how many Meta Alloy each barnacle site has.
the single barnacles have two formats, 1 MA spike , or the 2 MA spikes with more regular spikes.
Double barnacles , they are either closer together , with 4 MA spikes, or the 5MA spike format, which are spaced further apart.
Maybe they have different functions or purpose we dont understand yet.
Then we also have the forest barnacles. Small ones with 9 MA spikes, and 24 and biggest with 35 .
All fibronachi sequence numbering.
Yet to assertain why , but if correct there should be a 15 MA medium forest i predict.
So i decided to venture myself and take a lookski around.
I dare say that FD have added some extra barnacles at some point.
hopping around undiscovered system filter ( some of which i have visited before and all non visited )
keeping within 150 lyrs or so on average of Maia/merope as middle.
Seems i have not checked many of the out lying systems, especially now we have the probe thingie.
couple of possibles, but not quite right, just a couple of viable planets.
So around 15-20 systems later , came across a nice candidate,multiple suns , many viable planets. hopes were high when i saw the system setup. Typical barnacle prime candidate.. and nobody has mapped it, so presumably its fresh.
Excited. only scanned B 4 so far , and 4 thargoid signals. updates later. checks and science next.
Only B planets viable. good numbers. B4 4 , B5 5 , B6 5 , B7 8
checked b7 , all 8 sites, and no forest. maybe one will turn up on a planet with 9+ sites.
will explore more later. maybe see if other systems are now viable and if new systems are rare or just infrequent.
