UAs, Barnacles and other mysteries Thread 8 - The Canonn

Could the AB be part of the name of the moon, rather than the system name?

No. it can, but for that it will have more than 1 star, aka: suns. one of the clues says 1 sun.

 

[Shed Some Skin]

At the icy moon in AB-W B2-4. Just dropping down to take a look at a crater with a big mound in it at 34 lat. Will report back if I find anything.

[ETA] it's 34/-149 if anyone else wants to check it out.

Be careful with the clue: "I visited a system with 10 bodies and one sun."

It could mean "10 bodies in total, one of them a sun."

It could also mean "10 bodies plus a single sun."

I think the firs one is most plausible, but I'm not sure.

I think the fact that it's in the form "there was 10 X and 1 Y" suggests that the sun was not counted in the 10 bodies. If they used a word like "with" or "including" then the first interpretation would be clearly right, but "and" is much weaker.

NOTE: I just want people to be aware. We are NOT NECESSARILY looking for a POI. Barnacles are not POIs so the chances are this won't be either.

 

[Xenia_K]

I suspect the same thing too.

However, I tend to get a large number in a short period, then none for ages, and the big problem I have is that my uss spawns tend to happen just before I reach a target and are then exhausted for ages afterwards.

Regarding probabilities i found some interesting clues, but want to consolidate before putting a tinfoil hat on.... Still have 4 (or 5?) known systems more to go. Just got my second UP at IR-W D1-55 6 will be interesting if the audios match or if the low speed triplets before the purrs are different. Also can get my 3 EMP recordings for that system too

I still can´t follow this thread. It´s too dynamic.

Well. Looks like this is a matter of time flay here. We have to wait for 2.2 until something magic will happen, right? I mean - From all what I have heard and read during gamescom I thought there will be something revealed on Aug 28th, but it looks like we have to grind and wait for the devs to finish it. Just my opinion though.

While there is a load of new stuff for 2.2, this particular chain can be completed before then. The end point is already in game.

That would mean the moon orbits a planet that orbit a barycentre of 2 stellar object.

That the system has 10 bodies and 1 star seems to rule this out

Darn you, MB, I didn't need more excitement right now

Praise the Beard.

Thank you Michael for letting us know

 

[C4ptainC4ptain]

I think he meant to ask how to buy a Detailed Surface Scanner...

@C4ptainC4ptain -- if a station has it, it'll be in Outfitting, under Optional Internal // Surface Scanners.

I know how to outfit my ship, but thanks nonetheless. The DSS is the reason I made this little detour

At the icy moon in AB-W B2-4. Just dropping down to take a look at a crater with a big mound in it at 34 lat. Will report back if I find anything.

Keep in mind, the latitude was -26. The 34 lat was from the lie.

Crumbs!

And i'm stuck at work...

I wonder how long you have been waiting for someone to stumble across it

Well, just droping my 0.02$ :

not all stellar objects are stars. I my books we could have 1 star, 1 white dwarf and 9 objects. In which case,
AB can be from a barycentric orbit.

(as neutron stars, black holes and white dwarves are not stars, but stellar remnants)

We don't have a long. to we?

 

[Dim Reaper]

Just checked [FONT=&quot]Pleiades Sector ZO-A B2. Thoight the A B might be separate. Only binary stars. Added to spreadsheet.[/FONT]

Oh god dammit. This stuff was not worded well, nobody can decide what's the lie and what isn't. *sigh* shall I move on or is this still worth checking?

I hope you are right, because both candidate systems match the 10 X and 1 Y interpretation.

Alright, wasn't sure... Anyway, if you're looking for specific upgrade this http://inara.cz/galaxy-outfitting can be of a HUGE help. Has search and everything. That entire site is generally made of awesome.

Anyway, sorry for offtopic... now, where are our scouting reports!
