And only once per instance.

And for a new instance to form you of course have to make sure all leave.

The OP said he was in Mobius

Yeah, I honestly really doubt FD has the ability or the interest to lock this into just one mode.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

No worries! The event works in ANY mode!
Solo/Private group (any size)/Open

When it happens is hard to tell.. Some people say once every 8 hours, but I've experienced it twice within 10..15 min.

Important! When you arrive, DO LAND ASAP!
Why? Because of you're still flying when the event occurs, your ship's systems will shutdown and you risk crashing and being destroyed !
You're there to see an alien ship, not your rebuy screen, right? ;)

I spent most of the day there and the difference between Mobius and Open was plain to see. Everyone was messing around, wizzing around, crashing into stuff, joking with each other but never any malice or ganking or trolling.

What amazed me though was that at one point in the early evening when the barnacle site was a basically a ruin. I suggested we all switch instances and then return so that the barnacles and their spikes might be regenerated and perhaps increase our chance of an encounter. I thought to myself there is no chance that is going to happen amongst such a disorganized group. But that is exactly what did happen!

Meanwhile, from what people who had tried it had said, Open was a waste land of trolling and ganking. When I switched to open I was warned not to leave my ship. Nothing could highlight the difference between the two any more.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

I spent probably 8 hours at the barnacle site today and although I didn't get to see the alien encounter it was the most fun I've had playing this game in ages. Just talking to people and messing around in the SRV, it felt like a proper MMO for once.

Good advice, thank you for that. I really want to go see something like this for myself.
