Sorry I haven't gone through the 431 pages to try and find the info I am looking for. I read some pages but the discussion there was concentrating on very specific issues. I guess my questions will be easy to answer.
I read some basic info from newsletters and websites about UA and barnacles. I was thinking about going for a fun exploration trip anyway, and now that there is a chance to take part in something that the devs clearly planned as a potentially interesting game feature I would like to spend a few days on it.
So what should I do to have any chance of discovering something? The newsletter and other new are mentioning the Merope system specifically, but earlier we were asked to try the entire region. Based on cmdrs' experiences, were these barnacles found only on one planet?
Also, can they be spotted from the ship or is it only possible in the SRV (I hate driving this thing TBH)? From what I read it should be possible to locate a place of interest from the ship.
Any other tips or helpful links would be great.
