Michael Brookes said: It looks like we've figured out what's causing barnacles (and other surface goodies) not appearing consistently and there should be an update with this fix early next week.

Michael Brookes said: I'm afraid not - the nebula that they can be found in relates to their origin and I can't talk about that.

Michael Brookes said: One of the POIs appears to be a bit crashy, but it's not the barnacle - not that we've seen from the crash reports so far at any rate.

Michael Brookes said: You are guaranteed to find them if you are in the right location.

Michael Brookes said: True - although I know for certain that there are some placed in that nebula.

Michael Brookes said: I did indeed say they are exceedingly rare - much rarer than UAs. ALthough unlike the UAs there are some that have been physically placed by us, although they are generated in certain areas of space.

Michael Brookes said: Well written helps, not contradicting the fiction is also required and sometimes the story just doesn't fit.









I'm not going to comment on specific stories.

Michael Brookes said: Would you be interested in knowing a region of space that is likely to contain barnacles?









Michael Click to expand...

Michael Brookes said: Not really, some are randomly generated, but others have been specifically placed to be found.

22/06/2016 3:02 PMAbout Jaques Station vanishing:08/02/2016 5:18 PMQ:27/01/2016 6:57 PM22/01/2016 10:28 AMQ:19/01/2016 12:46 PM13/01/2016 7:16 PM14/01/2016 6:31 PMQ:Now that one has been found, can you be a little more candid with your responses?What other nebulae are they found in? And is Lagoon nebula one of those nebulae?12/01/2016 5:51 PMQ: Maybe could this mean that they only spawn when you're in a SRV? If that person who said they found one and died on Pleione 6 is telling the trust.12/01/2016 10:46 AM12/01/2016 5:12 PMQ: 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.11/01/2015 6:09 PMQ: When you say "placed", do you mean that if you show up in that particular place you are 100% sure to see one, or is there still a random element to whether it will actually appear or not when you arrive?11/01/2015 4:31 PMQ: Mike already hinted at plural in an earlier post. Its not specifically Seven Sisters.11/01/2015 3:39 PMQ: Yeah, he did actually say meta-alloys were "exceedingly rare" towards the end of the last thread. People then started pointing out how similar his wording was to a post he made when UAs were first introduced.11/01/2015 1:38 PMQ:What if that was a barnacle, but there was just nothing interesting about it? Maybe we've found what we were looking for this whole time and it was so underwhelming we just ignored it and kept looking?08/01/2016, 10:59 AMQ: MB also said that Barnacles are randomly found although some have been placed in certain systems.07/01/2016, 6:41 PMQ: @MB Question, say that if the Explorers on the PC find these 'Barnacles' and said Barnacles have a certain effect on the Galaxy/ED itself.Will that effect transfer to the connected universe on Xbox?07/01/2016, 6:26 PMQ: @MB as your about at the mo could you clear something up for me please.When a player submits a Galnet post what is the criteria for getting one on.does it have to be just well written or does it have to be something that will not take us in the wrong direction? or both?07/01/2016, 6:08 PMQ: I would focus search on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celaeno - Note Cuthulu. MB is rather fond of Lovecraft's works.....07/01/2016, 4:15 PMQ: Does it make a differance whether one looks in Open, Private Group, or Solo modes?07/01/2016, 2:58 PMQ: Barnacles grow on rocks, so have you tried planetary rings and asteroid belts? In particular around planets with no atmosphere?07/01/2016, 1:11 PMQ: Thanks Michael, we appreciate narrowing the search.I think for the purposes of continuity and those who don't follow the forums it'd be useful if this snippet of info was revealed in game through a Galnet article.07/01/2016, 12:08 PM07/01/2016, 11:58 AM05/01/2016, 6:15 PMQ: Soo, does this mean we don't need the mission to find them?Or any other special requirements (like an UA in the cargohold)?05/01/2016, 5:30 PMQ: Unfortunately the article on galnet was written by a player so it still most likely is just lazy POI placement.05/01/2016, 3:48 PMQ: Which released version though? Vanilla or Horizons.05/01/2016, 10:31 AMCanonn 4 - Meta-alloys05/01/2016, 10:39 AM04/01/2016, 1:53 PMQ: FD - Are Meta-Alloys bugged?
