+1 In previous iterations, Thargoids definitely were the most angular of all [noob]
Well, if one simply counts the number of lit triangles, it's 0797. Does anyone know if different obelisks yield different numbers? I don't know if the rest of the planet has been scoured, but perhaps there is another of these 797km in the direction the obelisk is facing?
It should be obvious which is which since one of the coordinates is outside the range of -90 to 90 so cannot be a latitude.
You would not believe how long I spent going around and around and around Njokujinun 1 recently trying to find my base-jumping mountain at -13, -128!

I don't, I know there are more than one alien race, which is why I said "other alien races", not least because Lord Braben has mentioned it on more than one occasion (I expect there's 3, possibly 4 if you count the 2 "species" of Thargoids (I really cannot for the life of me remember what the others are called
) as separate).If you want the real non tinfoil version of why I think it's not the Thargoids, then it's quite simple. Thargoids are the trump card for FD, they're the thing that most people are obsessed by and waiting for. If you reveal them in the second year of the game (certainly this early) then what? People lose interest.
I think we may get a first glimpse encounter of one at the end of Season 2 beginning of Season 3, with most of a Season building up to proper meetings with them.
I was trying to think of a more ingame way of getting across my feelings
I failed obviously
It might be a bit of a sod to try to attach meaning, as the triangles constantly change. It looks more like a 3 "digit" display which is in a wait state.
Hopefully doing something to it/near it would cause those 3 symbols to solidify?
[or: the above
What I noticed was that some of the triangles never light up. It's easiest to see this on the left side of the middle display. A non lit triangle(surprise) appears.
I don't know if its possible to overlay all the frames on to of each other, to show the small triangles that never light up?
Yes Thargoids are the trump card I totally agree they wont play it till they are well and ready to.
The ambient noise at the alien site is damn spooky!

Looks an awful lot like a circuit board to me.
The obelisks that are active flash up with the triangle glyphs when you get near them which makes me think they react to the presence of lifeforms, combine that with the fact that some of the spires have these triangle glyphs etched on to them, it's safe to say whatever race left this behind used triangle patterns as a form of language, but seeing how the obelisks are all on the disturbances in the ground that resemble the aforementioned circuitboard, it's possible that they are capacitors or storage units of some type, and the active ones are terminals for maitenance or access data. The big pyramid to the right of the major dish has a lot of hard lines going between it and the major circle, so it's possible it was the location of some kind of generator for whatever the large circle was.
What got me excited were the relics: glowing cyrstals at the top of spires. Crystals in science fiction have been used as storage banks for data...but in a more realistic sense crystals are frequently used as focusing lenses, and those spires make me think "antenna".
This might have been a data center for whatever race built it, and as for why it's in the middle of a dead moon and had so much of it's architecture sculpted from the rock I have no idea.
I don't think it's Thargoid though. We know that Thargoids are insectoid beings that used bio-mechanical technology, which is why it's so plausible that the probes and artefacts as well as the crashed ship were from them. They all look like they're insects, parasitic. The way their tech is constructed doesn't have a lot of geometry to it, it seems almost natural, like it was grown instead of fabricated. This new site is highly geometric and seems to have used special crystals for the basis of their technology. All of their objects have some sort of basic geometry to them.
All in all very interesting to see, and it's a shame the planet has a -6.9d rotational period, it's going to take a while for the site to be in the dark which is where I really want to see it all and see how these crystals glow. I'm also curious to see what sort of stuff can be done with the new items we've found there. I have a relic in my hold and I'm going to take it up in to space and honk at it a few times, see if it does anything.

A thing to note is that some of the structures have a sort of green glow to them like the crashed scout ship thing. Also some structures buried in a circle shape around the site makes it look like a stone henge sorta thing. And why do the ancient tablets and totems look like they've plummeted to the ground like an asteroid? Couple of things I noticed about it all.
Congratulations to CMDR xdeath for not only finding the planet but also finding the ruins too!
It was good that someone actually posted a video of the find outside of this thread otherwise nobody else would know about the discovery just from visiting the forums - such a shame everything gets lumped altogether in one place.

How many obelisks are there?
Someone tried to place SRVs close to all of them at the same time to activate all of them at the same time?

Thoughts on the displays.
The obelisk display is made up of three rows. Each row appears to be devided into two columns. Each resulting cell contains 18 triangles, which are arranged as a horizontal stack of 6,5,4,3.
The display flashes in a repeating pattern of approximately 36 variations (need to slow the video more to count accurately)
Interpreting the pattern may be done in a number of ways. This list is NOT definitive.
1. The whole thing.
2. Taking each of the three rows separately (3 items)
3. Taking each "cell" separately (6 items)
If we look at each row, the two cells could represent a number with a decimal point in the middle.
Each cell of 18 triangles could be interpreted in a number of ways. Off hand
1. Simply count the number of lit triangles.
2. Count the number of lit triangles in each vertical row. This results in an odd interpretataion as each row has a different number of triangles.
Each light has three sides - is this significant? Why not circles or squares?
18 triangles in a cell, 3 rows of 2 = 6 cells. Perhaps we are not dealing with a decimal system, but base 18 instead.
Final thought - it reminds me of the game of life.

It was posted outside of here before it was posted here ???? You tube, Reddit and Discord all within minutes of the find ! Anywhere else it could have gone to ?

Maybe simplify it a bit, Morse or Binary ?

There does seem to be a lot of ancient items around. Maybe all of the need to be used?
ive found about 3 ancient tablets, 2 ancient totems, 2 ancient relics and 1 ancient orb.

Regor Sector has been locked out since day 1. It's a spherical region roughly 1000ly "galactic east" from Sol and there's no way in that we know of.
FYI, Regor is a modern name for the star Gamma Velorum. Thank the Apollo astronauts for that one.
You're not the only one thinking that! I was reminded of Avebury as well. Including that one that you can sit on like a chair.So, i got a quick look at the place before the servers dropped.. very impressive. My first thought as I got to the top of the bank was of how much it looks like the Avebury stone circle and the kennet avenue. I guess it's bringing out the hippy in me.
Now that is indeed a very interesting coincidence!
As for myself, I'm impressed with Cmdr xdeath for being a true navigator in the old sense. Setting course by the stars.
