Ok, I know splitting our search results is a bad idea, but if anyone wants to follow the linear search method instead of the grid search method, my sheet is now public.
If you want to fly east-west, use the Latitude sheet.
If you want to fly north-south use the Longitude sheet.
I think I've got my lat/long the right way around, please tell me if I've screwed up!
Stick to your chosen latitude or longitude as much as possible and try and fly the full 10 degree paths (if that's too far, let me know).
Once an initial survey at those 10 degree intervals is nearly complete, we can start adding the 5 degree intervals, and then the 1 degree intervals.

I'll keep an eye on your map. I'm thinking of maybe coming up with a new color for data derived from your map, so I'd take a 10x10 section and color it yellow for instance to indicate it's been logged on your map. Does your coordinate system assume rounding down?
Remember that mine isn't a grid system - a box represents a 10 degree linear path from one point to the next.
I'm not sure we should be cross-seeding results - my search method isn't claiming to have searched an 'area', but only viewed what is below the line of flight.
The idea is that we can see a little bit to each side of each search path but we're not sure how far. The coverage comes from adding more lines of search later on.
Hmm, ok. Good point. We'll keep our results seperate for now then.
I'm actually trying to work around an script so people can simply complete a form and the grid will fill itself.

There is no morse in the UP sound.
Those occasional noises made of 3/4 fast hi/low bip, some people are hearing, are there since day one, I know them very well, they are static, all the same at every cycle, in 2 or 3 different variants.
The other sounds are the well know hi/low Purrs we know very well, and the rare Whale Sound, like a Howl, different from the UA's, more deep, and high pitched.
Always whale like, a screaming whale
Nothing more. If there's a mystery, it is not in the sound.

Thank you Riz
BluWolve, I read every post and follow your theory as much as I can. I try to prove wrong every theory I think can be proved wrong (as it is easier than proving right sometimes). E.g. remember the triangle theory? There were a few pages two weeks ago about how 'logic' was everything and how 'clear' was that it is a triangle and the center of the triangle holds the secret to the universe? I pushed that theory and I was answering that theory posts a lot. The people defending it? some of them seem gone now. Remember when the first barnacle was found in California? suddenly it was clear that barnacles only grow in three nebulae, so I went to a random nebula and spend 3 weeks non-stop searching for barnacles there, trying to find one. I was vocal on those days as well trying to prove it wrong. I could not, but I tried. The people defending that theory seems gone as well or they were the same.
Yet here your are, constant, with an idea, stubborn, trying to prove it right. And I just can't seem to find a way to disprove your theory, thus I'm quiet, very quiet.. paying attention just in case I can say anything. I can't find a way to say your theory is wrong or seems not correct, and your dedication to it is as I said, admirable.
But, you made two mistakes..
First one:
Do you see the irony in there?
And also..
Don't make the mistakes other did, keep pushing your theory until you can prove it right or wrong, then one day you will write a page in the history of ED as the person who tried and did everything he could to grow a barnacle, the truly one to ask when someone comes up with the same idea in 6 months, the voice of barnacle farming if someone thinks of a random test. You will complement the rest of the people, and you will do very well.
Cheers and keep up the good work!!!

Sure, I'll touch down there then. Might as well leave an artefact and some meta-alloys there myself too.
"42000000 Cr fine gained: Galactic littering"
That would be quite handy. Let me know if you need me to set anything for you.
Just brainstorming:
What do we expect to find on Merope 5C ? More Barnacles ?
Just asking, because now that the UP's are pointing there, which is kind of a more "precise" location information, than we got previously from the UA's (which just pointed at Merope System in general).
However, somewhere in the old thread (#6) it was mentioned that "UA's are not pointing to Merope, because of the Barnacles" - so i'm honestly kind of confused how this all comes together, if UA/UP are not 'connected' to the Barnies ?
Maybe we are supposed to find something else, alien shipwreck or ancient alien outpost, or something ?
I just wanted to bring this up, that we are not only looking for barnacles, but for essentialy everything 'uncommon' ....

My theory is the way frontier works is they lead us in a direction, obviously the UA lead us to Merope which lead to the discovery of the barnacles. But there's two theories of thought. Maybe we missed something and this is frontiers way of nudging us a little more to look closer, or it's a new addition to the evolution of the mystery. Either way they want us to focus on Merope 5c. My opinion is we're finally going to see what the center part of the barnacle's purpose is.
I think the current theory is that FD created the Unknown Probes as a kind of hint that we should actually still be looking at Merope 5c and we kinda stopped after the first barnacles were found. So there's something new to find there - but what exactly we don't know.
As I understood it, the idea is that the UA's were not actually pointing at Merope, even though they seemed to be. This is because they are actually pointing away from it, we just think their front is their back. One theory has suggested that the UA's were produced by the Barnacles in Merope during a seeding event which occured possibly thousands of years ago. If this is true, the UA's could be traveling at sublight speed in all directions away from Merope, possibly to seed other planets with Barnacles. If you find a UA in space, it doesn't seem to be moving but you could argue that, since in space everything is always moving relative to something, when we drop out of frameshift near one we're moving along with it at sublight speed through the system (ie: the UA is our relative body), it's just that our speed relative to the UA isn't changing so it appears to be stationary.

+1000 on that post.
I truly believe it is possible to grow a Barnacle, but we - as players - cannot do it, we are only the spectators. The only interaction we can have is through harvesting or scanning Barnacles. Basically a mechanic that has already been integrated and that sends data to the server. Planting a UA into the ground does not send info to the server, it is not a mechanic that has been implemented (as far as I know). However, coming across a POI with an Unknown Artefact in the process of growing a Barnacle is perfectly possible.
I hope that you - BluWolve - are the first one to come across such POI.

i think there is truly something else than barnacles on merope 5c.
my expectations to find what is it are growing hour by hour

freelance reports are submitted by players. There wont be any hints or clues in them.
Disclaimer: I am currently suffering from the worse jet lag I've ever known. It is possible that entire post is garbage.
How feasible would a full scale mapping project of Merope 5c be? By this I mean getting screen shots of the entire planet surface, linking them all together to form a large texture, mapping them to a sphere and then linking to some form of data storage so poi would be visible on it and details could be stored and displayed by clicking on the map. Maybe other functionality could be added.
Note I'm not talking about the actual coding, that would be pretty straightforward in something like Unity simply the mapping of the planet surface? Getting a screenshot at a certain height on your way down to the planet on the way down would be trivial for most people but how big is the planet itself? I can't get into game right now and fly, wouldn't trust myself to get out of the station in one piece.
It's seems certain the 5c isn't going anywhere for a while so it could be a long term thing. Something to keep us going when the chase inevitably dies down.
Thoughts?
