UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 6 - The Canonn

If these DBX sightings are the next part of the puzzle, we know they have been to merope sightseeing, been to maia looking for the doctor and probably have a secret base on the surface in alioth. Didn't the latest patch also fix settlements or maybe bases?
I have just spent 2 hours in alioth at distress calls but no luck.
Maybe we are now on the hunt for a base or HQ for the pimped DBX's to trigger the next part of the puzzle.

I think, that if the shiptype spotted with the designation is consistent (only DBX) we have a hint similar to the UA bubble.

36.71 lightyears with a 3C fuel tank.

I'm thinking along the line of maximum range with multiple jumps
and half range for go to x and return to base stuff.
In the mood of finding out?
I just shutdown my gaming PC;)

That's assuming they don't have MEGA SUPER BUFFED ALIEN FSDs…

Which would be an unknown factor, resulting in a big search for the haystack and
reverse engineering on the needle.
Sounds about right for the Canonn righto? :D

Edit:
I recon your fame and rep is charging, soon you will engage true "friendship drive" ;)

On the designation:
The S could state "squadron" or "sector" with a numeral designation,
and the /n could name the shipnumber in that unit.

Great work!
So that would come down to 230 -240 Ly with the center, or origin at 115 - 120 LY around the systems it was spotted in.
Is there an overlap with alioth if we apply a bubble of 120 Ly around alioth and merope?
 
Been wondering the same myself...

Well, plans are afeet anyway. Might have to steer clear of anything too rooted in lore - but... Well, we can make our own, right? ;)

Plot twists with a traitor are always good.
It could be anyone inside that secret complex...

Also, if (in the event of an emergency evacuation) Dr. Arcanonn would suddenly disappear during the FS-jump...

New CG! Find Dr. Arc :p

Nope. Bubble would need to be 200Ly with only about a 10Ly overlap.

Don't worry, you're just really nice…

I wouldn't mind if Palin would vanish, but Dr. Arc?
Nah, that guy i'd go out and search for.
Palin though probably is building himself an alienesque
slave paradise on a far flung earth like jewel.

What else would be done with tons of "evacuation shelters" and MA,
than genetically engineering some beauties for himself?

Has anyone found any Barnacles in any other nebulae yet?

I couldn't see anything on the first page.

We should at least keep the report that a DBX left the instance after a refuel at quite abnormal speed in mind, not sure a 'normal' approach to DBX stats should be used.

I wanted to post this somewhere. Here seams fine. I saw a post that the barnacles could be a parent of the UAs. They spit the UAs out at a launch speed where they then fly through space until they are able to seed somewhere and grow new barnacles.
Also, when aliens are finally introduced, I hope it's like... You're on a planet doing stunts in your SRV, then all of a sudden, huge odd ships appear in the sky (smaller is fine too). They Begin attacking an outpost in the distance. You are spotted and a ship is on intercept. An invasion begins.
Perhaps that should wait until Earth-like worlds are landable, and we get boats or some land to water vehicle... or land to water to air to space... Good stuff.
Mechs are cool too... Always. Love a giant waring Mech.

I think you're adding a bit there. Mysterious DBXs have been spotted in Maia and Alioth but I don't recall one in Merope.
