Not yet, but I've been sat on Merope farming meta-alloys to deliver to the boys in the lab back at Bond Hub, if they do come after me they'll probably do it once I'm flying with MA's in the hold, we'll have to wait and see

I'm now full and about to head back to varati, been in open near crashed conda and haven't seen an other cmdr yet :)
 
People have mentioned are the barnacles pointing to something. here is a picture i took with debug camera from inside barnacle at Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2. interesting.

So the barnacle is directly aligned towards the sun on a tidally locked planet?

Edit: Now i'm woozy. Were they on tidally locked planets or not?

Now if that is a method to find 'em, with the hinting of the UA aligning with the sun,
this deserves some extra facepalms! DUH! :D

Not going to work I'm afraid - Merope 5C is tidally locked to Merope 5, not Merope. P-Sector JC-U B3-2 planet 1 is tidally locked to planet 2, not the main star.

Hmm but to have a chance to "see the sun" in a zenith like on the vids a barnacle has to be within a certain
zone of latitude right, depending on the tilt of the body the are on righto?

Checking the first post, most barnies are within the 20ish latitude
with one exception.

Cannon Scientists please be advised I have a shipment of 72 Meta Alloys in transit to the Cannon Central Research Labs at Bond Hub. I hope you've got your white coats ready ;)


(this is going to be the only big run like this I do though, it may be a quick way to make money but it gets pretty boring after a while)

try selling them one at a time. just from jmanis' experience with the UAs

i have a further 100 ready to delivery once I've walked the dog. (yes the Anaconda is big enough to walk a dog)

Very tinfoil hat....
Could Caine Massey have been a shadow corporation trying to reuse old thargoid/alien tech to generate new weapons / defenses and it 'got away from them' and started getting out of control / because of its semi-organic nature ... could have intelligence

okay.. couple things that have been on my mind after catching up here this morning.

first of all.. if someone offers you a whole lot more money for something.. then they are probably the evil scientists/corp. we should probably focus on helping the other guys who first offered the mission.

second. were we supposed to just find a random barnacle in the pleiades and then they were ready to send us to the conda with galnet? because the conda is way outside the area we were searching and not too obvious of a place to look. MB made it seem like we would find a different one easier then the 5C one but we didnt. im just wondering if there is more in the pleiades we should be searching for. maybe more clues to lead to the next step. i dunno. im at work attempting to theorize instead of doing my job. lol.
Sounds like a evil corp - where can I sign up. :)
.
No really, this sounds all reasonable. From day 1.0 I was wondering why there is no Thargoid tech found in ED. No crash sites, no salvage. Did it decompose or got collected for further analysis.
.
Time to watch X-Files again while is SC (actually doing this :D) or one of my favorite classic SciFi movies
