UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 6 - The Canonn

Ok, let the auction begin
I remember some of you kept few Meta Alloys for good:
I'll pay in solid gold for a single unit of Meta Alloys then
Anyway, I'll accept a kind donation as well. Let your generosity spread all around CMDRs...

Found the turrets that shot spock

Spoiler

barnacle spires are set up differently here
area also has a trespass zone

Was there a 2.1 launch trailer?

There was in stream, they haven't uploaded it yet.

From one of the sites in the large crater on JC-U b3-2 2.

Spoiler

The only one of three I've currently checked that has turrets and skimmers round it. Took them out with little trouble. Aligned to no faction but wondered if the markings on the turrets mean anything to anyone. The S-2 designation reminded me of the DBX at Obsidian but is not similar enough.

Okay, so is there anyone with a spare meta alloy willing to part with it. Name your price

Where's Palin and his stockpile of CG meta alloys I wonder...?

So humans are now monitoring the barnacles? Which humans? And why?

 

[tekknej]

wasn't there something in the patch notes that said they disabled SRV mining temporarily? that could be affecting barnacles i presume.

Most likely allied with Alliance. Or humans actually created Barnacles in first place (they are engineered remember).

It was about disabling mission about SRV mining. No SRV mining is actually available, shooting rocks and Barnacles isn't mining.

I guess there is some Mass Effect 3 grade story behind that.

 

[Grumtastic]

Just been to Pleione 11 A (the 3rd one on the meta search google sheet) and a red trespass area surrounds it with 3 skimmers of "no faction"
I killed them, scanned the barnacle and harvested it, but no Meta Alloys.
I'm off to bed now but for the sake of completeness and clarification grid ref: 2.3189 177.2434

Possible new UA behaviour?

[video=youtube_share;WtChMK1fgPE]https://youtu.be/WtChMK1fgPE[/video]

Main observation is that the morse chittering is silent if you have sensors off or don't have the UA locked on. If you have the UA locked on, you will hear the morse chittering.

• 0:37-1:00 : Morse chittering
• 1:04 - broke 1000m and got scanned
• 1:20-1:42 : Morse chittering (loud at 221m)
• 2:21-2:43 : Morse chittering
• 3:24-3:48 : Morse chittering (v.clear)
• 4:09-4:31 : Morse chittering
• 4:59-5:15 : Morse chittering
• 5:43 : Sensors off
• 5:46-6:10 : Background sound, BUT NO MORSE CHITTERS.
• 6:34-6:37 : Background sound, BUT NO MORSE CHITTERS.
• 7:08 : Sensors back on - UA targeted.
• 7:34-7:58 : Morse chitters (clear)
• 8:01 : Sensors off
• 8:39 : Background sound, BUT NO MORSE CHITTERS.
• 8:43 : Sensors back on
• 8:50 : UA targeted
• 8:52-9:04 : Morse chittering returns
• 9:40-10:02 : Morse chittering (mostly clear)
• 10:55-11:41 : Destroying the UA with laser fire

Rest of the time was spent scooping the new material.

Unknown Fragment - 4 petal VR material.

UA Report.

- UA spwan as usual in the shell.
- USS - Anomaly Detected, Threath level 4
- Drop out is outside scanning range. Ca. 1.3 km. Points to Merope before scan. Morse code is new. Not analysed, but different than 2.0 and Beta. 37 sec, honk to honk.
- After scan, Morse changes. 62 sec, honk to honk (system name should be 47sec. in ADR GW-W D1-52). Still points to Merope.
- Distortion is stronger and Fire flies move less.

Sorry for no recording. Nead to updat Shadowplay.

We probably have a new Morse mystery on our hands.

Found 2 of the 5 barnacles intact on JC-U b3-2 2, 1 had defences around it the other was like before
Both dropped MA's but when showed up as a different commodity selected as well as when scooped, looks like a bug

So it might be bug after all...Someone get FD support on the case then.

there's a bug report up

...or not....there's too much conflicting info out there, but so far it seems quite intentional.

new alliance outpost is very close to Pleiades

As usual ? Maybe, maybe not. Hunted for 1 HOUR in my normal UA hunting ground, not a single UA. This system did not spawn in Beta either, although I didn't spend as long before I went elsewhere.
"COL 285 SECTOR RI-R B5-2" it is on the path from Merope to Varati

I have a recording, no idea of the audio, but look from about 7 mins to the end for the morse. Before 7 mins is me blowing up a few others and collecting the UF.
