thank you. Always nice to know this infomation is useful.
Maybe just interesting or just perseverance, but i hope one day soon the Barnacle story will be back in the limelight.
Nowhere else in the galaxy can you source a Meta-Alloy but a barnacle, they will have significant uses in time as these engineers keep telling us. but when they reveal what they have discovered is anyone's guess.
(Prof. Pallin, what are those defense technologies from MA you mensioned in galnet ? Like always , he's gone silent and into hiding no doubt )
Additional info to add,
had another beer, since it was there,, second wind and thought i would continue my brief survey again in the California nebula.
More data came to light regarding the navigation markers. Arrived in California nebula DL-Y D4 . Another main barnacle system in this nebula.
Surprised since it had been quite some time since last visit. This system also had navigation markers available from long ago scans.
More data confirming what i suspected but dismissed when the nav targets in 2.2 got intoduced and vanish.
4 in this system though long after i had visited here last, so headed off to complete fresh scans of all known barnacles in this system.
Upon reaching C2/C3 binary planets, 4 nav targets , 2 on each planet, must have been months ago was here last but they remain now in the same state i scanned them in last.
California Sector Dl-y d4 C 2 45.69 / -88.15 Caught my eye as i neared the nav target in glide mode and a wave of nostalgia. Here was my first ever first barnacle discovery, it was a double barnacle on a mountain side in this nebula.
Slowly from there on 7 months ago i got better at locating the barnacles, right back where it all started for me as a Barnacologist
Double barny half way up that hillside
Have a pic from my last visit actually iirc.. wasn't that long back soon after i started this thread. It was the first time i had ever seen the barnacle be ripe,, every time was barren till then.
Oh and another Double barnacle here on C3 too, this time a 4 MA spike unguarded one. Seems out here things are just 'RIPE' i guess without the Pleiades Resource Co. possibly affecting their state changes or putting in defenses things are just simpler for the barnies.
California Sector DL-Y D4 C 3 48.45 / 11.74
Still one more barnacle system in this nebula to check,, could be more old scans active.
Leaving Mic turner base in California sector BA-A E6 and its barnacles and new ones i may find till tomorrow.Most likely there will be other old nav targets there active from when i last did a pass through this nebula.

Late Edit : Arrived in BA-A E6 system , found one last bottle of beer and still up this late. Anyways, got here but no further for now , in system , confirmed several Navigation markers for barnacles from a while ago visible.
7 nav targets from my last venture through this area, maybe 1-2 months ago. all post 2.2 update. Logged 7 barnacle targets last pass it seems, and only 7 known in this system.
Same state as that time perhaps? things certainly looking better now with the nav targets.
Mic Turner base at the north pole, also with the fungal site. Since locating Nightshade Valley fungal site , 3rd at Hind nebula after another Cmdrs first discovery , makes me think at least 3 sites of fugus possible here too.
First was located prior to the base's construction, placed their no doubt due to its discovery rather than nearby barnacles which was its purpose.
Quite possible other fungal sites are on planet, while surveying the barnacles in system and other planets later, will survey for fungal sites, or maybe even coral.
This site is central to the nebula and would fit into my categories for nebulous life spawn locations. Either barnacles or possible fungal sites,, good times later scouting.
