If you are not finding it on the FrontPage, that means it's not relevant/pertinent to the tread, so far at least. Tinfoil stocks are bing depleted...

Sooo the meta-alloys are Barnacle poop. That is feasible. Sorry I had to say it.
Probably because everyone wants to be the first to find. And of course, it has been a funny journey. They say that the journey is far more important than destination

Ok, I see. Anyway there was nothing on this planet and i just wanted to share my theory to find that "special place".
At the end the "obvious" reason why a Large Barnacle has been placed somewhere by a Dev is that this place relates to his daughters birthday or his credit card pin-code that he usually forgets.....
I sincerely hope we're not moving towards the UA saga: Extremely 'rare' and then all of a sudden by pure 'chance' wink wink someone stumbles upon one. Now the UA's spawn in front of your nose at a rate of one a minute with absolutely no explanation as to why there are suddenly hundreds of thousands with attendant little or no explanation as to why the UA population has suddenly skyrocketed.
Then again, maybe I don't want the answer to that......... prepares for assimilation .......

I personally welcome our new bio-technological overlords.
I can't access the 172nd page of the thread for some reason. Weird.
In other news, I've been thinking about the comment 'it's logical they are in nebulae'.
This, to me at least, suggests that they need the scattered star matter in the nebula to survive. This combined with the fact that they are associated with Meta-Alloys, says they should be on metal rich bodies.
In metal rich body descriptions on system maps, such as HIP 17862-1 it says the metals are usually found frequently around areas of previous volcanic activity.
From now on for a while, I'll be looking in those lava riverbed like features on metal rich planets.

This is what I wrote this morning before the parrot ruins all the fun: if Barnacles are (also) manually placed, we have only to understand the logic between their placement. UAs was a different story, lead to grind only activities.

He has also said meta-alloys can only be found in Horizons, not vanilla Elite. Planetary landings is what makes horizons different, so it's not unreasonable to infer they would have to be in planets.

Your theory was worth sharing, and worth checking out.
Hi @ all,
i've been watching this thread for a time now and wonder if someone have figured out on what the UV's exactly pointing at...?
Have someone deployed one at an orbit around Merope or on the planet surface?
I read they point to merope, but do they point to a place on the surface or direct to the center....?
Could the uv's be a kind of compass?

Another interesting place to search (didn't found it myself, just saw it on a LP on youtube):
The planet HR 1185 B 3 A in system HR 1185 is the darkest planet i have seen yet, perfect place to hide someting. Pitch black on the night side, and very very dark on the day side..
I would go myself, but still waiting for my experiment to finish (letting a UA blow up my ship while watching in the srv.. takes hours...)

Are these not Meta-Alloys?
They are common material sources. They yield the materials used in synthesis.
They are in no way uncommon, are not barnacles and certainly are not meta-alloys.
Is it possible that Mr. Brooks is under the mistaken assumption that we are in the possession of a not-actually released critical tidbit?

Taken from the 2nd post, should answer the questions you have.

Bronzite is a common mineral, not an alloy of any kind.
Hello folks,
Be nice with me English is not my mother language. Five days looking at these large Barnacles ("Crabs") and madness is coming.
Some people are already aware about what iam going to write here but i see a lot of speculations on this thread.
We should only keep in mind the informations given in the game and by MB. It means 2 things and only 2 at this moment.
1. The description of the Meta-Alloy in game.
2. MB said that the Barnacles from the description 1. can be found in Nebulae, specially the Pleiade.
No more. The game trailer isn't a clue. What is shown inside could be anything else. We know that UA's and Barnacles are linked but UA's are only pointing Merope when there are Barnacles in others Nebulae. Again, no more, we dont know if Barnacles are thargoid or not. Even the nature of UA is still a mystery.
So What the description of Meta-Alloy gives us ?
Organic and metallic;
High melting point and good insulators;
Common (That joke) in certain parts of space;
Associated with Large Barnacles.
And MB said that these aliens can be found in Nebulae. Poi (Rare af) and Ppoi, placed with "logic" by the devs. Ppoi cant be seen from orbit. Everydoby advocate to flight between 5 and 9 km altitude. In supercruise or Not ? I dont know.
Back to the description of Meta-alloy:
Organice and metalic: Nothing to say, pretty obvious. But why people are excluding High metalic content and Rich-Metal Worlds ? I dont know, the assumption that Large Barnacles only love rocky worlds is grounded on what ?
Thermal insulator, What can we say about this ? It keeps the heat inside.
There are 2 mineral thermal insulators : Volcanic rocks (perlite) and rockwool from volcanic activity too. more they are inflammable
Animals and Vegetals produce thermal insulators like fibers and feathers but they are flammable. It doesn't fit to space condition i think.
Next question : Why keep the heat in ? Because Barnacles dont like the sun so they keep the heat from the heart of the planet ? It could explain why ppl are searching in the dark side of the planets. But they are doing it because the trailer shows dark side :/ Maybe there is another explication about this thermal insulator perk
High melting point: What comes in my mind ? High temp' and ??:/ Iam not a physician bois
Common in cetain parts of space: Nice one.
Back to what MB said : Barnacles are in Nebulae, but why ? MB said its obvious. Yeah Nebulae are rich places of organic gas etc.. Yeah it could be that. I think it's just nebulae because it's the only thing u can call "certain parts of space". Parts of space... does it mean something at all ?
Following me we have this :
reliable clues: Volcanism, could be all kind of moons/plants ( High Metal, rocky, icy, metal-rich), in Nebulae.
Some assumptions : in the Dark side (maybe tidally locked), Maybe (very)high temp' worlds. Perhaps it's not the temp' of the worlds that's relevant here but the class of the star ?
Speculations : Only Rocky worlds, fog, barnacles are crabs, 1g Worlds, Whinning about the surface to prospect. If you are a bit scientist u have certainly scout all the systems in the pleiade nebula and you probably have noticed that there are few landable worlds outside the seven sisters, iam too lazy to write my data at this point.
With love and feel free to add me,
Cmdr Saumure.

Well the alloys are their shell. Just like that of corals. Obviously.
If these barnacles are like water organisms the UAs could be their larvae.
Barnacle larvae are settling near old barnacles where they build their typical shell.
So but what if they are not pointing towards Merope? Maybe away from Merope and the UA shell is just the distance they reached since hatching. So maybe we draw a line from Merope through the shell systems to the next nebula and search there.

Here's a little idea...
MB said:
A) We will know when a Large Barnacle is nearby.
B) They are not so large as to be seen from Orbital Cruise
In combination this suggests to me that the barnacles may emit a loud noise, like the UA does.
