I would agree with you but, are not the alien ship's crashed in in exactly the same manner and position with the v shaped rubble?
.

Sure. But I think that the shape of the rubble is not as important as the shape of the Ruins :) since it's plausible that the shape of Ruins has a very specific sense - while the v-rubble is just rubble. But you have a point of course.
 
There is not yet any connection between the crashed ships and the ruins. Hence an assumption as yours should be avoided.

I think maybe you misunderstood. I am merely stating that the 3 crashed alien ships are all crashed very similar to each other, therefore it wouldnt surprise me if the ancient ruins were all very similar to one another too.

I am not making any connection between ships and ruins.
 
tl;dr - I think Alpha Target small pad is Gamma Velorum.

Using Mengy's original concept, and Hamelot's more detailed cartographic measurements using coordinates, I measured a bunch of points last night.
Once I had the coordinates recorded, I used the Haversine formula to calculate distances between points.

Sol pyramid to Large Pad was 375.15m. Sol to the ruins is 368.4ly
Large Pad to Small Pad was 806.49m. Ruins to Gamma Velorum is 750.54ly.
Sol Pyramid to Small Pad was 1170.17m. Sol to Gamma Velorum is 1168.8ly

Each calculated distance in metres is within 1%-2% of the distance in light years.
I'm nailing my opinion down at this point.

Very interesting, but your SOL to Gamma Velorum distance is incorrect, it is actually 1116.98ly away, not 1168.8ly, so that’s off by 5%, which is still less than the 7% difference on your Ruins to Gamma Velorum distance. And of course Gamma Velorum is at Z = -133 on the galactic plane, but then my assumption that the walls of the ruins are meant to indicate “same plane” is just that: an assumption. The target systems could very well be anywhere along the galactic Z axis for all we know.

Still, if the ruins were designed with low accuracy in mind and just to point in the general vicinity, Gamma Velorum is a possibility. The fact that it’s a permit locked system is intriquing, and more along the lines of what I was expecting to find when I started this map project.
 
I'm liking the idea of as above, so below, as discussed in "The Orion Mystery". If the large pad isn't the Orion nebula but the LMC (like the barnacle logo), then how does the sky match with that on the other side of the planet? Does the planet rotate so that the location of the ruins can see the LMC? Heck, now I have to travel back ~8000LY just satisfy an itch! :D

I dont know if this helps with mapping or has been mentioned before Regor sector HR-W d1-52 is permit locked too

same plain as Gamma velorum and not too far from it


Edit: actually there are shed loads of locked systems near Gamma Velorum

Edit seems most of the Regor sector locked out

Seems its around the constellation of Vela..

do all the pillar share the same marks?

looks to me like the big marks are the servers and the little marks are the number of columns we should be looking for? maybe only scan those ones?

or maybe they're giving us the number of planets and moons, or stars and planets in a system?

Cmdrs.
this thread is at the moment 443 pages of comments, observations and hard work of deciphering what the alien site is.

I am not a rocket scientist, I am not familiar with ciphers, codes, Stella calculations, astro physics, astronomy , brail, spectrograms or any of the wonderful talents shown by the Cmdrs who have figured out the stage of play we are at.

I am just a simple space Cmdr who does a bit of trading and a bit of exploring, and while I have an interest in crashed ships and the alien base, it seems there is not a hope in hell that my simple brain would even think of some of the answers the community is coming up with to try and solve the puzzle we have before us.

I of course could figure out a simple code like 1=A, 2=B ect.

If this is a puzzle created by Elite Dangerous for the average player to figure out, then it should be aimed at the intelligence level of the average player, if this puzzle needs special tools or ciphers, then they should be supplied or able to be found on the alien site.

Four hundred and forty three pages of comments, countless thousands of hours of searching and complicated thinking and where are we, imho no further than when the ancient base was first discovered.

inho the answer is rearly simple and we all are overthinking this, or Elite Dangerous is deliberately not providing us with the ability to find the clues we need.
Your thoughts please.
Yours aye
Cmdr D38

I believe I've found a new Unregistered Comms Beacon that is not listed on the trello board (https://trello.com/b/H1oOw9QL/satellite-signals-beacons-anomalous-signals-nonogram), which appears to broadcast a cipher key. I've also found some ciphertext in a Herald's Compromised Carrier Signal in the same system, so I presume that I've found a new instance of the quoted type of puzzle.

However, when I enter that previous puzzle's ciphertext ("CJQDVDJ - TRJSBC 1 - LJVOSA - BIKJTBLTVOIGSBVI") and keyword ("GETUMBOYS") on the suggested web tool (http://www.secretcodebreaker.com/keyword.html), I just get gibberish. Since I can't seem to replicate the previous decipherings, I can't figure out how to decode what I've got.

What am I missing?
 
A link to the ruins?

Did you hit Encipher? (not Decipher!)
 
i decided i was a little board....so came out as close to the locked out sector...though there is nothing here per-say there looks to be a locked off mini bubble

i only post this as it seems to be the area some of the mapping work points too...

found somer old posts...

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/85960-REGOR-SECTOR-Blocked-off-for-future-expansion

though until its unlocked i guess its a moot point

edit:

someone mapped it and its a sphere (nearly)

Hi all - sorry, probably being dumb but I'm just updating my book marks. So as I understand it we now have 3 alien crash sites: Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4, HIP 17862 & HIP 17403. My problem is that I couldn't find any mention of HIP 17403 in the OP here (I eventually had to go and dig it's location out from the Lave Radio show notes).

Have I just missed it? (boy those 1st posts are getting pretty confusing now but if someone could point me in the right direction) or has it just not been added yet?
