Thread 5 lasted 19 days. Thats quick.
Hey, so should we look in to the fact that there are two types of crashed ships in general, not just at the alien crash site? Some have the skid marks and some don't. Maybe there is a correlation to be found? Pulling ships out of witchspace at the right moment migh be one way to lodge the better part of an annie in a planet's surface... This is far fetched though, although it is clear that both variants exist.

3 alien wrecks, listening post finds, other oddities, 2 community goals, no wonder the place is blowing up - science overload

perhaps check USS's around the system for a little bit? maybe something will show up
could be well worth investagating, AI reclis do show up close to black holes similiar to orbiting the ammonia terristrials to get UPs

thousands of UAs pulled jaques out of witchspace when they started singing - reasonance tone maybe
I arrived at night and it was a success! I did not see it in daylight.
I am absolutely sure that it is so! These two rings look like the oldest. The walls, built perhaps later.
All I captured the, by link (lots of pictures) https://goo.gl/photos/U2q5zdppamLogFJX6

Well I tried to land my ASP on the structures, with the right ship, It might work....

Just another theory You could try and see which configuration lets you land !

I think you might want to add some explanations to your numbers, that would help me (at least) understand what you are going about. I Also looked at your pictures and I see alignments but what I don't really see is star patterns. All I know is that a few named stars are in the area, Canis majoris and Betelgeuse. In a way maybe they lived in betelgeuse and when It went into its super giant stage they had to flee. Or they live in a star close by and decided to move out of the future Nova shockwave and something went horribly wrong with their plans.
What bugs me most about the site, is its usage. It looks small, so to me it's an outpost and as it looks fortified, I would say military outpost. If it is one, then It could be the edge of their bubble. Now how to determine the direction to take and the type of stars that they might prefer, that is pure speculation.
If the site is a star map, then for a starfaring species, it would be strange to build a site as a Stone Henge. I have trouble buying this theory as they have computers for that. If its a site for remembering who they where, why so small? and why in one place. If you want to be found one day you build lots of structures (lots of duplicate data), and lots features on the ground so you will be found. You also choose a stable star, like a K start or red dwarf. They live so long that you are sure someone will one day find you.
They don't do that by choosing a F class star that will go super nova in less than 10 billions years and wipe out your site.
Last but not least, a catastrophic event civilisation crash in less than a century with instant loss of FTL, then maybe that could explain the loneliness of the place.

So I am surveying the barnacles found on Pleiades Sector IH-V c2-16 C 4, and one of the locations has a Farragut Battlecruiser directly over the site as well as it being guarded by skimmers from the Pleiades Resource Enterprise. Not sure if this is in part of the Federation making it's presence known in the sector to gather intel on the barnacles, or to prevent commanders from getting the date scans for the sites.
Has anyone figured out the symbols at the bottom of the relic towers that I posted yet? I have tried to make sense of it but I cant find anything that makes sense.
On a sadder note I have officially played patch 2.2 more offline on sites built in the 1990s with decryption algorithms than in the game so far.
They need to add these tools into the game scanners, decoders, cipher tools, chemical/biological analyzers, Email, Notes, and actual game object manipulation.
The puzzles also need to be more interactive. Right now its all or nothing. You either have the answer or you dont. There isnt anything in the game itself to manipulate or study to determine if you are on the right path. There is no testing for your hypothesis in the game. You have to test outside the game and hope your hypothesis works.
All of the answers to these puzzles have been humongous leaps of faith by one person or another. I mean how was it guessed or that we would be decoding a nonogram. Dont get me wrong it was genius, but how did this come to be? Was it stumbled upon due to trial and error? If not then how?
I by no means want instant gratification. I do however want to remain immersed in the game environment.
Think we should create a Canonn post on what scientific tools we need in game and how we think they might work using the current game model? For example non of the tools up until this point can have anything to do with getting out of your ship. Its not implemented yet. Let me know if you think its cool and I can start a thread unless Riz wants to keep an eye on it and start one for the group.

I posted this in the Decoding The Number Stations thread, but I thought it might be worth posting here too.
I found an Unregistered Comms Beacon at Earth's moon. I left my ship parked next to it while I did something else for a while as it was silent. It started transmitting at half past the hour. I didn't have time to transcribe it, but I hit record on Shadowplay and captured it. It lasted for about 10 minutes. Here's the footage.

Could you elaborate?
At first glance I seems you overlayed both structures.
Something I did for a poster in this thread some 200 pages back.
They don't fit without rescaling them.
Ok I took 5 minutes to try your theory:
This is without rescaling anything.
You can see it doesn't fit.
The darker parts are the smaller circle.
Well I tried to land my ASP on the structures, with the right ship, It might work....

1,2,3,4 structure on each image coincide at imposing images. I can not see here an outpost. Perhaps after the disaster survivors arrived here for a long time repaired 2 starship?

Probably it is necessary to change the size? In daylight identity is not so obvious. Light from the top gave a very accurate picture. Yes, I've seen this before, but the lighting hides the details. (For me)Planet with low gravity. It could collect from small pieces of a big ship. (Ark) That explains a lot. According to this there are left the knowledge about language, biology and science. 2 launch pads. A large ship. Second small. Identical technology - unification.

Could it be we should place the orbs etc. in a specific order at this site?

I did attempt this last night with some relics, I lacked the time to be able to try too much on this though - would be interesting to see if a larger group of people could get together to trial and error laying the pieces onto the spaces of the metal tracks around obelisks.
On a side note, I find that the naming of the pieces suggests a religion of sorts. All the praise the mighty Triangle overlords. Maybe its actually the Trigoids ?
Also I agree that the surrounding blocky buildings were built at a different time than the obelisks, although, the textures have similarities on both but the blocky structures have more precision in their placement and state of decay so who knows.
