No need to thank me. Rekah is cool, and I enjoy his posts...but like everyone else sometimes he tends to waffle on a bit.

It is spam. Hopefully a mod pulls it all out and either throws it away or places it in another thread.
Maybe my yesterday's post was not specific enough, so again: I found a Barnacle on Pleiades sector IH-V c2-16 C4 in the same area that the ones discovered by CMDR Azkazius. It is at -1,61 ; -163,54.
It is still not on the spreadsheet, so maybe someone who knows how editing it works could put it there.

However, all of you can find this info on the frontPage.
Lack of activity should automatically trigger a hint
lmao it is a bit quite in here

You've just given me my chance to make some noise then
Been lurking for months and not able to play because of too much work. Got some free evenings ahead, so wanted to ask you guys some questions. Apologies in advance, I've looked for this information but not been able to find any answers.
- with the barnacles, the meta-alloys that we can harvest: I've harvested some so far, but they were all closed when I picked them up. Do they open and close intermittently when they're on the stalk/stack, or are they always open?
- pretty sure I am right on this one: they can (or should) only be found in nebulae, right? So not in 'plain' space?
- I've noticed that when I am at a barnacle site, sometimes I hear rumbling, as if from underground. I mean, those things are buried. Wonder what's down there!? It's very deep and ominous, anyone else heard it?
Cheers folks, you're doing a grand job!

This is the quietest I've seen the thread(s).
I guess FD and MB are pretty busy at the moment with all the other aspects of Elite: Dangerous, and there is a big update coming up soon too. I'm also pretty sure they have a set timeline for big advancements in the storyline so that it doesn't play out too quickly.
But, there should still be other barnacle sites to find in the mean time before the next big update lands (I think).
Although, it'd be nice if MB could poke the coals and stir up some life here

1. no clue.
2. That is what we have been lead to believe.
3. No only been to a couple but never heard anything like that but i will keep me ear out for it, perhaps a recording is needed of this.

Oh FD has it's nose to the grind stone at the mo, what with the bigun on the way.

- If they're not open, someone has picked them recently. I thought you could only get meta-alloys when they were open all the way, maybe I was wrong. They do open all the way, after a bit of time.
- I think they have only been found in Pleiades nebula, not outside.
- There has been some inconclusive analysis of all of the barnacle sounds, though the model currently has no underneath side to it (discovered via clipping through the ground).
1. They are always open.
2. Near a nebula is more accurate. Most barnacles have been found a bit outside the Pleiades nebula.
3. The rumbeling sound is normal. I think Barnie is mining for metals.
Nope. They are definitely closed while they are growing back.
Ah, thanks. The rumbling is definitely there, although I've not made any distinctions for it's occurrence yet. Later on I'll see if it happens before collecting minerals, and see if the frequency of occurrences changes after mining. At first I thought it was the music, I'll make another effort to drive away from the site to see if it is or not. Gut instinct is that it's the barnacle.
Clipping through the ground is a physics/game issue; we honestly don't know what's down there! I reckon they're big. Perhaps they launch floaters/UA into space?
Thanks for the replies CMDRs. Really helpful. Going out there again later, currently got a UA on board too; was thinking of dropping one some place to see if it grows a barnacle lol. But I may as well just sell it at Obsidian...
Did we ever work out why 'It makes sense' for Barnacles to be found in and around a nebula?
MB made that claim a while back a day or two before the first one was found.

Com, the rumbling sound is related to the sounds the barnacles make. It should be a fairly regular sound. Its by far and away the most audible of the sounds the barnie makes. Other then that I believe others have covered your other questions well : )
I'll reiterate here what others have said before, we need to relisten to the barnacles and the ua's when 2.1 rolls out.

Here something to dream (or search) for you:
Is that real?
Of course! The roaming four ASP Explorer are known since a long time. Found today in SOL near Earth Capital Ship and followed to "Bernard's Star" The posted chatter is new (at least for me).
Edit:
As many need "a proof" all the time: dropbox (sorry, no youtube for me) 100MB 2:13min VIDEO 19.02. NPC chatter

Forgive me, but I don't get it. What's going on in this screenshot? Is it just what the NPC is saying?
EDIT: Never mind, the post above clarified. I've seen that chatter before, so I wasn't sure what was notable about it...
