Yes, this thread has an amazing posting rate. btw,. I posted a nebula theorie 10 days ago:
ps: postponed the deep space trip and search within the AU bubble.
Has anyone read this article about the Pleiades : http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/11/071114203718.htm
Also has anyone come across the star HD 23514 because I have searched, would it be renamed?

I looked for that and didn't find it either.
Where is this?
Anyone else ever seen this before? Just a bunch of npcs sitting outside Obsidian..

Looks like someone's blocking their docking queue : /
Yesterday I had a cobra that went backwards inside the station during it's landing approach, no idea why it did that, there was no one in the way or anything.

Pleione 11 is a very special planet, it holds the record for the largest high metal content planet as well as the one with the most moons
I was just wondering, does anyone know where the main menu planets are?
The one the in the background looks pretty interesting to say the least.
And as far as looking places goes, it's a place as good as any other (if it's in a nebula atleast).

I have to imagine it's just for looks and doesn't exist in the game. I shudder to think about the gravitational effects of the two moons that close.. Add on a station orbiting close enough to view like that? Gotta just be for pretty appearances
The moon being so close isn't impossible but the station is there for looks. As for the main planet it definitely exists but I don't know anyone who could tell you where it is.
With any luck, Horizons will come to Xbox before a barnacle is found, giving us a chance to join the search..
Luckily for y'all my luck is nonexistent haha

good ol' PV=nRT
Has anybody tried to jettison an unknown artefact on one of the surface worlds of interest? If so what happened? If not I feel it would be quite interesting to see the result.
Been doing some numbers on the above example. If anyone thinks I have something wrong, you're welcome to chime in. Here's what I reckon...
Planet circumference: 20,000km (assuming a perfect sphere for this)
Distance pole to pole: 10,000km (half of circumference)
Ship speed: 300m/s or 0.3km/s
Total number of passes along lines of latitude 1km apart: 9,999
Total distance travelled: 127,323,968 km
Total seconds in motion: 424,413,192
Total hours in motion: 117,893
The ship would take 13.5 YEARS to cover this example planet.
The basic calculation for each pass is cos(lat) * planet circumference. The increment for latitude in degrees, for a 1km step, is about 0.018 (or about 1.08 arc minutes). I didn't account for the first and last passes being 0.5km from the poles (I used 1km from the poles), so there is a small error of a handful of seconds due to that.
That's 13.5 years, flying constantly with no breaks. Even with 135 commanders in a coordinated effort, it would still take 0.1 years of constant, non-stop play with no breaks. If they each played 2.4 hours per day, it would take a year. For this one planet. Smaller ones will take less time, bigger ones will take longer.
I'm tempted to think that looking for a random POI will get a result sooner. Homing in on likely candidate planets or planetary features may well be quicker still. Suffice to say, belay any notion of brute force searching for manually placed barnacle sites - it's a complete and utter waste of time.
About UA's, and I am sure it has been mentioned before:
I just watched a video of a UA "dying" and I noticed it looks rather similar to a hyperjump in Frontier: Elite II and Frontier: First Encounters. I wonder if they're not actually hyperjumping away, instead of blowing up. The jet they emit at the moment, could be a kind of propulsion.
I know, not really relevant to the barnacle quest, but it's late and I was wondering.

It's been proposed as a hypothesis and we've done frame by frame analysis of it, but the hypothesis didn't go anywhere.
There has to be more things in game to point towards their location. We shouldn't have to result to 3rd party resources, as not everyone has access to them.
There will have to be more clues, or evidence, or breadcrumbs that lead to the barnacles.
I would suggest you look for more clues before the barnacles themselves. Look for clues that point towards certain nebula or systems.
EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised if those planets that look to have green on the surface led to somewhere, as in 'this system has a planet that looks green from a distance, wonder if the next system does' or something like that, which if you connect them together (the stars) spells out something on the galaxy map or has a pattern of sorts.

I don't think this is actually related in any meaningful way, but the targets name was interesting. Christian Dock is where Palin first did his research, and now we know he will be doing it in Maia. Just a strange name for a person, that also happens to reference two systems that have officially had UA storyline take place in them.
[FONT="]If the barnacles are related to meta-alloys,maybe that is what their shell is made of, if so then they might be found onlyon high metal content or metal rich worlds, where there is plenty of rawmaterial to make the shell. I don't have any evidence for this though so it's just speculation on my part.[/FONT]
