In the "centre" of the Hind Nebula is the T Tauri system it has 3 moons and an asteroid belt. Hope you find something there!

you will find a wonderful beautiful view.

i visited that system various times and is a very nice one.

p.s. congratulations for the witch head nebula discovery.

Taking a little longer to get there than I thought. I somehow didn't realize the entire COL 70 SECTOR is permit locked. Have to manually plot around it.

Tell me about it. I am currently using the route plotter of EDDiscovery for the rough route, then the in-game plotter to follow that. No idea if I can make it through the permit minefield, but since I have EDSM upload enabled, the data will be available to others for their attempts. Especially since I am using economical routing.
 
Evening all, some good work going on out there i see.

So this parasite report from Sol and Achenar are they player submitted?
If not don't they say that Thargoids are insects, insects have Larvae and they are sometimes parasites.
Just thought i would throw that one out there.


Engage lurk mode.

I have a hunch regarding the Unknown Probes: if they are related to the UAs and use similar technology, then perhaps they also have auto-repair systems that will damage ships that carry them. We may need corrosion-resistant cargo racks to transport them from wherever we find them. If this hunch is right, they might be found in more distant locations than the UAs have been (i.e. not in convoys in the bubble or near the Pleiades). I got the invite for Palin today and have put a CRCR on my Courier (you don't need to give him his quota of Unknown Fragments to buy the racks, thankfully - I couldn't find a single one after over an hour searching for UAs in the shell!). My Asp Explorer is getting one tomorrow.

P.S. For those looking to head out to the Witch Head Nebula and having trouble getting a route there because of the permit-locked Col 70 Sector, I suggest plotting a route to HIP 23058. That system is at one end of the 'tunnel' of systems leading in to the nebula (but be a bit careful because the primary and secondary stars are quite close together).
 
Here is a pic of the triangle, with Hind in the middle.

As you can see, it is very symetrical. It could probably be perfect with some other systems.

Seems pretty random to me. Does the "arrow" point to anything? (The one roughly towards the bubble.)
 


Im not really happy about this, I have been driving around witchhead for over a week, looking at my scanner the whole time.

To make this worse this isnt the first time this has happened either. When the trailer with the barnacles first dropped all of us were in Pleiades and were crashing on a POI for like 2 days, then there was a serverhotfix and bam random Frenchmen randomly finds a Barnacle on the very same planet where we were crashing.

Now this, I choose to not go to the California neb and figured i would search elsewhere and i chose the Witchhead. I could have driven right past it, stuff like this really kills me.

Good job Chaos.


+1 to this. My search technique in Soul Nebula was to park in the middle of canyon areas, get out in the SRV and look for wave signatures. I'm hoping this was just a bug, if not, the needle just got smaller and the haystack bigger :/
 
Oh.
If anyone wants me I shall be busy digging with my (hopefully) trusty (and soon to be purchased) shovel out in an undisclosed system on an undisclosed planetary body in the general region of Beagle Point.

[RP mode off]

So we don't care about UAs anymore then huh?

I do, I'm focused on the UAs.
 
The gasses in nebulae are extremely sparse though. The only HII region in the relevant nebulae is the California Nebula, which should be slightly more dense. For the others, they have a density of 100-10000 particles per cm^3 (compare to the density of air at 10^19 particles per cm^3). If they were living off the gases found in nebulae, they should have larger surface areas in order to intake any significant amount.

they are called barnacles, might as well being the reason they have roots? then it is the body, not the atmosphere. however, their are also found in non volcanic planets.. they could get more from the atmosphere through the geisers than the nebula dust.

so nebulae, either lighting, or the lack of it? or the lack of. anything that the nebula dust prevents from reaching the barnacle?

Hind is slightly 'abow' the plan of the 3 others.

sorry to ask rather than draw it out myself, but if you've still got the bits to hand how does that match with struve's lost sector? the nebula itself is lost between stars, or appears to be at least but it's inclusion is rather odd since people don't really think it's there.

Sorry. I'm on phone only now, but it takes 3min to draw it in ed-map.eu
