I keep seeing people running themselves into a hole labeled "high g worlds only" with literally just the trailer as a basis for it. The trailers in the past have always used a whole lot of artistic license. There is absolutely no basis to this "high g tidally locked planet" business people are going on about.
If only there were some sort of clue in game about where to look... oh... wait... THERE IS!
SEARCH IN MEROPE!

Done bunny-hopping from POI to POI for tonight...
So far, nothing except the standard POI spam - small wrecks, countless Cargo stashes and many Data Links. Everywhere.
At times I felt like POIs were more frequent than Bronzite Chondrites.
I have to admit : I hated the spammy POIs before I went into the Pleiades. Now I hate them even more

I wouldn't say absolutely no basis for the high G thing, given the trailer could have been showing someone visiting a static alien site.
Tidally locked is much more tenuous.
*throws rep at screen*
mysteriously there are no high g worlds, and none are tidally locked to the sun!
Except that there is a high degree of sense in a life form creating a super strong skeletal structure like the meta alloys to survive in a high g environment. Creatures that live in weightless environments don't need strong skeletons, or skeletons at all. Whether they are created as part of some biological entity (skeleton) or manufactured by them, they would be ideally suited for high g worlds.
I feel I should remind everyone that this clue pertains specifically to the UA's. There is no proof yet that the UA's are connected to the meta-alloys or barnacles. I'm not saying we shouldn't search in Merope, just understand that if anything does come of it, it will pertain to the UA's specifically. If you don't believe that there is a connection, it's illogical to search in Merope.
It has been shown to be in a place far far away from Pleiades by people hunting that planet based on the skybox. Also the key word is *Could*, limiting your search and outright excluding Merope based on it doesn't seem like a good idea. I'm pretty sure the Wings trailer with the UA showed it being picked up in the California nebula did it not? (I could be wrong, but that's what I remember) and we certainly never found any UA's there.

If the UA's and the Barnacles are unrelated now that we know the Barnacles are in the Pleiades I'll eat my own hat.
Still just as likely that the barnacles can be anywhere in the Pleiades. Finding them will advance the story line, as will research from Palin. Information that will help demonstrate why the UAs are pointing at Merope.
There isn't any reason to limit the search to the one system in the Pleiades that has probably been searched the most thoroughly since Horizons was released.
On looking at it all closer, there is nothing to suggest tidally locked, other than the trailer scene is dark, could easily just be night time. High G is strong evidence though, and either at the base of a mountain or in a canyon, since there is no background stars in the trailer scene.
Is this normal?
The signals were sentries (whatever they are called, the flying drones), and seemed to flit about with no rhyme or reason. I had just recalled my ship; maybe that stirred them up? I tried to chase them but that crashed me into the ground and I had to limp back to Obsidian Orbital for some repairs.

As far as I know, MB said it COULD be in Merope.. All I've been reading here so far is theories based on assumptions outside of ''It's in the Pleiades''.
We could find something in Atlas or any other surrounding system just as much.

What solar system was this in ?
if you spawn the sentries and them came back to your ship withouth killing them, or leaving materials on the grounds , it is...
Thargoid ships are roughly barnacle shaped. The screenie from the trailor shows the edge of what looks like a barnacle shaped thing. It would explain a lot of things, he may well be right.
As far as I am aware I killed any sentries I spawned before going into my ship. I did leave some crappy mats around tho. You're not saying that spawns sentries?
It's not like it's definitely only in Merope, but it's also not like it genuinely only on high G worlds. The point that is important here is that if we limit ourselves to one of these ways of thinking we might NEVER find it because it might just happen to be that none of these planets contain Barnacles.
There's just as much evidence to say that because the UA's point at merope and all the moons of merope have roughly the same environment, Barnacles like rocky worlds with between 0.1-0.2g's as there is to say that Barnacles are only going to be found in high G worlds.
That is to say that they are near-baseless assumptions and nothing more and shouldn't be taken as fact.
You are absolutely right, and I was right there with you... until recently.
I mean, we've been wondering why the UAs point at Merope for months. Being cautious science-folk we didn't want to conflate the UA and the barnacle mysteries (although judging by the thread title that's pretty much out the window, isn't it?) Now, MB comes in here and points us to a nebula associated with Merope where these UAs having been pointing all along. It seems pretty obvious to me that Merope is where they expected us to look. Now, obviousness isn't evidence, but we could rule the Merope out with a large concerted effort over about a week or so. That's all I'm trying to build support for. Heck, I can't even participate. And, if you think the answers lie elsewhere then good on you. I hope you find a barnacle first. First biscuit and whiskey on me.
