The image on the Barnacle looks like a cow brand to me.

On the sea shore on most Earth beaches, & the "explorers who found these & named them Large Barnacles" would presumably have been aware of?

I'd plump for the barnacle side. Any technology that respawns every time its damaged & revisited is the winner for me!
in all honesty, if they will be staying the current course, thargoids won't be of any threat. there is barely much challenge around and a lot of free handouts. i hope the condas will burn when thargoids come, but i highly doubt it.
I was suggesting this to a mate a few days ago. We likened it to species 8472 vs the Borg.
EDIT:
I wonder if the UA tech issues are a prelude to some Entity that may use such effects as either a weapon or tool to disable ships. Maybe even if they are in hyperspace. You know flying along just the thing.. and Beep Beep Beep, something goes wrong with your FSD and you're out in normal space.. somewhere else... *
I do think that the UA and Barnacles are not directly related, but will be linked in a more round-a-bout fashion. It's certainly possible that it's due to human involvement, but again I think that's just another thread of the bigger picture FDev are slowly showing us. I doubt it's coincidence that it's Weyland on the boxes, so either that's a red herring, a tribute, or a clue.
*I'm fairly sure MB once said that witch-space would not be in the game. But things change.

Ah, Formidine Rift! People have so short a memory nowadays
If they really come from an other galaxy, where would they land and strand? On the outskirts of the milky way, I suppose. And there may be a rift, that isolates them from us. Maybe they are now able to cross that rift. And maybe with the help of great Li Yong Rui and the Antares remains we soon will be able, too?
Best regards,

We're not talking about the first discovery at (-26.3496, -156.4044). We're talking about a second report (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=222049&p=3423132&viewfull=1#post3423132, coords were in a latter post).
Maybe its something like this?
In this picture you see the Juggernaut ship from Alien and Prometheus.
In the top mid section you see a round piece that could resemble the barnacle with the rest of the ship underground.
Maybe soon the ground will open and the ship pops out.
I do not say that it would be exactly the same as in the movies, but i do know that Frontier loves references to Sci-fi movies and such.
This ship is also organic in design so who knows.
I think this would be great though.

It looks like a connection quality issue, but it's still something only FD can fix. The barnacles and wreks are in a fixed location. Perhaps just allowing a few more retries will do?
^ pure speculation
Did some testing I see the issue with both wired and wireless.
Turned on all logging and I see no errors, nothing in the logs talking about being unable to get data or similar.
Tried a bunch of tests then associating to connected server, it doesn't look like that.
The issue is intermittent for me but it seems mostly they do not appear.
All tests were done with a fresh boot of ED each time, not dropping to menu.
It's really frustrating because when meta-alloys appeared I started searching. I took off on a ~15KLY tour around all nebulas from the bubble to the outer rim, I mean MB confirming they're related to nebulas now. =/
Trifid of the North, Jellyfish, Heart and Soul, NGC 281 etc...
Would I have found anything? Well maybe or maybe not, but I have no idea because if I had found one there's a very good chance a bug would cause it not to appear.
It's frustrating... to put it mildly.

Here's another point:
3). The Thargoids were the bogeymen of the original game, they were a big part of what made it special. I say ED needs them to be bogeymen as well. Where is the fun in an alien race that we have peaceful relations with? (Don't anyone say "someone new to trade with!" I'd have more fun shooting myself.)
So I say shoot away.

I haven't tried anything close to the release version but both the Rift and the Vive are supposed to be ok with glasses.
How about we actually have an interesting and original story for once? Seriously, who says the Thargoids have to be the "boogeymen"? We have a lot to say otherwise. Other species, rogue AI, other Thargoid factions, each of which would make a 10x better storyline than the generic "Here are hostile aliens for no reason other than being things for you to shoot at. Shoot at them."
And as a side note, I've already said before but I've 100% lost hope for this game whatsoever gameplay wise. I will most likely never enjoy playing the game for the game itself ever again. I only stay for the story.

Yup. One big popularity contest.
What a waste....
Out of interest, how do we fix the stations with no commodity market available at the moment
We don't have to fix them, because they aren't affected.
We believe that UA's and Barnacles are somehow connected to each other, like pieces of some puzzle. Maybe it's the same with their signals/sounds. It was confirmed, that the purrs are identical for both. Maybe the purrs are some sort of syncing sequence and the rest will add to each other to form a new signal, which could lead us to something. Could someone with appropriate tools try this?
Thoughts?
(sorry if this was already tested, was off for two days, still catching up, with this thread)

Errr...... what?
Take for example, Gaiman Dock, in the 49 Arietis system. It's completely shut down. Only docking and shipyard is available.
How do you sell Meta-Alloys there to "fix it" ?

I usually got the 'landed in mid air' bug, when aproaching a known location that failed to spawn. I had to be close though. Closer than visible range.

I was only joking about 'your' station that never got affected.
All the closed stations are incureable at the moment.
Sorry, I did miss the joke, but hopefully you get why I'm so incredulous about this?
Maybe Walker Survey didn't get affected because it didn't have a commodities market. Apart from the ridiculousness of it if that genuinely were the case, we now have a situation where bringing meta-alloys is supposed to "fix" these issues, yet here we have stations experincing these issues, and we can't "bring" meta-alloys by selling them.
Given this, there's absolutely no reason Walker Survey shouldn't have been shut down, unless once again, no player agency in the game whatsoever (unless it's within FD's hidden left and right of arc).
Again, what a waste. I think the appropriate sentence here is to "Paint yourself into a corner" ?

In the event of first contact scenario, it is always good to know ahead of time which CMDRs are likely to be the trigger happy ones. =p
is there a working bulletin board? Charity missions could temporarily restore services. If not maybe it's going to be a beachhead station for whatever is causing the problems
It's interesting what adding just a couple of extra segments to a barnacle does
Thargoid Warship anybody?
