Regarding the Galnet post, I have a theory:

"strength of signal indicates it originated from a star system approximately 23 light years from Maia. Unfortunately, interference from a local black hole has made it impossible to determine a vector for the transmission"

Notice it mentions the local black hole, which is quite a long way from Obsidian Orbital. If the signal get interference from the black hole, then perhaps it passed close to it. For each of the ~23ly systems, target them from OO and see which ones would have passed near the black hole in Maia.
 
I need someone to confirm Barnicles at JC-U b3-2 1 coordinates 21.93 , 96.98

If we're able to confirm that we can pretty much say barnacles are causing malfunction in electronic systems, that made the anaconda on na 20.86 , 91.73 crash !s,

We are starting to understand the reason why so many stations have been experiencing malfunctions!


coming with my wing
 
How do we know the Galnet article was refering to THIS barnacle just found, it could be another. It states a signal from a star 23ly from maia, i thought merope was only around 4-5ly from maia.
 
While I absolutely agree, it is also painful to think about how many hours were collectively wasted by CMDRs searching for barnacles in SOLO play. They simply aren't there, and many of us (me included) conducted hour after hour of search in SOLO.

Apart from SOLO, I also never get the barnacle site to spawn in my own group (WOODHOUSE).

Barnacle spawned normal to me in SOLO.
 
I spent some time at the barnacle in Mobius earlier. It might be a normal flight mechanic, but when I left the site I was scanned (assume by the barnacle) and then shortly after my ship engines all switched off and i'm frozen looking down on the site. Then I hear it singing to me, similar noises to the UA. I haven't done much planet based stuff so is this normal or is it the barnacle? I was carrying a meta alloy but no UA. It happened several times and I could restart my engines after a pause.

Crashed ship on Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2 1.
Coordinates are 20.8811, 91.7004 right above the Anaconda. There's a couple of dudes scouting the joint right now.
 
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.

What was guessed? What was inaccurate? The only things that was established was that they drop something with the model of a seed looking item, and it just so turns out that they are meta alloys. Don't know what was inaccurate in that statement.
 
Guys my I ask how do u find them. Do u fly and see them from the air or do you drive around and listen to the sounds?
Im at merope 5c at the moment, still no sign of any alien artifacts :'(
