Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

[Arguendo]

a crashed nav beacon not far from the site makes a strange noise. can t record atm so maybee its a good idea, its no longer the white noise of 2.1

That seems to be a persistant POI, as it was reported by another cmdr in my instance on the first day as well. I saw the POI as well when flying above the site, but didn't check it out however. A thorough investigation of it would be pertinent I think. I can't do it since I am away until Tuesday

Another thing, would people be willing to gather "in force" on Tuesday evening BST? I would like to gather enough cmdrs to "light up" all the obelikses and all the artifact sites at the same time. Whatever happens next would be decided on the spot I guess, but it would atleast give the opportunity to get a overview picture when all the spots are lighted.
Any takers?

See you in solo, cmdr.

No. No you won't

Archeological research is fine. Grave robbing is not. Sacra Oculus deeply disapproves the removal of caskets or urns. An Edict is in place and independent Commanders have our Blessings to destroy all who pillage the abandoned base. I reiterate, archeological research is fine, grave robbing is not.

In character:
You did nothing to help find the system or the site, nor are you helping with the research. You do not get to dictate what this site is and is not.

I willingly gave the location of the site out for all to come and participate in research, not so you could wave your hardpoints around with a false sense of righteous superiority.
It goes without saying that you have probably broken your own edicts to just score an easy kill.

Get away from my site, you are not wanted.


OOC: Caskets and Urns are not exclusively related to the dead. It makes you look stupid using that as your entire hitch that this is a grave site. SECOND they are called caskets and urns because of what they look like to humans. What makes you think aliens have the same funeral/burial rituals and objects as humans. Try harder next time.

I'm on Xbox but I am down for whatever. Again I am wanting to interact with the obelisks while carrying relics. And I am guessing that they are encouraging a mechanic that absolutely requires co-operation. That would be a great thing and allow other CDRs to experience a thing even if they missed the first time. Way cooler than just a crashed thing to look at

I'm just admittedly a little salty that I know I'll never get to discover such things myself ._.

I have been the first to discover 100s of objects ( stars , planets , moons etc)..........would be a little hard to generate enough unique features like ancient ruins for every player to find some first.......save your salt,

what gets me conflicted is trying to read all this thread and thus not getting any actual game time in! (have an asp full of artifacts though........they don't appear to be that valuable, but a thrill to collect nonetheless)

Someone pop a heatsink because that was a SICK BURN. Nice RP ;o)

Solo it is ! ... again... we can't find anything without those ********* spoiling the fun. I still remember the Barnacle campaign turning sour... I want to enjoy the scenery without having to deal with some d*****ss gamer's daddy issues.

Too bad..... Too bad for the game.

According to the beacons wich send the numbers: x-ray and yankee stand for x/y due to military alphabet. So the numbers therefore could represent x/y-coordinates for a Planet (obviously 4c)

Just been to the site, not sure if mentioned but i see one guy says he thinks the top circle is a landing pad, tbh i think the whole structure is a landing pad due to the interlocks on the structures in and around the place, also those relic posts maybe some sort of refueling stations and the obelisks some sort of ammunition (that might be a bit to much) who knows. But i deffinatly think those a locking structures you can see how they open and close and how they would lock something in place.

Somebody mentioned upthread about taking artefacts to a neutron star. Well, there is one in the Orion Nebula - Parenago 2149. Given that the site seems to represent this region of space, is there anyone willing to give it a go? (I'm out there at the moment, but haven't been to the ruin site yet. Having some trouble navigating back around all the locked systems in col 70) Took this screenie of the nebula

And the position of the brighter stars and nebulae does seem to mirror the locations of the various items at the site as per the previously supplied map

I on my way out there right now with a hold full of goodies from the site. Just passed through Witch Head Nebula, will let you know.

Here is a picture of the nebula from the Ruins Systems point of view.

It doesn't line up, and your shot isn't even from the system POV.

That was actually the first thing I did in my asp, spotted the large circular structure and thought to myself what a perfect place for a landing pad.
The Asp X is just the right size as well.

The site reminds me of a futuristic "ancient" Stonehenge, some kind of celestial temple perhaps or maybe a long abandoned Starkiller base.

The site really is enigmatic and fascinating.

 

[ultimateharold]

Burial ground?

Also. Is anyone there now or is instancing playing up?

Turban pop into Mobius, saw around twelve players there, and no a**hats. Had a great time exploring with the group.

Will probably do, hoping there aren't too many bad apples..

Hey guys, quick call for confirmation, i read a few pages earlier that people are having trouble with scooping UP's around AW.. Was anyone able to scoop a UP after yesterdays hotfix? I'm currently sitting on my favorite gathering spot and haven't even gotten any SS to spawn on me in the last 45mins here. For clarification the last time i scooped one here was yesterday before the hotfix, and i do currently carry a hold full of a collection of ancient findings from the site - which is likely totally unrelated. I'd just like to find out if it's a 'local' problem/maybe a tech. issue, or maybe related to the new spawn in degraded emissions - if someone else had no trouble at all (maybe you even had relics with you?).
