pleiadese sector IH-V C2-15 is also an empty triple star system ,
as you can see guys im focusing on the pleiadese sector systems to see which ones have what , so keep these systems in mind so we can filter as many of them as possible

also thanks to the work done i now can theorize that we should be searching on 1.95 g planets only ( just as an experiment )
 
Why create a complex thruster sys, then place a "teaser" and just make it staged... there's no point, this is a hint, and this can narrow down the search to about 10% of the planets!
Depends on whether it's been rendered in-game or not. If that trailer shot has been done in using some external software like Maya the SRV rig may not have the same dynamics unless they have specifically replicated them.

That being said, there's nothing wrong with making an initial assumption that and reduce the search area. If you get no results you can always widen your search later.
 
Time for me to add some more info:

MB confirmed that these are randomly spawned, however some have been placed in static locations on certain planets. MB has confirmed this.

Crashed ships like Anacondas are also static, and do NOT trigger your scanner for a POI, however they CAN be seen from a significant distance.

This would lead me to believe that those that have been placed, will not trigger the POI indicator, and you will in fact be able to / have to see them while flying around.

When I get back to human space, I will drop my Anaconda for my clipper for it's non-SC flight speed and good cockpit view.

thanks but credits go to the CMDR in the previous thread
In case you were referring to me, thank you.

Thank you as well for testing all the different environments including pictures. According to my tests (sry, no pics), the trailer planet should have 1.05-1.10g.

I believe in the high gravity compensation as well as the low gravity one. However, thruster tilt seems really sensitive, like full tilt range from 0.75-1.25g.

So far, no planet in the above 1.05-1.10g range have been reported in the Nebula.
 
Does anyone have any idea how large these Barnacles are? I'm guessing we are assuming two things; 1) They are quite large. 2) They have lights.

I recently went searching for the crashed Anaconda in Orrere, and despite having the co-ordinates of 43, -173 this was still not enough to locate the wreck (although it was night time). That said in day time the Anaconda can be seen from quite a distance.

If the only way to find these is by eyeball, it could well take a long time. The Anaconda is crashed in a sort of half valley / crater. Not sure if that helps with the Barnacles, after all we don't know if they are buildings or ships yet do we?
 
+1 G

TL =Tidaly locked

Atlas : none

Electra:

1 - no data
2 - 1.35 TL
3 - 1.16 TL

Maia

A 7 - 1.96 TL

these are the ones that i know ... if someone can place it on the sheet
 
OK just putting this out there as I'm seeing a lot of literal usage of this description of 'barnacles'. Which in my opinion may be throwing some off track. In my humble and still unproven belief is this is simply a layman's description for a Thargoid ship design, this is a trope many pilots use to describe unknown objects seen during flight e.g. Foo Fighters.

I've been searching Merope on this hunch and that we (until proven otherwise) could be looking for crashed old Thargoid ships, some place in the nebula. Meta-alloys could well be what they are made of - or an off shoot?

I'm now of the paranoid belief the UAs were sent to locate these and possibly we should tread carefully and not rush in to marry them together let we awaken something before adequate science and or diplomacy is applied.

Let's not over complicate things now. It may be as simple as finding it in the nebulae and not in any specific system.

I think people are reading way too far in to the G's on the planet in the Horizons Trailer. I wouldn't exclude planets with less than 1g just because of that.

Well hello there Mr.Ant! I'd say the station with your namesake has been our savior of late. Yes I think we have come to the conclusion it will take a long time, Hopefully they glow, and hopefully they are large (I mean they are described as "Large Barnacles") but I still feel something has been missed to narrow down their location, the UA's have something left to tell us I'd bet, it's just figuring out what that is the hard bit.
 
Pleione 6 has 1.25G ... following the wheel thruster logic, the angle of the thruster indicates that the gravity of the Traielr's planet is 1~1,5 G .

Anyone with more planets in that range ?
