Showoff!
Showoff!
I'd recommend everybody visits there once. Most tense approach and landing I've ever done, good fun driving on it though - I rolled into a big rock at about 2kph and took around 30% of the hull off my SRV on it lol.
No matter what I do, I cannot find the barnacle. I went to both planets on the exact coordinates. Both open and solo play. Nothing.
Utopian Enforcer Exploratory Mission:
Some pictures I took in the heart of the Barnard Loop Nebula before leaving for the california Nebula and then back to the bubble to upgrade FSD with bucks of exploration data and materials.
No dangers discovered. Explorers still completely safe.

I've been playing around again with a known barnacle location, this time I had to try several locations as I was looking for a destroyed barnacle in the dark side, and the results are.. meh..
So, a destroyed barnacle in the shade is hardly noticeable at 500mts when fully stopped and staring at it. It has a small light emission that barely illuminates enough to make it visible at fast speeds. However the same barnacle also reflects the light, and this reflection can be seen from 4km, what means to me that it is easier to spot barnacles flying the canyon with the star at some point between your line of sight and right on the top of the ship.
Just to mention, I still haven't discovered a single barnacle on my own, but I've been testing these with the existing barnacles and seems reliable to me.
Oh, also, as a quick reminder for when I was locating existing barnacles, looking at the bearing:
000 to 090 alt-- long--
090 to 180 alt++ long--
180 to 270 alt++ long++
270 to 360 alt-- long++

Well done on your find!
May I point out one small correction though. You're looking at a Barnacle on California Sector DL-Y D4 C 3 while targeted onto C 2.
It's been independently confirmed now. 12 spikes, intact, no defences.
New tab started on the sheet.
You're right, it was on c3
definitely. looks like merope barnacles were handcrafted, or there is much more than what we know.
Excluding observations that dont fit your theory will get your biscuit rations totally canceled
All the stats you need should be here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...GQhC5KT-o9u05ihWKXebt4BcM/edit#gid=1511998258
A large view of the location on the barnacle on California Sector : the ship is pointing to the barnacle, on the large canyon on the right in shape of.... aaahh spider ?

I need to look at the other tabs more XD Thanks.

Nuuu! My Tim Tams!
I'm curious as from MB's hints I got that there were some permanent hand-placed barnies and the others would be RNG based - yet it seems everything we've found is permanent.
Does this mean they are ALL permanent and placed automatically by the PG galaxy according to a rule like Jmanis is finding, or that the permie ones we're finding are hand placed but there are others we've not seen that are non-permanent? Or is the Merope one hand placed and the vast majority of others according to the rule and all permanent?
