Going on the recommendation to look into Sol's recently added bodies I was close so decided to have a look around. There is now an unregistered comm's beacon orbiting Europa just sitting there.. spinning making a weird electronic sound but no real morse that I could discern. Ship's computer knows it's there but gives me a blank target under the contact list..

Any chance of a couple of closeups of the totem? I'd like to see this "alien figure"
Paranoia is setting in but I see a missile... and targeting reticules... I'm seriously standing on my jump to conclusion mat courtesy of lab 69 but this looks weapons... In fact the whole site looks like a missile base of some sort.
(also it reminds me of one of the early concepts of how an imperial planetary base was supposed to look like all rounded with spokes etc... maybe and abandoned INRA missile base..?)
I'm guessing FD will do an official Galnet on this discovery.
If not, I would not mind writing one.
I'm not the most gifted writer, but the one I wrote for Wace's discovery of Col 70 in the UP data got accepted.
Not if you unlock it in stages. and its the combination of the 4 that opens all.
I know clutching at straws but apart from this all i have is why are there two of the long wall stone bits there.
all the others are part of the wall of groups of stones but 2 in the bottom left quarter dont go with any thing.
UP and UA dropped at various ruin sites, have some friendly mobius guys honking away like there's no tomorrow, so far there was no reaction whatsoever. Cant think of anything to test anymore (recording everything) anybody have a "must defo test this" idea??

All the structures appear to be on the surface, but the ancient relic rises up out of the ground- so might there be an entrance to some subterranean parts of this?
Have you tried activating all the antennas beacon or whatever can be activated at the same time?
But have they been scanned? or just dropped?
SO
has anybody tried to put the alien artefacts into these alcoves to see if any behaviour is triggered?

I thought that and was looking specifically at a ground level "cover" that is also partially covered with sand.
This:
That's a spawn location for scoopable stuff (see video page 73)
Or stealth removal of the breadcrumb trail that was supposed to lead us to this site in the first place
That's all well and good (actually it's great and awesome !) But by "stumbling" (sorry I'm not doing you justice xDeath) upon the site we have no clue HOW to find more of them if they exist.
As you can see by Mr Braben's post he (they) weren't expecting people to be able to do that.
I'm surprised that they are surprised since nearly every trailer containing a location was triangulated like this except those were either temporary set pieces for the sake of the trailer or rand POI spawns.
You just gave me an idea. I'm going to ECM the site
See video page 73.
It's probably already been suggested but has anyone tried scanning the beacon with a ADS or DSS? I would try myself but I can't get on my PC. Keep an ear out for any weird sounds, or any special events around the site that are activated by scanning.

Depends what you mean by tried, but probably yes. I've just stocked up and am heading over now if anyone has an ideas on the way.
Tried with active/inactive obelisks, tried with pillars activated (to be honest i'm doing this with random people so i couldnt be too sure it was all 'working' as they stated), tried dropping artefacs and all the other goodies as well..basically everything thrown in for good measure.. and just lost the UP to ED being ED.. so i think i'm done for today. but i'm getting the feeling there might not be much more here than engineering mats.

Sorry for breaking the science: Are the coordonates still messed up or did the patch fix it ? I just can't find the ruins...
