The barnacle spikes (at least the ones from Merope 5C) have a chance to spawn (amongst more common materials) Yttrium/Mercury/Arsenic/Tungsten

Could we potentially make the coonection then, that if the planet features those particular metals chances are barnacles could be found there? I don't think those metals are there because of the barnacles, rather the opposite.
 
Beware if sighseeing near Anaconda: 20.8736 - 91.6983

I am being warned that the cutter hovering by it is killing people.

If someone actually bothered to take the time to come up with a decent RP angle justifying their distaste for the research (I mean I could, and I want MOOOAR research!) and allowing for a bit of true fair combat (i.e. enlisted combat cmdrs on both sides etc) then I might have more respect for this.

But a Cutter - against an exploration/science vessel!?

Must be such a skillful CMDR there to take out research ships. I'm in awe. ;)

It's the LMC, I was posting the same thoughts on it.
What if, with the new Antares drives hype, we'll be able to travel to another Galaxy?
LMC would be

160kly? I don't think so :)

Nothing that says whoever's 'over there' couldn't get 'over here' though...

Hang about.......how does a Cutter even hit a nimble, agile research vessel?

Ps: Where to next, Gents? What is the next stage of the puzzle to ponder over while I fill my Anaconda cargo hold with meta - alloys :D

Yeah, yesterday I respawned on the barnacle site and got shot on the ground by a ship. Those guys are cowards looking for easy pickings. If I had anything to do about it, they would be put in the griefers instance pool instead of bothering honest players under false pretences.

The edge of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy is closer to Sol than Sagittarius A*. I think that's the closest Galaxy to ours unless something closer has been discovered, a lot closer than the LMC anyway. You still need a LOT of jumponium though :)
 
Heres the thing though. as much of an annoyance as it is, it plays into the idea of this game if you ask me. Say this were all real and a bunch of explorers and scientists did discover soemthing. something that is worth more than any of the other commodaties in the market currently. you bet your arce that pirates wuld come to try and take out ships and steal their loot. granted these guys arent nessasarily doing that but imo it plays into the lour. if ya dont like it, play in solo. thats what iv been doing as i dont feel like dealing with it durring the week. the weekend where i have more time to combat this sort of thing i play open.

I admit this is complete speculation on my part, but, from a distance standpoint the LMC should be a doable affair with some proper handwavium I would think' as opposed to say Andromeda. I think with the proper materials mix (read stuff that comes out of these alien structures) and a badass military / hybrid drive Mk.III you could synthesize a proper one shot galactic hyperdrive that can blast you all the way to the LMC.... that would be nice.

Are you sure? I thought that one was about 20000 parsecs so about 65000 Ly.

Because 400 billion stars is not enough?
 
Great so we just discovered what seems to be a living alien species. And what is the first thing that we do? Let's shoot it and sell it! Has no one thought of the potential ramifications of doing this? Isn't it us that started the thargoid war by shooting first?

I thought it was closer to $400K?


Also, someone posted a screen grab here of an "alternate" mission that appeared after he had harvested some Meta-Alloy, in which a System Security Officer was offering him double ($800+K) for the MA.

Yes, can we have an update/feedback from whoever got that mission update on what happened please?
