That is quite interesting. I doubt that it's a player. What would be the point of doing your harvesting in CN, before 2.1.
NPCs should really start to post their findings in this thread (feature request FD).![]()
right, so, after a few more tests, for those canyon flying looking for barnacles:
- small rocks are visible in distances < 350mts
- large rocks are visible in distances < 1km
- barnacles are visible in distances < 4.5km
That basically means, any flying altitude above 1km will make the ground look clear and every bright spot will be either a barnacle or a crashed ship, definitely something of interest, but also flying above 3.5km will make barnacles visible almost only just below your location. This is the rendering distance, regardless the graphic settings BUT with maximum model draw distance, definitely gets better with higher resolutions. For 2km of altitude, considering the hypotenuse 4.5km the maximum ground distance will be 4.03km, that is when the barnacles are mostly distinguishable without any doubt while also giving you a view on top of the canyon walls.
I'd like to confirm that barnacles are not located below 100mts of the nearby surface (the depth of the crater or canyon they are in).. could someone highlight any barnacle in deeper locations?
AFAIK the rendering distances depend massively on your graphics card and settings.
On my old graphics card, I could crash into entire mountains before they within rendering distance.Quality, but for the rendering distance there is a slide. It worths a second check anyway.
then I'll keep doing canyon flying, because there is no SC at that distance.
to maximise the chances of spotting any single pixel, I was flying without HUD (takes 40% of the screen), I might have missed any POI by doing that way.. oh god..
Here are some more screens of the system and the barnacles, only counted 11 spikes...

I found a crashed ship on a planet in the California nebula. It was a little condor. I dunno how it got out there, it must only have a jump range of 10ly or something like that (or none at all). It was non persistent.
I have some screeies if any wants to see them?
Thanks,
Omate.
Canonn have xbox players, I don't see why we can't have NPC's - come, NPC's, join the Canonn; post on our site, chat on our Discord, contribute to the lovely threadnaut (with pics or it didn't happen).
Just coz I'm too far away, can someone please take a shot of the stats for Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 2 for me? I have Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 1 but wouldn't mind seeing the other.
In other news, I'm hoping I'm "onto" a set of criteria for Barnacle planets, since I'm now looking at various landable moons and after 3 hours tonight, am yet to find a single one that doesn't match my criteria. It's not based on anything new I think, guess I'll fly around scanning and getting more explo credits for now.

Did we invite Jacques to join?
Jacques cannot wear a tinfoil hat, it interferes with his own thought process as he is AI... very sad.
