If you're going to Merope, give planet 6 a good search for odd things, & maybe a close visual search of the asteroid belts.
I did a second test by pulling up, i.e travelling above the ecliptic, and the UA still pointed to the star when dropped there, see my second post for the screenshot.
But I am willing to be part of a larger experiment with multiple ships and UAs. How do we coordinate that best? I do not have the CRCR and no hope of an invitation to Palin to buy some, so I prefer to not carry an UA for longer than necessary.
Been wanting to help out for a while. Are the Barnacles in the California Nebula still alive or did people blow them up already?
Guys I believe that I have cracked the meaning of the symbol on the barnacles. This may have been suggested before or not.
I also have a feeling that among us there are people who are keeping things to themselves. Kind of selfish if you ask me. We all take credit together for participating in this endeavor.
I am accusing those who went looking in California Nebula primarily. I now know the reason you went there and I will explain.
The symbol on the Barnacles is depicting what appears as a nebula of it's origin.
But it is not.
It is depicting three distinct nebula, the nebulae that correlate to it's origin. We will start with the first one where the barnacles were found. Use the links to see the images of these nebula as they appear in real life.
Plaiedes Nebula:

This nebula is depicted in the symbol as a single circular nebula.
The second nebula which had barnacles discovered in it is the California Nebula.

This nebula is depicted as a single streak or line type shape on the symbol.
And finally, the symbol shows you the Bernards Loop, and perhaps the Orion nebula or the surrounding area there in the galaxy map.

I am willing to bet that Orion or the Bernards loop contains a large blue star where barnacles can be found, or multiple systems where they can be found.
I propose that this is the meaning of this symbol and that it has been known by those who first went to look in the california Nebula. They saw right away that this symbol represents three different Nebula.
This is the hint Michael Brooks gave us:
Q:Now that one has been found, can you be a little more candid with your responses?
What other nebulae are they found in? And is Lagoon nebula one of those nebulae?
“I'm afraid not - the nebula(e) that they can be found in relates to their origin and I can't talk about that.”
Michael
So what can you do to help me out? Help me Search the Orion Nebula and the other surrounding Nebula and Barnards loop. Look for a large blue star.
If you are near the California nebula. Look for a large blue star system nearby called: Menkib (xi Persei). That is what it is called by the scientific community and I am not sure how it will be called in the game.
Additional comment: This symbol and the barnacles should be treated differently than the UAs. The UAs point to Merope for a reason other than the barnacles.

I have not actively been a part of the hunt or this thread and even I know that people have been speculating that the symbol meant other nebula's and therefore have been looking into them for months.
hi was near .. went there for you:
*uses mind control*
Fly out 500ls and circle star > Search > "ATIK" > Route planner > Eco Mode > Plot Route > Engage > Repeat search pattern each star
*vibes*
ps. don't really. i'm just gonna be twitching while off in the wrong direction

Probably a bug.. We're revisiting the sites and the ones that have changed seem to have totally changed states.. One on D 3 that was previously destroyed with 12 spikes and no defences now has 17 spikes and no defences. Another on the same planet was previously a double with 2x12 destroyed spikes and now has a double with 2x12 intact spikes, 6 skimmers and a Goliath!

I thought the same and tried menkib but as below no planets and no uss or sss.
I will go back and look again. I thought the symbols were bernards loop. Orion and running man nebulas.
It took a long time and multiple level 3 FSD boosts, but I made it to a star system behind Bernard's loop that aligns all of the nebulae up to appear as it does in the symbol a while back. That star is HD 32431; a large, blue B-class main star (but system information says A-class, galaxy map says B-class) with 2 more A stars, and 3 T/Y dwarfs. When in that star system and viewing in the direction of Sol, Bernard's Loop, Horsehead Nebula, Orion Nebula, and Witch Head Nebula all align just like the symbol on the barnacle. I spent multiple days searching the best candidates in that system for barnacles or any other hints; unfortunately, found nothing of interest in that search. It took a bare-bones Anaconda w/ 6 level 3 FSD boosts to reach that star and return.
Here is how the nebulae appear, just like the Barnacle symbol:
HD 32431 ABC 4 E was an unusual moon, with a very polar, slightly eccentric orbit compared to the other moons orbiting the same dwarf. Further, this moon had HUGE rings. (Reminds me of the same orbit as Merope 5c)
Moon information:
The moon itself:
The full album of HD 32431's system information and other screenshots can be viewed here:

The California Nebula has been speculated as important since before Barnacles were in the came, before Horizons came out.
There is zero reason to go around accusing people of conspiracy.
I think this makes sense.
... and on to a quite possibly entirely related observation... the horse head nebula requires an unknown permit... which just happens to be found right on the edge of barnards loop.
What did Michael say? "Winter is coming"!
I did similar within the irritatingly obvious cube of stars behind Barnard's somewhere around 43 Theta-2 Orionis to no avail, but this might mean nothing now. The ground there was well trodden
wow, you can't say "scan Barnard's loop and the nebuale around it for something". we do even know there is something in Merope and despite all efforts we can't seem to find it, and it is a single system.. you have the " barnacledin rift" syndrome here.
From your star, take your map straight out towards the galactic rim. Between (700,-499,-1400) and (700,-499,-1500) the stars REALLY thin out; that cube shape irks me as well. Keep going until you reach the (X,Z,-2190) area, then drop down to the -888 area. You're now close to where HD 32431 is, just nudge the X axis over by about 100. HD 32431 is (645,-888,-2193). It took days and days to find the most efficient route without having to farm for 20+ lvl 3 FSD boosts. The closest route I could find still required at least three lvl 3 boosts to get across the gap to that star cluster and 3 to return. An ASP can make it there - but you better be a jumponium junkie/hoarder.
I did yesterday, actually. Nothing around the planet/rings, not a single USS for more than 1 hour. When going to the ring, there is always 2 or 3 pirates spawning and 1 or 2 miners, just like any other ring or asteroid belt. Haven't seen anything remarkable.
On the asteroid belt however, I was getting close to the mid part of the asteroid belt (am I the only one that finds annoying an asteroid belt that spans for 1Ly) and I got a USS that resolved as a convoy pattern. When I jumped in it was either bugged or empty, not a ship spawned. I'm about to repeat now.
You should organize a coordinated search ínside the emergency drop zone of Merope main Star. After all, the UAs point there and this is the nearest searchable position available.
I'm thinking about life forms insid e the corona, or alien abandoned nests, or automated assembly UA factories...

I have looked all over Merope... especially the USSs. Nothing interesting. However in Maia I did stumble across an AI Relic... Dont think it was related.
Guys the point I was trying to make is that there are exactly 3 nebula that have barnacles in them. There is one more and it needs to be found. Once it is found, we will need to think about the importance of those three nebula and how they correlate to the origin of the barnacles. The UAs is a separate thing, connected, but leads a different path in the story as I suspect so does the missing Jaques Station. This particular Hypothesis of mine relates to the "Origin" of the barnacles and the relation to the 3 nebulas of which we have found 2.
Has anyone searched Orion nebula? There are many blue stars in it. I marked several that I am on my way to visit. Will make a stop at Merope and Maia on my way there though. If anyone wants to come on a trip feel free to join me. Cough cough... Ilo... cough cough.

What is the emergency drop zone? And yes I do suspect that it is the actual star itself that is important. Cause they point to it not any other planet in there.
