Now I see nothing in the first posts about the alien crash sites or the ancient ruins whatsoever. I feel like I'm missing out on some in-joke here?

Edit: annnnd it's back again - what the hell is going on?

Incidentally, re: the "lazy commanders" jibe ... not quite sure how to take that. First you constantly remind people that they should check the first post and then when I do check the first post and report that something as vital as the location of a crashed alien ship is missing from it you suggest I'm being lazy.

The alien wreckages location have always been there on the FP, in chronological order. From time to time I try to reorganize things best then I can.
I've now collected them on top for simplicity, but they are still there were they were yesterday.
The rest was a simple innocent joke from me. No harm intended ;)

Try to imagine not having the FP for a moment.
Given the number of posts, and informations going around these threads, it is very hard to keep track of everything in an organized way, while trying to not miss too much of real life. So a little effort is still needed from you CMDRs while trying to find things on the FP: remember it is still easier than finding them among 100.000 posts ;)

Does this look like an explosion to you?

I was Looking over the Alien Ruin Site on Synuefe XR-H D11-102 using software to trace out possible sub surface features. I ran across what looked like a series of columns under the pyramid to the east of the main circular pad. After looking through different possible grids, I noticed how they were not lining up as you would expect. These columns seem to have been displaced some time in the past. As I pulled out I saw how the dispersal pattern looked to be coming from the collapsed circular pad. It's hard to tell if this was an internal explosion of something external hitting the structure.

Your thoughts?

and I bet:


CMDR 1: "Guys guys!!! Look it's doing it again! 2 active obelisks at the same time!!!"
CMDR 2: "Nobody moves! Everybody stay where you are! Who did what? We have to figure it out this time."
CMDR 3: "It wasn't me! I did not touch anything!"
CMDR 4: ....

It is possible that the quick discovery of the ruins has caught FD off guard, and don't have the next stage in place yet (encoded at the ruins). There's also the chance that FD are letting see how this runs and uses what is said here as further ideas to put in game. But something deep down says that the next step is already waiting for discovery, I just wish it was a little more accessible to the casual/average player. But, heck, what this community has achieved so far with this mystery is inspiring nonetheless! :)

I think it is likely that
a) the progression of the events are staged and separated by time, for example the nonogram and having to wait for the transmission that allowed it to be finally solved
b) fdev after monitoring progression in the community and deciding when to release next parts of the puzzle
c) both of the above. In both cases it's a question of waiting for more clues to materialise

Whether there is a grand story or it is being made on the fly I don't know.

But whatever it is, this type of emergent story is very exciting/interesting :)

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)

It seems to me like a cordon around barnards loop. The question is why.
When they were first locked off I could get in to barnards loop easily but it's harder now.
I can't help but wonder if the large pad is barnards loop and Orion. The walls are the locked systems
The lower small pad is witches head because the cordon goes around that.
The question is what does it mean.

It was not missing. It was present but you didn't spot it. Just like the person I replied to two days ago.

Definitely agree about the logo.
Maybe it shows a way in or maybe the unknown permit is in the ruins.
Wish I could get more playtime ��

I feel like an MB hint is needed about now.

only thing i can think of is there are 3 sides if each side had a max of 8 triangles there would be 24 smaller triangles....possible 24 base language? (its likely more but Brain hurts)
Click to expand...

maybe the lights show active bases and each set is a system or region of space etc....

on another note.
the fact we can scan the towers like we can data points makes me think it's more like a storage system, maybe it's an already extinct and the towers are data storage of there History Tech achievements etc.
and maybe even clues to who killed them or what happened to them.

could also be number sequence on there too.

too expand the "letters" may only be the slopes of the triangle the rear vertical axis is always clear....would reduce number of combinations....

coul in theory be read upside down as read from where the slopes point.


looking at the images again could be 10 per side...

I can't prove it right now (next time I'll take screnshots) but I swear that information was missing (I know what that section looks like, I've read it often enough). Before I sent my request I checked the first couple of pages 3 or 4 times. I even checked all the post numbers to make sure they were consecutive and that a post hadn't got lost across the page boundary. Then I decided perhaps my iPad browser was clipping it so I booted my PC and double checked it there too. Can't say I appreciate the grief I'm getting over a simple enquiry about information.

A very good point, but I am not entirely sure that this telescope isn't tracking as the ball it is mounted on appears to have rotation in any axis and the 'bars' on the front are not aligned vertically or horizontally but at an odd angle which might suggest it has been tracking???

There are plenty of other faster moving objects at the Research facility such as the 'radar' like object and two antennas on a tall mast.

Of course it may not be tracking at all in which case your sky arc point is very good thinking well worthy of a biscuit or two [big grin]

I have also added an arrow and circle around the red nebula if it makes it easier to spot and ID

If you take another couple of pix of the telescope view, each separated by a couple of hours, then overlay them, if the telescope is tracking then the view will not have changed (assuming a reasonable planetary rotation period)
