It's a line... it's a plane... no, it's Superman!
Which would at least explain the C logo on the barnacles.

It has always sat extremely unwell with me that the UAs were transmitting a message in Morse code. Why would aliens use Morse code, an ancient earth communication system.
An old post I have just read from Michael Brooks where he says that the missing colonies may now be unable to communicate except through low power transmissions has lead me to believe that the artefacts and barnacles are not wholly alien in origin. That would make sense as to why these things use Morse code given his comments.
Yes they seem to look alien, but what if it is human technology that is based on recovered alien technology from these colony ships.
I don't think any of this mystery has anything to do with Thargoids directly to be honest.

That's awesome
I've updated the UA Repository with the new data.
Here are the planetary data (sorry if it has already been posted):

Interesting - I had seen that post but the low power transmissions did not register i guess. Never really liked the Morse in UAs either if they were totally Alien... I like the idea of an Alien/Human Hybrid tech as well ... BUT Because Morse is used in game - it could also be rationalized as an Alien (possibly Thargoid) attempt to communicate with us. Morse is still being broadcast by Beacons and Stations and in some of the literature ("And Here the Wheel" for one) it is called Federation Blink Code I think. I guess im still holding out for Space Whales ...
What if the UA are a galactic April fools joke? :-o
10th March last year we got wings,and UA.
UA not found till far too late for April fool that year and since then it's building into a rollover UA April fool joke!
Would be one he'll of a joke but I doubt many will be laughing.... Just a thought.

I just managed to find that weird disappearing base (or at least, a geometric copy) that I ran away from when I thought the barnacles had been pointing to a particular place a week or two ago but it's called Pavlou Keep, doesn't unfortunately have any outpostness and it's at the back end of Maia, near where Ishmael was trying to get to.
Am trying to get some sound samples going for comparison with the usual data point noises but got some great clipping shots through to other dimensions. Including scary red "eyes" watching from the darkness!

Barnard's Loop seen from NGC 1333
I've tried to read this whole thing, gotten about halfway through it. I haven't seen any talk about this one idea I had though.
1. Assuming the "C" symbol on the barnacles refers either to Barnard's Loop, the LMC, or some other sky object, and...
2. ...if this is true then the symbol would refer to these objects as seen from this sector of space (meaning near the Pleiades)...
3. ...has anyone been around the barnacles at the moment that Barnard's Loop or the LMC have been rising from the horizon relative to that barnacle's position, or at zenith over that barnacle?
I hypothesize that it is possible the barnacles may give off a unique signal or act in an anomalous way when the object corresponding to the "C" symbol is either present in the sky or at zenith over the top of the barnacle. If the barnacle happens to be oriented in such a way that it will point toward the object at some point during the planet/moon's rotation that would bolster my hypothesis.
Has anyone tested this?

On one of the planets around Maia B1? I suspect a bug in poi spawns, found a guarded cache signal on one of B1's moons (the tiny binary pair), but it seemed to be within the cliff face
Recalling ships has the same problem, my guess is it spawns on a lower level of detail, then when you approach the more detailed terrain spawns in and covers it, or in the case of recalled ships, takes space under the ship making boarding impossible
I'm searching the centre of Barnard's loop at the moment. There are suprisingly few stars inside it, if people were interested we could probably mount a decent community search of the area in a weekend. And maybe deal with the "logo is Barnard's loop" hypothesis one way or the other. Doing the outside of the loop would take a lot longer though.
That looks really close to the Logo... Are there any landable planets in the NGC1333 nebula?
Actually now that I am looking the NGC 1333 looks very similar to Pleiades in terms of the Gases and has some type B stars? Good candidate anyone?
NGC 1333 has no central star , its along the 2mass highway as i call it, a astronomical data being implemented into the game artifact thing , not some mysterious alien motorway.
I've scouted the area in the past and again after horizons trailer.
The banards loop nebula and nearby nebulas briefly visible in the trailer sent a few of us seeking where it may have been positioned. Although most likely just a stage set cut together with other scenes.
Triangulating the visible locations we all sought locations. Thinking the previous wings trailer with the UA was set in the California Nebula i ventured there for a close match, looking down at NGC 1333 and remembering a past exploring trip i checked there.
Even closer match, but not quite perfect. Another hint or another red herring, nothing came of it.
Planets i did briefly explore didnt seem viable, most systems are M class with large planets, high mass, far too high for anywhere we've found barnacles. Too hot in most cases also but by no means did i do a complete survey , just a brief scouting.
Didnt find anything resembling sandy canyons or mineral deposits which i have been looking for as a guideline,along with low mass and temperatures.
Doesnt mean theres nothing there as i only spent a few hours there, scouted around 6 or so nearest systems to the nebula.
Currently :Decided to leave CG's for a while since no developments have been forthcoming since the SS1 salvage , they have been hushed lately with any answers. Pallin the fool has vanished or absconded with all the meta alloy.
BOWTIE NEBULA this has interested me for quite some time considering it used to be unreachable before horizons release.
Maybe undiscovered still but i doubt it now, deciding to make the trip if able to discover if there are any planets in the system. Could be important but unlikely.
Interesting facts about the place too IRL. (wiki link to nebula, Bowtie aka Boomerang nebula) . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomerang_Nebula
If theyre modeled in the game it could be worth the trip but i expect it will be just simulated and a WS star in a planetry nebula and bland and empty like many others.
COLDEST Place in the Universe we know of too,. curious, barnacles seem to like cool places. Colder than the background radiation.
Aliens Barnacles Thargoids , unlikely, Star is one of the Hottest known blasting gas and dust out.
i'd assume the fast venting of the gases has a refrigeration effect on the background radiation of nearby space to cool it.
Course laid in and en route, ETA with work sometime tuesday/wednesday giving that it is reachable with a Asp explorer 35 lyr range running lightweight with all scanners and SRV + cargo, enough jump mats for a good boost at 50%.
8 possible boosts to a near 50 lyr jumps i hope shall be enough, going one way if need be, gather mats once there if need to.
Left the Bubble ealier on, flying out past Iris Nebula not stopping much, no signal sources , no viable planets seen so far.

Onward and docked nearby Cave Nebula, scouting more tomorrow before moving onward towards NGC 7822 flyby before calculating a route to the BowTie.

ALL barnacles are persistent to the best of my knowledge. Placement may have been random for some, but their appearance is completely consistent.
This must be more than coincidence? And it also seems to me that Alcyone is the centre of the 'map', which is where I'ma flying to next...
There was a youtube clip a few pages back, 1,1/2 hours showing a barnacle. On the youtube video it shows that the barnacle is venting something... Could the barnacle itself be the reason for the yellow mist on planets its been found on?
If man/alien made: Terraforming? Factory?
If it's just a fancy space plant: Bi product of metabolism of some sort?

I tried doing this as well. All the elements of the logo there in roughly the right proportions, however I could not make everything fit simultaneously.
If it is a human designed logo we should allow for some 'stylisation' or artistic license though, it wouldn't have been intended as a literal map.
Frankly speaking, this looks like coincidence for me
I am also docked close to Cave Nebula, no signs of life yet. Landable planets within the habitable zone are very rare here.
Nice place here, though.
Will also move on to bow-tie - at least as far as normal jumping is possible.
