Anyone seen if it correlates to the assumptions garnered from the signal audio analysis from a little while ago? The central layout seems kinda like a landing/launching pad with an amphitheater around it and the ridge running up from it looks a little like it could be a launch ramp like a maglev/rail accelerator? Having said that, it's a little short.

I'm going to echo what so many others have said. Your method was perfect. You did a great job finding them. Despite the opposition.
The problem lies in how you did so. Yes we have the ARG. Yes we use outside tools. But without a completely 4th wall breaking trailer, there was no way to know these exist using in-game means. And that's the problem. The problem is also exactly the other things you mentioned. We need more clues presented in game. But we don't need a simple puzzle telling us where to go. They haven't seemed to find the balance to make the puzzle the right kind of interesting. But.. your method may not have been how they intended on us to find it this time. There still could be a perfectly awesome puzzle in game that we missed. Lol. Won't know unless we find it.
I'm going to go on record and say that I agree that the trailer was not an ideal way of starting this mystery. If it wasn't me the did it, someone else would've eventually. I would give it a day tops. I'm curious to know what Frontier had originally planned.
If it ended up as some new discovery by Professor of Author-insert-controlling-the-narrative Palin. Where he gives the co-ordinates and system out after a CG to collect Soontill relics. Then I think we would be overall more disappointed than we are now. I would prefer subverting Frontiers intentions by dissecting a trailer to that any day. The "NPC" assistance is the most worst method for solving mysteries, just boils things down to CGs and Galnet articles.
Frontier needs to create puzzles and mysteries that are solved by the players. Triangulating positions based on star maps, analyzing audio, subjecting things to certain tests(UP scanning). I should point out that they are a company and can actually hire someone to do that, create puzzles for players to solve.
There are no tools left over or, really any evidence that any one has been here. I might have been the first person here in thousands of years.
What you are seeing is the artifacts themselves digging their way out of the ground.
More than feasible, we could use nuclear pulse detonation drive to accelerate up 12% light speed. A pure antimatter drive could achieve 80% lightspeed.

Maybe some kind of fluid?
Maybe this is just a way to show us that this place is interacting with visitors.
Or it's a place where this "fluid, or energy" leaked.
Seems someone has overlaid the radio image on the map - not far off a match... http://imgur.com/jrp06B6
Ok ... It is clearly not the same planet.
So...
The Frontier has changed the location of the alien site. Or...
Is there a duplicate of that alien site there in Vela Sector.

its great that people are trying and everything. but the problem with overlaying the spectrogram from the UP on to the site means nothing. remember. we already figured out what it meant. it leads to col 70. So this must be new. right?
Yes you're right - sorry late to the game.
Has anyone tried placing totems, urn, orbs in certain areas to see what happens.
oh indeed
I'm wondering if you get multiple people activating various points at the same time if it produces a result...
Thanks for sharing. I'll check this sector. I swore it would be closer to REGOR.
I think you might be right.
Here's the turquoise pattern you get under an "artefact", it does look more like fluid than cracks.
Here's some genuine cracks as seen under a risen relic tower :
That patterm is, an artefact, with stones round it, and turquose ground. Seems a bit odd the stones are there too.

I'd be leaning toward energy over liquid.

Until someone goes to Col 70 Sector (after permit is lifted ofcourse) that "solution" is only a theory. Until that time, we would be awful scientists if we didn't try other theories in the meantime.
A "solution" without hard evidence will always be a theory. Please try to remember that.
Give me a blown up version of that image there and I'll triangulate the system for you.
