Questions.
when you raid a fresh instance of the site how many items are there to collect?
Is it always the same amount and is it always the same amount of each item every time?

Martuuk, Quent and Palin are probably the best candidates. They have the interest, the connections and the materials.

Lori Jameson(!!) might be a candidate, she does Utility and Scanner tech.

She wants.... Kongga Ale. [haha]

Or Bill Turner from Alioth who deals in Plasma Accelerators and Utility items?

Oh, I can see that...

Right, I have been flying around Asterope for the last two hours, even went out as far as Asterope B & C... Surely if there were a signal source to spawn it would have done so by now?

I have had one degraded emission signal source and that's it.

I'm starting to doubt whether it's in the game at all. There's only so many places it could be in this system based on where the Cobra is. I must have come within range of the USS by now.

That's assuming it's even a USS and FD want to make us randomly drop out of SC into it instead...

only a few hours and
space is big very BIG it will take more than 1 man to find it

Can I just check, when you guys are talking about ancient relics, is that a catch all phrase for the different items that are at the site? So far I've found a couple of ancient tablets, an ancient orb and and an ancient casket. The last two have me a little concerned since they're now in the hold of my ship. I'm not all that keen on the idea of an undead alien hatching out of the casket in the cargo hold while I'm off exploring outside...

Yo.Micheal...urr..any hints on what to do next?

It must be something to do with The Ruins so keep an eye on all your environmental sensors (like wave scanner on SRV).

For example - after you collect a few ancient artifacts and some "Ancient Civilization Data" all signals (except for "Ancient Beacons") disappear on wave scanner.

Yeah cause that would really work wouldn't it. Maybe you were around for the UAs maybe you weren't, maybe you were around for the barnacles maybe you weren't, maybe you were around for the UPs maybe you weren't. Every single time as soon as a discovery is made there's always a couple of people who demand to know what's next, is there more to find, where should we look, why don't you give us a clue.

Do you expect the Devs to hand hold us all the way through? It couldn't possibly work. Say there's 3 stages to a mystery, as soon as we solve the first stage through badgering FD say no there's still more to solve, solve the second and the same thing, solve the third and then they say nope that's it now until the next patch. Everyone (casual) gives up and moves onto something else, only interested in the new things and missing out on potential links between the things we have discovered already.

Do the UAs serve a greater purpose or are they haphazardly scanning and transmitting our ship details?
Do the barnacles serve a greater purpose or are they just for harvesting materials and Meta-Alloys?
What purpose do the UPs serve?

Still plenty to answer and many more besides, though you only seem to be interested in new shiny things.

Actually, i'm nowhere near the level of nerd some of you lot are, and would never commit hundreds of hours into a puzzle that might not even be in the game yet.

It could be all for nothing. All thats been achieved so far is that new locations have been discovered. I figured this time the site may have a secret to be unlocked, which maybe leads to an underground alien city/ruin or some new clues to a different system that leads to contact with aliens.

In reality all that happens is the devs patch the game and add in a 'mysterious' location, then we find it. Rinse and repeat.

Strictly speaking Ancient Relic is a specific item found on the Ancient site at the <redacted>...

Go mooch around some more. :)
