PowerPlay 2.0, which alien race will you decide to help?
No, I did say, we know how they react to shooting. They spill materials. No need to shot any more. They won't give biscuits any time soon.
Just posted my rant in the bug thread.

I honestly feel this is getting beyond a joke now.
You see bug after bug that means everytime you engage in one of these things you're more than likely just throwing valuable free time down pan.

Yeah... not so darn surprising they took so long to 'find'. I wouldn't be surprised if the very location was scoured hundreds and hundreds of times without a proper 'spawn'.. thus as a result of buggy behavior, a lot of player search hours blown. Ironic how they were found rather quickly after 'maintenance' occured not long before. ;P Whee!

I've also been to 3 different locations to no avail.
Beginning to think I've landed on the wrong planet!!!!!

That, then consider that server maintenance and everything like that tends to happen at times convenient to players in Europe.
I feel like I've gotten the shaft a couple times, being an American CMDR, in regard to server timing on certain fixes and goals and such.
/complaining
I really do think we shouldn't "fix" all the stations with malfunction problems we should definitely leave 1 or 2 as controls. one unknown thing causing problems and another unknown thing fixing them seems to convenient. can we please leave 1 or 2 to science?
We could agree to do that but honestly things like that are (I assume) very much storyline driven, so if this developing story requires one station crash and burn on the side of a planet so be it... if not more than likely Ishmael "Johnny Come Lately" Palin will ride triumphantly on Canonn's coattails. Question is how do we want this story to go? Canonn super villains who infected and nearly caused armageddon smuggling illegal alien artefacts.... or responsible scientist who worked overtime to bring this potentially fatal issue to a close?
Choose wisely.
(disregard Lab 69's comments please)
where was the star background taken from? trying to recreate.
Heading for Barnarcs loop on the chance that is what the logo indeed signifies. There's a lot of ground to cover out there. I may not come back. First stop ngc 1999. If my search is in vain, at least I can say I enjoyed the view.
p.s. there are a lot of complaints in here which I don't get. I had tons of fun scouring planets and flyin around for hours. I wouldn't care if the barnacles had turned out to never exist in the first place.

I'm on the way there as well for a look. I'm going check out the mass of yellow stars around the Orion Nebula first before heading into Barnard's Loop.
Good point. i like the idea of the old days when you couldn't check online every 5 seconds to see how to play a game or how to find things. so i hope stations that aren't cured/fixed also have a function. dont get me wrong i love these threads and iv been here from the beginning. but i like to think MB and DB have a plan that we dont know and cant influence to much.
bring on the next phase! this is what makes elite the game i want to play.
Also, Im not sure if anyone has proposed this connection yet. Odd thought I was having this morning: The top of the UA and Barnacle seem similar, and the pods on the bottom of the UAs could contain the initial growth. Let it borrow into the ground, extract resources, and bring them to the surface. That or its extract resources to nourish itself and the roots just expose themselves above ground
Already did a count comparison and there are more than 12 spikes (12 pods on UA), but still felt its a possibility

If we're looking for perspective, the Rosette Nebula looks towards Barnard's with a similar pattern.

"responsible" scientist deliver to our science team at Bond Hub in Varati, early reports from samples already collected indicate they may be on the verge a major breakthrough!
A new, better, more powerful tinfoil hat!
oh and we've got to fix the station too
.
Sorry if it's been said before (not enough time to read everything on this crazy growing thread), but: I suppose there are CMDRs carrying both UAs and meta alloys now. Do their ships continue to degrade?
I've been to the Merope site last night and have a few meta alloys onboard, but never had a UA in my hold. So, I'm wondering, if the MA cure stations does it somehow prevent UA's to harm our ships?
Has the "shell" expanded since the discovery of the barnacles?
