UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 5 - The Canonn

Umhhhh... this just happened

Was there a crashed anaconda somewhere on Charon? Li Qing Jao station in Sol is experiencing malfunctions, maybe there is a barnacle site somewhere close to the crashed anaconda on charon...

Tidally locked does not help. It has to be on the pole of a planet with little axial tilt to keep pointing at the same system.

Even a pole doesn't guarantee anything because the axis of rotation precesses, like a spinning top that wobbles. Even a slight wobble makes a big difference unless the pole star is very close.

And who do you think I am, Superman?
If you are having troubles, I'm having the same.

I will post only the ones that have been PMed to me. For now.
Thanks to the CMDRs who sent me PMs.

Anyway THERE IS NO MORSE IN THE BARNACLES SOUND.

Appears the one's surrounding the anaconda are random POIs, none of the coordinates are consistent each time I change instance (avoiding solo).
However the one on Merope 5C seems to be persistent.

Unsure if real or not though in that case...

The discovery of the barnacle in Merope 5 C today? Does the data match with the strange message for 2 cards for a LA Kings Game?

It looks like even the random spawns have a certain set of conditions they require. They spawn near the crashed ship which will have the same general characteristics.

The most common characteristic seems to be the yellow sand other than being inside a nebula.

Can confirm disappearing barnacles. Restarted my game while hovering over a barnacle JC-U B3-2 21-96 and it wasnt there anymore (Solo). Logged out and back into open play and it was there again..

 

[neliodv]

um... you're at 21.6237-89.0192 in that screenshot.. that's a new one then?

The same near the crashed conda.

 

[bitstorm]

So as well as sparklies the barnacles appears to have some sort of MIST above it, like it's giving off waves of some sort.

Not the UA style double image, something different.

wow instancing is pretty bad, from orbital to planet is taking forever

I'm a idiot. I meant wobble not tilt. Yoda was helpful to point i out.

Thanks anyway.

I agree, there has to be something more to it. Something geologically related.

 

[AlexVII]

Main question now is: do they drink Tea? Would explain a lot.

Unfortunately, no.
Dropped canisters of tea on it - nothing.

But wild SRVs quickly grabbed all the tea.

 

[Alkibiades]

so that conda is the ship that sent the message galnet was talking about?

 

[Cynaqq]

Looks like it.

Why it wouldn't send the name of the system and planet is a mystery though

They've all been in canyons.

I have to say... these yellowish planets are pretty ulgy... must be quite tasty for all these barnacles...

 

[bitstorm]

SRV spontaneously combusted while next to the barnacles, had 2 meta-alloy onboard.
