Yes, there was but said the data was encrypted and as I'd not had any of the Tip-off missions, it returned no info on the scan.

Yesterday I reluctantly, once again, turned to Barnacle harvesting to try and find Yttrium. After visiting five Barnacles, and harvesting two, I still found myself without Yttrium. I do now however have a nice packet of Barnacle data.
Question: does anyone know if you can use the Barnacle data to gain reputation with Engineers, if you sell the data at their facilities?

Now that is strange, an it look way to clear to have been a graphical glitch.
We need UP orbital testing ASAP.

An what do you do when you find a anomaly, you use probes to explore it. You need to be in orbit of a planet to be affected by it gravity. More hints for orbital testing of the UP.
With all this talk about crashed Alien ships, a couple of weeks ago I came across a crash site that I have never seen before. I dug through my screenshots to find it and I did. I have many hours on Planets and I think I seen every kind of crash site but this is the only one like this that I have ever seen, which is why I probably took a shot of it. I only have one shot of it as well. If it is insignificant sorry. http://imgur.com/899qHPB
Had a similar one that yielded another data type though. The wave scanner signature got me all excited and I could see the blinking red light of the data core from afar - thought it was some alien stuff :/
Were you the CMDR on reddit who posted it? I had no data core when I went to the T9.

Or.. More hints to find a free floating UP. We can orbit test all we want. But I dont think this message was put in the game just to tell us to test the UP somewhere in orbit once we find it. I think it was meant to lead us to a UP or some other anomaly.
I hope you don't mind me cross posting this article here.
Now that Utopia's Maia experiment has concluded, many of us are keen to help out and get more involved in Canonn's adventures.

Freelance Report: The Silent Arbiter
15 JUL 3302
As Utopia completes its mission in the Maia system, senior Utopian figures have voiced alarm at the deteriorating situation between the Federation and the Empire over the barnacles. One member of the commune said:
"We are surrounded by a galactic mystery. Recent events indicate that humanity may not be alone in the universe."
"Some believe we are being stalked by monsters. Others think we will soon encounter a higher intelligence. We must be optimistic, and meet the future – whatever it may hold – with a collective voice."
"I believe humanity is being watched, its actions noted. Soon, we will be judged. Our survival depends on the decisions we make right now. We must not, and cannot, fight among ourselves."

Just another cmdr/NPC jumping out? I was there earlier could have been me lol.
NPC dialogue has a long history of being total hogwash.
If it because the script writers dont actually know what is going on in detail, or if the NPCs are supposed to not know exactly what is going on, I really dont know.
Either way, do NOT take NPC script either in mission text, or local dialogue as gospel.

If this is true it is safe to say explorers are less likely to get these tip off missions, which is a questionable design decision.
The only thing that I take as gospel in ED, is what Lord Zoltan says.
The title is prefixed 'freelance report', so it is player-submitted: https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57860e6e9657ba2a39588b5a
Indeed it was our very own Nicholas Powell: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-Submissions?p=4220549&viewfull=1#post4220549
Edit: and particularly nicely written it is, too
doh, didn't read the title!!
Yes, nicely written Cmdr Powell!
edit:I suppose since it has been published in Galnet then FD are tacitly agreeing these are valid criteria for barney searching? With no outliers??

While this has been very true, I would say that this attitude could also make us miss things. Dont take them as gospel. But dont dismiss them either. Investigate every lead to the best of your ability. In the case of the galnet I posted, we pretty much never get an actual dev galnet. So they are very important in my mind. Even if they may be innacurate, they are there for a reason.

I've been one end of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen dozens of those. So nothing special.
I've just finished ranking up from Marquis to Duke, probably 500 missions. I just checked my inbox and had 3 "Tip Off" messages. I don't normally check as you get inundated with mission update messages and I regularly just clear them out without looking at them.
All three locations are already on the list posted in this thread.
not sure, if they have contacts then it might be possible
otherwise the Canonn Institute would be happy to take your data

All we can say is that FD is agreeing that it is someone's opinion that these are valid criteria.
Galnet is not the voice of FD. Galnet is the voice of the characters - characters who may be wrong, have incomplete data, intentionally misleading people, or all sorts of things.
we've had wrong info published before

Yeah, the only thing I guess that's guaranteed not to be published about the barnacles and artefacts is something which accurately foreshadows future plans - unless, perhaps it's done artistically as pure opinion, like the Lizard people stuff.
I had a story rejected around Arc's death threats and the curious little sect known as the Penitents of Remor Veld which ended up having elements similar to a story about Palin.
Can't win 'em all
[zZzZz] anything intersting happening lately? been off elite for about 2 days now. Taking a break. It seems this thread has spiked in activeness. Anything interesting happen? There is this I found out about... from the news letter.
