Drop the UA. You will have a limited time tho. Try to aim your cargo hold into the UA distortion field and drop UP. It's hard to aim properly, took me a couple of tries.

sounds like now you could drop the UA and UP on the plants surface where the Ruin is maybe that will make something happen there?

Don't know. It's not how I originally got this effect. See here. I'm still not sure if it's the normal behaviour or not. Hope I'm not loosing my mind from too much hyperdiction jumping.

You progressively get more credits as you get more new info. I currently have 5m, and you can hand it in now and get just that if you like.

I did this during Beta.

If you do that, can you ever get the mission again? Let's say we need more ruin sites to complete the mission - that could be hard to find in 4 weeks. I guess that might be why there's a 100 million bonus :p

So if you cannot complete the whole mission for the bonus you could turn it in instead of failing it - but would you ever be able to pick it up again? Is this a "one-time-mission"? And if so, what if you failed the mission instead of handing it in? Could you try again then? (as time passes I suppose the chances of more sites being discovered increases).

If the timer is personal - from when you accept the mission - you could just wait until someone else discovers other ruins and take the mission then, and have 4 weeks to complete it.

Every second obelisk I scan I get no message for. It's getting very annoying.

I was getting that in Open Play. Nothing seems to work correctly there.

Well, if you could repeat the mission, it would be very exploitable.
 
Sorry for the offtopic with the alien ruins, but can someone please tell me if this is the standard behaviour for UA + UP nearby?

I accidentally jettisoned UP "into" UA field. I tried to replicate it a couple of times and finally succeeded. One expert please tell me if this is the normal behaviour?
Our ECM is said to be based on thargoid tech.
Well this looks like a form of ECM.

I am thinking that the UAs are the thargoid take on mycoid virus
 
But how should we find the other sites? Especially without clues!
It's a wonder we even found the first one from a short video. LOL

Also it's not clear if we need other ruins. There are lots of combinations with only the one ruins. With one item or two. In different combinations.

- - - Updated - - -

Combinations:

Relic[Re]
Orb[Or]
Casket[Ca]
Tablet[Ta]
Urn[Ur]
Totem[To]

Single Objects:
Re
Or
Ca
Ta
Ur
To

Multiple Objects:
Re + Or
Re + Ca
Re + Ta
Re + Ur
Re + To
Or + Ca
Or + Ta
Or + Ur
Or + To
Ca + Ta
Ca + Ur
Ca + To
Ta + Ur
Ta + To

All on 15 Obeliscs... that's some work.

It seems one can also get out Data with duplicate Items... so six more to go.

--> 390 combinations total, gentlemen

those are not 390 combinations, those are 26 combinations (counting two of the same item), that's 26 laps around the ruins with said combinations, don't make it even scarier for the lazy ones.
 
Yeah there is a bug here, but as it didnt exist in beta no way to show it. Sometimes the scan does not complete and sometimes you get kicked to the main menu even if in solo play something about adjudication server.. Network coding up the swanny again?

Yeah, I suppose so. So what we are able to decode, including the possibility of needing more ruins for a complete decode, sets the path this story takes perhaps?

Well i suppose that is due to high player traffic on the ruins,
the transactions servers are busy and matchmaking sometimes
fails even in remote locations.
 
So, I'm off to work so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, but I just read some of the data blobs more.

-"The Guardians" sent out three "long range" ships.
-There was a north/south divide due to conflict.

Given it'll take roughly a day to exhaust all the possible (local) combinations, I wonder if we'll find more ruins either:
- On this planet (these ones are "in the south" so do we check the North?
- In the three areas from the recent CG of The Conflux, The Rift and Hawkin's Gap?

Michael Brookes, we don't have the ruins from pre patch... same place but different configuration. Is that wanted or a whooops?
 
I do not expect FD made a vicious plan to force us to discover other 2 cities during this mission. I do not expect this would be fast and easy task also, because they are aware of CMDRs dedication.

If one relic active the other, then the order is also important and increase the number of possibilities. So A and B is not equal to B and A.
 
Some info. Maybe it was already posted ?

At livestream when ED lock's on and leave's wake open. You can see crearly "portal" like shape in the wake.

When he goes to cargo and checks out scans, both of them indicate, that these two "items" can be crafted at enginners.

Before it scan's ED, alien ship is not blured. After it scanned him, it blured and a bit redish. Like taking something like an enegry of some sort to fuel it self ?

//

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGI8mHqB7TU - much more "energy" taken from the ship.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNP0URw8zLI - much less "energy" taken from the ship.


Edit: There is a difirrence of scanning betwen probe and alien ship in 1st. few second's.

As Ram Tah is quite interested in the ruins,
i guess he will have some recipes for them
to come after the "shadow cg" "do-alien-missions"
is concluded.
 
I'm exhausted now, and I only found 9 data packets. I hopwe those scans without a message are not data packets lost due to server response or whatever.
