No - i have tried this yesterday - no effect. But maybe it depends where you try to dig - the site is huge.
Ciao, Udo
Thanks - Saved me a trip to find a laser!
The data the Obelisks give is random yes, but the animations stop once scanned. I think there is more to the actual animations, the sequence. perhaps related to the debug camera footage below ground showing some clockwork type movement?
As promised, here is the comparison.
This screenshot was taken from a distance of 626LS to Asterope A. I have colour corrected it to match as closely as I could to the still from the footage. I have labelled the main stars in the Pleiades that were in my field of view, and added in your horizontal line for comparison. I was a little surprised that Maia was not visible from here, but it was the position of Celaeno particularly that made me think the Asterope system is the right place:
For comparison, I saved your picture and annotated the stars to match:
I recommend orienting yourself to match the picture, and search within 1000LS of the star. I really hope this Cobra is actually in game and not just a nice cinematic.
Maybe Michael Brookes could confirm so we know we're not on a wild goose chase?

Just quickly adding in a negative of the site, mostly as to my eyes this gives the best definition of the markings of the pics I'm seen.

I usually expect you guys to find things quickly, it's when you don't that I start to worryBesides this is just the first step...

But the real question is...
Is there a puzzle that can be solved in the game in its current state, or do we have to wait until later in the season to be able to unlock its secrets? (unless this ancient site is just for farming Engineer materials?)
Man you guys are quick! Unbelievable. My Work-Life-Elite balance gives me far too little time to fly, especially at crucial junctures like this.
Congratulations!

its a bit closer to the star but yes this is it its more like 600-900ls
if there is something here well find it for sure
now we look for an unusual uss

I am here, what am I looking for?
Is this a known thing?
The Ancient Items appear to light up when in proximity to a lifeform?
Seems to happen at exactly 20m.

The relics towers however are always "on".
It also applies to the turquoise ground pattern near where you find the ancient items, back off, goes dark, <20m lights up, even if an item is not present at the ground pattern.
Might be worth doing some multi-CMDR testing on this?

I had thought (and I could well be wrong) that this was saying you can tell what data you are going to get because the pattern is unique to each piece..?
If you really think the only thing that would have been added/unlocked in 2.2 is this ruin then I think you're in the wrong place. Let's also not forget that we haven't even "solved" the other puzzles.
Dammit it's hotting up think im gonna suicide my self back to the bubble and charge on over to this site, have some theories i have to test.

So far only a single normal degraded emissions USS
it always takes a lot of time sadly

This may sound like the most ridiculous thing ever (and I doubt it's because of the fact) but, did you have your lights on? Lifeform or lights...
I can't post images right now, but there're reliefs or murals on each side of the wall sections (or pedestal supports..). Need to use debug cam to see the buried sections and look closely. On one side, it looks like an alien, other side, well.. an egyptian with no face (or astronaut helm..). On broad side, a relief resembles ancient egyptian burial ships (or sun boat of ra). I know how it sounds but we have pyramids, ancient urns, caskets and totems here. And uh.. we have pharaoh, horus and apollo skins for asp .
I wonder whether the pyramids on the site points towards Orion. Giza pyramids point towards Orion and the site is roughly halfway between Orion and sol. The site may be from an ancient war where guardians protected humans from invasive species from other galaxies. One of the perimeters even. Maybe?

Have you had confirmation that there are things to be solved - instead of just found.
Finding locations is very nice, but if thats all they are, places to sight-see, then I'm disappointed.
Do you have definitive evidence from the devs that there is more to this than lore and sightseeing?
