UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 5 - The Canonn

*** SUMMARY ***

* Here's what we know about barnacle distribution: Barnacles occur on planets within nebulae. They are known to occur in the vicinity of the Pleiades.
* Here's what we know about barnacle biology: Nothing.

Every other theory, feeling, interpretation, assumption is 100% speculation.

Whoever is seriously investigating the coordinates of some real earth-side stadium out of a random reddit post, will you please stop, it's crazy.

Some people know that Barnacles have seeds, whose people who got tired of the search and looked at game files like myself.
 
I went to go look at the Barnacle at lunch while in the Mobius group. I was about 20km up when I came out of SC near to the coordinates and I could actually see something from up that high... turns out that I could see someone's Anaconda parked near to the Barnacles but the Barnacles themselves didn't pop in until I was fairly close... haha

For a minute I was thinking that you could really see the Barnacles from far away.
 
Dont know why but the code changed a bit in Galnet on the homepage.

b?n?r? ??a??t L??: 27.?3 ??n?: 9?.??

to

b?n?r? ??a??t L??: 2?.?? ??n?: 9?.??


It is obivous! We must keep track those changes and just combine them. So we have now:

b?n?r? ??a??t L??: 27.?3 ??n?: 9?.??

For me this seems to be Binary Planet Lat: 27.?3 Lon: 9?.?? for now

Edit: Ninja'd several times..

Calling employees of Frontier liars on our forums is a swift way to getting your access to these forums completely revoked. This is the only public warning I'm going to give regarding these sort of posts. We do not tolerate harassment of employees on our forums.

Post respectfully and constructively, and we won't have issues.

Thank you.
Time to deconstruct this post and find a hidden message!
 
Pleiadies Sector TJ-Q B5-2 has a 2 binary planets around the first star (A2 & 3), just under 23ly from Maia. I'm there now, but I actually have to head out shortly so if anyone wants to take a punt...

LOL the funny thing is you may have looked at the game files but did you look at the materials that drop from the spikes of the Barnacle??? Those are the seeds man, they aren't a specific item they are just the skin for the materials that drop. Quite obviously seed like and most probably not anything to do with planting new Barnacles.

This is why looking at the files is stupid, you get no context and end up making inaccurate guesses based on what you've seen.
 
So if you feel a bit frustrated because what's happening didn't fit your thinking at the time... it's not worth getting in trouble. You might not yet have considered the following:

- MB thinks the first barnacles found were lower odds to find than the one he might have expected
- quite likely in MMO terms when one is found, iterations of that find may become more accessible suddenly so more players can be involved
- other findings in separate areas still local to Plaides nebula are a certainty given our recent hints. I think Riz knows this well ;)
- given that MB expected a more easy find, other findings may be even more important than this one

No-one's been wasting their time and there's probably more to find and also to influence.

We can see the story moving already, any person can still be part of that and there is much to still be uncovered.

Stay frosty, and positive CMDRs
 
So what are the characteristics of Merope 5C.

We'll obviously have to see if we can find another one there but it'd be good to use the planet as a guide to the next one.
It's the most metallic of the rocky planets in Merope.
It is also in the Goldilocks Zone for life based on similar biology to what we're used to.

No-one else has said it or even hinted at saying it.

Galnet post comes out with coordinates to a barnacle.
Suddenly barnacles are found.
I call shennanigans. I bet a virtual switch got flicked "on" and enabled the appearance of barnacles.
Too coincidental IMO.
 
Michael said previously that the 7 was wrong.... where's that darn quote?
Well the narrow's it down to a 10-degree square area then :p

It's the most metallic of the rocky planets in Merope.

So perhaps we can narrow the search down to planets with something like 14% metal, ~297K and 0.18G ?

90% sure that post came out right after Barnacles were confirmed to have been found, it triggered as a result of the finding.
 
Indeed sir. The FIRST ONE FOUND was in Merope :) Congrats to the commanders that persisted there.

I still think people are misinterpreting what I said and what Michael agreed with. The chance to find these on the surface of Merope 5C is no higher than the chance to find them on any other landable planet in the Pleiades with the same conditions. Now that we know what they look like and how to search for them, the findings will increase rapidly. And we will eventually find the hand placed ones in some cool locations.

The more planets, systems, and nebulae we find with Barnacles, the clearer the picture will become. And it will become more clear that the UAs are not pointing at Merope because of the Barnacles. There is another reason, and barnacles are part of that puzzle. A puzzle which might take months and years to realize.

Yeah, your theory probably still beats mine in terms of UAs pointing at Merope because barnacles are there. Only time and data will tell.
