Thanks commander, I'm heading back out that way, was there the day it got discovered and have since left it alone, but looks interesting to me
Had seen your work on the telescope and hadn't realised you were talking about the same place

Well, the moon is tidally locked, so on it's orbit of 0.3 days, surly if it passes over the ruins the same part would always end up pointing at the ruins? - and because the parent planet has a weird very slow reversed orbit, it would pass over it more often than its 0.3 day orbit? (i'm gonna have a quick look but tbh i probably wont find anything cause i have no idea what i'm doing)
Edit:
Oh hang on, i didn't take orbital plains into account :/ (and didnt think to look either)
Edit edit:
Noope, just ignore me... i'm talking rubbish and completely misreading the planetary information panels.

Not supposition. Bit about power comes from Drew Wagar, in an interview. Can't find my link, but i'm sure someone else here heard the same interview!

As far as I am aware Drew is not driving this FD is?
Hey peeps, not sure if you guys have solved the Ancient Ruins thing, but I was having a gander at the images and filling in some of the dirt mounds to see if they came up with any images (as I think they've been largely ignored in favor of the beacons, triangle pillars, etc.).
Once I began filling in the bottom and middle (in pink lines), I thought it looked very much like an Unknown Artefact.
I also took a look at Barnard's Loop - and came across both the Running Man Nebula - and seeing all those stars shooting out of it made me think of the top half of the Ancient Ruins, the bit with the massive spoke coming out of the left (or right, depending on your angle).
I'm now wondering if the Running Man Nebula is, perhaps, a line of defence or a staging ground for aliens. Most of those planets are M-Class, then plenty of K-Class, but there are G-Class and then some A's and B's scattered hand-fully inside and outside. The Barnicles were discovered in M or K Class systems, correct? I know they are cold, but Earth-like, Water Worlds and Ammonia type planets can exist in those, they just have to be a lot closer, or have other warmer stars as binary or trinary star systems.
I'll be heading down there this evening and taking a look - what do you guys reckon?
I don't think the Ancient Ruins have anything to do with Sol - they could be millions or billions of years old, and if built on an airless rock, will last an eternity - could this be an ancient warning from a threat that is really billions of years old? Humanity in Elite haven't been around for very long - could these aliens be a product from since the birth of the Galaxy when our star was yet to form from the gaseous explosion of a Nebula way-back-when?

The crashed alien ship and ruins don't look alike. The ships look organic but the ruins (in my opinion) don't.
Speaking of the artifacts-I noticed that they glow when approached (as does the ground near one of the triangles where the artifact has moved). I dropped a couple (orb and totem) outside of the site and they continued to glow. Not sure if it was one or the other or both as only realised this when reviewing some overhead pictures that were taken of site and they can be seen glowing. Are they power sources? I think it has been mentioned that the site might be a giant puzzle.
There are also the triangular markings on the pylons that appear out of the ground from the few pictures I took it appears these may be different for each pylon. I need to go back and check each side.

Nobody said he was driving anything. I reiterated what he was reiterating from his current involvement with FD
Anyone thought the alien ruins site might be like "stonehenge" certain areas pointing to stars or constellations even nebulae? (theres a spot on the upper landing pad which points straight to pleiades nebula)

A valid idea, especially as one on the galnet news articles mention a treaty between the empire an the Federation that limits the size of capital ships, why mention that if something bigger, meaner than anything the superpowers have isn't going to show up and cause a whole bucket load of fun.

From reading his articles and his live posts I don't believe he has anything to do with the 'Alien' stuff we are finding. Drew is involved in the Formadine Rift mystery and has an input in other areas but I don't believe he has revealed anything about the wrecks themselves? That would be a plain spoiler to say 'they were destroyed by something bigger'.
My first visual impression from the ruins image was the top pad is shaped like a key and the below pad a key hole. The two pads are similar in design with the bottom pad having a few things mis alligned so the question is could the ruins be mechanical and we have to align the lower pad to resemble the upper or vica versa using all the materials at our disposal.. urns orbs obelisques, lasers etc.
Just a shot in the dark
Apart from that i have explored the locations for ruins/abandoned posts stated above but have not found anything yet. good job to all involved .

Does this not put Federation and pirates as prime suspects of being the operators of at least this beacon?
Maybe shoot those spots with healing beams
That's my feeling. All the things that light up or react when a ship or SRV is around are sucking up power from us (similar to the alien engine in "My Science Project "). My hypothesis: While we've had commanders hit things with the healing laser (since it puts power into something rather than just blasting things), I think it will take a concerted significant amount of effort to input enough energy into the ruins to actuate the large system it contains. Just hitting it with a few random shots isn't going to do much. I think you'll see more of the obelisks start to light up when sufficient amounts of energy are input. As far as how to input the energy, I see a couple of possibilities. First, direct input into the towers, preferably by multiple commanders beaming all four towers. Alternately, as others have mentioned, there may be a way to hit one tower and have it relay or reflect the beam onto the other towers. One other consideration I see based on the various maps, is that one of the towers sits right in front of the "prism" shape. I'm not sure if there is any way to hit the prism with a beam and have the resultant beams activate the tower. Perhaps the towers only respond to one particular part of the resultant spectrum. Hopefully once the initial tower in front of the prism is hit with the right beam type, it would reflect energy onto the other towers. Just lots of speculation here with a bit of energy engineering.
How many CMDRs have been present at one time? Have we had a high number there or just a few? The most I have seen is three including myself. I seem to recall somebody posting about a second obelisk lighting up, but I might have made that up?
Also, apparently the sound that the ruins were making changed when I did something, but I have no idea what as I didn't see the message for a while, I had the hud turned off. If I ignored a message from any of you guys, thats why!
