Everyone got power back when the first ship left. The power loss is part of the scripted event sequence, so it makes sense that the loss goes away at the point where the ship starts to leave.

Note the second ship trying to get into position and not being able to due to the first ship being there. The collision detetection prevented the second ship feeding/refuelling/whatever until after the first ship buggered off.

I like buggy instances because they give you a look under the hood that you wouldn't otherwise get.

Ah yes, that makes sense! Thanks

so, how many other commanders have visited barnacle sites in the witch head nebula?

edit: also, i do not believe the scan messages you get when you scan a barnacle are a glitch.

I've hung out at several sites in California for a while, but no unknown ships. Either they're local to the Pleiades (which begs the question why are the barnacles not just local?) or they are hanging around there for a specific reason, which begs the age old question of why?

PS: I'm currently posted up at the Merope 2a barnacle near Alcazar's Hope and there are about 15 Fed ships flying around the capship. Please Alcazar send me a flower ship so I can watch all those Feddies drop out of the sky like flies!

A silly thought, but has anyone tried highlighting the text of these barney "messages" and changing font colour? Have FD programmed them as black text on black background?

The background of the messages isn't black, and isn't flat, so you'd see if there was text in a different/dark colour.

I also know of no way to highlight messages that come in via the comms tab.

I tried displaying them against the backdrop of the fog/fireflies given off by a UA...... no luck:eek:

And now I just had another thought... to try displaying the message as I get in range of a UA scan.... (I know, pass the tinfoil !!)

Oh well, back on a UA hunt then.

Well, tried UA and UP (Scan, EMP Blast and Fog/Fireflies).... nothing. (As expected, but had to try!).

Back to the biscuit barrel for me [smile]

i was looking at the triangles thinking maybe its some crazy fluid motion like the ninja hand signs from naruto, but there always seems to be a larger triangle present in the glyphs. That leads me to believe with the 4 joints in the arm that they could easily form the larger triangle with 1 arm, leaving the other arm + 8 digits open for signing. I drew a crude picture with stick figures:

of course the life sized version is much larger, and redder, and the mouth probably has sharp teeth as most carnivores do...but this gives you a general idea.

note: the circles represent joints, there are supposed to be 2 more then humans have

The larger triangle could mean the body and the small ones position of the joints to form the word?

I've tried to enter an alien encounter (uplift) in the report form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1D-...m5U/viewform?chromeless=1&edit_requested=true

It's not possible to enter a negative coord at second position (long) in the report form for Alien Uplift. Please check the form.

(I put the second "-" at the end of the Coord, like seen in the following)
My encounter:
System: Pleiades Sector OI-T C3-7
Planet: A6
Coords: -42.77,21.71-
Date/Time: 2017-06-08 18:06
Double
Ripe
Not guarded
Don't know if ammonia
Private Group

Thanks! I've updated the form so it should now work, though I can't update your entry (and from past experience I'm not sure if you can :( )

Edit: In fact I'm surprised you could enter the first '-' either.. Ah, I see \s allows dashes - learn something new every day!

I would do so, if i could. But i can't find the "option" to edit my report ...:rolleyes:
I remember you(?) had posted a link to the google-sheet (table) some days ago. Eventually you can update my entry directly in the sheet???

Thanks for the quick reaction.

Same... but then again... I should've learned my lesson from RNGesus by now with UA/UP convoys etc..

I've still not seen a single US. No hyperdiction, no distress call, no barnacle visit.

I think they are avoiding me, because of what I did to their UAs.

Nedless to say that you will probably never see one, if that's the case. :D

Heheheh :D

I did get Hyperdicted once... happened to be online when the first one happened.

EDIT: That said, it's a shame that posession/interactions with UA/UP/MA's has nothing to do with it.

Got a feeling that we're not all supposed to see the aliens yet!
Most of the galaxy probably doesn't believe yet, still only rumours from pilots on the frontier/us ;)

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this but the 2 planets in system 'Pleiades Sector OI-T c3-7' where the Alien/Thargoid encounters have occured, A6 and B3, both have 1.3% Yttrium which is also needed for Premium FSD Injection.

Planet B8 is a terrestrial ammonia world with carbon-ammonia based life.

I cannot see these facts are important at the moment, maybe as more encounters occur we will find out.

Merope 5C also has 1.2% Yttrium
