A part from searching randomly on every planet that, at the moment, is all we can do with the clues MB told us, there is a fact that emerge from all this stuff:
The only manually surface placed structure currently known on Pleiades is Poulov Keep on MAIA B1D; what's the reason for this? A camp without ports in the middle of nowhere... why? For sure it was manually placed. I can't stop thinking that must be some relation with all MB post in these last days.

It actually doesn't have ports, it's just like any other POI outpost, only marked on the map. Not even sure what the point is of marking it is really.

Could it be a clue? Maybe. Not a very obvious one though :p

what should be on 34 118?
and on what planet?

Coordinates for the Staples Center IRL. The guy I've been replying to posted something about it earlier, but now he has his own coordinates wrong and can't admit it :p

Right, but at the moment this is the only known not random generated POI on Pleiades.
It is not the keep itself to be interesting, it is the planet wher FD choose to place it that could be a clue.

Yeah, I know. That's literally exactly what I said :p

The coords for the Staples Center are 34 N and 118 W. West is negative AFAIK. That's why I'm searching on +34.xxxx -118.xxxx.

I agree: 118 W is -118
But what should be this StaplesCenter?

what the f..ck lead you to search a place referring to something really placed on Earth??????

My story of UAs pointing to barnacles fits all the known in-game and out of game facts if you assume that:

1. There is a barnacle in the Merope system
2. Barnacles spawn UAs
3. The barnacle in Merope was the first to spawn them (i.e. there are other barnacles but they have not yet spawned UAs).
4. UAs point to the main star in the system of the barnacle that spawned them.

That's a lot of assumptions there. The only thing we have a good reason to suspect is 1. The others? No indicator for that.

Lol I was wondering what that was all about :D

That message about the Thursday night's game, was a LA Kings vs Blue Jackets on Staples Center, LA, on november 5th of 2015. That's where I got the coordinates.

I said I was calling the day, but I'm calling sick day :p

I was hoping, as I have every morning over the past couple of weeks that things may have moved on overnight but alas no.

Spent what must be days of gaming time following hunches and seeing some pretty nice scenery along the way. Frustration, wonder, anticipation all rolled into one....its an exhausting mix of emotion at times!

At times I can't help feeling we are searching before FD are ready, Im sure they have more clues or even game content that have not been rolled out yet, does this make the task today impossible? Whilst it may feel that way Im confident MB would not be encouraging us with clues if it were not feasible.

So stay strong commanders, we can do this!

Maybe the Canonn should put out a call on Galnet, asking for some on the (NPC) pilots who have seen these things to come forward with a LITTLE more detail. For example, knowing we can spot them from orbit, or need to be in flight or lower, or knowing if they show in an SRV's scanners would be huge. It's a little silly we don't even know HOW to look.
Click to expand...
I second this, because as far as I gathered has no one actually seen any of these barnacle things, yet the description of the Meta Alloys speaks explicitly of them, so SOMEONE must know what they look like, otherwise why call them that?
So I'd like atleast a description from that one who wrote that description what these things look like :p
Though I'd be more interested in a size estimation, like if that thing is larger than a Corvette or Conda then we wouldn't need the scanners to find the things which could already speed things up.

Could there be a reason we're finding so much Tea (and Animal Meat - as opposed to what kind?!?) Are we assuming that the barnacles are going to be inert? Perhaps they are/were active and had a fondness for tea. Or animal meat. And attacked anything carrying them - hence the surfeit of wrecks containing these. (Maybe that's what MB's comments meant about the barnacles when he said you'll know when you see them..) Maybe we follow the wrecks to find the barnacles. Maybe we just carry lots of tea and animal meat and they'll find us?

It's been a while since I posted a wacky theory.. there was a grave danger of people starting to take me seriously.

Yeah, Tea is the 2nd most ran into cargo for me, #1 of course is gold, there's so much gold laying around on planets that you could start wondering why it's even still worth something : / and who KEEPS leaving it there making sure some crappy drones guard it (not that efficiently if I may note).
Maybe the barnacles are actually way smarter than us, they spread the gold all over the places so we are distracted and overlook other things.

Heh, there's a new theory: gather the coords of all gold you run into and look for patterns xD

Not gonna complain about the gold though, Asp holds 64t even in exploration load out so I make around half a million when I take a short maintenance trip to Maia.


Edit: I forgot another theory that sprung from the one mentioning that the tea and meat is attracting the barnacle thingies and made them attack the carriers of said food: what if we would rather not like to find them? As in think about how skimmers mysteriously lie in wait in the ground until we come close, now what if such a barnacle does the same until a ship with food comes along and then *gulp* ship gone : /

Alternatively, Thargoids with a sense of humour:

1 - Intrepid explorer stumbles on Barnacle.

2 - Said explorer gets summarily assimilated.

3 - Body-count piles up.

4 - Thargoid necessitated to jettison waste/by-products, hence cannisters of liquids and solids.

5 - Vicious cycle continues

I feel like blowing up stuff in the name off science. Maybe the Barnies are below the future remains of Pavlou? How about we blow that base up? Small group with armed vessels should be able to. The one mining laser on my ASP just won't do it...

So, I was thinking about the whole "thursday nights' game" thing.

Here are my conclusions and possibilities:

PR5 = Planet Rock 5
Row 2 = Moon 2
Seats 5 e 6 = coords in radians, converting to degrees:
5 rads = 286.479 degrees
6 rads = 343.775 degrees

Check these coords in every planet/moon.

Update:
Also, thursday night could be some kind of tide, an ideal time to spot then... at night, which doesn't mean the planet/moon is tidally locked.
Click to expand...

Checked. No planets with those coordinates in this dimention. :)

Well, I'm back in Hudson space until Thursday. The needle is somewhere, but it would be nice to know which haystack to check.

Maybe MB could give us another nudge, at least help us figure out where we could get more info from. :/
