Love it... Can't rep atm - on phone
Me to (love and phone).
Say you manage to reduce the possibilities by 99%.. That still means that it would take 500 players, searching 8 hours per day : 773 years
Oh for sure. Nothing is being given up on though. I'm still mapping the hell out of the Pleiades...
Just that some CMDRs are on the hunt for new nebulae with barnacles simultaneously. ^^
I have some development on the logo managed to match it up with the ophiuchus dark region not sure if I'm the first, If I'm not then I apologise
It's the exact same as the logo... only upside down.
The table is very useful, but the graph - correlation != causality , so I would be careful about this one.
I can only say that we need to find a pattern to the "parts of space" to reduce it by 99.99% then.
So far, these are my observations:
-In or around nebula
-Mild surface temperature planets (194-379K)
-Low-gravity planets (But I'm not convinced of this one)
-Non-icy planets (icy planets are not likely to have mild temps anyway, nor do they have mineral deposit zones)
-Within "mineral deposit" colored zones
-Flat-bottomed, deep canyons, with sandy looking ground, fairly close to the walls
On Pleione 11A, there is really only one area that matches this part:
-within "mineral deposit" colored zones
AND
-flat-bottomed, deep canyons
...which is where the barnacles are. Yes there are several colored zones and several canyons, but when I was looking at the barnacle area from orbit, it does look unique, but it's very subtle.
This quote makes me think of the joke about the dog with no nose
But it in the other nebulae we might not be looking for barnacles, maybe stations or outposts or farms that are in completely different locations.... Anyway I am not convinced that the answer we are looking for is not much closer to home
Hello fellas.
Meaby it is nothing but this is what i have discovered at barnacle in Merope system.
After looking around from inside out the barnacle its clearly point to the Celaeno system.....though this one has only 2 planets.... one is High metal rich planet ( probably with some vulcanic actievity by looking at planet ) and the secont star about 13000+ LS away.
The second star is High metal content world....but both are not landable.... (yet? bug? ).
So as i sayd meaby its nothing and just random position of the barnacle and probably need to test with other barnacles in difrent systems.
So here is the images below so you cant look by you self how precisly this one pointing towards Celaeno system.

I doubt that very much. Putting my game-designer hat on, I think FD wants us to find another nebula with barnacles, which will help us find yet more nebula with barnacles (maybe the symbol will be different?) which will develop into a pattern or advance the story. THEN we may find stations or outposts that would've been found no other way. Exactly the same way the UA shell was found.

The barnacle objects are made with that tilt and layout, then dropped on planets. As the planets rotate and/or revolve, they would always point at something different in the sky. I highly doubt the models actually move. It's just a coincidence of when you happened to be there.
It would be great if we had a chart showing the growth in number of barnacles over time and fit a curve on the data, because this will give us a clue whether the barnacles are some small, contained phenomenon or a dangerous potentially galaxy-wide epidemic.
I did some "musical" analysis of the UAs and also Barnacles. The purrs emit 7 notes per cycle. Those notes are a tonic/base note pair and step up a half-tone after each sequence as you noticed - (Ebmaj, Emaj, Fmajor scales, to me). We probably are listening to different sped-up sequences, explaining the tone differences but the intervals stay the same.
Overlapping the UA purrs with the Barnacle purrs doesn't reveal any musical progression, hidden notes or sequences or mathematical musical sense.
The musical decoding gives T(tonic/base) and 5(5th; 7 semitones apart) and a series of 7 notes. There are no other notes in the sequences, just the tonic & 5th. They do change in each sequence, so you can have:
T-T-5-T-5-5-T or
5-5-T-T-T-5-T or other examples
... which kinda remind me of the DNA's building blocks - adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), thymine (T)
Both the UAs and the Barnacles have the same intervals between notes; your pitch might vary depending on how much you've sped-up the sequences but the intervals do not.
I tried converting the base/5th to Morse dots-and-dashes but no data was found. I tried setting the notes out on a musical staff to see if they spelled anything visually, like Bach's hidden signature in some of his works (no). I looked for other, obscured notes (no).
At this point, what I believe I am hearing is how the sound designer created the purrs, simple as that. 7 notes of base/5th and then up a half-step and repeat again twice, then slow it all down.

Yeah and we did not even test for significance... The sample is still very small.
I have; see my post #8502 above
The "tuba sounds" sound to me (sped up 4-10x) like a "brass" preset on a synth.
Again, see my post #8502
Good to have more ears listening though. Tell us if you find something!

Wave Scanner site: http://wavescanner.net
From the developer:
"You know, I actually have that in my backlog ...
<snip>
So, what I need to do, that I've so far done only in part yet, is to record the different signatures at different distances, which admittedly takes a little bit of time for setting up. My plan is that I will start with a simple Close/Far toggle and then sork my way into perhaps a Mid level as well, time allowing. I'll be starting that job next week, after having travelled a bit to our 3rd waypoint on the Distant Worlds picnic trip."

Me too. My time is valuable.
I'm here to play a working game, not be inadvertently beta testing due to FDev dropping the ball.

Does anyone have a link to the sound of the signal barnacles give off on the wave scanner?
Ive seen plenty on the image representation, but tbh I have trouble differentiating between it and most other wave scanner images, admittedly I am doing this from memory at the moment as I'm away from the game till later tonight, but a sound clip of the barnacle signal would be greatly appreciated if anyone has one

I want to have fun playing this game, and For me at least, banging my head against a wall that may or may not exist/work/show up in the mode I'm in at the time, just isn't fun.
Call me old fashioned, but I am desperate for some well thought out, addictive and compelling gameplay. I genuinely thought that the Barnacle thing looked interesting, then we found them, heard about the bugs, and then nothing. Everything just stopped.
I guess I shouldn't be holding my breath.
