Yes, of course. Over a long time a very large amount of something that does almost nothing can have a great effect. A single drop of water does almost nothing to a mountain, and yet given enough water and enough time the mountain will be reduced to sand. That doesn't invalidate the original statement. Another example I added to that previous post: there is a 10kg lump of lead sitting on the ground. What does it do? Almost nothing. Well 10kg of dark matter does far less than that.

Yes I remember these 'horns'... And I remember they got sidelined faster than I was able to say this last time:
If you have to nigh identical 'organisms', one has horns and one doesn't, if you're on Earth you'd say you had a male & female...
It was Synuefai DL-V d3-20 out by HR 1113, probably about 2rds of the way from the Pleiades to the California nebula. I had 2 WSS in just a few minutes. Didn't see any more SS until I was much closer to the Pleiades.
Incidentally I'm only seeing a few SS of any sort per hour around the Pleiades today.
Edit: of course, having just said that, I've just got a USS and a WSS in quick succession in HIP 17403.
That is what I was thinking LordZoltan.
Could anyone holding a UA please drop it and take a look at the top of the head to see if it has "horns" or if it is "smooth"?
Maybe mention which system you checked it in as well, just in case there's a correlation (which I wouldn't expect there to be).
If you want to talk in a human timeframe, don't expect much to get done. We're just a speck in time compared to the age of the universe. You can't expect a proto-planetary disk to become the solar system overnight, or even in the entire history of mankind. But given time there is great impact.
It just because it's a long system name.
Really because this video by Rauminen the markings only stay lit for 9 seconds.

Zeniths lasts for a full 24 seconds, that's a huge difference. I relly hope its not something simple like the longer the artifact stays lit up for the closer your getting to the source.
Dr Evanzan's lasts for 12 seconds.

By the way, according to a recent article it appears that Dark Matter MAY be interacting with other Dark Matter.
Here's a link to a quite understable piece about this -> https://briankoberlein.com/2015/04/23/the-dark-side/
Other than that I would just like to remind everybody that this current Dark Matter discussion stems from the suggestion about highly theoretical Quark Stars (which in fact, if they exist, might be what we think of as Black Holes) with a relation to Dark Matter, even though this kind of relation quite likely doesn't exist any more than a relation between myself and Dark Matter, or the Sun and Dark Matter, if we want to stay with stellar objects.
We could equally argue whether a drunk person lying on the ground does something. He may not be having much of an effect on his surroundings, but he's certainly breathing, which I think we'll all agree is something rather than nothing. If he's really doing nothing, you may wanna go find a good hiding place.

No, he's right - very long system names, especially those with numbers in (like the auto-gen'd names) take an age to Morse out. Numbers especially because each number is a sequence of 5 dit/dah combinations (or 'greeble'/'gwarble' if you're going for an authentic accent
).If that's then near a planet or, worse still, a moon, it's a lot of designations to get through!

Gee I hope so. I had a sad feeling it may have been a countdown clock for some future date and that as we get closer it lasts longer. That would really suck. But from a dev point of view that's not something new.
Much like a dung beetle does to us?
I'm not sure I follow your point, "Bast" is short, 27 Gamma Cassiopea is "long". 9 seconds vs 24.

Interaction between dark matter particles would likely imply a fundamental force we haven't discovered. That'd be very exciting.
As for the drunk guy, if he's doing nothing because you just ran him over, yeah, you've got problems. But in the context of this argument, lying there dead is doing a whole lot more than dark matter does.

Yeah, true. When you're dead you can't do much, but you certainly can decompose.
Ah ok I see your point now. Thanks
So can we take to longestest named system in the Galaxy and see if it shorts out from noise and signal overload.
By the way can these things be found in solo play?

I was getting *SS right up to the two HR Something Something B class stars right by the Californian.
I suspect that the further out the longer the mean time to appear it is for signal sources
I have no seen any since passing rimwards from the Californian
You can see them quite well in this image from Bitstorm (UA Top.png): https://drive.google.com/folderview...RpMWxPMGxsOXhrUTZzUExXbl9JRmtMVElQLUFYWWhvYms
Those horns look a lot like claws to me. They are not identical. There are at least two different shapes. I don't know which way to split correctly, but FD has used the male/female in a pod previously.
In the 'Deep Space Romeo and Juliet' story from FFE, they were human in alien clothing.
If it's male and female, it's probably not Thargoids. They should be all female. At least those flying about in space.

And block light (and other EM radiation), get in the way of things, etc.

Yes, they can. There is a theory that they might be easier to find in wings but that could be just due to the number of people looking for SSS at the same time.
virtual rep to you thanks for trying.
