Just a heads up, it is against the forum rules to name and shame.
UAs, Barnacles & More Thread 5 - The Canonn

I didn't check Orion, but I've had a look through the California Nebula a couple of days ago. Obviously didn't find anything though.
I'm beginning to think that the randomly spawned barnacles are going to be linked to the heavily defended 'contact points'. Contact being the operative word, and maybe a chance encounter that one of these somewhere down the line will also spawn what we're looking for. Kind of like finding a random UA in a SSS. I'm also wondering if the intel packages that are taken from such sites (the heavily guarded ones), might form a basis for narrowing the search down at some point along the way. Anyone have any thoughts?
(...) And to those asking why nebulae - it's quite logical if you think about it". And I ask myself: Why is this so logical????!?!?
Something to do with ammonia in nebulae ?
Done some fact checking, Orion is an emission nebula, so again a different kind from Pleiades and Bernards Loop.
I think a CMDR calling for help against another CMDR is fine - isn't it ? No shaming from the OP.
There are factions out there for who will do anything to delay or halt the investigation into a potential alien presence in our galaxy.
Who knows, we may all be falling into a trap. Who is the REAL power being Canonn Science? Is the FDL the good guy?

Right, I am out. Time to head out for the DWE.
Good luck hunting, I will be passing through many many Nebulae on my journey, and I fully intend on searching the hell out of them. I just hope I am not the first one to find anything, you dont want to travel 100,000ly to pick some up.
I may still drop in to add some logic to the tin-foil-hat brigade, but logic hasn't helped us so far.

No, The Canonn are the State Issued Good Guys, failure to conform to this system of belief will result in Opinion Reconstruction Therapy.
I wonder if the Barnacles are meta-alloy mining/production facilities rather than live entities.
They get the metal they need from the ground and additional elements from the nebula. So not alive at all.
Of course that does sever the link to the UA somewhat. That would make them prospectors maybe, that decompose metal in their surroundings on the hunt for suitable locations.
Probably lots of holes in this theory, but worth thinking through.

Have a nice trip out there, CMDR!
And, if you find some weird looking Alien, please, "send him my regards".
Enjoy the trip, fly safe, and send postcards.

Or opinion elimination therapy. Hard to have an opinion when you're dead
Whoever put them around the galaxy could be using these as mining facilities to create the materials to make the UAs. I'm still not certain they're related though. We still don't know the purpose of the UAs. Only then can we determine a link.
Lots of weirdness about UAs themselves. For starters they seem to be under control as their behaviour changed over time so they aren't Fire and Forget devices. Morse for the system they're in, scanning ships and transmitting the result in morse, and whatever they're doing now.

Ok so i've been browsing back over past clues and posts. This post stood out to me
What we know:
• We all know there are manually placed barnacles and rng barnacles.
• We also know the game uses heavy use of procedural generation.
Ok so as someone who's played countless hours of Minecraft and working with spawn farms, it's just a matter of finding the correct spawn conditions (for the rng poi's). From his post it sounds like when you get that magic formula correct, bam you will get spawns. We need to make a spreadsheet with details on every failed planet (planet composition, gravity, tides, temp, size, poles searched, equator searched, etc.). That way we can start narrowing down what conditions we've already searched. So if you jump into a system and find a planet and it has the same qualities of an already failed search, you can move on to something different.

I've read it, but it's hard to reply always to the same questions...
Did you read the FrontPage? There are STRONG reasons why we are searching in the Pleiades Nebula, first.
It's the only place where we are sure some Barnacles have been manually placed by FD. Searching other nebulas will leave you with the RNG generated only.
That said, some are already being scoured however.
@Rizal....
Can you please put up a Front page request for information on high gravity worlds in or nearby the Pleiades Nebula?
A "Barnacle" shape is perfect for high gravity environments. Doing so should vastly limit the candidates for exploration.
I strongly believe that this is the most obvious clue to their whereabouts that we have.
Their shape!
So far the highest I have found so far is HR 1185 A4 @ 4.12G

Good Luck Cmdr! look forward to hearing of all the lovely finds the DWE make! o7
I'll hopefully get to join you guys once the Canonn faction has managed to expand and I wait for the cooldown
The mission to find meta-alloys says they're associated with the 'alien entities' known as Large Barnacles. Primitive alien life is common in the ED universe, so that's not surprising on its own, and probably why it's so casually mentioned in the mission description. The question is, are they simple plant-like creatures that give us a useful material, or are they intelligent? Or at least, made by an intelligence.
Elimination would be a good way to go. Maybe it would appropriate to compile on the OP a list of environmental variables that didn't produce any success?
Good idea IMO.

Given the pictures of what we believe are Barnacles and what UAs look like I believe there is a connection, but it may well be a very loose one such as just the same creator. From what I understand meta-alloys are a commodity, and that raiding mining facilities is a thing on planet surfaces, I think this these barnacles would be a good way to introduce a new, high value commodity to the game, and doing it within a greater plot.
