are u crazy?
MB didn't say to not search Merope, he said searching the Nebula/Sisters may be a good idea. We have no evidence that the UA and barnacles/meta alloys are linked either. If someone finds another UA shell 150Ly from another nebula I might be more inclined to listen tho
edit: I agree with the rest and I'm trying to find misty planets
He can be very cryptic. Like the dungeon master.
He actually said he liked the person's way of thinking, when they referred to conducting the search away from Merope (it's on the first page). That told me all I needed to know and it was confirmed when I properly considered the make-up of the Merope planets
If you look at the Merope planets, they are balls of rock, very little metal, volatiles, or anything that could could be used to sustain a lifeform. Compare those same planets to Maia and you'll see what I mean.
On Maia, there are loads of metals and volatiles, but they are mostly tidally locked to each other, or a dim star (L type Dwarfs).
Maia may still be a possible (A6 and A7), but I am looking around the rest of the Pleiades first.
"You are guaranteed to find them if you are in the right location."
I'm not factoring in meta alloys or UA at all here, just barnacles. That's all my reasoning is geared to now. BUT, if I find the barnacles, meta-alloys shouldn't be too far away, based on the in-game description.
Provided the servers are up I am back to researching, then looking.
Good luck
Same here, but on Merope 1 A. After we start to having server issues.
I'm registered over there. All details should be provided. If necessary I'll make a post or comment in a possibly existing thread about joining the group.
Please no. First crashes == barnacle, now unscheduled server downtime == barnacle.
No service owner would intentionally take their service down in an unscheduled window to do something like this. It's not even remotely likely to be associated with barnacles at all.
C'mon folks!
Have you read the comments? Pure fun! In some way they are fooling us...
Many theories about planet surface composition, pointing at high metal content or carbon presence or high G or other stuff. Assuming the alien things MUST be native of that planet/moon/system/cluster. But are we shure they are? Why aren't we taking in consideration that 'goids live in another space dimension and not in normal space? maybe the trailer's scene simply represents a crashsite with an alien ship on the ground and multiple meta-alloys scattered around it?
In that case.... well every planet in a nebula could be a candidate.
But we could speculate on what may have caused an alien ship crashland....
Possible theory (one more? O_O):
could it be possible that barnacles are "quite logical" to be found in nebulae because their composition causes thargoids' ship malfuncion?

Sorry for the (maybe) stupid question, but are people conneting the barnacles with the green glowing things on the trailler right? Someone around there dedicated time on exploring the dark sides expecting green glowing things?
Yeah. We started searching tidally locked dark sides because of the trailer image, but there was no joy, and 'organic' things probably like temperature differentials, etc. So some stopped focusing on them.

or infection theory, they came from deep space, but can only grow in nebulae for some backstory reason, so they are present in all nebulae, but with incerases in human exploraiton, they are now much closer to human space than perhaps they used to be. Which would mean a home cluster as well (fdevs first attempt at specific area specific resoureces) can be boosted for procedural deep space areas to
Not a stupid question at all. The general assumption is that those things in the trailer are the aforementioned barnacles. Though it should be noted that there's been no official confirmation that they are.
I believe it was reported in the news this week that a high street food retailer has been held to ridicule becuase it's "luxury buscuits" were in fact chocolate-dipped custard creams, so I have no problem in envisaging chocolate-dipped bourbons.
That is exactly my approach. I'm a few jumps away from Maia, but within their bubble and found a system that has all 3 of these. 33-100% metal, geysers. 1.3. - 2.3G. Need to fix my ASP asap. Down to 50% hull.
There is a commodity in the game called the Meta-Alloy, which describes 'Alien Barnacles' as something explorers have come across. We are assuming, due to the nature of Barnacles, that these are the large, planet-based alien structures seen in the trailer
Also, if I recall, Dachande is from one of the Aliens vs Predator novels right? I loved those books
It comes from the item description for Meta-Alloys
