only thing we really can interact with is the spire's and the databanks. And databanks are for engineer materials so that leaves out the spire's

You can jettison cargo from the SRV with very good accuracy.
I am also making headway with that, going to post up a comparison of the sky box from Asterope with the Pleiades stars labelled.
Turns out I was wrong about Merope and Maia in relation to Celaeno, but not the sky box itself.

In theory, they should have been limited to 0.3c due to the maximum exhaust velocity of fusion engines. Or 0.5c if they used anti-matter. But FD have apparently stated somewhere that they could travel at 0.6c somehow, although I don't know the source of this canon.
a last look at the site before i go there my self.
So i dont thing we have all of the site visible yet.
so all of the bare stones have a purpose either they are part of the walls or arranged in circle or as part of a group of obelisks, except these one in the blue bit,
looks to be a bit missing the red bit and perhaps the green bit as well.

I did this yesterday for a single obelisk with my ship laser without problems. Did not really try to not hit the relic. Should really be possible. And as the pillars are distinct objects and it CAN be done - it SHOULD be a step to the solution.

Over to you then
I would also just like to highlight something from last night which I think has gotten lost, but is still relevant as people are talking about the obelisks.

Indeed. I agree.
Using the new Data Scans, and the Ancient Civilization Informations they contain, some Engineer (Palin?) will be able to set up some ship upgrade, able to unlock or reach what we can definestep 2.

I was planning to put it on the FP

It's from this news article in FFE (which isn't confirmed canon):
"COLONY SHIP DETECTED
S.L.A.M
Astronomers using Excessively Long Baseline Interferometry (ELBI) to conduct a survey of distant radio sources believe that they may have detected the "Mayflower 97" slower-than-light colony ship, which was launched from orbit around Luna in 2097.
ELBI remains a somewhat inexact science, because receiving stations are placed so far apart that considerations of simultaneity become an issue in interpreting the results, but the patterns received by the Distant Radio Survey group do indeed appear to show radio emissions characteristic of a Bussard ramjet moving with a relativistic velocity of almost 60% of the speed of light. The "Mayflower 97" carried nearly a thousand passengers and crew, plus domestic animals and extensive gene banks to aid in the colonisation of Earth-like worlds which were presumed to exist around nearby stars.
Archaeological evidence suggests that it did indeed successfully reach its first port of call at Tau Ceti, but the fate of both ship and crew thereafter was unknown until now.
The ship's tremendous speed in real space makes it Impractical to attempt a rendezvous, so the "Mayflower" will presumably be left to continue on its way, bearing with it any descendants of its original complement."
The existence of the Mayflower 97 is however hinted in this article: https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57b6f0089657ba686d4f8629

I certainly hadn't forgotten this i definitely think this is worth more thorough investigation.
You can get them to stay on top...
You can see two "freed" in this image, one in front and another just over the hill in the distance :
Then the one at the bottom left :
And from the bottom left I gain some altitude and here's the last one :
But nothing seemed to happen.
The rocks are not destroyable.
It looks like the three relic towers on the right side have line of sight of each other, but the one in the bottom left can't see any others.
I scanned the freed towers, nothing.
I tried to interact with the fallen pieces, nothing, they are not targettable.
I tried to interact with the nearest obelisk to each freed tower, no change, just the usual scan data.

new pants plz
NGC 2286 Sector, Bovomit, Sidgoir... maybe "soon".
We were saying earlier in the thread..
~380LY from Sol, over 1200 years = ~0.3c?

Is it applicable? The obelisks seem to give a random piece of data each time, as in it's not consistent and so can't align to the physical appearance of the obelisk?
Maybe I am misunderstanding.

You are right, the Obelisk gives random Data. It behaves exactly like any other Data Point in game. However that research is worth keeping...
