I'm afraid that Bob is no longer in the game
Yes, that was quite a shock. And his chubby partner Bobette. All gone. I think I'll need to fire up 32 bit non-Horizons and see if he's still there.
kinda unrelated but related...
Is there a shadowplay or xbox Win10 app equivalent that will record ED in borderless mode (instead of fullscreen mode)? AFAIK, both of those require ED to be in fullscreen mode, but I prefer to run in borderless because it makes alt-tab much faster when I want to pull up the forum or eddb during hyperspace. Fullscreen takes several precious seconds to switch.
I know what you're going to say... get a 2nd monitor.

Shadowplay will work perfectly in Borderless mode as well. I'm using it all the time. You have to enable the "record desktop" option, in SP settings.
There is nothing like Shadowplay so far: the performance loss is almost un-existent, because of how it works together with the nvidia GPU.
One of the reasons why I switched to an nvidia GPU was because of SP...
If you use another software, when you can use SP, you are doing it wrong.

Indeed. I was extremely surprised that I didn't notice any FPS drops, even when recording in high resolution and bitrate. It probably helps to have the temporary files stored on an SSD, though.
Are they always like this? I can say that this video shows a similar event to what I encountered. but the object was there when I dropped into the station. Like it was behind me. And I actually saw a moving object zoom away at a ridiculous speed. When an object is just out of scanner range, and does that weird distorted blip thing, in your video that lasted a while, because he was sort of able to boost after the object, in my case this thing was gone, and the distorted blip barely lasted a second. I watched the object move out of sight, I saw the glimmer of light off of it's hull.
I know it's not much to go on, and seems very Aluminumish, but it didn't seem like a glitch. That video looks more like the glitch. Idk, maybe we'll hear about it, maybe it means nothing.
Im on win10 x64, using an old GTX 680 (I think). I have two monitors and run ED in borderless. OBS https://obsproject.com/download works fine for me for recording.
mh ok, think nebulas are a bit different to the light from a sun then?
the pictures i posted were on a traderoute, so not in a nebula. reported it as a bug back then, maybe i visit the system again someday to see if it was changed
towards the ufo sightings:
are there any known graphic glitches at the moment? like the "explorers friend"?
would be kinda awkward if that is what gets chased...

Did he go to Essex Heaven?
Hey fellow Barnacle hunters, i would just like to compare a thing, i was wondering how long you guys tend to search a candidate, until you feel confident you can move on to the next? And, do you set yourself a timer or do you 'spot search' visible differences in terrain and such only? Just interested in how you go about it, always something to learn i guess.
I usually tend to go around the planet once trying to find obvious terrain features - canyons and such, and/or coloring as well. I then go about searching each area identified earlier for about 15-20ish minutes - depending on size, before i move on.

Speaking as someone who lives in Essex... the good side I might add
I'm not really sure what you mean We think he was bug fixed out I never feel confident. Even spending an hour searching I'd argue that there's a, 90% chance I missed any barnacles that were there. Try blind searching one of the known planets and see if you find anything in an hour.
My method is about the same as yours, though. On greenish worlds I've come to the conclusion that I can't find a damned thing from more than about two clicks up. I'm starting to think that even looking on those blindly is a complete waste of time.
Do try and populate the spreadsheet with searched planets, though. Might as well try and reduce the amount of repeats.
If this has already been discussed, then I am sorry because I've missed it.
The UA's point to Merope and admittedly that's where the first Barnacle was found, but all the other discoveries have been in a different system. There has not been any more discoveries on Merope.
You would think that if its the Barnacles that are important to the UA's they would pointing to Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2, and if its not the Barnacles that's important what is?

i don't think there is any Confirmed relationship between the UA and Barnacle. At this point I think it's really still just wild speculation and the distinct rustle of tin foil
I feel like I'm missing something, what's Bob?I'm afraid that Bob is no longer in the game
Agreed it's ocd heaven, in the beginning i even went back and forth already searched routes in order to optimize searching patterns, never feeling i gave it enough time. But after i got out to Orion i figured that i can't approach it the same way anymore, just soo many potential candidates. And yeah, i also wonder if we should approach it this way, given the rather low chance of success. I feel more and more that there's a pointer we might have missed - or which is not even live yet.
As for the spreadsheet, i was a bit hesitant using it while the bug was alive, but i'll get searching again tomorrow so i'll see that i can help out. How do you handle the differences in searching methods though? When is a planet considered 'searched'? Up to each participant i guess?

No one knows what the relationship is, but it's quite clear that there is one.
They emit the same sound, coloured gas and blue sparks.
Both seem able to extract metals from their suroundings and use them internally.
