Was playing with The name Caine Massey to keep me occupied at lunch. Whilst I didn't see anything earth shattering, you can make the words 'enemy', 'nemesis' and 'maia' (not all together of course.

Saying that, you can also get 'aa icy semen'! So maybe the anagram route isn't that useful ;o)

Well, been all around the Relic site, scanning, rolling the Rover like a total noob, checking the monoliths etc. After two hours I cannot reproduce the extra monolith coming online. Even shot the wingy bits off each of the towers without messing up the Ancient relic but without any results. Normally I have to reset or log out after a little while due to 2.2 suddenly dropping my frame rates from 100 fps to about 10 when planet surfaces are involved but I was lucky in this case. Or unlucky. I am however still convinced that scanning the Obelisks in a particular order or doing something else is the key to this place.

It sure is pretty out here tho.

So what's the bet Caine Massey dug up something and are trying to transport these "things" back, but are hunted by the aliens because they are either attracted by them or guarding them.

I started to look at the obelisk pattern, and to me it looks that the animated pattern is always the same,
irrelevant of what data (alpha,beta,gamma,delta,eps) the scan provides.

Has anyone seen a difference or am I right ? (I tend to be carefull not to miss stuff like this
when attacking a problem, so I prefer to ask dumb questions at the start...)

I must say that if (likely) the pattern is indeed a puzzle, it is a rather challenging one XD.

No you're right. I did some extensive research and concluded this a while ago. I gave a video I took to Cmdr Chris who turned it into a Json dump and then an editable webpage where you can mess around with the sequence. I'm on mobile so can't find it easily but if you search for his posts you find it.

@riz I meant to say for a whole, but would it be worth removing Vall's research on the front page as my research disproved it? And if you can find Chris's second post with the webpage link that would be a great addition :)

This one? :)

And:

1) Did you ever wonder why the most of the structures are below ground/covered by earth and the black structures are not? This leads me to the assumption that the black structures were possibly built after the original site. If all of this would have been built at the same time, all of it should be underground/covered. But why are the black structures totally clean? Not a bit of dust on them (except for the few "submerged" ones or the antennas (why are they underground?)). Are the ruins actually older than the black structures?
2) Is it only me or do the relics look like they could fit together? Urn on Casket, Orb on Totem and so on. Could be a coincidence due to the triangular form of course. I tried to bring them together but they didn't "click" into each other. At least not down on the surface.
3) Totem...Orb...Urn...Casket...to me it sounds like these relics are part of some kind of ritual - the relic names make me think of the Mayan civilisation or so. The black walls along the outside of the site also look similar to Mayan/Aztec drawings when you look a them from the side.

If this helps, I'm glad. Maybe it was already stated, but I hope not :)

If you'd be doing that as a company would you use crates with huge logos pointing back towards you? Follow up question - is there a manufacturer of cargo racks stated somewhere?

You would if you wanted it to look like everything else you were transporting.

Abondoned alien research base.

Hi CMDR's i found this research base in star system: HR 5991 after scanning some listening posts and triangulate the positione. It is located on the second moon of first planet (HR 5991 1b) lat 33.47, long -2.17. You can find there some damaged abondoned base. There is data link there with some corrupted data and also the strange message: Part 1.„ It was there a few days ago I swear. Doctor Lewis said I'm lucky ot to be fired for dragging them all out here. But it was right here, the proof that they exist. Someone must be messing with me . There is no way taht much data can be corrupted without leaving a trace. This can't be right. There seems to be a signal hidden in the corrupted data. I didn't see it before, and if the data hadn't been ruined I mignt never have seen it... Part.2 I found It, they'll all think I'm crazy but I found it. It's definitely not a natural signal or background noise. I've run evey test I can thinik of and they all confirm it's not natural or humain in origin. .. Part 3. I did it, I told Doctor Lewis and this time I had a proof. Everyone seened really excited about it. Doctor Levis is sending speciial report to command.... Part 4 Cleaner team 26 reporting in. Company Directive 3650 in effect. All data regarding research project under Doctor Lewis is now classified. Al assets have been processed.
Also there are some strange sounds being heard there. Maybe this is this signal. I was unable to find out more, maybe You will.

Cant find it, just some little mining operation certainly not abandoned, no scrrenshots you posted have the co-ordinates displayed, what are the exact co-ords? 33.47 (is the 47 before or after any 0's after the dot) same with Long.

There is a little mining facillity with 2 skimmers and turrets, couldnt kill the turrets in my Python, dunno why they justs didnt die, brought my hull down to 19% though, so i left, the co-ords did match what you posted 33.478978 2.17683.

Though it looked nothing like the screenshots you posted.

Hehe, you do have some goodun's and the best thing is that I started my musings along those lines on exactly the same day (cue x-files music)

The 2 questions that need to be asked are:

Are you on Xbox or PC?

Is Hussar on Xbox or PC?

*Edit* Sorry how terribly rude of me not to publicly thank Erid and Glastinghouse for finding that link so quickly :)

@Riz

Has anyone checked to see if UAs do morse for the fighters? For that matter have we checked to see if the relics from the ruins have any effect on the UA when it scans you?

I can fumble through audacity and get some recordings if someone with UA deciphering ability can listen to it. I've always had trouble the UA side of it for some reason.

They will scan your fighter, yes. That's how I surveyed them last night at Crash Site 3.

As the structures (like Obelisks) are still active, it might be assumed that they (at least partialy) run on electric current. This might cause static electicity surrounding it, which would charge the particles so that they repell each other. Hence no agglomeration of dust in that areas....
Click to expand...

Yes that is possible. But what about the structures that are attached to the outer wall? They don't seem to use electric power.
Did someone already use an EMP on the site? (Someone mentioned it before I think) Why not powering the ruins down instead of up? I had the thought because the Obelisks "power down" when you scan them.

CMDR Chris editable webpage is on the FrontPage since day one, right after Vall's research you asked me to remove... ;)

I can't help wondering if the puzzles that were designed to lead up to the discovery of the ruins would have given us some hint that would have helped us solve the mysteries of the ruins more quickly.

E.g. if the recent spate of system maps that have been encoded in a number of ways were originally intended to lead to the ruins, one might focus more effort on attempting to decode the ruins as a system map (e.g. looks like a binary system).

Then I humbly apologise sir, I had a quick look on my phone when I sent the message earlier and did not realise you had updated the link. For shame!

Dunno if anyone's brought it over to this thread yet, but I earlier suggested in the Discord that the glyphs on the relics/data towers could be a 2D representation of a 3D structure. That is, a flattened cube.
