Because the content of TinFoil drowns everything else?
Is there anything else to be drowned out? I thought tinfoil, biscuits and enthusiasm were all we've got?
Because the content of TinFoil drowns everything else?
Got a new semi-theory (gasp, another one!)
But first, on the topic of appearing and dissapearing barnacles based on conditions, i don't think FD can do that with fixed placed objects. Call me Susan if i'm wrong. Spawned stuff, sure, not fixed. It wouldn't be hard to do, i just doubt they have done it.
Back to the theory.
Remember MB had to go and ask someone to check they are there? Why? Well, first of all, it stops MB accidentally giving away anything too specific until it gets to the point where he desparately wants us to know the location so he goes and asks the relevant person. He did say i think that he didn't actually place them.
So, someone was given the task of placing the barnicles. What do you thing their instructions were?
"Right you slimey dev, listen up! I need you to place a few dozen of these things around the galaxy. Put around half a dozen in the Plieades, we definitely want some there, and scatter the rest around other nebulae. Got that? They must be in nebulae. But I might have to let those dim witted players have a clue or two, so don't place them in too obvious locations, like at the north pole of a planet in a named system. Yeah, actually, might be best to avoid named systems alltogether, far too easy that way. Got to make those lazy players work!"
Ok, maybe my imagination isn't doing a good job of imitating MB, but you get the idea.
Dev goes off and places them in places where they know, but not anywhere where someone is simply going to stumble across it easily in any sort of search.
MB said if you are in the right location you will spot it, and from the vid, its not something too small. Its going to be visible from the air at least for a few km.
So, my suggestion is, considering all the efforts we have put into roving around the seven sisters, and since MB has practically stated there is more than one in the Pl. neb. Its perhaps time for us to spread out wings, and get flying above planets in the other systems around the pl-neb.
Well, we've got Matt Duamon.Is there anything else to be drowned out? I thought tinfoil, biscuits and enthusiasm were all we've got?
But the fact that these barnacles can be found in other nebulae, that more than one location has been hand placed, etc. proves that the UAs are not pointing at Merope because of the barnacles. The barnacles are another clue in the big puzzle, not the end of the puzzle. There is still no logical reason to focus the barnacle search in Merope. Every landable planet in the Pleiades has just as much chance of containing the hand placed fixed POI as the planets in Merope, and Merope has already been searched the most.Quite a few people continue to believe that the TinFoil is strong with Merope.
It's a system that's actually being pointed to!
So - I propose, unless you (i.e. each individual CMDR) have a better idea that you're married to - that we all focus on Merope. Let's get every single one of the moons surveyed around the clock?
Aerial surveys for interesting features and surface surveys at the same time.
Basically - if you're looking for a planet, pick one in Merope.
Not an attempt at an order (I know I have no actual power!) - just a suggestion.
Edit - Sole Hunter's post wasn't there when I started writing
I've been on 1A and 1D recently. Heading somewhere else tonight though. The one that's yellow in the system map, I think that one will be my home tonight.

It's time to get out your TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space) See? I remembered all the letters!Wow, a day or two away and 130 odd pages!
Expected to see more comanders when i got back in game earlier, are you guys in open, or using a group like Mobius etc?
Anyway, i've had my Government advised 3 days on the wagon, so I'll be joining you in game with a single malt or two later.
Keep going CMDRs, only a matter of time.... although that is relative!
Back to the grind.
It's time to get out your TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space) See? I remembered all the letters!i
also i found a medical convoy inside one of the Pleiades systems. medical python guarded by THREE vultures. i didn't have a cargo scanner so i have no idea what it was carrying that was so important. but i followed it for a bit and then it high waked out to another system.
im on merope 1 b and after being killed by turrets i came back so persistant poi. 4 guardian sentry with heat seeking missiles, 4 turrets and two buildings marked CRP contact point oh yes and private data link, buildings with new shape that i have nt seen before. also last night near here i found t7 crash site which i posted.
this site -44.6159 and 143.2644 if anybody wants a look. loads of poi sites showing up from 20km up.
Those are quite common
Has anybody seen such a pattern before? Not sure if it's a graphical artefact, although this would be my first with 1000+ hours of playtime.
If you land on it, it's quite greenish. Oh, btw: Pleiades Sector GW-W C1-15, Planet #5, 1.02 G.
Would be grateful if anybody could confirm.

Sad to have to think of what the devs were thinking when placing the POI instead of following some interesting ingame lore...
