UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 6 - The Canonn

[Aesculon Phaia]

Are you sure? I found Tellurium as the very rare. In full Te, Nb, W, As, Zn and Cr. Only the Zinc is new.We might have to keep looking for Technetium.

I said hi over in game chat to you when I arrived but ED crashed when I tried to deploy my SRV and you'd gone when I relogged.

You're totally right, it was Tellurium.

I remember seeing you - it's funny you crashed out, as I'd gotten into my SRV just moments before you disappeared. I'd been sitting on top of my ship in the SRV, but then ran and hid inside it until I knew you were a friendly XD

Second point is just regarding the Unknown Probes. Unknown Artefacts don't appear in any "illegal goods" lists. Unknown Probes do. I have another funny suspicion that Unknown Probes have been in the game since, well, before this update, and their inclusion in the illegal goods list may be to just draw attention to the fact this is a thing.

I would be inclined to concur.

If I wasn't farting around doing missions I'd be checking out around Menkib and Atik....

Good job finding the Barnacle in the California Nebula guys.

 

[JRootabega]

Was this just dumb luck? Or did you somehow deduce the location? [squeeeee]

 

[ilo]

could anyone of you guys there post a pic of the star detail to compare with Merope?
and also, the planet details to compare with merope 5c at least?

Oh         . Good spot. Man, that's hard to read...

ok, so.. no updates about this? I'm curious!

Any Idea what this is found in the witchhead nebula

Just a crashed nav beacon

 

[CMDR Random]

Thanks, is it a random encounter or persistent as I do wonder why would there be a nav beacon in the witchhead nebula

Its a random poi. You just scan it for data that you can sell for credits.

California Nebula Origin Barnacle report is at http://vaeleden.com/research thanks to Starbeaver

Wow great find.
So do the barnacles from the California Nebula have a different icon/brand/logo from the Merope ones?
And do this lot have a shell of UA's, if they do then i owe some one 10 tonnes of gold

logo is the same but we are still searching for the shell

What about the straight line between Merope and this new system? could there be something of interest?

What do you mean by straight line?


Also here is that video I said I was gonna post from earlier.

It contains the death animation for the artefact and some ambient sounds. (Check description for timestamp of death)

I meant, plotting a line from this system to Merope, and travel it or find out what interesting systems could be in there.. but the more I think of it the more I dismiss the idea.

I did take a look on Erismus's maps this morning (at work so no in-game tools). If you take the California Nebula, the Pleiades and Sol they are (roughly) in line, it could suggest a direction of travel. Another thing I would like to know is how far is the California Nebula from Barnard's Loop? If it's a similar distance as the Pleiades, perhaps this represents a front?

Also, what about IC 4604. it is another similar nebula that is same distance as California (aprox) just in the opposite direction.
