Gotta say I agree with Walaykin. "Fake" gives the impression of intended dishonesty, which I don't think is the case here.

Without wanting to offend, you are a little brash with your words. Maybe a little more courtesy to fellow commanders would help avoid these little misunderstandings. o7

+1, repped.

So, i just read in a news article " that "in a move that shocked many system residents, the Barons of Deacan have let slips the dogs of war this week after they openly declared their intent to overthrow the Toxandji United Corporation and take over Tsunenaga Orbital" Barons of Deacon refused to make a comment on this, but Toxandji Corporation did, but due to press guidelines it was prohibited from being published.

Maybe that sheds a bit of light on the cipher thing? (and perhaps the current CG a little?)
 
Also, is there a reason my replies need to wait for moderator approval suddenly?

Edit: okay apparently not?? It was just a one off post?
NVM

anyway, it was about the whole let slip dogs of war thing seemed to refer to intent of a war between deacon and toxanji - which seems to have already happened maybe??

Its been what? 2 days now? I havent seen it dark nor seen a single screenshot at night. I almost think its tidally locked to the sun. Or it is a very very long day.
You kidding? it's dark right now. I'm in Open yet I'm the only CMDR here. It's eery!

Latest Merope 5c report : nothing... logging in and out and relanding just shows the remains of a shot outcrop... whether in solo or open

Oh well... just happened to be in the area

My apologies. I had no intention of misleading or exciting people, and in fact that is why I posted it to Reddit due to the much lower traffic compared to these forums. As stated through the videos and Reddit post, I was fairly certain what I was witnessing was a bug/glitch though my lack of surface mining meant I was completely unaware as to how things would look when cycling modes. After thinking over that POI for a week and returning to it, now spitting out rocks, I gave in and posted the half-joke/half-"help what is going on" that was linked here.

To summarize:
  • Some commanders saw an outcrop, some saw nothing spawned at all, and some in Open (but not in my Wing) were able to see the split rock formation of a broken outcrop.
  • I have had a POI mini-circle for this position since October 30th, and while Metallic Meteorites are supposedly capable of having them, this was an Outcrop (as best I can assume at this point).
  • I still have the POI mini-circle and despite being in the same instance as other people, they can not see it.
  • All videos of my hunts related to this have been posted on that Reddit thread, as well as an earnest effort to make sure people in the comments understood that I was fairly certain this event may be a bug (despite the shooting rocks).
  • My HUD was disabled in the first video because that is how I typically fly in Elite. I toggled it on for people to view the coordinates and information, in the beginning, and then toggled it back off so that the view of what was occurring would be completely unobstructed.

Again, I am deeply sorry if this caused a sense of urgency or chaos. There are still a lot of unanswered questions regarding the POI circle itself and what bug is responsible for whichever part of this mess, but clearly the tone of humor and mystery in my post was entirely off the mark. Normally, I keep even fully-proven ideas and concepts to myself.. but man... shooting rocks was something I was completely unprepared for.

By all means, let's keep this going.

The original post was made in haste to stop all y'all from getting up in arms over nothing. Words were chosen quickly, not carefully. Not that I think "fake" was the wrong word to use, but whatever. To make all y'all happy. I will make a little edit.
 
Are the images in the YouTube vid from one of the ED trailers?

It's not an ED Trailer. It's a Video about Unidentified Probes and their EMP. Everytime the EMP is "shown" there are Images flashing for 1 or 2 Frames. Another Picture of the Barnacle has been shown by FD, but that (supposedly) Type 9 is no where to find on the Internet...and i'd like to know where that image comes from
 
First time poster, long time reader. Really enjoying the mystery end enthusiasm of the community. Well done to all!

Would have been worse if you didnt say anything at all, could have been a turning point missed. I woulda probably done the same!
