Greetings, not sure if it's a bug. I dismissed my ship and now only have the option to leave 'settlement 317' in red as an option.

Edit : I dropped my cargo of two meta alloys canisters and now it is offering ' leave settlement 346m' instead.

Edit again, distance to move in m's before ship could be recalled

on Xbox, just had a double encounter in Pleiades sector OI-T C3-7 on planet 6A.

since I got there while it happened (literally flew off for a few minutes to scan the nav beacon and land at a settlement) i have no proper pics or vids. seemed like the second arrival was bugged since it appeared that the alien FSD wake was still open from the previous alien ship and that the tendrils that usually open such wake were still engaged and connected to the ship while it harvested the barnacle.
 
On this image, from Bl1p's livestream, is what to me looks like a holo of the Barnacle, almost like our holographic landing pads we use to line up a landing. Is this it's way of lining up the Barnacle?

Actually it is a decagon with 10 sides, with a darker one in its center - possibly a HUD but it's floating outside of the cockpit

This is another shot from Bl1p's live stream. He was trying to more it upwards. This is one of four 'thrusters'. A bit UA head like?

This is also where the orange 'smoke' trails come out of

got a long good detail look at the unknown ship dew to a rare bug of the unknown ship not leaving that may cause my CTD at the end of the video.

So just a thought on the flowerships - the large balls that are in the cockpits seem to have roughly the same surgace pattern as the inner part of the central part of the underside of the ships. There also appears to be a passageway from the cockpit through to lower in the ship. I've always wondered if the ships were dropping off the balls onto planets and whether they are then growing into the barnacles. Perhaps it's the reverse and what's gathered from the barnacles gets balled up and passed to the upper of the ship. Perhaps both are happening.
 
At C3-7 waiting for a glimpse. While waiting around I just scanned a barnacle... and got a Scanned Message. Which is completely blank.

Not sure what the "large balls" are you see in the cockpit - it seems empty, with 3 tunnels out of the back, one above the other.
I've been left in BL1P's instance with the captive flower ... do i risk burning the house down and leave the session on overnight? lol

some big pictures:

(edit: ah, dammit: just landed and the flower has decided that it can power me down and freeze me into an iceball again)

We can't move it until 2.4. We haven't decided where it's going yet, though the Pleiades would be the leading contender I suspect.

Would be handy to have a base in Eta Carina if we find a few more ruins & want to coordinate a search - but not if we had to leave the Gnosis there until 2.5.

Do we know if docked CMDRs move with the ship? Would be a fun way to organise trips to remote areas :)
 
Galactic News: Barnacles Targeted by Unknown Ships
03 JUN 3303
Recent reports from the Pleiades Sector OI-T c3-7 system indicate that the so-called Unknown Ships have begun interacting with the region’s barnacles.

Eyewitnesses report that the ships have been seen targeting the barnacles with some kind of energy beam, apparently in order to extract matter from them. Pilots have also reported that their ships and SRVs spontaneously lose power while in proximity to the Unknown Ship.

The news follows reports that the Unknown Ships have been seen at the locations of mysterious attacks in the Maia system.

We will continue to bring you up-to-the-minute reports on this issue.
