You can use it on anything and everything that you can target and get within 1km of.
Why they would be found in Nebula?
Easier to hind

Right, I'm just 1000LY out from the bubble now returning from a trip to the Statue of Liberty Nebula (no Barnacles found, surprisingly ) I'm going to get back to looking around for clues, think I'll try out Nganji first and then follow the trail of where Palin has been to see if there are hints in any stations along the way.
Agreed, I was thinking this when I saw the Sirius Corp announcement. Exciting times are ahead it seems.

I've done this and found 0 planets that match your description.Lets assume trailer shows real barnacle as u can find it in game.
If moons are Tidally locked to the planet they orbit, the sun still shines on both sides. Same as Earth's moon. Our moon does not have dark side, it only shows one side to earth but shows both sides to our sun.
Tidally locked moons are not different than others that are not tidally locked. They still have day and night cycle.
Tidally locked planets have dark side but i don't know if there is one in the nebula with high gravity. Has anyone checked for tidally locked planets with high G in the Pleiades ?
The best way to narrow the search is to find tidally locked planet with roughly 1g high metal content or rocky world and search only the "sunrise" (edge between dark and light side) because only than dust can exist i think. That should narrow the search quite a bit.
But everything i sad above can be wrong there is noting stopping a GM spawning one where he is at. The trailers are meant to be good for the eyes.
And also dark scene shows better the colors of the structure and adds mystery so also dark side of the planets could also be wrong
*** SUMMARY ***
* Here's what we know about barnacle distribution: Barnacles occur on planets within nebulae. They are known to occur in the vicinity of the Pleiades.
* Here's what we know about barnacle biology: Nothing.
Every other theory, feeling, interpretation, assumption is 100% speculation.
Whoever is seriously investigating the coordinates of some real earth-side stadium out of a random reddit post, will you please stop, it's crazy.

Its infuriating.... was thinking that the banacles could be an early phase terraforming appliance .... but then why would they go to the trouble of working on a planet in a nebula when countless other's exist in earthlike, water or ammonia atmospheres....
Unless they want to re-establish a colony in the Pleiades.... in which case they could draw in Nitrogen from the Nebula gas and then extract Hydrogen from the water on ice bodies to for NH3 (given 3x time more hydrogen needed).
I think trying to formulate the Barnacles purpose: mining, metal material, terraforming, cloning facility, power-generator.
Reading on a Wiki page:
In 3255 the in game newspaper “Universal Scientist” announced that the Thargoids had requested permission to visit the ice planet Merlin (curiously this is where you started in FE2). Their researchers reportedly believed that there might be similarities between the sub-polar ecosystem of Merlin and certain local ecosystems which have evolved on their ammonia-based planets. This was one of many low level scientific exchanges.
Merlin was chosen for and in the 'sub-polar regions of the ice planet' as being similar to their natural habitat....
So i'm going to look in the sub-polar regions of some of the nebula ice-planets and assume that these devices are atmospheric generators or at least used to provide an ammonia source to alter the chemical makeup of a planet more suitable to their requirements.

Anyone checked out the Orion Neb ?
Thinking of heading off there in the next day or two.

Eh? He's a wizard! Burn him!
This might be common knowledge but did you guys know that disabling your sensors after you've landed shows the blue POI indicators?
I was able to search a ton pretty quickly by increasing my sensor range and doing this.
I would land, check the radar, fly more into the circle, land & repeat.
Granted, the last time I checked, it was unknown if they would show up as the blue POIs.

AT LAST.
I deeply love you, man.
Let's meet in Pleiades Sector XY-Z A1-B23, I have two tickets...

I've seen medical convoys say that inside the bubble. I don't think it's anything.
Probably a few, including myself. My expedition route has so far taken me through Pleiades and Witch Head, currently enroute to the Barnard's Loop and Orion Nebula.
Yeah, this has been confirmed. It was first time I saw such convoy *ever* so it got me alerted (probably because it took place on Nebula where I wouldn't expect such traffic).

Does anyone have a poll for a prime candidate of planetary exploration?
Sure, as individuals we have a tough time narrowing it down to 1 planet.
But as a collective, if a majority agree on a planet being most likely to have barnacles... then an organised search can be made.
I've been discussing the math and logistics behind such a search, with the talented Canonn Science Members, but the problem isn't how to search a planet.
It's picking the right one.

I would like to offer my services. Not sure if this is the right place to do so, but if it is, then consider me enlisted
Take your standard issue tinfoil hat and regulation digestive biscuits and go for it. Check the first post on this thread for a better idea of whats going on. Theres further info in posts 2 and 3. (those are constantly updated with progress)
Spent yesterday and this morning in Orion and Running man areas, Guess what I found?? Zip, nada, nil pois, bupkiss!!
Oh well, maybe I'll give it a miss then.
This wild goose chase is starting to get very old.
