That's because you were actually looking for Ceti Alpha VI.... I'm afraid that isn't the case:

Denser nebulae areas makes sense, but the misty craters are found everywhere and are out-gassing from the planetary surface so if that was sufficient the Barnacles would be everywhere. Maybe the Barnacles need/want the Nebulae specifically but will take the misty craters as a bonus
What I'm working on now., I went to the planet next to the one with the outpost on it.
Given how tricky it is to find the buggers I bet they do! They're laughing at us. can't you hear them ?
I realise the densities are totally unrealistic for supporting life, but am rather suggesting that the location of the Barnacles (within the Galaxy obviously, but also within the planetary system) may be influenced by optimal access to the nebulae for a filtering type function (or possibly a release function).

To everyone looking for barnacles at the moment. Have you tried looking specifically in dried river beds, since barnacles usually are marine creatures?
I keep bringing this up, he dodged the second part of the question so I'm pretty sure it indicates that there is some special condition that must be met in order for the barnacles to spawn. May be something you have to have in your cargo hold, or something else entirely.
dead centre points at the white centre circle, so imagine a system map, with a rocky (the orange part at the goal, then a blue planet, then an icy planet, then a blue, then a rocky. are any systems like that in the search area's. just guessing here, but who knows.

That's very interesting! it's deadcenter!
probably the white in the mittle is the sun? ( just thinking out loud now)
We should probably look a little bit more in this.

Michael - if we offer to buy you pizza and erect a life-sized cthulhu statue for outside the office, will you give us another hint?
Fixed.

Well, there's basically infinite UA's, given that SSS's in the shell spawn constantly if there's someone around, so... No? But they all point to Merope. I think, personally, that it's less that Merope is special and more that they are pointing to the Pleiades in general.
BRING ON THE TINFOIL!!
I've now gone halfway across Maia A 2 B along the equator with nothing to report other than finding Taaffeite at a mining facility.
When it comes to the whole barnacles filtering "neutrients" from the nebula gas angle I think this is looking in the wrong direction. IMO they're called barnacles because that's what they look like (see exhibit A: Horizons trailer), not because of being otherwise identical with earth-barnacles. We know they like nebulae. From what I understand nebulae have a high density of "interesting" materials. These materials are primarily found in the planets rather than in the nebula dust. (The science here is probably inaccurate, I'm "paraphrasing"). Others have theorized that barnacles "mine" planets of materials and as part of an organic process turn these into meta-materials, I agree with this. This tells me we should look at high-metal planets in nebulae with a high occurance of specific materials. The question is which materials?
My suggestion of a methodical approach would be mapping the occurance of rare materials on planets in the Meirope nebula. To start with a narrow band we could limit it to 100% metal planets and only materials from metallic meteorites. What do you guys think, any of this making sense?

Agree 100% with this

Who says which way is up? Is the court supposed to resemble magnetic poles? Space is 3d diagrams with up and down maybe not. Sorry I'm lost on this clue pr5 6 7 or whatever. No frame of reference and no chance? I do like the anthill mob though and the bulletproof bomb. They all sit in the same row though. Proper clue needed.
