Been rather busy last 2 weeks with various things. Time i gave an update , since the cycle shifted into A on thursday, i've not had time to update.
Well observed,, fits into predictions perfectly for cycle A.
I'll update the cycle A locations shortly, but there has been a curious development regarding the latest barnacle system finds from last week.
Science - Barnacle anomaly
CYCLE A BARNIES
Pleiades Sector RO-Q B5-0 4 -23.59 / 70.94 4 MA
Merope 2A 2.68 / 143.03 4 MA away from the guarded barnacle under capship. Nearby Alcazar's Hope
Pleiades Sector OI-T C3-7 A 6 -42.77 / -21.71 5 MA *
Witch Head Sector DL-Y D17 A 1 7.10 / -173.82 5 MA
California Sector Dl-Y D4 C 2 45.69 / -88.15 5 MA

Science - Barnacle anomaly
Shortly after many barnacle sites and systems were located around the Pleiades, various research bases had been built in systems with barnacles , supposedly to study and research them.
Nothing has ever been revealed by these bases. They ship out MA in convoys and any research is kept classified. Considering the placement of the bases they dont seem random either.
Alcazar's Hope, that was my mutant one, Currently ripe now in A cycle , the double clone that is, the main single barnacle of the triplet is 1MA and guarded, beneath the capship. Ripe cycles on this barnacle are strangest as the same barnacle has different ripe cycles for each part of the double. when the double to the side is ripe, it also itself doubles and is a triplet barnacle. As you can see in cycle A if you visit near Alcazar's Hope.
I'd like to think maybe the Empire have been experimenting in the new system from last week. Somehow they have managed to alter them to remain in a ripe phase. That would be a meta alloy dream, a 5 MA barnacle ripe all season!
Although i presume this is a bug due to a few reasons. Discovered the 3 barnacles in that system on the same day i believe they added the empire base to that system, and probably added the barnacles too.
First observation of something amiss, was scanning the barnacles, i did receive the scanned messages and nav targets for each, but appeared to be missing the intel data package for barnacle scans.
Strange but didn't seem too important at the time. Since the cycle changed however the barnacles in that system DID NOT change. They remain ripe still in cycle A.
Confirming that the cycle change did happen by checking other systems, they all changed as predicted, however this system did not and with the ripe phase remaining.
It would seem the intel barnacle scan data package is very important. On a regular barnacle it varies depending on the ripe or barren phase. More cash for a ripe one compared to barren , which gives half the cash.
With the intel barnacle data package missing and the barnacle remaining ripe, it would seem the barnacles in this system are not tied to the cycle changes.
Discovered in C, remaining ripe in A , and will continue to monitor this through to B and C again. I predict it they will remain ripe all cycles in that system.
Explored for several days more for further barnacles in that system on all planets but found no more.
Strange , only 2 on A6 , and even stranger only 1 found on B3 , none on B4.
Of the three, one is of major interest and study. The 5 MA barnacle , which may remain ripe until FD may fix a cycle to the barnacles there.
For now,, i present the best barnacle ever. ( cycle C not relevant now, C + A , will confirm B in 2 weeks )
