How long have you been camping at the barnacles with still no alien ship?

Another hour wasted using the Obsidian Ant Method... Needless to say - it doesn't work!

Quitting this and going to do some Pew Pew instead. Far more productive!
 
We're talking about a game played by men mostly in their early 30 to late 40's pretending to be spaceship captains...... in space!!!

But yes. Visit the barnicle sites... or the Alien ruins (when new) players interacted. At the barnicle sites right now, its like a camp fire with drunken revelers running about. You dont see that anywhere else in game. At least not to this scale.

Just saying that maybe its a sign that ED needs a community hotspot. Im hoping Spacelegs and space stations will be this.

One can hope.

What's needed is a deployable habitation module with a bar. We can leave the SRV's outside while we have a drink.
 
Repped for the story - so you still haven't see 'them' yet???? Those mystery ships that swirl out of the inky black, zap the Barnies of all their stored goodies and then slip away again into the inky nothingness...

Nah.... Me neither. I'll be heading back to the bubble tonight. You can only stare at the ground for so long before the boredom becomes too severe to endure any longer. Guess I'll find myself a combat CG and do some Pew Pew instead ;)

>>>> Heading for the CG comms page...

nope still waiting.... another night of rumble bang whale song and nothing... i might loss it all together at this rate

I have had three encounters, one per day at the OI-T C3-7 B3 site. When it happened, it always happened soon after landing. This site can get dark though. You can also make some money by harvestings the barnacles for Meta-Alloys (mode switch to get more) and selling them at Darnielle's Progress in Maia. In fact, this will earn more than mining.
 
I saw it at least 6 times, 4 of which using the method devised by CMDR Publicstaticvoid (look it up). Never got "beamed up" though, even sitting right up against the barnacle.
 
It's probably been stated elsewhere already, but in case it hasn't:
- No need to camp if you have a few wingbuddies. Just make sure some of you cycle to supercruise / in out of the SRV.
A session change like that seems to poke the monster.
It may take a few Random seconds or minutes until it appears. You may have to keep cycling for several times until the trigger happen.

We've done this with great success for Canonn recording events.
Make sense, the trigger need to be attached to a initiator (session change). However it seems to depend on a random delay after it's been triggered.

Have not been as successful doing it alone.
Having more people on the ground + doing the session changes seems to increase the odds dramatically.
