The link LazerusKI posted is the original, not the LZ article which was not published on global GalNet but only locally in Sol, Achenar and somewhere (Alioth?).

Who. You are a genius.
He will be, tomorrow.
Yeah it's all got a bit muddled here hasn't it!?
We have a reliable source of a weird DBX from the official Galnet feed, via that link - and that's one to which Arc's referring in our story. An early draft made reference to other sightings, but the word count, my own doubts, and some comments from other wise Canonn Members meant that reference got removed before it was submitted
. Very glad it was now!Ah, got it - I thought your submission was the original, LZ. Thanks, so it is a cannon entry by FD then.
I have to admit I was a bit confused there. Quite normal, nothing to see. Move on. o7

Think I may just take a wander over to Alioth...Don't wait up....

Periodic! Like my demand for bisquits ...
Salute!

Wait.. Do you go to Alioth or Wolf 406? Alioth requires a permit and I don't have it
also, who is this Alliance Elite Diplomatic Corps?

look at Yoda's post a few up #860 this was a player submitted article.
The AEDC is a user group it would seem;

cheers...
thanks yeah, a quick google told me the same lol. Still seems like something I might like to take part in, even if it isn't the strange story it seemed at first
Two big caveats here:
- The site is only aware of systems known to EDSM. There are plenty of systems in the Pleiades with unknown coordinates. ED doesn't give us the coordinates, these need to be calculated from distance measurements - exactly what EDSM does. Head there and help to fill the gaps by submitting some distances!
- Everything is mirrored on the YZ plane on the shell visualisation. This is caused by that ED and WebGL use different coordinate systems. I'm working on the fix. If anyone knows how to change the coordinate system handedness in Three then please chime in
Just negate the z coordinate coming from EDSM.

Those distances are not going to be accurate enough for EDSM as it needs distances accurate to 2 decimal places in order to calculate the coordinates with 100% precision.
OK heads up fellas... I GOOFED UP BAD.
But I've fixed it. It was accidentally in degrees and not in radians... so strange swirly patterns were appearing... showing barnacles strangely spread evenly all over the surface... when in reality they are in specific areas.

The Red Lectroids: Planet Ten!
Lord John fin: When?
The Red Lectroids: Real soon!
Thought that since the second I first saw it.
Poor forum searcher here, but I have this question that may have been noted, so ignore if a rehash.
In https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=222049&p=3388944&viewfull=1#post3388944 all the systems where the Barnacles have been found have a B-type giant as the primary.
Could they need that type of light to operate?

So much respect. I have an oscillation overthruster slotted on my cobra.
SPOOKY
SUPER FREAKED OUT. I was about to head to the P-neb when I remembered I didn't have a fuel scoop, I headed back to DIAGUANDRI, after investigating a few distress calls (one was a DBX, was freaking out until I scanned it and got its name and found it wasn't anything special), I headed over to Ray Gateway. I dropped in perpendicular to the station, less than 9Km out.
Here's where it gets weird. There was an object outside of scanning range that moved from the north axis of my scanner to the south end RAPIDLY. Way faster than an object out of range should be moving (I was moving in a straight line towards the station, to left towards the mail slot). When I noticed it, it suddenly ZOOMED, I mean ZOOMED in the direction that the mail slot lets out of. I started boosting as best I could towards it (392 boost speed in my ASP) But I COULD NOT catch it. It stayed out of scanning range the entire time, it was moving so fast. It looked like it reflected orange light, but I cant say for sure. Once it was in my range of vision it was OFF the scanners and too far away to see.
I did not lock on to the object, I couldn't even get any where close to it.
IT DID NOT LEAVE A WAKE. I kept boosting trying to see if there would be a wake but there wasn't. No boost contrails either.
EDIT: I know it's not much to go on, I don't record or have any screenshots, but this object was amazingly fast. Like watching someone zoom past you in supercruise while you're sitting at 30km/s, but out of scanner range

That explains why I was having such a hard time
I would still recommend that you not apply the axial tilt when converting to Cartesian coordinates. It really doesn't make any sense to rotate the points unless you are converting to system coordinates, which would require orbital information.
You might also just want to skip the conversion to Cartesian altogether and just keep it in spherical.
