Go for it
Here is a sad thing... i am stranded in my python... no station in sight. *insert sad music* All i will do now... is watch my fuel gauge slowly go down... until it hits 0. my python will be dust in space...

Fuel rats perhaps? Time to press that button
Call the Fuel Rats!

On a separate note, I have failed to find Barnacles on Witch Head Sector DL-Y d22 2 A, a rocky moon of a ringed water world (radius 499km, temp 222K, 91.1% rock, 8.9% metal) and have decided to move on to a HMC world elsewhere. I also failed to find the very rare material there, finding only Mn, Cr, Mo, Nb. Strangely, the world I've moved to also has Cr, Mo and Nb... (no very rare there yet, either). During a few system scans I did find an Earth-like World: Witch Head Sector FG-Y d16 A 2 and also an Ammonia World: Witch Head Sector DL-Y d9 8. If I fail to find anything tomorrow, I'll head for a known Barnacle site to check how close I need to get in order to see one from my ship: I'm mostly flying along canyons and craters at 500-2500m altitude. At ~500-700m I can see rocks but I'm finding it difficult to spot surface POI with a blue circle and have to get out of my ship each time (at least I got some data materials for my trouble today).
Maybe it is...

On a side note. While I wait. Anyone willing to head to Merope with a UA?
Humanity met several species when we ventured beyond the Sol system and wiped out all of them, except the Thargoids. The Federation wiped out other species before the Empire even existed.
You may find the links in Rizal's UA post on the first page useful.
Saw my first barnacle the other day, it was cool!
I didn't dare shoot at it though, it might remember later down the road, I politely tipped my space hat and went on my way, lol...
Anyway, tinfoil hat on...
People discuss the UA's and where they point to, and therefore attention is on that location as if the UA's are directing them there. Also that the UA's can be found approx 130LY in a sphere around the location? Am I right thats called the 'shell'?
If my understanding above is correct, I would suggest that the UA's are not pointing towards, as example Merope...they are moving away from it in all directions. That the Barnacles create the UA's and shoot them into space periodically, hence the shell as they move away from the system in a search pattern, towards...?
Well that then would be the question...what are the UA's/Barnacles looking for?
Just an idea. Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of that

Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 2 49.9075 102.7141 Previously intact and guarded, now destroyed
Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 2 49.5347 102.0792 Previously intact unguarded, now destroyed
Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 2 49.7519 102.161 Previously (I'm guessing destroyed from the lack of appearance on the Canonn site), now destroyed
Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 2 49.0665 102.9364 Previously (I'm guessing destroyed from the lack of appearance on the Canonn site), now destroyed
That's me for the night, but it may also be worth noting that when 2.1 first landed and I scanned almost all the known Barnacles to give the data to the Canonn research centre, if I tried to scan the same Barnacle twice it told me I already had the data. However it is letting me scan them all again, so that is what I'm doing, data will be incoming tomorrow.
*Edit* Has anyone found a Barnacle that still has defences today?

could you please not make public the location of one barnacle and see if it still changes? hardly we can't confirm anything when they can be destroyed in solo..

Don't really understand what you mean. The locations are freely available and they have not changed in between sessions before, but we need to see if multiple people see the same state to confirm something has changed. I am parked up at a Barnacle so when I log in tomorrow I can see if the state has changed for me, oh and I never play in solo
The 1st California Barnacle was destroyed when 1st discovered (AFAIK). So unless there was a massive coincidence that someone else found it recently but kept it quiet, I dont think its entirely our fault.
I am highly doubtful that the California discovery has caused the state changes. What DID happen when California was discovered was a WEEKEND change of Permit Locks. Weekend suggests it was automatic, and something must have triggered it, so it is possible that discovery in other Nebula could lead to other Permit Changes until we actually get to discover something.
IMHO The Barnacle's status will continue to change every Thursday

I may be missing something as I've been away for a while, but was the Californian one not only discovered on Tuesday?
If the status did change every week, then presumably they could be scanned every week too and the changes monitored. This is also the first time they've changed isn't it?

I highly doubt permit systems are affected by barnacles. FD made a number of changes when 2.1 dropped and they probably just realized they missed something and made the change then. Not surprising considering the number of sectors permit blocked and the very strange organization of the sectors. IE. sectors aren't regular "sections" of the galaxy but rather look like gerrymandered voting districts.
As an indie developer myself I doubt they would have made the puzzle to be solved that way. I also think things like this were already done. My number 1 suspect is that we all missed something at Merope. Everyone was so busy looking at the Barnacles that they missed something. Im on my way out there now in a diamond back. I suspect some kind of ruin or something similar to the barnacles that was hand placed. It would take a long time to search through all the planets there. I think there needs to be a massive community effort to look once more through that system. Those UA pointed at the system for a reason and Michael Brooks confirmed that the barnacles are found in many different places not just in that nebulae, so the UA's must be pointing at something else and NOT the barnacles which are indeed related but not the same puzzle.

I'm sure there's plenty of info about the Thargoids out there. But there is a entity in the ED universe that has almost absolute control over news, information, and communications. It's called GalNet. I'm sure if they wanted to conceal information they'd have little trouble doing so.
I agree. The fact that UAs transmit ship sighting data to Merope implies there is some kind of receiver or relay in the system.
There have been Galnet articles mentioning them. They're still canon but have dropped out of the public consciousness a bit.
Apparently some streamers were at the FD office recently and given some lore regarding Thargoids that they couldn't pass on until tonight.
In Frontier First Encounters, the whole ending where the player steals the mycoid virus vaccine and delivers it to the Thargoids, followed by receiving a Thargoid ship and some exchange of scientific data, never happened in the current Elite: Dangerous universe.
Instead, there was a bugged alternate ending mission that couldn't be completed, where INRA gives the player a more potent version of the mycoid virus, and you deliver that instead. Apparently this is the story now. So there were never any cordial relations or exchanges between Thargoids and humanity.
Interesting. So we might be facing rather vengeful Thargoids when they finally show up. Good.
Yeah. The streamer went on to say some other interesting things that I can only take as opinion, as he didn't really expand on them at all.
He said the Thargoids will drive us out of the inhabited bubble and we will be forced into a guerrilla type war.
He also said he believes he knows where Raxxla is and you will require triple Elite rank to access it. Then he said he only has combat Elite to finish, and when that's done anyone else that is triple Elite will be welcome to join him when he goes looking.
