Two finds in the Witch Head nebula, shortly after the server side patch? Very suspicious, I think I will cut the RNGgrind short and get myself down there for some tourist rubbernecking. And as noted earlier, there are tourists and tourists, and I am bringing the latter. With limpets and meta-alloys, just in case.

I'm not particularly keen on conspiracy theories. I believe the barnies have been doubled up in an attempt to make them easier to spot. My finds do not show up on the SRV wave scanner (bug reported) and I only spotted them because I flew right over them. The question is how many more are not working on the wave scanner? If many of them are bugged then loads of people could've been right near and not known.

I am not particularly impressed to discover that my favourite hop and 360 listen approach, rather than a migraine inducing visual search, could've been a complete waste of time over the last six months.

The gasses in nebulae are extremely sparse though. The only HII region in the relevant nebulae is the California Nebula, which should be slightly more dense. For the others, they have a density of 100-10000 particles per cm^3 (compare to the density of air at 10^19 particles per cm^3). If they were living off the gases found in nebulae, they should have larger surface areas in order to intake any significant amount.

That is why I am headed to the California nebula, and other nebula to see if there are any there. The concentrations are still higher than empty space, any planets that form in systems within nebulae would have higher concentrations of many elements. So that is why I think nebulae are an important factor, unless someone finds a barnacle outside of a nebula.

How exactly does one go about searching for these? Are you just skimming the surface of planets? Looking for the structures? I play on XBONE and we just got these Horizons updates so I'd love to help in the search for these things.

Start by going to a planet with known barnacles and practice finding them without using coordinates. Their size is deceptive... when you're flying around, they are TINY!

Yes, I this is my normal method for searching for UA Shells. Approach to about 200+ly (no idea where the central systems is). Eco jump until about 100ly from the nebula, waiting an appropriate time in each system. When I tried this in 2.0, I waited 10-15 mins in each, in 2.1 I think you would need to wait a good while longer (30mins +) which makes it a rather long process.

I have done this to Cal more than once, and the first 5 or 6 nebula on the DWE route to BP.

Not necessarily. I had a Anomaly show up within the first minute of reaching a star around merope. Was a free floater that I harvested.

Nebulae are mainly gas clouds, that is probably why the barnacles are there, easier access to elements like hydrogen, helium, oxygen and carbon. With hydrogen, carbon and oxygen being the main ingredients for carbon based life, it is only logical that life will evolve and thrive where they are present. My theory is that the barnacles are a silicon based lifeform, using the silicon present in the rocky and rock/metal planets and the gases from the nebulae.


Edit: Also, considering that the barnacles are found on airless worlds, it makes sense they can survive vacuum conditions. Makes me wonder, can they actually travel through space, are they the " eggs " of their species and when fully grown, take flight. Possibilities.

I agree with your first point. The nebula in essence is the atmosphere required for the barnacles to live in. The barnacles seem to be more like a type of harvesting point for these meta alloys.

The UAs are different though. The UAs dont look like seeds at all but rather probes looking for something. If anything looks like a seed, it is the meta-allow thingy that people were taking off the barnacles. That to me, looks like a seed for another barnacle.

My best theory right now imo, and my best lead is that the UAs found something in Merope which we have yet to find. I suspect it is either a really rare USS or a celestial body that can not be discovered with scanners. I suspect that most people there spend most of their time looking on the planets and not looking for USSs as much time, or a celestial body that is not detectable with the lazy scan all approach.

I went over 2.25M Ls in supercruise at 150-200c in the direction of Maia in case there was a hard to find POI that doesn't show up until you're in a certain range (like Voyager in Sol, only detectable up to 1,500'ish Ls away and it's over 2M Ls away from Sol). Nothing in that direction.

I agree, definitely I will be looking more tonight.
i don't think UA's are connected as such i do think That the ua mystery is linked to palins racks in some way.
I'm thinking that in these cargo rack the UAs might indicate something within merope.
Maybe a sound I'm purely spitballing.

Exactly, I think the barnacles use the light from the stars and the materials the need to produce the meta alloys. Sort of the same way a plant makes it's food through photosynthesis or humans and other animals make vitamin d from sunlight plus the relevant building blocks in our skin cells.

...is there a shell of barnacles around something else? I know: not the first to say it... but... is there a spot in the galaxy which is roughly equidistant from all known barnacle planets/systems?

MB said that the nebulae where these barnacles are found relates to their origin.

I say that the origin (center) of this triangle shape is next to be searched!

Well too bad. It looks like they all blocked by unknown permits.. Or are they all?

Imo this is a separate lead from the UA lead in Merope. Interesting though and this is the third time I bring up the theory of "the triangle."

It always turns out to be those illuminati s. Some shady people if you ask me.

Im sure every type of ship has been tried, and every commodity, and a lot of locations. But has someone gone to one of these other stars that are the main source for a nebulas' luminosity with an UA and let it scan them whilst having a meta alloy in the hold? It's the only item I can think of that has an interaction with the UA.

I seem to remember that the UA sound changes in the presence of SAP8 containers- number of honks changed or something like that

Should I be worried that while im Decait 4 looking for YTTRIUM there is this Type-6 thats been following me for the past 5 hours? like... i brushed it off at first. but it wont. STOP FOLLOWING ME!

Here is a pic of the triangle, with Hind in the middle.

Hind is slightly 'abow' the plan of the 3 others.

As you can see, it is very symetrical. It could probably be perfect with some other systems.
