This is from the site. It looks familiar to me but I cant quite place it. Like the box art from a 1980's game or maybe something in-game from that time?? Any Elite lore races depicted like this that anyone has seen??

...can't seem to upload images atm.

It just looks wrong to me. With the Nebula as the focus, the COL needs to strafe right and up, possibly backwards too.

The four stars to the lower left of the Nebula could be laid over the other picture & vice versa, to get a gauge on corrections.
 
I'm still sure it's more likely 15G than 3A.

Curious why you think that...I was searching that a bit yesterday but it has a less-saturated brown texture than what was in the video, and the sky map was super bright no matter what. I know a lot of that can probably be explained away by the bad video quality from Elite Meet, or even a possible change in color from 2.1 > 2.2 (honestly wish I would've screenshotted every planet beforehand)...but the color just doesn't look right to me. Definitely think it's worth looking through these other planets though just in case.
 
Trying to reach folks @ FDev out about if they altered the placement since the Elite Meet clip or not. Will keep you updated.

I think it is a fairly safe question for Frontier to answer, but not something they really have to answer as they never really released that trailer to the open public.
But you need to be more specific than that. Because moving the Ruins to a new planet in the same system would technically be altering the placement.

The question is "Are there still Ruins in the system shown at Elite meet?"

What I am worried about, and hopefully Michael could ease my fears, is that there may have been a vital piece of information in the original plan that would be used to locate more sites and it is now lost because we found the site another way.
 
I haven't read the thread or kept up to date with Cannon's work so don't shoot me, only following a friend's advise and passing this on...

I'm currently near the witch head nebula and tons of systems are permit locked, not in the witch head sector but on its fringe, a col sector.
I have been there before and don't remember seeing so many locked systems.

COL 70 SECTOR

Those have been permit locked for a while (since 2.1 at least).

As Ambassador I can ask kind of questions like that. Was in Japan during the last liteMeet but I would've participated anyway if not. We'll see. Hang on!

I have to say, you guys and gals are impressive. Thinking and trying things I never would have considered. Good on you.

Thanks Commander! The community of Elite is simply breathtaking.
 
Extended Video and Audio sample for pattern analysis.
I ran it through the audio spectrum analyzer but I did not record that. However it does look like some sort of script or symbols are in the bottom portion of the graph. It looks like backwards cursive English. I swear one of them looks like the name Erimus spelled backwards. Anyone know if he is out on tour maybe he has some questions to answer? lol ;)

Aye could well be.

Though I suppose only if it is on a timer.

15 mins so far, no change.

I see there is another SRV around.. Could other players have un/triggered something in their various activities ?

But I think it's something important that those two can light up at the same time. I didn't know they could. Who knows what else can be activated. We need to find the pattern. It looks too obvious for all this not to have some sort of pattern.
 
This seems to be a new graphical bug. I have gotten this same thing 1000 lys or more toward the core. It just seems random and it goes away once the texture loads for the surrounding areas. I am sure its just a little patch glitch that made it through.

Here's the thing, 3A (the prospective site of the ruins shown at Elite Meet) is 1/3 the size of the planet holding the ruins from the official trailer. There are currently over 30 commanders actively scouring the surface, myself included. It's been 24hrs with no siting, and yet xDeath was able to singlehandedly find the first ruins on a planet 3x the size of 3A within several hours.

The lighting and surface features of 3A are the best in-system match to the Elite Meet footage. Now there are many landable rocks in the system, so I'll continue look, but at this point I'm convinced they moved the ruins.

Another Commander found it 10 mins after I did, prior to me posting Co-ordinates. So that makes at least 2 CMDRs that found the site on a planet 3x the size of 3A.

I've also spent a couple hours in the system(COL 173 blah blah blah) myself, and I am leaning on it not being there(not 100% certain mind you, but at least 75%). Which is a shame as n o o d l z put just as much effort as I did if not more and walks away with nothing.
 
not sure about your facts. radiation mostly will kill electronics over time. things we put on the moon will be there long after human go extinct.

Pretty much. The craters we see on our own moon are many millions of years old and are from the time of the great bombardment. The moon gets absolutely blasted with radiation and the only thing that really alters anything on the surface of the moon is getting whacked by more incoming meteorsand micro-meteors. Unless something hits it, the Apollo lander will be there for a very long time.
The remains on that planet could be 100s of thousands, or millions of years old. It does looks weathered, so it could have been like Mars and been habitable with an atmosphere, then lost it.

Yep absolutely.

Been watching this thing for 35 mins now no change, I am thinking this is not just on a timer, I will continue to observe.
 
I would be careful about judging which moon/planet in COl 173 has the structure from the elite meet teaser as the colours are oversaturated. It is the same structure as shown at 0:21 in the Guardians trailer (same footage) and the moon appears more grey/brown than in the elite meet teaser where it appears yellow/red.

Was anyone searching 3A roughly 5 days ago, when it's position more closely resembled the elite meet footage and its dark side was lit?
