Great work panzer!
I'll be looking in the approximate distances from merope to see if the barnacles also form a shell or shells around it. If they do, it will strengthen the bond between the UA and the barnacles.

Generally, in a narrative, when the enemy has a much larger stick, they have some kind of debilitating vulnerability to even the odds. You just have to figure out what it is.
The symbol on the barnacles maybe have a connection with the Nebra Sky Disk??
It has the pleiades in it.

I visited the barnacle site on 5C at night, the larger one with the symbol is releasing some kind of gas, and some blue particle effects. The barnacle makes me think of some kind of production facility, like it was there to build something. it has some kind of Exhaust, and is surrounded by those things that break into different minerals and meta-materials. with the same kind of blue particles as the UA, maybe it has a UA inside of it?
What intriques me about Mintaka, is that Mintaka B is referred as a star in today's catalogues, but is a black hole in E: D.Had the same idea about Mintaka on my way back from Barnard's loop barnacle search before it was finally found on Merope 5C.
So I searched the surface of Mintaka B (unique) "landable" planet for it... It was so dark... Found nothing but that was before Merope 5C historical discovery !

Panzer! I was on the exact same thing last night! I've noticed the Taurus Dark Nebula being on the vector of the Barnacles systems, and I've looked at the Pleiades Nebula from there, spotting the similarities with the SYMBOL. Well done!
The only problem is that that nebula does not have stars inside it. But we know that being exactly inside a nebula is no more e requisite for a Barnacle to exist.

By the sound of things, it's presumably one of the srvs shooting the ground.

I actually did quit a lot of testing in a Taurus dark region system that is inside the UA shell. The problem is that this was just after the Horizons release and I used the SRV or looked for blue POI.
I would not have found a barnacle unless it was within SRV scanner range. :-(
So - is there a Taurus Dark Region system inside the shell, on that vector?
Same here, when i saw there was only two new pages since i left to dream a little... I was like : Hell YEAH.
I guess that since we are right post BIG DISCOVER, people are decreasing on the search and calming down ^^

Sorry, my mispelling: I was referring to the Taurus Dark Nebula!

Simulacrae, Check the Front Page, in the OTHER NEWS section
1. You're not the only player.
2. The first encounter was long before 3125 (2950 to be precise). Humanity started the war due to a trigger happy Fleet-Commander. The Thargoid attacks on player ships in the original game were thus retaliation, not a mindless attack.
If you continue with the same approach, history will repeat itself.
I humbly suggest "You want to go home and rethink your life"

I think I'm alone in this thought but they seemingly have a few possible spawn locations around a certain area. They spawn in one or more of these locations based on a random number probably.
This is pure speculation on personal observation though. I recorded two different locations on Merope 5c. One is around -21.34, -156.93 and the other is around -22.95, -158.35
These can be a bit off, writing from memory since I'm at work but one I visited in Mobius with a lot of other commanders and the other in solo. In both cases, the other location was empty.
I'm starting to feel like this may be a feature rather than a bug, given their random nature and FD's silence about the whole 'solo spawn bug', hinting at the possibly very large underground structure of these things and the barnacles are what they push out of the ground when they have something to release.
I'll do some more careful observations when I have time.
EDIT: Let me add before any possible misunderstandings.
I understand how the random and fixed spawning works and I'm aware there are no graphical assets underground when you glitch through using the classified cam. However, if I wanted to make a really big harverster organism poking its mouth (anus?) out of the ground in a few possible locations within the ED spawn mechanism, I'd go this road.

Ok, before everyone starts getting too over excited about this, can I just point out that, when you have 3 points defined in 3-dimensional space, you will ALWAYS be able to find a viewpoint from where they make a straight line. (More specifically, any 3 points are guarantee to be coplanar)
This is meaningless unless and until we find a 4th site and can still make a line.

Thanks for the history lesson Lore Master Drew! I remember those early Thargoid invasions... it was back in the days of CMDR Jameson (Yes! THAT Jameson!) My response was almost always the same: RUN!

Hello Drew, nice to see here
May I speculate that some players are eagerly waiting for history to repeat itself?
As far as I'm concerned, I'd prefer to have a brand new, and mysteriously unknown, enemy instead.

3 points will always make a plane. A 'line' on the other hand is pretty special in 3d space This is not a line in a single viewpoint. It's literally on the same single beam from wherever you look at it.

You can of course set your viewpoint to one end of the 3-point line, aim at the other end and check if the middle point actually lies between those 2 endpoints...
