Haven't run across himself yet, however my asp was blown up just after landing by CMDR Nomad Enigma. Leaving my srv stranded on 5C. No warning or anything. Gutter swine!

Ah that reminds me. I found a floating barnacle on Pleaides Sector JC-U B3-2 1, but it was relatively close to the others being found so I didn't think it was newsworthy.

It's only floating because it's on uneven terrain. I'd say it's a bug in the height placement rather than some new development
I've seen some floating buildings too where they've been on uneven terrain.A word of caution with this one though. When I shot off the meta alloy, it rolled under the barnacle. I was nearly unable to retrieve it without some struggling with the SRV against the barnacle, well.... let's just say, if some system authority had been passing by I would have had to say "it's not what it looks like officer!".

Don't know whether to laugh or cry...
To be fair, that's exactly the kind of joke I usually come up with so have some rep
That one is definately lopsided... Someone (sorry for not remembering who) theorised that it also pointed to somewhere. Is there more to that theory.
Should we observe this one to see if the angle changes? (or maybe someone already did that?)
edit: well looking again I see that it's not on level ground. Still that means that it tries to point straight up or to something?

He's still there?
I went to Merope 5C in open last Monday and he was flying around shooting people.
The symbol on the main body of the barnacle.... anyone got any ideas? apart from this one
Its Barnard's loop !!!

Its Barnard's loop !!!

Yesterday he was, he had also tryed to Destroy the whole Barnicle-Site with some Weapon of Mass-Destruction, Mines, Rockets-i dont know,
has he no Quidditch to play?

He's a wizard at shooting up unarmed explorers.

It's worth reporting this as a bug if you haven't already. Seeing the state of the underside is a real immersion breaker
Well yeah, somebody had decided it looks like EVERY OTHER NEBULA. AND ALL THE OTHER ONES.
Just took this shot at the site of the 3 Barnacles on PS JC-U B3-2 2
Dont know if its worth mentioning, but the symbol that looks like a Nebula on the Barnacle, will be or has, lined up with the actual Nebula seen here just above the crater rim. I believe that is the correct Nebula?
Also the MA branches would have been aligned at some point too, if as Obsidian Ant mentioned, they are some kind of 'Henge' (as in Stonehenge) ?

I know - I want to be in *his* gang so much, I think he's amazing...
Many envy! Very skill!
His name deserves to be up in lights! Or his ship, anyway...

Yeah great RP angle right? 'We are here to protect the site from you reckless scientists but first imma shoot the barnacle wiv mah lazor'.

That's not a nebula, but the LMC unless I'm mistaken.

We all know that they are a fraud.
The only persons they have ever fouled are themselves.
They want to shoot at things ? No one said you need to be their victims.
You want to shoot at things ? They are painted targets waiting to be shoot at.
All it matters is what WE want to do when WE are in the mood to do it for fun.
What does LMC stand for? just looked on galaxy map and it does indeed appear to be outside the Milky Way.
Thats the Large Magellanic Cloud
-----edit-----
its a a nearby galaxy, I think Derthek or one of the other Canonneers has suggested this could be the origin point for barnacles/nebula. Personally I hope not, otherwise how are we ever going to nuke them in the inevitable war?

I believe LMC stands for "Large Magellanic Cloud". It's a nearby galaxy if I remember correctly. One of our galaxies small satellite galaxies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Magellanic_Cloud
I believe that it was rumoured to be where Thargoids originate from, but my memory might be a bit flaky.
Perhaps you may have stumbled on to something here, the symbol may be a link to where the barnacles have originated from. In this case a small satellite galaxy near our own.
I'm still thinking that the barnacles didn't originate from the Pleiades...and that wrecked 'Conda with all the barnacles around it is why. My theory is that the conda was out exploring somewhere beyond the Pleiades, encountered a planet full of barnacles, picked a bunch up, and then had a failure on the way home causing it to crash and spew barnacle seeds all over the place. From that, they've started expanding out and taking over the planet, and nearby planets/systems (perhaps the event that caused the crash spread seeds into the space around the conda, letting them spread?).
So...where could it have been coming from? That's another thing to look at...where did it come from, and where was it heading?
