why is there a reddit post from only 2 months ago on a hockey sub with the EXACT wording of that log entry?? https://www.reddit.com/r/losangeles..._are_celebrating_a_year_together_in_a/cwmb7pf

Its the same as the Log Entry https://i.imgur.com/7Hl7i9R.jpg

Where did this 'log entry' come from?



(I'm wondering if it was the correct number of ly from Earth to be a transmission from the present day that just arrived at the finder's location)

Fuel for the fire.

I found this when searching barnacle on the Elite Dangerous wiki

Exactly.

Just checked Merope 5 A and C. Zippo. The area on A was very dark, so if there was any source of green light or any kind would've been easy to spot.

I'm calling the day. Good luck with the search, CMDRs!

Yes, but the Staples Center is at 34.xxxx, 118.xxxx. Not 34.xxxx, -118.xxxx. You should know this, you're the one who posted it. If you don't believe me, google it.

A part from searching randomly on every planet that, at the moment, is all we can do with the clues MB told us, there is a fact that emerge from all this stuff:
The only manually surface placed structure currently known on Pleiades is Poulov Keep on MAIA B1D; what's the reason for this? A camp without ports in the middle of nowhere... why? For sure it was manually placed. I can't stop thinking that must be some relation with all MB post in these last days.

Game crashed again, submitted a ticket to support. (which is in the spoiler)

Spoiler

Looking for Barnacles in my ImperialCourier in Open on Pleione 6 at the pole, sound cut out for 0.3 seconds, frame rate froze, sound resumed for 1.0 seconds then froze for 0.3 seconds again, then game crashed.

I officially give up looking, it's not worth my time.
