side thought has anyone combined the biological data scans with unknown fragments in their hold and see if there is any difference in signal
Must've missed my second post (quoted above by dynamicbob). I'm trying to gain rep with Sirius Corporation, and black market sales are a really fast way to do that (normally). However, it seems like they've taken a whack with the nerf stick since 2.2
After scanning the main datapoint in the settlement, the settlement is shown in my Nav Tab.
It is not shown in system map. Sometimes I have to log out/login to make it showing up in the nav panel.
In general, these PoIs are really disappointing for me. I did researches at 5 PoIs marked from listening posts and I'm on my way to a 6th one.
At all of those, I had more questions brought up after I found them, but for none of them, I found answers.
For Dav's hope, I read from some commanders who found a temporary PoI with the entrance to shaft 48. Myself, I was not able to verify it.
Temporary PoIs seem to be quite difficult to search. I left Dav's hope for my search and was more than 15km away from the settlement. When I came back, there was a new temporary one right next to the settlement. So I did a test and went away more than 15km again from settlement and when I came back, the temp. PoI was gone. I was in my ship all the time and I did not switch instance.
If this is the usual behavior of the temp. PoIs, it is nearly impossible to do a search for it, because it may spawn right behind you.

and anyway it seems to take 3x as many UAs to have the same impact post 2.2 which is another factor making it harder to close stations out
That and lot of other things it would appear.Must've missed my second post (quoted above by dynamicbob). I'm trying to gain rep with Sirius Corporation, and black market sales are a really fast way to do that (normally). However, it seems like they've taken a whack with the nerf stick since 2.2

i was thinking more along the lines of some sort of unknown fragment interplay when scanning the biological data obselik (or even scanning it with a UP and a UA in the srv cargo hold)
Actually, ELWs orbiting A stars on the lower end of the luminosity scale (say, A7 to A9) aren't massively uncommon. Perhaps not as frequent as class F stars, but they do form a large portion of the ELWs known on CMDR Marx's list (maybe about as many as class G stars).

Yep. I was one of the many who did. There are very distinct pressure marks around the "landing pad" and the rest of the site.
I respect and appreciate the work Mengy has done, I agree with the rest of this post too.
My theory is the entire site is one landing pad for one really large ship - which would make sense on a low g planet with no atmosphere. (Apologies if this was what stated before.)
I too think it's a landing pad(s) site, complete with locking clamps on the pads.
Ok, so I found this but due to the old SRV falling through the floor bug I never got to see what it was properly. Check the cargo can. Can anyone let me know if they've seen it before.
The long, and boring, vid. It will take a while to upload however

Tehehehe.
I tried this deliberately nearly 2 weeks ago but nothing happened so I did not post it.
I wondered how long it would take for someone else to do it
+1 Sir! o7

Yes it's a material. Common in the settlements, lying around
Lots of talk about Generation Ships on the last few pages. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this:
The most famous Generation Ship in the Elite game franchise was the Mayflower 97. It was mentioned in the Frontier: First Encounters journals which can no longer be taken as being 100% canon lore. Here's the text from the FFE journal:
I am not near the bubble right now. Maybe someone who is near the bubble could pop over to Tau Ceti and see if there are any tourist beacons referencing the ill-fated voyage?
The most famous Generation Ship in the Elite game franchise was the Mayflower 97. It was mentioned in the Frontier: First Encounters journals which can no longer be taken as being 100% canon lore. Here's the text from the FFE journal:
Astronomers using Excessively Long Baseline Interferometry (ELBI) to conduct a survey of distant radio sources believe that they may have detected the “Mayflower 97” slower-than-light colony ship, which was launched from orbit around Luna in 2097.
ELBI remains a somewhat inexact science, because receiving stations are placed so far apart that considerations of simultaneity become an issue in interpreting the results, but the patterns received by the Distant Radio Survey group do indeed appear to show radio emissions characteristic of a Bussard ramjet moving with a relativistic velocity of almost 60% of the speed of light. The “Mayflower 97” carried nearly a thousand passengers and crew, plus domestic animals and extensive gene banks to aid in the colonization of Earth-like worlds which were presumed to exist around nearby stars.
Archaeological evidence suggests that it did indeed successfully reach its first port of call at Tau Ceti, but the fate of both ship and crew thereafter was unknown until now.
The ship’s tremendous speed in real space makes it impractical to attempt a rendezvous, so the “Mayflower” will presumably be left to continue on its way, bearing with it any descendants of its original complement.

I've been thinking (dangerous i know) but with the idea floating about that the site is potentially a landing pad for a large ship. some of the comments made in the live streams by the Frontier staff were along the lines of "we are surprised that the "biggest" thing in 2.2 hasnt been found yet, now whether this refers to the ruins per se or indeed a large ship / settlement no one other than them knows personally speaking it feels like the ruins and the items on their and the CG which was related to the new Engineer was to bring in some new engineer modules we will need further down the road. I remember seeing 2.4 title as "the Truth" and reference to some secrets being revealed personally speaking I dont think we will get the "end content" before 2.4 as things like the winter is coming, and the "The Truth" title for 2.4 were all pretty muuch prior to the delay in 2.2 release so if there is still the biggest thing to be found in 2.2 then I dont think we will get to the bottom of the story completely until 2.4 which means more awesome stuff to work on.
I believe the "big thing" in 2.2 is really this: (asked after the initial video release of the gamescom "destroyed-cobra-moving-alien-ship")
No this is a 2.2 thing. There is something coming before then though - the hunt on the 28th might be more interesting than you think

I can't read it other than: "We can encounter them in 2.2".

Seeing as how my map theory doesn't seem to be pointing to anything interesting, I'd tend to agree. Still, the one thing that greatly bothers me is that distance between the center of the large pad to the peak of the north pyramid: 368m, while the distance between the ruins system and Sol is also 368.4ly. That one to one ratio just sticks in my craw, and seeing how the rest of the ruins seem to be very deliberately designed the way it is, that measurement being a great coincidence just seems terribly unlikely to me.
Hopefully the puzzle will become more clear as we get more information and figure more of the ruins out. For now though my theory is just a curiosity more than a tool we can use IMHO.
