Maybe it's not a DBX. Maybe it just *looks* like one. The UAs have been sending descriptions off to Merope.

This is what I think - it appears to be a DBX, but isn't, or at least the internals aren't the same as the DBXs that we can actually get.

A module scan might yield some interesting results ;)
 
So we have a S8:9 found originally, and next a S 6:7?
Maybe its just the tinfoil hat speaking, but it almost seems like a countdown.. 9,8,7,6

Obviously the numbers have to be read from right to left which isn't exactly how conventional english works, and it could just be a coincidence, but hey. You never know.

A least it seem to follow the same pattern as the barnacles.
First is discovered by a player, the second is reported on GalNet.
These articles are probably Auto-triggered by first contact.
 
Found a new (?) barnacle site at Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2 -2,7035 -452717

If someone likes to verify the site, I am still there, send me a friend request.

Lucky it was a fuel rat making potential first contact and not one of us! Chase it down, Scan it, aquire its cargo, oh and maybe shoot it all for science of course :)
 
- 10km is not all that close to the station, considering safely disengaging SC usually drops me no more than 9km away from a station, and that still tends to be several km outside most no-speeding zones. (Moot in the case of OO.)

Unless the article was written in the time that safe disengage put you 20km away from the station (2014 beta).

I suggest someone do a good visual survey of obsidian orbital for more clues

The site is permanent, no random spawn. Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2 2 -2,7035 -45,2717.


I can also confirm the spawn at Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2 2 -1.86 -45,17. Both barnacles have spawned in the same instance. So it is a double barnacle, not a simple duplicate!

It is not Obsidian we need to check. Having reread the Galnet article and Patau82 reminding us that Nganji was where Palin used to be based, Obsidian are worried because they think that if they didn't find Palin there, then that might lead them... home!

I'm in the bubble after doing the Turbo Hour race last night, I've just jumped into a nice unassuming hauler (with wake and cargo scanner) to go to Nganji and Christian Dock to do a bit of recon.

*Edit* It's Obsidian we may need to guard.

Send an PM to NetSlayer and he can add it to the sheet.

I am new at this sort of stuff so you'll have to bear with my ignorance :D I didn't think you found ships in WSS but I've just seen a hauler and he has 5 diplomatic documents. Nothing that I really expect to be linked in any way, but are they well known items?
 
Found a triple site: Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2 2 -17.61 -18.0597 and -17.9457 -17.2779 and -18.23266 -17.35362

You do get ships in WSS from time to time. Usually a small solitary craft. I think I've seen sidewinders and cobras in the past.

I don't know anything about diplomatic documents though, but then I don't tend to carry a cargo scanner.

Well at least I know the WSS is OK then. I've just looked it up as it was a Diplomatic Bag and they are mission/salvage items.

There's nothing on the station news at Christian Dock and no-one got annoyed at me flying around at 10Km from the station :)
