I was yesterday in normal space 25 km from the Maia Black Hole and recogniced some strange sounds. I will do a recording today in the evening.

Strange sounds from black holes is normal.

Won't call myself an expert but I got 3 in the same system within 10 minutes just now by just heading directly at Merope from the star of system I'm in. I can't say whether that makes any difference but I have never struggled finding UAs once in "deep space"

I got them all the time while hunting UP in the Taurus Dark Region. Only a few minutes between each USS and all of them were UAs.

I think the spawn rate might be going up again.
 
Here ya go! 10MB, sorry. =p


I'm sure absolutely everything has been talked about but interesting the sparklies are red and match the head colour.

Makes me wonder if we'll find a red sparky barnacle type. The current ones emit blue sparklies I think.

How are you taking such high res screenshots? Are you taking them in 4k or something?

I have steam setup to save uncompressed screenshots, but I can never get one as detailed as that. Maybe its because I'm only playing in 1080p?
 
I'm sorry you did not get the irony ;)
But if you read back your posts carefully, they are very similar to thousands of posts of people teasing us they got the solution without telling. So many. Usually what noobs should do before posting is to read the front page to check what's there.
So please forgive me for the reply, I've read 80.000 posts so far, where 20% were similar to your, but honestly it was fun to write it. :)
Take it easy and go on with your science! ;)

Ah! And welcome to the madness! :D

I've said it before, & I'll say it again... We REALLY need to get "read first page before posting" into the name of the next subthreadnaught!
 
Hi cmdrs
I've been looking in to UP message for weeks.
My theory is - free floating UPs are between 420-475 Ly from Merope in the shell 30° wide. Not sure about direction, Sol direction is possible.
Sorry I'm on holiday now, can't check my theory myself 2 more weeks.
Hope to get to PC shortly and post my my drawing to prove this.
Good luck

Aye 4k, then switch to solo to be able to use alt-f10 for the res doubled(?) screenshot. The BMP from that was 387MB!!

It's a bit silly really to be honest and mobile users are gonna be cursing me but the odd super high res shot is nice I think. :)

I normally play in 1080p though, I mean 4k is awesome, especially on planets but the framerates....

Get an NVidia Titan X :)

Joking aside - awesome screenie.

Not joking: hopefully Frontier will add support for NVidia's Ansel soon :)
 
Bit of a mouthful, & so long don't think it will fit in my bookmarks list, how about
"UA/UP/Barnacles etc: Canonn Thread 9 (read 1st page OR ELSE)"

the implicit threat being that we'll be quite sarcastic, even caustic, to anyone who posts any duplication of anything on the first page? ;)

Lol- it's a good idea.

As a slight alternative -


Barnacles, UAs, UPs & more - The Canonn Thread n (Read 1st Page!)


Prediction though: all the current 'read the first page' posts will simply become 'read the title' :)

Was trying to squeeze down the length to make it more punchy & fit completely into the bookmarks list- you don't need the extra spaces , "more" or "the" ;)

a double exclamation mark might be better (i.e. implicit threat!!)


Sadly I think your prediction is 100% probable! :eek:
 
Those circles in the "eyes" of the UP, what do they look like to everyone??
