Is it just me or does the Pleiades look slightly different... looks like the dark area has been reduced...?

I could just be imagining things... Looking at data for so long *takes off glasses and rubs eyes* >.<
 
Well well well. I managed to escape an appointment with debt and now I have another six months before the hammer falls which could have gone better but once again I implied a process was in progress rather than completed.
Hopefully I am now free to initiate the after burn on the passing of the harbour masters permission slips.

Next stop if I am reading these charts correctly is Synuefe GN-R D5 18

[Edit: changed first line "from escape a an appointment"]

So uhh yeah.. Please be careful at the salvageable wreckage sites at ON-T B3-3 Just had a capital ship Invincible drop into one and instantly obliterate my asp for being too close, after it drops out on top of me -__-.

I bet the few survivors that are found in this new CG will speak about 'something being out there' and a sudden attack or something like that. Enough to keep the Thargoid-fans busy and enough to keep the 'it's all a consipiracy'-people happy. In both cases I bet the price of tinfoil will skyrocket!

Well... The Federal Fleet Command seems to take that "search for survivors" mission serious enough to send The Big Gun to assist. :D

Hey Guys, I've just started barnacle hunting, I don't this has been discussed yet, but I don't believe the symbol on the barnacles is Barnard's loop, I believe it's of the nebula type, the Pleiades nebula is similar in appearance to the symbol, so I've been looking for similar nebulas on the galaxy map, the two closest ones I have found besides Pleiades, is the cave nebula and the lagoon nebula, other nebulas I have found are NGC 1931 Nebula, EOCK PRAU AA-A H31, BOE WNST AA-A H87, DRYOOE PROU AA-A H55, SCHEAU BYOE AA-A H187, PHOI BRE AA-A H8, PHROEA BLUAE AA-A H19, XOTHUIA AA-A H34, XOTHUIA AA-A H95, SCHEAU BYOE AA-A H187. I've noticed a paturn, and it's possible that these nebulas maybe a sort of road map around the galactic core so sorry but theses are not in order. I think I will got to the Cave nebula also but not for a few weeks, I'm waiting for a graphics card :) o7
 
Ooh, this weeks dev update is in:

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=233357

It mentions general changes to signal source spawns so it isn't just a matter of waiting for them any more....

I'm wondering if this will offer any insight into the behaviour of UAs...

lets hope so, Confirmed by MB that not just USS, all signal sources can be scanned before entering. Could be interesting if the SSS of a UA spawn reveals anything.

Also where they will be spawned, what area of the systems. wont be random waiting for a spawn in the 135-150 lyr bubble.
We will have science to do , locations , preferences of the UA etc. we know where to look for them,unless that changes.

I think the "scanning of things that aren't planetary bodies" has a good chance of being worked into UA behavior. In the same way that scanning a nav beacon might reveal system data and points of interest, it's not a big stretch of the imagination that scanning a UA could reveal a POI, barnacle locations, or even a hidden planet half a lightyear away!

True. But my first thought on reading the update was "does this mean UAs are going to be harder to find?" The after-thought was "probably, at least until we crack the code for where to find them again."

Not sure if I got this right, but I believe a system had to have a nav beacon in order to scan the whole system for USS...

We will have a beta to find out, but things may still change when 2.1 goes live.
I recomend having an UA in the hold for the update.

As I unerstood it, you could also use a discovery scanner.

Maybe... My first thought was this was relating to other content such as " the missing" I suspect they put some in already but its tough to find with all the USS out there ... With a scanner it would be easier to determine if its worth dropping into

Edit: and by other content ... Im guessing engineers , and other more easter egg-y kind of things

Yaaaas, Easter Eggs plzzzz. I am dreaming of finding and docking with a derelict Death Star somewhere wayyyyy out there.
 
Parked up for the night after nebula investigating, time off tomorrow with coffee for further investigating, a great screenshot from inside the Fetus nebula. a good few landable places, but not right temp etc. nice shots though. Blue skies,along with beer and sweet dreams, back tomorrow/.

We shouldn't categorically rule out planets based on temperatures!!! Remember the first barnacles were found on planets that hardly anybody investigated because we focused on a hypothetical and unfounded preselection (people were focusing 99% of their efforts on high-G planets because it was somehow 'established' that this is where we were supposed to be looking).

Yes some people were going by what they could see in the trailer, but most of us were just scouring the Merope area, we just wernt finding them.
