All based upon our ideas of how the universe should work and given the fact that speed of light may not even be the limit (which most of space science is based on) then who can really say? And so once again we come back to the fact that MB said the barnacles aren't the end of the story, but a continuation of it and you have to decide if you want to hunt for more barnacles in different parts of the galaxy, collect Meta-Alloys to further the CG part of the story, or wait until someone else discovers the next part of the clue/solution and then jump back onboard.
What is not going to (and should not) happen, is MB coming on here and saying yes you are looking for this type of thing now, or have to combine these things, and you have to do it in this certain place. As soon as you do this something else will happen and then we will tell you where to move and start looking/experimenting again. I'm not going to go over the path of the story again, as it has been done more eloquently by others than I could, but there is a path we've been following and it continues to unfold. We are now moving towards a splitting of ways, the story carries on in the background unabated and can still be influenced, but one thing we know for sure is the CG outcome will affect the path we continue to tread.
Thanks Michael, is that a precursor to Galnet filters or tabs as many posters suggested.
Hey Riz! Yes, I agree with you that that is most likely the reason for the article. I was more referring to whether the XRI existence came from FD or was an invention of the Cmdr who wrote the article, which then FD basically sanctioned.
He did also say that our future relationship with the Thargoids would depend on how we handle our first encounter with them.
Considering myself (and some others) see nothing but a juvenile Thargon/Thargoid ship, when looking at a barnacle, we are either at that moment, or we are about to be.
It isn't looking good and I am as guilty as everyone else.

Not quite the same "handwriting", if you get my meaning
Hehe, yeah fair enough

Not me guvnor, I haven't fired a shot
Somebody must have tested Mining laser? I was at barnacle yesterday, but I didn't have one equipped. So I didn't shoot it and left it there unharmed.

Unfortunately, I hammer the barnacle sites with my ships weapons, then deploy the SRV. It saves on SRV ammo and time.
Now that I have put this in writing, it's admissable as evidence to our new Thargoid overlords!
Good call. Thanks Michael!
I shot a Barnacle for an hour Solid with a class 2 Mining Laser - Nothing - not even a glow.
Or .. limpets? since they are basically .. barnacles?
I don't know .. I let those eggheads do their science down under and as soon as the hostile alien force is confirmed, they will call in real commanders to deal with the situation anyway. "Han shot first" .. says who? Certainly not his unfortunately deceased business partner.
And Core Dynamics builds no "exploration ships". -_-

Done limpets as well, they either try to collect Material and smash into the ground (Die) or just sit next to my ship if I select nothing
There is no absolute answer to this question.
Were there barnacles in the Pleiades before we could land on the Planets?
In a story sense, yes. In the code, no.
It all depends on what you are looking for.
Personally I would really like to find a lagre wreck site, with a T9 and a couple of Condas. I think they may hold some info on how the UAs and barnacles arrived in the Pleiades.

Then it's class 3 beam laser scalpels all the way. All surgical and stuff. For science!
Yeah - you do them too much credit - no they're not. They don't have the same amount of imagination as Starcloak between them.
1. So probably the "other way" to progress is just to ignore the CG and not complete it.
2. Losing a couple of stations for a bigger good is still an option.
3. Also, there is still the possibility affected stations will re-power up without shipping Mets.

I'm getting the feeling that I need to find Cmdr. Starcloak and apologise for ever suggesting it.
CG has 9.5k of metal alloys delivered after 1 day, tier 1 looks like it could be 100k? if so at this rate it will fail
tier 1 might be 50k? hard to tell
Yes, yes and yes!
I'd ask though - if these Barnacle sites are so important to another species as to go to war over some harvesting by us humans; why aren't they defended?
Even a farmer puts a fence around his/her fields...
If you don't want human beings using some rare thing you produce to try to stop plague that, possibly, you also produced -then don't leave them so close to the bubble and certainly don't leave them unprotected.
It might be that the emblem is a symbol of ownership - but anything importabt enough to 'brand' in this way shouldn't be left on its own; especially when there are tens of thousands of very noisy artefacts flying around *pointing* to where they can be found!

That's crazy numbers. Both the 9.5 and the proposed targets!
