Just heard it on Lave radio from Mr Braben himself. So, what does this mean? Hostile, friendly... eggs? What are your thoughts?
Some alien stuff could be living creatures.
People are in shock.
People get angry that other people kill those creatures to get resources.
People take "kill 50 civilians" missions without even thinking about it. People kill others because alien stuff could be creatures and killing creatures is bad.
Hopefully any sentient alien species is intelligent enough to stay away far, far away form humanity.
The burning question though is, can we eat them?

...and do they taste like chicken?
I think they are mostly metal. You might damage your teeth.
Exactly.....real life barnacles are alive, name alone should be a hint.Following news of David Braben's "astonishing" announcement that Barnacles are living creatures (haven't listened to the show yet - but I will), I have a few surprise announcements of my own.
These are also living creatures ...
I know right? who knew!

pretty much describing a lot of conflictsHm, so all those Meta-Alloys might one day "hatch" inside the Stations they were used on to "fix" ?
Or they're markers serving the purpose of "bring us to your leaders!", allowing for specific attacks on Pinpoint High-Value Targets when time is right - Target coordinates delivered by the greedy humans themselves?
I guess we'll find out one day.
If anything, I'd expect "big momma" looking for her eggs she planted - only to find out they've been harvested by humans for "re-purposing". "Big momma" not going to be happy about it![]()
Yeah, but we've got loads of humans in the bubble; getting rid of a few won't make much difference. And if the Barnacles themselves start killing each other I'm not going to get in their way, either.
we are doomed when all trees turns against us because of killing them for wood
So if we discover that alien species X or Y outnumber us it's ok to slaughter them for fun and profit?
The logical next question: When can I start trading in barnacle steaks? That's gooooooood eatin'.
Ants outnumber us as well, I see no panic on planet earth of a possible ant uprising for us stepping on one now and then.
