Can someone check where it points to?
Maybe if we plot a straigh line from it we can have a hint.

This kinda sounds suspiciously like a bug doesn't it? (introduced with the alien interdiction and/or 2.2.03).
Calling Michael Brookes! I appreciate you don't want to give too much away but could you post one knock to acknowledge you've read this, two if you'd rather not comment and three if it sounds like a bug to you.
Thanks!
This behaviour was not introduced in the latest patch. It was present prior to the appearance of the alien. I was testing this about a month ago and noted no spectrogram image appears when you do the following:
1. Drop UA
2. Use discovery scanner
3. Scoop up UA
4. Drop UP
I'm curious whether the current known site is from which the ark ships left, so there are three other sites? Or is it a site of ark landing, so there are two other sites?

Do you guys mean that the UA changed ?
I'm sure this site is not their origin and each ark could have made multiple 'pit stops' along the way to their destination to gather resources etc.
jesus christ, I have to make all the scans from start?!??!!? What's the point to have a beta if the mess up the release like this?!?!
I doubt that this would be a 'pit stop' with all the construction that is really evident in the ruins, it doesnt look like a small operation... but I could be wrong. If its not the departure - I would hazard the assertion that it is one of their Ark landing spots. Would it then be a fair assumption to say that there are Two other landing spots, and perhaps their homeworld left to discover?

We discussed the possibility yesterday, but if you look at it, it's such a specific set of circumstances that it seems highly unlikely that it would be a bug. My main thinking is that if it was a bug then it would play the audio as well.
If you were testing this a month ago, why did you not come and tell us?
If you did the scans in the site previously you might remember Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon data scans. When viewed later on they were categorised as Historical, Biological, Language.... the missing category that probably relates to the totem was "Cultural".
Also, if there were 3 arks, and we are looking for 3 more ruin sites, then that would imply that the known ruins is on the home world.
Perhaps we are only looking for 2 more sites, with this one being one of the arks?
Just going from the numbers, we're seemingly finding entries roughly from 7-14 in the series, which go up to roughly 21, so I'd estimate there are two other sites, one containing entries roughly 1-7, and another 15-21.
So now fun with geometry 102.
I got a culture without having a totem. and I feel the data collected can't be used to tell us what obelisk will give what info, as even the data collected changes.
Someone else just posted they are rather sure the known ruins is not a homeworld. But I'd like to see some sort of background to that argument. Canonn?

Yes. However - we are looking at 80 ish total. and if we get around 20 from this site, that leaves 60 left. 3 more sites.
True - you're the only one to have found a culture I think - how many in that series?
My arm is acheing. Can someone please draw a diagram of the ruins? All shapes, obelisks, etc.

Now that you said it yeah, good catch.

Apologies if this has been fully confirmed but I couldn't see it.
I noticed yesterday evening there was some talk about the UP activating on it's own without a scan, we picked up on it in chat while we were doing the livestream and once it finished we went off to do some testing on it. Under the instructions of Bungalo we tried as many possible variations of the test as we could and have come up with guaranteed ways of making it happen.
1. Drop UA
2. Use discovery scanner
3. Drop UP
or even
1. Drop UA
2. Use discovery scanner
3. Scoop up UA
4. Drop UP
In both situations just after dropping the UP it disables you ship but (and I'm surprised this wasn't picked up on more) it does not play the audio to you! It is worth noting that it does not even need to be the same person, 1 person can drop and scan the UA and another drop the UP and it happens.
We tried it with a variety of different objects, including some from the objects from the ruins and even some fish, but the only thing that triggers this reaction is the above.
It would be easy enough to write it off as the scan just lingering and then triggering the UP on release, but if this is the case then why does it not play the audio as well? Also why does it only happen after scanning a UA...
Cue X-files music
You're so funny acting all high and mighty and putting people down for not noticing how months ago you said there were definitely multiple ruin sites and you knew the locations. You were vague back then when we asked you how and now you claim again to know their locations, but actually you're just guessing by trying to piece together 2 completely different lore timelimes, without knowing which parts are still canon and assuming that old thargoid invasion points have been changed for something else...

Jog on.

EVERYONE STOPS!
It is a well known bug, I remember it very well as I experienced it many times, I think I've filed even a bug report for this.
Basically, if you honk before deploying the UP and then you deploy it, it activates automatically. I'm not sure if the UA needs to be there or not, but I think yes.
I made some posts about this, but it was very long ago, I did it with the FIRST UP EVER, immediately after I DISCOVERED THE HONK BEHAVIOR, among the many experiments I've performed with it.
So it should be easy to find it, but I do not have time now...

If they landed for good I'd expect to see a lot more signs of civilisation. However a 'pit stop' would be just land collect resources for a while ( day, weeks, months ) build a new FTL transmitter station ( ie the ruins ) and leave for next way point ( or end destination ), leaving the rest of the planet looking untouched ( as we found it ).
I was going through a screenshot that was uploaded onto a dropbox that was 16k screenshot, not sure of who here actually took it, but it was on the latest lave radio (warning the original image is quite big). and noticed something interesting.
The following is a cropped version of the screenshot, focus being the cockpit:
it clearly shows the two cylindrical "pads", with what looks like a terminal on the middle one.
What I find odd is the the very non-organic looking tech at the ontop of the middle-pad-with-terminal, that reminds me of a pilot's seat.
This is consistant with the thread cockpit screenshot as well!
