Ok seems i might be the first to locate the sneaky Alliances 2nd base which we built at the end of december, they added it in the last patch but never mensioned it from what i have searched.
While doing my rounds studying the barnacles of the Pleiades i ventured out to the California Nebula to have a check on their states. I had in mind that i would take a look around for the new alliance base , that is if it had been added yet.
I thought maybe they were going to wait till 2.3 which would be way off, no reason not to add it with the new patch the other day, but no mension in the patch notes or any galnet news or news from the end of the CG either.
3 systems with barnacles are known. So i continued at a slow pace logging each in the systems while also searching for new finds.
In California sector LC-V C2-10 there were known barnacles on A2,A3,A4 and B1. scanned those but for a long time since first coming here suspected there should be one on A5 too. Confirmed that rather quickly with a first find on that planet.
California Sector LC-V C2-10 A 5 -19.91 / -7.52
Moved onto the next system, completed scans and finished up at California sector BA-A E6 4 - few barnacles there, confirmed that old nav targets had remained from long ago, useful info for another area of research i'm investigating.
Nothing located and was ready to head home. Before leaving decided to drop into Mic turner base to check news/missions etc.
No missions - cannot contact server issues,, happens on most of these distant bases.
but looking in the news section, not much info but this caught my eye.
Didnt seem to make sense,, expansion from a system to here failed , by the same faction? HIP 18077 - I checked galmap and then the system map having visited it before,nothing visible.
No population in galmap view either but there isnt also at mic turners base either in BA-A E6. Maybe FD forgot to add that info or maybe its just alliance being sneaky
Looking at where its located,, further outside the nebula, but still close enough. Easily missed by many heading to the middle of the nebula. Once entered the system, obvious , Turner research group rather than anarchy, many npc ships in supercruise and USS
Base showed up on system map once i had visited the system again.
I scanned the planets while heading to the Mahon Research Bases on HIP 18077 6 C - Some massive ringed inner planets , various volcanism about too. more moons to investigate to around 8 and 9 moons.
Landed soon at Mahon Research base, curious to see if the placement would have any fungas site like at Mic turners base. Quickly located a nearby small POI for the fungal site, you soon notice it nearby but only at lower altitudes.
HIP 18077 6C -38.02 / -85.64 Right near the base, so head base first, and you soon can locate it nearby.
Spoiler wrap,, lot of images.
