UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 5 - The Canonn

this is my way of working in the canonn , and im doing this to not be like some people who rage quit , i dont wanna be like them so instead of being negative i decided to do this , unless you want me to express my rage on how lucky we were on finding the barnaclesId post this as a new thread on the main forum as were more focussed on barnacles and UA than getting your Elite explorer rank
im sorry for the dry language but i dont care about the barnacle part of the mystery because i feel all my effort on finding them has gone to waste so instead i will focus on what im good at and that is exploration and that is also science for the canonn
My search of Barnard's loop is thus far unsuccessful. Searched a system right next to flame nebula, ngc 1999, and three planets in a system in the loop. Will report in again tomorrow morning!
We now need to try and find them elsewhere. Then see if the marking is different in other nebulae. Might be some sort of map/trail to follow.

I think they were trying to help by sending you somewhere where the question would be picked up on and answered.. Posts are lost quickly in this thread when it's moving as fast as it has been recently, especially ones that are a bit off topic.
The subreddit /Eliteexplorers is probably your best place to ask. Lots of helpful explorers and Canonn people there.
I have both in my cargo and it still does damage... good theory though maybe it only works on stations. Also the alloys are in canisters once you capture them.
i am aware of those pages but reddit is blocked by my government ( Iran ) and no one is more frustrated than me because this prevents me form alot of info so please try to understand
Quite the opposite. It was just an issue of how quick this thread is moving. Your request for help would be drowned out by everyone else, whereas if it was a new thread in the main forum you would probably get more assistance, at the very least you'd get more visibility

Feel free to PM us if you need help with something specific. And there are plenty of deep space nebula that need finding and exploring in the name of the Canonn. .. which will build you explorer rank at the same time... fly safe commander. .o7
Hey Ayal not sure if you noticed, thread moves too fast, but I answered your question back here : https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=222049&p=3431551&viewfull=1#post3431551

This thread really does deserve the name 'threadnaught' doesn't it?
Two things I want to talk about:
One, with the capability and ambition of FD in sound design of the game, there is simply no way they would use the same sound clips for both the barnacle and the UA if they were not related. They design a different sound for everything in game. Why would this be the first time they cut corners and recycle sound assets?
Second,from the first time we heard of the term 'Large Barnacle', I'm hang up on the word 'large' here. I don't think there are different sizes of barnacles and these happen to be the large ones. I think, with the weird coincidence(?) of the barnacle logo fitting almost perfectly to the negative image of the in game 'LARGE' Magellanic Cloud, it could be the space game design equivalent of a Freudian slip.
They could have called them large barnacles for short of 'LMC barnacles' during their design process and that term somehow made it into the mission description.
End of tinfoil hattery.

In the UA?
No, I don't think so- taking the analogy further, UAs behave like Helper T cells, since they behave in a similar way (scanning, collecting information). They do not actively try to kill you (doing it passively). A giant ring of UA's forming a shell pointing at a spot in space seems the UAs want something 'else' to look there, as the shell is not dense enough to harm anything.
Try to use a free VPN or some extension like zenmate. They should go through the blockage of Reddit (or other sites that are blocked).
Just a suggestion from someone suffering from another outdated and backwards government (guess which one)
I think I solved the barnacle symbol puzzle:
It means we don't have to wear those smelly things anymore - we only needed them to find barnacles
On a 'serious' note - that symbol means that barnacles are belongings of some sentient species and they specifically marked their property in such a way that we would easily understand that message.

Anybody know why the purple/blue gas cloud that the barnacle spews out continuously is not visible from the outside?
Another bug?

With these nices discoveries (Barnacles, UA'S) i try to figure how Thargoids or other alien lifeform would be.

It is either due to lighting so it's very faint or invisible in certain lighting conditions, or it can be a feature triggered by a random number so it sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't.
Haa anyone found a Barnacle that hasn't been persistant? I haven't seen any mention of one in a blue POI, which if I recall MB said they would be found in both. So maybe we haven't found there natural spawning location, these so far have all been placed.

I think it is visible from the outside, at least I first noticed it in a video showing the outside.
It's just really suppressed, and I think that supression is intentional. It seems more visible when the barnacle's in a dark area.
Some of the barnacle's characteristics seem to be that of a suppressed UA, blue twinklies but less, high/low purrs but at a much slower rate.
Maybe the rate of the purple/green pulsing might be worth looking at.
Hmm and perhaps this could mean that there *is* morse in the barnacle soundscape somewhere.... again but supressed?
