would be better to just drop all of them on the Federal CG Station!
New Barnacle system in the Pleiades. Located en route to the pleiades and noticed Cap ship and convoy beacons in orbit. Feds are moving MA in convoys.- Pleiades sector RO-Q B5-0 planet 4 -27.0810 75.1162
Difficult to locate viable areas,, searched one massive crater, nothing. several large canyon networks inbetween mostly barren planet. First canyon area yielded nothing, but 2nd brighter canyons barnacle confirmed. guarded by skimmers.

Edit : 2nd barny found nearby -27.1014 74.6003 no spikes no defenses. http://imgur.com/a/Nj0M9

Googling binary systems
does this mean they don't orbit the star they orbit eachother
They orbit a mutual center of gravity, which it turn orbits the star.

My explorer report for the evening. Spent all day searching the center of the Spirograph nebula (BD+ whatever). First two planets have beautiful rings around them - high gravity, but some good mineral deposits.
The rest are fairly uneventful - a couple more larger planets and a few ice balls, but nothing out of the ordinary.

If frontier support have any cop on they should return the UP alright, especially with all the attention this has. It was lost due to a bug after all, not your fault.
In the mean time, I have seen clips on youtube of lads in SRVs while someone else is honking the UP. You could try dig them up if you need the footage?

Barnacles - A chemical Analysis
In the link on the first page to the Chemical Analysis of the Barnacles, it talks about the minerals observed in each Barnacle. These are: IRON, NICKLE, CARBON, SULFUR, PHOSPHORUS.
I just did detailed scans of about five Barnacle planets and they all have in common these five elements - no other elements are common across all of the planets. So, it's safe to say the Barnacles are 'growing' out of the planet, using the planet's resources to grow. I don't really know the meaning of this other than maybe the UPs are scanning systems to inform something of suitable planets to 'plant' barnacles on? If that's the case, the message may contain details of the chemical composition of the airless planets in the system.

For some reason the UP likes to disappear when scooped. Has happened many times to people already. All have been returned after submitting a ticket I believe.

Hm. Are we sure we've even actually heard the transmission yet?
He's the Dude, man! He dwells!
That video will be enough to have support return you the probe when you send a ticket. Without it, you wouldn't get anything back. Same happened to me a while back.

anyone got any updated info on all the confirmed spots where UP convoys are spawning ?
Ahh well - we will just have to disagree then. Yes am familiar with what he said - I just dont think he confirmed what you seem to be saying.
So they just point to the centre of the planet ,was hoping they would point towards a crater or valley or something ,like iron filings with a magnet do. .......oh well
Here he confirmed that it points to just the planet not toward a crater or valley or something.
Here he indicates they are pointing for different reasons which is interesting and comparing it the UA because it is pointing at a System... but the UP is pointing at a planet.
Im trying to answer the Reasoning for the pointing behavior - And no I do not see anything that precludes the possibility that there is some sort of signal transmission network going on here
It's important to have members like you who can help others focus their effort while still being respectful towards them. So thank you CMDR.
Sadly no. That's more like a single helix, ie just a sine wave. I'm on mobile so hard to do links etc but just Google image search for psk and you will see someach examples.
That's not to say there isn't information encoded here somehow, but that doesn't look like normal psk.

Just picked up 2 new composites materials, i wont say where so far but core dynamic composites and propritetory composites, are these a known thing or new ?

Ok thanks found them close to the pre logistic support delta station in Hyades sector AB-W b2-21 sector one of the new 8 federal outposts systems on the way to maia
Not new system as I reported this on this thread last week and on reddit, the Feds are also in pleiades sector jc-u b3-2, and I found one of the barnacles and another at -23.3386, 71.5158, I suspected there would be a third nearby as it seems that barnacles often spawn three close to each other so nice to have it confirmed
I suspect that all the barnacle systems in the Pleiades region will have Feds or Imps present at this point (or will in the next week or two) and it wont be long before the california and witchhead barnacles are claimed as well
Ahhh sods. UP lost.
Due to a bug I think. Scooped it up in my SRV, nothing appeared in the cargo, literally just disappeared into nowhere.
Well I am assuming it's a bug and not some ability of the UP.
Was trying to line up a nice UA/UP shot.

Oh well.
Aaaaah nooooo.
Darn, I hope they give it back to you.
Thanks for your efforts so far!
That leaves us with only 1 UP if I remember correctly but I can't recall who has it.
Long period of theories incoming I guess.
Crack Theory of the day! What happens if you take a UP inside a station all the way to the very end near the comms tower that makes those weird sounds. and then those sounds show up on a specto gram........ I mean. Brookes said its sonic of some sort. and those sounds at the back of those stations seem.. sonic like.
