The problem is that there are lots of logical reasons why the barnacles might be in nebulae. It's very easy to go from knowing the answer back to the clues, but not so easy following the clues to the answer. A quick list of some properties of nebulae:

  • They contain younger stars
  • They contain a higher density of free-floating elements
  • They are easily recognisable at large distances compared to individual stars
  • The dust makes it harder to find things inside them
  • They are more attractive to human explorers, especially the novice ones
  • They feature relatively prominently in human mythology

And I'm sure that there are many more. When we know the answer as to why the barnacles are where they are we'll be able to go "yeah it's obvious now", but working forwards with so little information is a very difficult thing to do.

I'm also thinking that this is a most importent clue that we ever had.

It means that nebulease have something that the other part of the space don't. I't free floating gas.

If those Barnacles are similar to Earth ones then theare are filtering the elements that they need form the space. But what we know about forming the new star, is that in the system who actually have one there in no more frre floating gas becouse it was used to create the star and the planets. So i think the Barnacles would be in forming star system. That would be a T Tauri star system.

Also I was thinking about the magnetic field effect of the planets. The big planet with active volcanism got a magnetic field wich can shield the planet from the gas in space. Also moons orbiting the gas giants can be shielded by they magnetic field.

So, I would be searching in the T Tauri systems inside the nebuleae on planets without volcanism. I thonk it shouldn't be Ice planet (Earth Barnacles grow on solid surface). And i still think that the mist will be the indicator of the right searching place.

What finding? What did WE discover? because as far as i'm concerned if MB have to came here to give clues, there is a problem in the way this search is structured by FD.

Sorry to be expecting more than that.

Have you been part of any of the previous UA searches or any of the treasure hunts? I am imagining not (I am not saying that in a derisory way).

On the Nebula front I would say that from what we know about them it is indeed fairly logical as to why they would be found in Nebula. If you read the description of the Meta-Alloys:
"They are cellular in nature, and formed organically"
"Many elements form the structure"
"They are easily machined, but as yet cannot be manufactured, only found in space"
"They are associated with recently discovered alien entities nicknamed 'Large Barnacles'"

So we're looking for their origin to be somewhere in the galaxy where there will be an abundance of many different elements, preferably in a state where they are still free floating and clumping together. Nebula anyone? Unless you know some other phenomenon that fits those criteria.

I am imagining that the Barnacles are producing the meta-alloys. "Feeding" off the elements and processing them into the meta-alloys.

Agreed with Ozric. I also believe Geysers would contribute to Barnacle productivity, so it would be wise to search for them there.

Then if all the commanders of the five thred are too "stupid", you and I included, Fd should lower the puzzle level to fit the mean and "stupid" player base of elite dangerous.

And why not, start giving the hints IG for god sakes. Elite Dangerous the game where to play the game you have to be on the forum...

Why the highlighted bit? Surely an Earthlike or water world would be a far more suitable candidate, due to the natural movement of elements in both atmosphere and water.

Logical. I was also thinking that planets not having atmosphere (thus no shield against space particles), having high gravity (attracting more space particles) and varying surface shapes (meaning varying temps, shelters etc.) would be the best bet for this hunt. Nebulaes also protect from distant scans as they can interfere with scanners and sensors, but also yield lot of space particles (gasses).

My final theory is that these barnipples are a conspiracy to make all planets unlandable in HORIZONS when the barnipples are generating atmosphere due to their actions :D

I bet the devs are having a kick glancing through this tinfoil hat infested thread full of people over thinking things.

Would be hilarious if the devs are trolling us and there aren't any barnacles in the game. "We were messing with you guys"

Or maybe theyre using us as some odd social experiment, or perhaps a way to force us into bug testing Horizons.

Im starting to grow a tinfoil hat too, just in another context.

Hey Guys,
So I've taken to looking at the horizons launch trailer a little more deeply, and took the below screen cap, which shows the actual structure in a little more detail. Which shows that it is made out of a ribbed-black, exo-skeleton.

In this next image is the angle of the auxiallary thrusters, which indicate that the gravity is more than 9.81m/s. But not much more, a very slight decline in the thrusters would indicate between 10m/s and 12m/s. Or in terms of G's Between 1.01 and 1.22.

Also shown is the colour of the ground which is more of a yellowy brown-ish thing, Im no Space Geo-oligist, so, the only specilation from me is either iron of some kind of feldspar, more alkali than plagioclase.
BUT then again, this doesnt do us much good considering that the chances of this video been done in the Pleiad's is rather slim, but /MIGHT/ just give rise to the "goldilocks" zone for the barnicles themselves.
And as MB has said before, we'll know we've found it when we actually do find it, It appears that this larger structure is in a field of organic-looking "weeds" with little pods hanging off of them. Could it be possible that these little pods hanging off of the "Weeds" are the UA's? Or possibly even meta-alloys?

I think it would be a good idea to try to search Larger Icy Planets (The Brown Ones) that are volitile. This is seated in the posts that say the barnicles could be feeding off of (somewhat little) nutirients in the ice and soil. Atleast, That is what I'll be doing the next 18 hours.

...or it can be just for cinematic reasons. The trailer is not actual game footage.

Can we land on Earthlike or Water Worlds? ;)

Sure, no-one's ever found one, but then again no-one has ever found a barnacle either.

Sandro confirmed ages ago in his Q&A that there will be no active volcanism at the start of Season 2.

I visited all the T Tauri systems in pleiades, they have no landable planets. And the pleiades nebula is a reflection one, not a "stellar forge" like the Eagle nebula, anyway I doubt that this distinction exists in the game, so probably every nebula is similar to another one.
