Um... Guys? I just got wasted by the capital ship "Vanguard" it sicked it's fighter squadron on us! They said something like:
"Contact in sight! All wings fall in."
*Everything green turns red*
"Copy Lead, all units formation Delta! Contain! Contain!"
*Me and my pal proceed to get vaporized*

If the feds/imps had any sense, they would have established quarantine zones around barnacle systems long ago. Too late now.
 
Just relogged. Capship spawned in the sky, along with 10-15 escort ships. A wing of 4 vultures opened up on me but I got away, with similar messages to above. Dropped out of SC, tried to approach the location and CTD'ed. Sent the error log which prompted after the crash.
 
If you see your ship/srv below ground when logging in the game, log off back to mainmenu quickly and try again. So far it has worked for me.
The best way is to log out and log into normal elite and it will ask you if you would like to be put in orbit in your ship, hit yes and then you can log back out and into Horizons. works every time at no loss of SRV.
 
cI have a feeling we wont be seeing any actually aliens for awhile thats not including the barns and the UAs. I just wonder what we have to do to proceed.
 
Yeah that's right... run away Federal pigdogs!

Try to destroy the cap ship and not let it warp out. I tried doing yesteday but I crashed and gave up:p

Destroy everything in the cap ship besides weapons and radiatiors then. Keep shooting at it from the inside. Its hull will soon hit 0... I got 1 to 59% hull yesterday and then crashed
 
Fell through textures when deployed SRV on Barney/Farragut site. Currently 110 km and falling. I think i won the game!
Keep going For Science and see what happens when you reach the middle

Then quit and load 1.6 instead and you and your ship will be pooped out into space.

Does this his mean they reacted to the Artifact? Mr Michael Brookes if you are still there would it be possible for you to confirm if this mechanic is present in the game at the moment? (or I will have to believe I lost 7mil in vain).

If it's a theory you can test yourself, or with others, then do that rather than just ask for the answer- it'll be a helluva lot more fun and you get the be the "guy who found out"

I do have another question, UA related. What are the theories around the UA spinning while idle? it rotates veery slow counterclockwise, not that it is a random thing, if you hit the UA it will reorientate to Merope and start the spinning as well.

I'd like to have a discussion, not a random 'lets bruteforce this'. Cheers

Might be conical scanning as part of the "alignment to Merope" mechanism.
 
Detailed searching is seriously slow. I would love to have a better in-game map with search grids and the like.

Someone was working on a 3D visualization of planets at one point to invistigate barnacle locations ... I did some work on it as well, but then I disappeared for 3 months ;). If it's worth it, I'll try and resurrect the project.

I think any assistance to planetary searching would be fantastic, as would the ability to bookmark ppoi/barney locations. In the absence of decent in-game support a third party tool would be really useful here. I'm no programmer- is there a way to get the current planet coordinates of the HUD & feed into a surface map?
