UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 5 - The Canonn

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
I am interested in going VR this year, but I'm a spectacle wearer with astigmatism & have varifocal lenses. Do you have an opinion on use of Oculus with specs?
Sorry, I can't speak to that personally. The DK2 came with alternate, shorter lenses to give people room for glasses, and theoretically I think everything should work the same as long as the lenses aren't knocking together. I would definitely say try whichever headset you want before committing though (with ED if possible), so I don't lead you astray...
 
I have just visited the persistent POI at Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 2, and observed TWO Barnacles while on site. I could observe one site from other, and drove between the sites in the SRV.

Reading a bit, and checked the spreadsheet... Looks like several Barnacles are known in this area. Mine is near one of the others listed, but I didn't see more than the two sites while I was there. I've submitted the report to the spreadsheet, anyway.

Screenshot of the second site (note that coordinates do not match the persistent site):

And a screenshot from that same Barnacle site pictured above, looking at the persistent POI, which you can see in the darkness, centered in my SRV camera view:

EDIT: And while touring both sites, I did not see any of the large "ripe" Meta-Alloys on the spires. Only the smaller type.


There are actually three there, very close to each other!

No.1 @ 49.98,101.51
No.2 @ 49.75,102.15
No.3 @ 49.53,102.08
 
So at this point, noone has found any other sites in other nebulas, right? I'm in Orion and I'm flitting around various systems to have a look, but planets are quite big, and I've yet to come across anything other than the usual gold guarded by seekers, and a downed satellite - quite what they're doing out there is anyone's guess (ingame - obviously we know why they're there.), but I'll keep looking for a little longer before I come on home and make a few credits with the exploration data.

It would be nice if the story was helped on a bit, giving us some indiction we're not wasting our time - no coords, just something...
 
Now that's a quite leap in deduction...

I thought the Antares was prototype ship for the FSDs used currently. Remember, it was 50 years ago it disappeared.

The antares was a prototype for applying current FSD drives to extremely large ships.

Capital ships still use the previous technology due to that incident.

If you're hunting the blue POIs that pop up I wouldn't.. We haven't had any appear that way yet (doesn't meant they won't though, but they'll be astonishingly rare if so). They're likely to be permanent POIs that have been placed procedurally around the different nebulae. Worth practicing spotting the ones on Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 2 so you can hone your eyeballs to help find them. Find those mineral deposits on the surface from orbit and then head down to each area and scour it as best as you can..
 
Ifany of this is true, we could be about to get caught up in the middle of a very nasty conflict where humanity might be forced to choose a side, neither of which are particularly palatable.

You speak of humanity as it would be a single faction like unity. I find that amusing. Just look of us. Hopefully though, if faced with overwhelming threat, we would forget our disputes?

doesn't look like this stoma is going to be there.
He's dead, going to khodiwobogi to finis the quest.

Did anyone try to release the srv while landing in the air bug occuring? just for fun =p

Yes, I did the first time it happened. The SRV dropped and took damage from falling, and the ship dismissed it's self. It took ages to dismiss, but then came back fine on re-summoning.
 
Maybe try whacking any old Defence Party of Indi members?

But nothing more (see the screens).

For those of us not so near that sector of space, would you be so kind as to do a couple of From Orbit screen shots of some of the Pleides Locations, and maybe Rizel would be kind enough to put them on the front page... A PM would be ultra nice, as things get lost so quickly. :)
 
Anybody else here in bernards loop looking for some barnacles/alien stuff? I got a feeling that this is kind of a waste of time but well... we never know.

I second that. I've seen the one on Merope but none of the others. So far have they all been in the same type of light sandy colored deposit?

Thx for sharing. Which factions are in the system you got the mission in. Which one offered it initially, and which one the mission branch?
Wondering what the severe consequence would be?
Hope to get this mission too. One day ...

Are we, the community, making an effort to cure the other stations by dropping off Meta Alloys at stations that have either shut down or are experiencing problems? If so, which station(s) are being targeted?
