new galnet post on the launcher.

Obs orbital is getting worse since the barnacle has been found (coincidence? i think not)

lets all sell the meta alloys there to see if it fixes anything.
 
On the marking - I'm not convinced it looks like Barnards loop, and if it does it's only from a certain direction that there would be that resemblance. Having said that...

If you go in galmap and look at only class B's like Merope there is a trail of them that lead to Barnard's loop.

Michael's comment about the 'nebula' (singular) they can be found in being linked to their origin is difficult (especially after the 'good thinking' comment that led everyone away from Merope) - could he have meant the OTHER nebula they can be found in, or does he mean that they are ONLY found in the Pleaides. Michael - care to comment?

Barnard's loop is, for the most part, close to the "edge" of the galaxy. So it would look similar to how we see it from earth, from a very wide swath.

secondly, and ive said this before, the path of stars leading to barnard's loop is likely just inaccuracy in plotting distance of known stars from earth, in real life. since many stars in the game are based on real star catalogs, that inaccuracy made it into the game. if you look close I think the "trail" points to earth. TL;DR: if you could go there in real life, it would be a blob, not a trail.
 
We have an Unknown Artifact at the Barnacle sight.

Nothing special seems to be happening. Typical glitter floats around the UA while it makes the typical sounds.

Need some idea. What tests can we try? It's been dropped directly on, and right next to the barnacle. That's it so far. It's been recaptured and stored for safety.
 
Well don't come on and tell the rest of us that it's obvious then! And I know perfectly well the scale of it thank you very much!

I was referring to those sections standing out massively from orbit when I used the word "obvious", they are very obvious from orbit. I wasn't saying it was obvious the Barnacles were there! If you know the scale of it you know that it is not a case of "why did you find it "and more a case of "wow I can't believe the guy who did find it found it"

Anyway this is meaningless, all I was trying to do was point out a possible environment or location that they are likely to be found it, some way to find more of them elsewhere, if this is the case then it cuts down the area that they can be found it by thousands of times. many planets don't even have these mineral deposits and those that do the deposits take up a fraction of the surface area.
 
Currently uploading, ~24 minutes of close looks at the barnacle, inluding ~11 minutes of just recording the sound it makes.

Also, I forgot to do close ups of the pillars...
 
I'm afraid not - the nebula that they can be found in relates to their origin and I can't talk about that.

Michael
By reading way too much into this I would say that this means that aside from the Pleiades they appear in exactly one other nebula.

Edit: So, Michael, about that "Great Barnacle Hunt of 3302" community decal that I made up you'd give to the participants of this search... ;-)

No I don't mean the famous "road". It takes some effort to follow this trail, and it's not a straight line. The stars are not easy to find, it takes a lot of rotating and zooming to find the next in the chain.

its up to you, but destroying the ua next to the barnacle might do something.

edit if you dont want to do it im on my way with another

has anyone tried scanning the pilars in different orders. to me, it looks like that central structure could potentially open. maybe im thinking too much into it.

also is the second one pointing to merope?
