Good evening, commanders.

I'm currently investigating the ruins and in a creative break I looked, deep in thought, to an activated relic-tower.
I noticed that each of the three sides of such a relic inside a tower has one of the symbols, like the obelisks that can be found in groups all over the area. Just that these three symbols do not change, quite unlike the ones on the obelisks. Perhaps there is a connection here? It is not easy to see the symbols, as the artifacts inside the towers are glowing in a very bright light.

Maybe someone can take a look at this, who has the necessary image processing programs? (Or whatever is necessary to be able to recognize this better, Im not very good at such stuff.)
If someone already noticed this "discovery", I could not find anywhere in this thread something about it.

Forgive my possibly rather bad english, my native language is German.

Look here and here, I guess.
Also, some groups of similar triangles are at the base of supporting columns

I've been looking at the area for a couple hours now with some other players. Many theories about what to do, but we haven't been able to prove any of them yet. What we did find though was that by using the classified camera, you could see that A) There are no underground hidden areas to be uncovered, and B), by looking at the point directly under one of the pillars, you can see not only the relic there, but also what looks to be three black objects in a triangle around it with another one orbiting it. Not sure if it means anything, but interesting nonetheless. [video=youtube_share;ZmHc_oU0fEI]https://youtu.be/ZmHc_oU0fEI[/video]

OK, got back from my work trip the other day, flicked through the front page for updates and some of the posts here... can someone just confirm if I'm up to date? (and help me out with bits marked ???)

- Alien Ruins found in Synafue-somethingorother. I'm there now :p Seems to be a puzzle of some sort to work out.
- A message plays periodically in some probes in Jupiter/Eravate. It's been decoded to the nonogram with the little graphic depicting a system map.
- (???) a message was found (somewhere?) saying "DANGEROUSDANGEROUSDANGEROUSDANGEROUS" repeatedly
- UPs now spawn in Degraded Signal Sources. UAs still in Anomoly Detected.
- Fungoidal life found in the system Jacques is in. Still hate me for UA bombing it? ;) Variety of different things can be found, but they all get shot up for standard mats (???)

Think that's about it. That sound like the dummies guide?

It was already mentioned that at the bases of each monolith/beacon there are signs formed of triangles. These signs consist of one great triangle and several small ones besides it. In my opinion those signs might be templates or something like that as they would cover one half of the hexagon of triangles visible on the relics on top of the monolith. As there are five such signs with four different templates by using them on the hexagon you would receive five sequences from the hexagon (four different). The only problem is how to properly apply the templates and how to interpret the result. When the great triangle covers ten of the triangle places from one half of the relic hexagon it fits quite well. Maybe the positions of the small ones then show the triangles that are important.

By the way the outer walls of the ruins are also roughly of hexagon shape. Just thinking.

The Alliance is rolling now. Look what they called their new base.

Whoa... When that ancient relic popped out of the ground it scared the bejeesus out of me. It's safe in cargo now though...

So I can't help but be reminded of the SAP-8's with their "crystal which seemed to be some sort of map"

Probably unrelated but there's this huge thing.

HIP 40430 only 67LY from the site.

Probably quite visible from the site too, though right now it's on the opposite side.

It's two huge binary O class stars.

As a final constraint to whatever's on the bottom left of that nonogram, if it's braille, it must be limited to the letters/numbers aeiko159 since those are the only braille symbols that have no adjacent dots. Combined with the inconsistent spacing, and the fact that they could have simply nono encoded (! :p) a short string of letters/numbers, it's probably not braille.

That leaves some sort of encoding, probably much like the numerical encoding associated with the EMP audio image from the UP. We still have a piece to find... The more I consider it, the Arecibo format would make sense, if it's not terribly mangled to get it to mean anything.
:D I love this stuff!

Early in the beta, the SOL comms beacon put out the message BETAONLY repeated, which was a code key for a coded message at a local station.

Fair chance any comms beacon putting out a short message like this has an equivalent coded message to decode somewhere.

- Alien Ruins found in Synafue-somethingorother. I'm there now :p Seems to be a puzzle of some sort to work out. Yep, various item findings around the site that might be engineering mats, but probably related to a on-site riddle splitting off into the possible code sequence displayed by the triangle pattern on the active/inactive pillars, various ancient items to pick up with possible significance (keys?), active and inactive towers/ground sites with a visible current (light up when near), also the site itself is intriguing when it comes to layout etc. (likeliness to locations, stations, barnacle symbol etc...) + overall questions about what happened to the site to be in this state on a planet with no atmosphere
- A message plays periodically in some probes in Jupiter/Eravate. It's been decoded to the nonogram with the little graphic depicting a system map. Gateway, caucuma and ??? as well - nonogram might be easiest answer to how FD originally intended to start off the ruin search - possibly multiple ruins to be found by solving (??)
- (???) a message was found (somewhere?) saying "DANGEROUSDANGEROUSDANGEROUSDANGEROUS" repeatedly.
- UPs now spawn in Degraded Signal Sources. UAs still in Anomoly Detected. Confirmed, so far tests at the site with UP/UA have been fruitless though - there is also speculations as to if the probes and artifacts are even connected to the site (obvious differences in appearance) - speculation on parties involved and origin -
- Fungoidal life found in the system Jacques is in. Still hate me for UA bombing it? ;) Variety of different things can be found, but they all get shot up for standard mats (???) hmmm, shroooms..

Ok, tried to keep personal speculation to a minimum, this is that's what i learned from the thread during the last few days. And well, whew, even having followed the it for the last few days i can't help but being overwhelmed by all the numerous approaches, ideas and small discoveries + connected surges of new theories followed up upon and being discarded in about 2-3 posts :D. Fun times. It should hopefully sum up what we are at at the moment though.

Also, Kudos to Rizal for keeping this to up date as good as possible through all this madness.

So I was thinking: why should schematic representations of asteroid belts be opposed to one another (> and <, instead of, say, > and >)? I don't know if there's such thing in game as asteroid retrograde orbits. If there isn't, then, I believe, it would be more symmetrical for them to be the same orientation on the nonogram (because of the structure of the 12th column).

Had to quit, and couldn't wait untill .30mins after the hr, so I'm not sure if it will transmit at all.

Well, that may be what we're looking for, then.

I've just visited Merope 5C and stumbled across a Barnacle. I managed to grab a couple of Meta-Alloys off the larger looking 'buds' and left the rest of the spikes/spires intact:

Are Barnacles still relevant to where the game is currently taking us, regarding alien wrecks and ruins? I find it all ever so fascinating but I'm never quite sure where I should go or what I can do to help out. Can you lot help me out in any way?
Also, are UP and UA's still relevant? Are they still pointing towards Merope 5C? have we figured out the reason for that yet?

I'm wondering if the messages in the bubble are relating to the Formadine Rift. As one of them is around Jupiter, Drew said something on that thread a while back about how the rifters might want a Sol permit soon. Perhaps that beacon was the reason for his comment. Really am struggling to keep up though.
