Just wondering, what are the approximate odds of finding a Barnacle that's not in the Pleiades?
Hitting DW WP 18 today and I've been making an effort to poke around any low G planets in nebula areas, but so far...zilch.
Yet, and here's the rather fascinating factoid, I have managed on several occasions, to stumble upon a ship/buggy wreck where there's a canister still moving (eg rolling down the hill). Since there was no-one on sensors and no flash of light to indicate an extremely recent 'expiration', I can only conclude that the the canister was precariously perched and the rumbling of my SRV transmitted sufficient vibrations to dislodge it.
Were this to occur once or twice in a lifetime I'd be amazed - but I must have counted at least half a dozen. Yet whatever the odds are for that, they're still substantially below that of finding barnacles it would seem.
