Edit never mind, mis read post!
At present they aren't good for anything, speculation is future engineer upgrades.

Sell them at the Canonn Institute, no known engineers accept them at the moment.
This photo is mine. Taked from 15G planet.
On a slightly related note to the last couple of posts, I'm switching to my explorer ship that has no cargo space so I can go explore the other potential ruins system.
Is there anyone in the vicinity of Jameson memorial that wants a small collection of ancient "stuff" before I dump it/sell it. Don't think I've got the time to get to the canonn system to sell it myself (limited play time).

Are fields activating obelisks the same? And are they circular or maybe "activation distance" from some directions is different? I am right now in the bubble, so I can't test it, but maybe there is a volunteer who would like to do it?

The more I look around, the more I agree. Looking at the skybox in-game, I'm not seeing that cluster of stars under the red arrow either. It might be glare on my screen that's messing my eyes up or something, but I doubt it. I'm no good at triangulation, but I want to draw more attention to Mengy's post so that someone who really knows their stuff can confirm what Mengy suggested here.
Darn, I was on my way back from Colonia to investigate the ruins, got caught in the cone of a neutron star and my ship blew up
Oh well, at least I'm back in the bubble in time to help with the investigation.
It has occurred to me that the 'arrows' on the ruins align with celestial objects at certain times e.g. When the main line is pointing towards Merope, the two smaller lines are pointing towards other ruins, and this only occurs occasionally. That would be similar to Stonehenge, which only aligns with the sunset during the winter solstice.

Hi guys
Here is a video of the clock under the ruin (saw it on reddit)

For me, its look like a conjonction timer...
Im on the search of a possible second site in COL 173 sector, i spent a few hours inquiring on 3A and 15G, but by scanning all the planets, i think the closest one is *** (sry, i forgot and close the game, will edit) (maybe 9A), because its variable are the system's closest from the first acient base's planet (0.13G, 300K°).
The closest to thosse values is 9A, with 0.13G and 277 K°.
That's maybe a wrong way, but it looks correct to search same condition for same specy
(sry for my eng, im french !!)
EDITED i mean planet 9A, not 5A, doesnt even exist
Im sure they are bits that are attached to the relics, lil bits that should have been deleted but wernt so not spin with the relic.
On the subject of whom the tech belongs to, there is a precident for Frontier sticking to the original shapes (more or less) from the original games, there isn't a whole lot in the shapes to point to Thargoids, but there is a large amount of historical reference to the use of triangles in human past. The more I think about it, the more I'm going with a human/alien hybrid tech.
Can anyone tell me why should we seek on 3A planet? Flying around it. Nothing yet. Can't get similar sky picture with trailer.
i think those 2 bright spots in the yellow circle are suns in the same system. the other stuff in the green circle and what the red arrow is pointing at are gas giants with a couple of moons. tldr: wrong system.
Okay, 15G would make more sense given the video. So why are lots of commanders scouring 3A then? :S
I don't think that you're bad.
For me it looks like that there is a gas giant with moons AND the star cluster in the background.
Keep going Commander!
Someone early on suggested 3A, but I don't remember why. What I don't understand is why 15G would make more sense than 15-anything-else. Right now I'm on 15D because I figured there would be more moons available in the skybox view on a inner-orbit moon. The skybox looks just about as good as the skybox on 15G, in my unqualified opinion, haha. How can we narrow this down further?
Edit to add that the color of 15D's surface might be wrong, so that's one clue. But it's hard to say...

----------I appear to have managed to cause a change in obelisk activation in the Canonn PG.----------
Here is the sequence I went through. With every monolith/pillar activated except for monolith 2 I scanned zone two and then zone three. Proceeded to monolith two and raised it and then returned to zone three. The northern area of zone 3 had a different obelisk lit up though the southern obelisk was the same. I proceeded to zone 2 and a different obelisk was activated there.
Note: The instance was not a fresh instance to begin with and because there were other commanders in the instance I can't say for certain there wasn't another instance that occurred that caused the change. I will say I moved quite quickly.
I will attempt to repeat this in solo in a fresh instance but for the time being I present this to you all to keep in mind there might be a relation between the monoliths and the obelisks activation.
EDIT 1: After starting in solo and trying to repeat the process as best I could I am unable to replicate the results. This was with the default obelisks activated which different than the conditions of the Canonn PG where the default obelisks were not activated. This will make this difficult to replicate as we are unsure what caused the obelisks to change in the first place.
I'd still advise watching for interactions/changes with monoliths and obelisks. I will continue to attempt to duplicate these results and am hoping that it was not just a glitch.

I noticed a glint of a pattern on the side of an Ancient Relic, so I did a bit of manipulation on the image (edge-enhance, desaturate, curve adjustment).
Hopefully it's brought the pattern out a bit better.
I tried this with 3 different Ancient Relics and they all had the same design/layout.
I see a similarity with the sequences on the data "servers" when they're being scanned.
