Yeah, same case as some stars in the Pleiades.. I'm headed towards that direction now (LBN 623 which also had a permit star at one point) and will drop by the Bubble nebula as i pass through.
i want to try and profile the criteria/locations for the procedural generated barnacles, MB one stated that their location is linked with their origin being within a nebula somewhere. Could also help us to understand them if we know their distribution / 'habitat'
I'm skulking around the Lagoon nebula, because I happened to be close. But frankly, I don't know what kind of planets I should be looking at, if there are any special circumstances to be aware of. So I guess I won't be finding any.
Ok so, Im going to head out towards the Orion Nebula passing through the Witch Head. Shouldn't do my exploration rank any harm if nothing else. Will report any sightings and will stay in open to try and avoid the POI issues. If I dont return look there for my corpse.
Good hypothesis. This would also answer why the UAs can still degrade ship modules even when the ship is carrying meta-alloys- the UA spores can get directly to the ship modules because they haven't been surrounded by MA bulkheads. The station engineers are probably using the MAs to craft shields for the affected equipments. Which leads to the question of where the UAs are-probably held by collectors/BM dealers somewhere in their station living quarters.
Very interesting. One thing I noticed is that the main center structure never appears to be quite level. This has the interesting effect of making one of the six "legs" appear to be pointing. Do they consistently point to the same spiral arm or barnacle spire?

so far it looks to be worlds with high metal percentages. Merope 5 C is rocky but with high metal content and the other one is high-metal with one of the more higher concentrations. both instances are being found in sandy canyons (from what i know) and as per MB they should be in or very close to Nebulae. Other conditions are what i'm trying to find out though
Or maybe they weren't carrying *enough* meta-alloys. maybe if they were carrying 200T of meta-alloys and 1T of UA it would have blocked the damage. I'm not sure if we have enough detail about the initial report. More science is needed here!
Very Interesting- cos that's not on the list of affected stations published on Galnet on 4th January!
Think you may have a typo there!
Searched star map with "caine-massey", "caine", "massey": There is Masseys world in Quator system and Masseyworld in Arcturus system (both landable planets). No idea if this relevant in anyway.
I'm having issues with the crash site spawning now.
Solo and Mobius - no crash site.
Open - voila!
Come on FD, this is very poor

Exit to desktop, close launcher and restart. Rinse and repeat till the barnacle spawns.
Out in the California Nebula, nothing found yet but some places that would look to be perfect
Not the barnacle, the crash site.
Interesting alignment, but not 100%. The way to test the hypothesis (that somehow the barnacle configuration is intentionally aligned to some specific stars?) would be to go to another location with presumably reasonable separation (e.g. Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2 Planet 1, haven't checked the separation) from Merope site & see if the alignment is different.
Same principle applies.
mineral veins & maybe the temperature range
