Very possible. Although it moved off apparently. Hmm... needs corroboration. Would really like one of this thread's many learned and respected friends to find one of these...

Well there seems to be no unusual activity around the station at the moment. have circled it a few times, flown out to 10km and a little beyond, hung around for a bit. Flew in closer to the mail slot and hung around there for a while. Had no problem targeting any of the ships that came by. Nothing special, few haulers and Cobras, most marked imperial support.
The only ships I saw circling the station were security ships and, as far as I can tell, the most suspicious ship here at the moment is me, so I'm going to move on and stake out the other station in this system for now, maybe pay a visit to neighbouring systems

I asked him a few questions to see if his story is any bit similar to the event I experienced. After you all showed me that bug that places NPCs at stations, I felt kinda skeptical about what I had experienced, but still holding on to the fact that I saw an object moving away at an uncatchable rate of speed, and I saw an orange reflection off of it. Idk, could be the bug, could be player encounters. But mine happened in Diaguandri, and isnt that one of the affected stations?
This thread is chaos, there are too many topics. I would have thought my baby barnacle idea would get noticed a bit more. Merely one reply was made before a huge chain of speculation about NPC chatter and the mystery DBXs buried it into obscurity. This is not a constructive environment.

It's a theory that has been mentioned before. It is also a theory with no supporting data and no way to test it at the moment.
How do we know that?
No it has not. Also, I strongly oppose your claim of no supporting data.
The Barnacle at the Anaconda crash site has no spikes, one near by has a couple. If they were young barnacles, other spikes would have yet to surface.

Top of the UA looks like an unformed Barnacle
Areas with multiple Barnacles in one area are found in practically, if not exactly, straight lines. Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 1 and Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 2, a binary planet system, have loads of them, as if they were "seeding" back and forth.

Holy cow! Had no clue there were spikeless barnacles... Hmm, I've been scouring N. America Nebula and saw what I thought were rocks but they kinda looked like barnies but no spikes so I didn't stop. Gotta start looking more closely I guess.
I don't know what to make of that album. I've been to the conda wreck and there was no barnacle in it. It is also not on the known list of barnacles. All of the surveyed barnacles have identical spike numbers.
And the top of the UA looks vaguely organic - that's not saying much. And like I said - not a testable hypothesis.
This is why the discussion went no where when last this was mentioned. Sorry.
Yeah I've been there three times now, and never a Barnacle within the site. Was there 3 weeks ago, too - when the images were posted.
So based on the visual evidence, baby Barnacles are a good theory.
But the reliability of the visual evidence must be questioned.
And, @Anubite - I can appreciate how it feels if your post doesn't get attention when there are so many posts rolling through the thread, but rest assured there are lots of people reading this thread all the time, many of which have been around for 'donkeys years' as we say where I come from - many of whom will read and comment if they see something worth investigating. It's not a comment against you if it doesn't get the attention you feel it deserves. Like I say, in this case, nobody here has ever seen this before, and there are hundreds of people who've visited that site and not seen what's in those pics. When that kind of thing happens, scepticism reigns supreme. We've been 'had' numerous times in the past - visual evidence is usually followed by corroboration. If this is 'true' then it's clearly significant, but we'll need some more people to head there and see it for ourselves before accepting the pics. Not suggesting that you're trolling, but that someone else might be.
Very happy to be wrong though, as it's certain ly an exciting prospect

The UA as an inter stellar seed pod for barnacles have been debated in the previous thread. It was a subject, long before the first barnacles was found. The hypothesis is more or less on hold when it comes to testing. If barnacles starts to show up on planets in the UA shell, the claim for this hypothesis will be stronger.
Even if this is not new I reped your post, because it was well written and had really nice drawing.

Hi Derthek good to see you popping in, didn't you set off to see Distant Worlds?
I don't think anyone needs to worry about Gnosis- by now it must be surrounded by so many empty biscuit tins & wrappers that it will have acquired its own sedimentary crust & will appear to any invading aliens rather like a small moon, albeit one with mountains embossed with "Hobnob" & craters as "Oreo"
Ehum slightly off topic I know guys but has anybody seen this?

I think I may need to change into brown pants and put the brown alert bulb back in the alert slot that the scutters removed.

What sort of Drive do Capital Ships use? All that lightning and it just sliding in to view from a void. That's not a FSD...
From what I understand from the fluff is that the Capital Ship rips a hole in witchspace then drives on through. Our ships kinda just accelerate fast enough to punch a hole through into witchspace. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

No it's not - having a read around, and I'm sure there'll be someone else coming on here with a better response - the large ships use an older FSD capable of shifting that mass (ours can't) which tear a hole in witchspace and allow the Ship to jump into a specific place in a system.
It's older, different tech to our FSDs, and one which they're trying to upgrade (think: SS1)
This is at least how the forum rumours explain it. I haven't seen anything official.
