The Barnacle hunter artworks are bothe awesome, but if we're going to get a decal, I'd prefer it was simply our Canonn logo - maybe with a text circle with our name in it. Basically because it better represents us all - barnacle hunting is ONE thing that some of us do, but there's also cononneers looking into UA's, the missing, the formidine rift etc etc.

Anyway, a few of you expressed interest in seeing my screenshots of the b type trails from Pleiades:

To California and Witch Head

Witch Head to Orion

From the Barnards Loop nebulae back to California


The screenshots don't quite do it justice - when you can zoom in and rotate the map, you can see the trails very clearly, looping and winding their way between the nebulae. You can also appreciate how strong or weak the connections are.

Totally unrelated to the current topic..

I was discussing in another thread about UA bombing, and had a kind of revelation that I don't know why I didn't notice before. I still think Unknown Probe and Unknown Artefact are different things. I trully beleive this. But, I stepped into this and then now I might start thinking about my own assumptions. Take a look at the target info in this picture of a 2.1 (release) UA.

Why does it says 'illegal in jurisdictions' and not 'illegal savage' as it was saying before 2.1? I know Unknown Probe is illegal in jurisdictions, at the same time there is nothing about unknown artefacts being illegal. Something has changed as now it is no longer illegal savage.

You know the barnacle near the Cruiser....Its making very very different noises than the other barns I've visited....Like Its both new noises and the "old" ones, However It may just be me forgetting what they sounded like

This audio was recorded 01/16/2016 on MEROPE 5C's barnacle, well before the Farragut arrival, if you want to compare the sound it makes :

It sounds similar...But it sounds a lot more active and louder(I'd use the word violent?) and its louder sonar like pings are different or have more stuff added onto the end of them(also thanks for the link!)

So no fresh ideas for me to try with my seed theory?

Also, if it really is not possible for me to grow my own barnacle can we please get it in some future dlc? Elite dangerous is all about player choice and being able to do so many different cool things, but now I just want to pick a quiet corner of the galaxy and raise me some barnies haha. I already went out and bought the protective goggles and debarbing snips, I even picked out a nice little planet i know they will love...

Come on I will provide meta alloys to the community for half the price they try to sell them for at Darnielles progress (talk about ripoffs!). My plan is to one day own a fleet of ships that can deliver the meta alloy all over the galaxy at high quantities and low low prices.

I will treat all my barnies humanely, I believe happy livestock is productive livestock, so you can always count on BluWolves Barnies to be of the utmost quality.

Damn I will even sing to them in whale song if i have to just let me grow them please haha

I hadn't considered that factions may be fighting for control of the barnacles but I like it! Definitely worth checking out the automated defenses for markings of any kind.
My personal storyline theory has the superpowers working together

Lore wise, i believed that Fed and Empire were kindof in a cordial cold-war : not openly aggressive but not loving each other anyway.
Then i don't see them working together.
And Alliance is all Swiss-neutral.

BluWolve said:
When players took so much of the meta alloy that the barnacles stopped working, defenses were setup to protect them. First there were turrets and skimmers then the big ships showed up.
I believe that the barnacles are sentient, and destroying them is not just irritating their creators, but is about to send them rogue and somehow evolve into a serious threat to humankind.
All speculation on my part with no real facts to back it up but I'm not sure how much we can figure out for sure of the story at the moment. However, I think signs are pointing to something happening soon that may help nudge us along. I'm hoping anyway
Click to expand...

I'd be extra careful mixing facts with speculations, but we agree on the recent signs being a nudge.

And from my point of view, it may well be FD providing us ingame hints instead of forum ones and if it is : well played gentlemen, love it !
I back this last one with MB being active on the thread lately at crucial discovery time, but not giving any hint away like he did some times in the past : only correcting specific points of lore / player assumptions.
That's a big behavior change toward the community and i said it already, i love it if it's really the case [heart].

Unknown Probe and Unknown Artefact are different things. Michael has confirmed that.

Whats happened to all the intact spikes at the barnacles as listed on the Barnacle update page.
I am currently at
Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 249.9075102.7141

And no intact spikes or turrets as listed on the main update page.

I have also been to
Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 2-18.23-17.35
Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 249.5347102.0792
It is the same at them all, no intact spikes.

My theory on the crashed anaconda is that it was purely a mechanism to lead us to a barnacle. People had been whining pretty hard here that we hadn't found one, and then the galnet story was released complete with hints on finding the ship (and therefore barnacle). As it happens a barnacle was found in Merope the same day.

Could this right here be the explanation to MB's comment about the Merope barnacle being a hard one to find?

At first I'd be like... They made legal salvage a thing now, so that's kind of logic and they corrected their actual state.

But then, what if there's one jurisdiction wich where they are legal, and that we need that Palin MA grade Cargo module to carry an UA long enough to survive and finding that system?

They change on Thursdays now (although they didn't change on the Thursday that's just gone).

Tend to agree BUT for the yellow crates with their markings- seem to be a clue but no idea in what direction it leads

So I'm currently at Aries Gw-w D1-52 (looking for UA's for fragments) and I keep on getting Signal sources that i can't locate? like i hear one pop up and it notifies me but its not on the list, Just a bug? or am i blind and missing a simple signal
Nope seems that when i find one they just take a bit to really spawn whoops
Click to expand...

Worth noting, it's not worth looking for USS as well if you're doing over 300c. That gives you about six seconds to respond to the USS spawning, as they will show up within 1,000Ls, and also disappear when you're over 1,000Ls away.

Honestly, I would say it's because you've never jetted one in an inhabited system before and observed it?
I note that specific system in the screenshot is in an inhabited system. "Illegal Salvage" will display in any of the systems where there's no inhabitants (as anything salvaged in space that isn't for a mission-specific legal salvage operation) is "Illegal Salvage" but having it in a system with laws makes it illegal in the jurisdiction. I believe this has always been the case (at least, in my experience). I've mentioned this before also, but UA's aren't unique as far as being "Illegal in Jurisdiction" without being on illegal goods lists.

I can't demonstrate with screenshots of the UAs in the UI at the moment, some pressing BGS stuff going on.
