You see? You see?!
I said Szyslak22 had a point!
That's why I'm on the not-named systems inside the Nebula, since yesterday
Thanks MB!
Hello Commanders,
I recently made some reserch on the best way to look for the barnacles. My opinion is that they will not spawn in POI bat that they will be persistant ovbjects on the planet.
So i vent to the Orrere ( planet - 2b ) lat 43'0082, log -173,9983 where is the persistant big shipwreck of Anaconda. You can check it on You Tube where ObsidianAnt is talking about it and how to find it. Ok. to the point. It is vissible from around 9 km above but from that distance it has a size of maybe 2 brighter pixels. It's crealry visible from around 4 km above the ground, but to see the detailes You should be around 1,5 km above. When You are flying the cockpit in ASP is makeing it hard to see it. During the night it is almost impossible to see it (I hope the benacles would have those green light). MOST IMPORTENT - IT IS NOT visible during supercriuse even in low hight and in glide mode. The shipwreck itself is invisible to SRV scanner. Only his lost cargo is visible - the same might be the bernacles. Oh and when You are in normal flight mode it is visible in debug mode.
Hope it will help.

Focus remains on merope... the pointing has me convinced too....
Merope 5 moons' orbit is somewhat perpendicular to the orbit of it's parent... None of them seem to eclipse with other bodies.
There must be a portion of each of these moons that always receives light from Merope.
Imagine if the growths themselves point to Merope or away from it.
There would be a region of each of these moons that is permanently bright/dark.
Here is an idea of what I mean... not too good at drawing.

Never tried in a Wing, but if I set my scanner to max range I typically see 2 or 3 POIs at any given time - and have seen as many as 5. It'd actually be easier if there were fewer POIs, once they start overlapping it gets confusing!
Just looking at the comments - could it be that the Barnacles are like a disease, vermin or cancer that has destroyed a civilization that once lived in Merope and the UA's are the remenants/last resort of escaping the destruction (almost like time capsules)? Perhaps the Barnacles move with the nebula? By finding the Barnacles we could be opening Pandora's box.... ..... Someone find it
I've noticed that if I find a crashed nav beacon I can often find a 2nd one fairly close by. I'm starting to wonder if I can find a third to give a triangular area to search in. I'll check next time I'm on. Also the creepy background crunching/grinding noise seems louder to me around the beacons.

That is my main goal to search.
Great timing Mr Brookes. Just as I've inaugurated my new establishment, "Cmdr Gaius' Barnacle Soup Emporium", in Merope 5A. Seemed like a good investment a week ago!
They were permit locked a year ago and now they aren't?
Too bad that area is just as huge as the Plejades but it's still weird. Or not?
Barnacle hunters come to grief when they find something they didn't bargain for!

so many contradictions.
If you're on a budget the Viper Mk IV has good internals, should get all you need in there. Cobra Mk IV as well but not available to all (and I prefer the Viper for planetary stuff anyway).
