Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

[Sorbicol]

Considering the entry saying "As well as biological warfare agents, they also created creatures expressly for use in battle, and these remained effective even into the modern era." We could end up learning that the Guardians created the Thargoids, in order to battle the AIs.

It's a possibility. Of course, it's all total supposition and speculation [wacky]

Fun finding out though. If we do find out. My primary "worry" about the ancient ruins is that they were never intended to be anything other than the playground for solving Ram Tah's in game mission hunt, and we've all been expending a terrific amount of time and energy trying to solve something that just isn't there. Considering how quickly the ruins were found after the trailer was released (much faster than FD were expecting) they just weren't ready for people to be there and they've just been letting us all stew until Ram Tah's missions went live.

To be honest, I wouldn't put that past FDev.......................

 

[Jmanis]

Yeah I'm always active with Formadine stuff.

I'm sure there has already been 3 ruins sites found though. Is it on the front page can't seem to find it.

It could be they created us to battle the Thargoids

Nobody has ever reported it or given pics to prove it, if they have.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Well for you nerds out there myself included, the overhead view is obviously a map of some sorts, now we have clues to state that the guardians did stuff in triangles and trig and anything else that uses combinations of 3's perhaps now we can measure distances and plot the star map with that in mind?

The map would need a reliable frame of reference, i.e. something meaningful to them, and to us if we are to interpret it correctly (if it is something interpretable). If they are former Terrans, a possible frame of reference could be Sol.

Three alien crash sites for sure.

It seems like when you get hate mail, both are wrong, and when there is no message at least one is right. So is it then a process of trial and elimination? I couldn't relate the data types acquired with a bad scan and the ancient piece required. I was on Mobius and some obelisks lit up that had never done so before, so that's a thing.

Yes, that's pretty much what I took the lack of feedback to mean. You're holding one of the "right" combination for that block.

If we are going to be dealing with a lot of obelisks, then could someone come up with a numbering system? We have the 1-15 maps, but it may be better to number ALL the obelisks.

That might need to be done. The biggest problem will be getting people on board to all use the same reference, as we've got a dozen different numbering systems just for the 15 active obelisks already!

Historical Data Point 12 mentions 3 large arks being launched from their homeworld, so it would make sense with 3 sites.

Seeing as the Guardians also need to breathe, and their similarities to humans, and the fact that the planet is within the human habitable zone, its fair to say it used to have an atmosphere once, a long time ago. It is ancient after all.

So maybe thats a clue on where to look for the 2 other sites?

Landable planet in the habitable zone of an F-star, within range of an electromagnetic slingshot, possibly with a moon orbiting it.


Thats still ALOT of surface ground to cover.

*jaw drops*
3 large arks being launched from their homeworld...

Formidine Rift, Conflux and Hawkin's Gap beacon locations?

Be careful Commanders, don't hand out the mission until you really want to get your reward (about 1mil by data recovered), because it happened to me that you can't get anymore scans on the obelisks ruins (with notifications "data xx/xx found" -ish)...
When you hand out the mission, it's OVER.
I've learnt it by myself few minutes ago :/

I think a big deal needs to be made about this, because I wonder how many people considered cashing in as they go along.

I'll post this here in case it gets missed.

Not sure if folks have seen this, but if you inspect the code on this forum (Right click, view source in Chrome) this appears in the text, in green....It was not there a few days ago...

<!-- ...Are..are they searching for something? -->

Like others (Capt Apollo for example), I found this in the source code of the page:

<!-- ...Are..are they searching for something? -->
<!-- *static* -->
<!-- I'm not sur*static* -->

This could be a new front for obfuscated info from Frontier.

One of our group Sap Core Cmndr Macklin Fox has some 3d galaxy models he can work with. He created them for the rift but will see if he has mapped Pleadies sector.

 

[Tessa R Act]

I still think (as do probably many others) that the ancient ruins people or "Guardians" may be related to The Missing. The increasing amount of info from these data scans suggest an increasingly apparent similarity with humans - they may be former humans, Missing humans, extraterrestrial humans, or even precursors to all of the above and ourselves.

i can´t help it, but that was my speculation in context with the missing and Drew´s story about the AI going crazy on the colony-ship during threadnaught 8 already. Hence I really was astonished that one of Ram Tha´s deciphered messages showed a hint about a conflict between the Guardians and the AI´s, pointing out that the Guardians weaponry wasn´t sufficient because of design.
That proves to me that we are talking about at least 3 different parties involved here, AI´s , Guardians and Thargoids...

 

[Lemsko]

this site were always called "ruins" since its discovery. the info mr tah extracted came from the scans of this site.
since this site was made by the guardians, everybody who assumes sol as an important reference point should think what connection the guardians had to our homeworld, especially since the site appears to be very old.

also the theory that there are 3 sites...i am sure the 1st scan i got was nr 15/21. i cant proove it, since the message got deleted by accidently double clicking on my joystick.

what i will try to do is collecting scans now without activating the 4 beacons and then repeating it with activated beacons .....if only the disconnects would happen that frequently.

 

[rizal72]

Regarding the ALIEN HYPERDICTIONS, find here some of the observations made so long from all the entries in the database.

Thanks! I'll put it on the frontpage.

Has anyone searched this thread for "ruins"? I know it will pull up a huge load of posts, but I'm convinced someone posted about finding a "second" or "new" set of ruins somewhere (possibly before Xmas?). It could have been a mistake or a troll but it might be worth checking out. I am useless with the search tool.

I can assure there are no other ruins found, apart from this one we know.
Any other mention about it is just musing, speculations, personal interpretations, no pictures, nothing.

Nope, just this one. I think you might be getting confused with the Formidine Rift CG which had people searching for 3 beacons - one in The Formidine Rift, one in Hawkin's Gap, and one in the Conflux

The site in the rift (EAOFOTS) and conflux were found but bugged (and still are), I don't believe the one in Hawkin's Gap was ever found? I stand to be corrected on that though.

 

[SmartBase]

That's what I'm trying to play around with. (but adjudication errors destroy some of the larger-profile tests I'm running)

If the relics are used we don't exactly have many ways to interact with the site, we can only shoot things, scoop up and drop things, or scan things. In any other game you'd have something like an obvious receptacle to put the relic into, I just hope it's solvable without using external tools.

Well I think have contributed, add that soil symbols, especially the so-called Obelisk 15 I think indicates 800 Ly in one direction but starting from there are not is triangular so I leave it to secure units there are minds better than the mine.

Bueno creo haber contribuido, añadir que los símbolos suelo , en especial el llamado obelisco 15 creo indica 800 Ly en una dirección pero a partir de hay no se triangular asi que se lo dejo a uds seguro hay mentes mejores que las mias

 

[evaldo10]

3 arks and 3 beacons, Formadine, Hawkins and Conflux are all related as Salome spoke about before being silenced by Patreus.

It's possible that she discovered the Ark ship in the rift and found about the other 2 Ark ships.

I'm sure we will find out more with more data caches.

I'm sure the Dark wheel know more about this, I'm sure Patreus does also.

I don't know if it still holds water, but it's interesting.

 

[CMDR Die Nasty]

Getting an error code when scanning now in Open.

"Alert: Ancient Civilization Data Already Accessed"- This is new to me, maybe a way to avoid duplicates?

Also, I cant but notice how lovely the moon in orbit is rendered. Wonder has it a part to play.

I think you might be on to something here. A shame my mathematical skills are pretty non-existent

 

[Zieman]

There was a map about the ruins posted somewhere in this thread, with object locations.
Looks like it's missing a couple of artifacts.

Yeah I'm in Eafots waiting the fix.

May be they are waiting for this CG to finish though.

Hmm it may be people getting muddled or making stuff up but im sure I've heard of 2 other sites.

Well I think next step is find these other 2 sites.

If I don't hear back news about the Eafots beacon then ill fly back. Doesnt take too long these days.

At least I'm not on the outer arm any more, took me ages to get back to Eafots from there.

Was that ever followed up? It might prove important.
