if you are on multiple sides of the star and it one end of the UA aligns with the star, then there is no question about what side is pointing to what. Assuming all UA's are pointing to only one thing if you're on many sides of the star and it aligns to the center of the star then it's pointing to the star. It simply cannot point to any other 1 item.
UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 6 - The Canonn

Firstly I wanted to say thanks for this excellent thread, the information compiled has been extremely helpful, and this has become my go to place for information regarding barnacles.
I wanted to ask if anyone had tested if it were possible to get a meta alloy to melting temperature by taking it to hot planets and ejecting it etc.? It would be extremely important to know this information if it were possible. It could potentially help figure out what planets are definitely too hot to find live barnacles on.
However, the melting point of meta alloys would not necessarily have to be the same as the safe living temperature for a barnacle. I do think that any information that is able to be acquired by the players could be important though.

Okay, I found myself a barnacle... California Sector DL-Y D4 C6 Coords: -29.43/-54.32
Somehow I cannot upload a screen shot image (whatever I do to upload I get "invalid file" icon...), so I just share the link for it:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6ikaTbNE-0DWHpvQ2RSWTBJNFU
It has single main node, undestroyed, undefended. I won't do any harm to it (just scan it). Maybe we could use it to test how/if they get destroyed or "replicate"? o7

This morning I am checking the barnies and I stumbled upon a crashed navigation beacon.. I didn't remember them having marking on the side. This one has RF-78 and they have a very different noise. This may beacon is just 1.9km from the barnacle at-24,749. -64,0 429. It might be space madness but could it be an attempt to communicate?. Just so you know this Barney has 12 spikes and not 11 . One of the spikes is nearly impossible to see, and I can confirm that the spikes are broken.
the UA will scan you only when you are <1km. you can get into the USS and not be scanned at all by maintaining the distance.
the scan message you get is the same one when someone is scanning your cargo.
anyone else noticing the UA sound pitch changes with your speed? sounds like a multplied Doppler effect.

Would this be the second barnacle found at that nebula then? Congrats btw
Third as far as I remember. There was another "double" barnie found on C6.
While slowly exploring my way down to Merope in my new Asp, I stumbled across a UA in a system where I did not really expect it. A check of the alignment confirms it is still pointing at Merope. But note the distance.
I thought the shell was from 135-145, not 147? This is in Hyades Sector HW-W c1-16, 7.32 LS off planet #10.
I originally wanted to pick it up and drop it in the Merope system, but I just noticed that I put in two AFM instead of an AFM and a cargo rack, so I will have to continue to Maia, do some outfitting, and then return into the UA shell.

Guys, finally im into something, or so I hope! I'm creating a post and will update something more later, but it is related to this old post from January:

doppler effect is well known; yes.
also - when/if you damage it, it changes almost immediately and goes up in pitch slowly as it degrades. Both phenomena have been around since day one
I still find the doppler effect overexagerated, not a real doppler effect and this is what I was making a point about.
Ok, here we go..

Take a look at the pictures about the numbers found in the space debris.. There seems to be a match on the CR-P 6 base found in Maia.

Countless people? A couple of hundred maybe. To search 13 landable bodies totaling over 200 million square km, more than the surface area of the Earth. You've massively underestimated the size of stuff in space. But then, everyone does.
Apparently the wrecks containing these private data beacons are manufactured by the same people that planted mining outposts in Maia and Merope:

I'd say they are related, but obviously, if these wrecks were in game before 2.1 no one noticed they are related.
