UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 6 - The Canonn

Tea and biscuits have been consumed, barnacle data has been sold

It may be of interest to note the difference in the amounts received for scanning the different barnacles, maybe the most interesting thing is the fact that the 3 lowest amounts are for the ones that are still producing materials. I wonder if we're getting more, because there's more to study on the ones that have been used up.

Amazing work!

And another one! This one is intact with turrets
.
Pleiades Sector IH-V C2-16 Planet D3 Co-ords 3.31 -70.97

getting silly now.. just found another! Pleiades Sector IH-V C2-16 Planet D3. Co-ords 4.23 -69.81
this one is a single barny without turrets, already destroyed

 

[Omategomatete]

Anybody else getting really long witchspace transitions between jumps? Happens to me about 3/4 times. (I'm really scared, I just deployed my emergency tinfoil grade armor)

Thanks,

Omate.

Yep! Submitted the data when I found them so they show on there now but they haven't been confirmed on the spreadsheet yet. 3 x unique, close together. Only one intact despite being new finds. The intact one had turrets.

Seems like someone came back to farm their barnies, saw that someone beat them to it so they've added a bit of protection

So much to get caught up on and ....OMG DOUBLE BARNACLES ! all they wayyyyy - awesome

Has anybody had any luck actually donating the meta-alloy to Felicity Farseer? I'm trying now, I click donate, get the prompt to donate 1 unit and... nothing?

Yes, I did it couple of hours ago without any problem. She unlocked the first level of upgrades and I went to collect the necessary materials.

you have to actually click on the "donate <1>", it doesnt look like you should but that's how you do it.

I figured FD would have put more out there. Were you flying at 10-12km? Did they have Blue POI's?

Yeah, I'm clicking that button (with "Donate 1") written in it. Nothing happens... will get a video of it in a sec. Didn't have this problem in Beta.

EDIT: Also relogging and trying again.

2nd EDIT: What the actual? I've relogged, and my meta-alloy, UA and three of my five tonnes of Encrypted Data Storage are missing. This is definitely a bug... reported here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=255429 What a waste...

On top of the fact I hit a "Severe transaction server failure" last night which booted me 1000LY out of Barnard's Loop, all hours I've played Engineers have been essentially wasted so far...

2km. No blue POIs

 

[Jmanis]

OK, so against my better judgement, I took meta alloys to Felicity again and gained access to her, no bug this time around

At the moment, I'm pretty convinced that Barnard's Loop (initially based on the Barnacle's symbol) is where we need to go. The nebula (next to Horses Head nebula, which is also permit locked) is virtually surrounded by permit-locked areas (Col 70, 96 etc), but there is a way in through the Flame Sector/Nebula, following the Running Man nebula.

In the short time I was in there before being booted 1000 LY away due to the transaction server failure, I didn't find anything on planet surfaces or in USS that was of interest. In fact, I found nothing but materials, no POIs or anything, on the planet surfaces.

I noticed in a brief play with 2.1 yesterday that occasionally I got an exclamation symbol flashing in the Info panel (top right of HUD) - anybody have an idea of what that's about?

Are there new controls to set up in 2.1 (e.g. Can the Info panel now be opened up?)

How many types of signal sources are there now??

I'm beginning to think we really need a guide/updated user manual- 2.1 is not just an update; it seems more like a new game, & as I haven't been involved in beta testing it's rather confusing

 

[Anjin]

Just a reminder that finding known barnacle sites is a lot easier using my little cartographics tool (although the data is a little out of date): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99992395/EliteTools/PlanetaryCartographics.html

(Also available in my signature).

I have seen it too, is it new? I thought it was a proximity warning that you got on planets, could be mixing it up with something else though.

A few new ones, don't know what you mean by info panel though.

*shrugs*

I was going to link you to the tutorial videos they've made, as it said in the patch notes

- Add links to new tutorial videos

but I can't find them atm

 

[Wobblin-Gobblin]

What about these blue 'new material'-warnings?

Btw: in the beta (1 or 2), I've noticed a new outfitting point? Now it seems gone

Anomalous Sounds Detected:

With a hold of MA, while travelling between Deciat and Ngurii, while in SC I heard a fairly obvious buzzing sound with a little bit of oscillation.
I decided to wait till I got to Ngurii and finish my business before looking the system up from my EDD Route. When I arrived, I discovered to my horror that my log settings were incorrect, and nothing had been recorded.
I have gone back and tried to recreate the route, but it is clear that I cannot get the same route plotted. Many of the systems on the routes have no System Info, so I have never been there. However, I have obviously been in the area previously as many other systems that I know I have not been through today DO have System Info.

I will continue to look, but I would request that anyone else with an MA two, run the route to see if you can find the system. It was toward the middle or end of the route, no further than Col 285 Sector QD-K a38-3 (2 Python Jumps away)

I have rerun the route a few times, but cant find it.

It WAS genuinely new (to me at least) so please do keep your ears open, especially when hauling MA
