I would go as far as saying that it would be next to impossible to find one of these by a blind luck. All these stars and planets...
Hence why I was asking about the clues. Now I see
Fdev have said in the past that these puzzles they quite often want to play out over weeks, but every major thing like this is found within days because of the skybox, an oversight on their part, just means theyll have to scramble now to create new content ( maybe it will prompt them towards more procedural generated systems rather than hand curated / crafted and planted content) it might be a gentle kick in the pants for a change of approach.
So good work for cannon on finding it so quickly, indirectly youre teaching frontier a lesson on changes they need to make. And the next stage of the mystery can move forward

now to find that scout ship
Looking closely at the pic I see a lot of sublimated structure.
I've a feeling MB is very entertained with this thread right now.

Could the M rated star class have anything to do with it ?
I'm wondering if that moon wasn't always a moon, and we are not playing around with some type of ancient super weapon...
It doesn't feel like a burial place, it has some type of power.

At that point it would be impossible to find. I mean I don't know if you know this, but there are 400 billion star systems in this game.
Frontier had to leave some sort of clue, maybe it was intentional.
They have other mysteries on the go as well. Maybe they wanted to rush this one.
They said that they had left something in the beta and no one had found it yet.

Given the time MB would still be at home or on his way to the office at 6am, but we should get a statement within a few hours
I do not have a means of producing a video, sadly. But I have just collected four relics in the larger circle and honked. Nothing. However, if you extremely close in a ship you can target them and honk. There appears to be a very slight, static feedback that results from this, but there are many commanders in this instance so it is hard to tell with all the other engines etc.
I will try to replicate in vacuum with other relics.

The aesthetics would suggest that these aliens and the 'thargoids' are totally different civilizations. What you're doing may actually be incredibly risky, since they may have been enemies
Could the Aliens be Humans, what is the distance from Sol?
Huge find ! Cheers to you all and to FD !
The ruins looks very nice and mysterious ! Probably needs some photo comparison but are we sure this is the same site as the Meet Elite Event Video ?
I gotta say though, I'm kind of sad that the search didn't hold for more than a day... I would have loved to be there !

oh on one side i think finding their hand placed content quickly is a good thing, there are other "thing(s)" to find so you could be right.
But if the devs are reading this and the skybox in videos isnt intentional and they want to slow the pace, either procedural content moreso than hand placed or other methods might be suitable. If it is working as intended good luck to them the community will get bored quickly

the missing or abandoned colonies could be, sirius inc and meta drive are part of this.
I'm surprised it took yolo-crowd this long to arrive there...
Never mind. Sounds like the background noise is noticeable surrounding a 10km radius.

But not in all isntances just one of well the amount of instances goes up with more commanders from more locations. So yeah always be careful, most will visit in solo, perhaps a temporary defense fleet can be setup
could be some info hidden there
