Hey there,
i know it was asked before but can someone confirm Ancient Wathever going missing from Cargo after Scanning Obelisks?
I just scanned the 4 Obelisks at G-Site and wanted to refuel my SRV as i recognised my Cargo was empty (again)... so def has nothing to do with reloging, seems to be one whole buggy piece of ****
edit: Couldnt say when the Items disapeared from cargo, will goin to test this now
edit 2: Playing in Solo
If you mean the beacons (the tall columns with the bright relics at the top) then yes, I saw that earlier too. Scanned all 4 beacons, then went to scan an obelisk and and my cargo was gone.

One of the QA staff said the obelisks reset after a period of time, but it must be several hours if not days. So it's not all that helpful!
So the positions of the two circles seem to match the relative positions of soontil and the ruins. Album attached.

I usually double check my cargo excactly because off this, but you probally right nonthenless, this whole misson is getting kinda frustrating (for me), will leave it for now and may give it a try in a couple of days again.
Greetz n good luck

Nono mean the actual Obelisks
But may realy be a failure on my side though
Glad you are not spokemsn for Frontier, open needs support, I use Mobius because of this kind of attitude in open, I would rather be in open, the server is not limited like private ones, Mobius is already at it's limit, that should tell FD a lot, yup, it's called Elite dangerous, not Elite griefers, things like the ruins mission should not be where griefers can just get away with attacking unmanned ships, if FD hopes to get more people interested in open, then they need to punish the griefers severely, PvP is one thing, destroying unmanned ships just because, how would In describe them?, hmmm, childish, with too much time on their hands.
Forgive me if I'm missing something here, but people keep talking about relogging to reset the ruins etc.
Is this part of the puzzle?
I find it extremely hard to believe that FD would intentionally put a puzzle into the game that requires and encourages players to relog and switch instances, it just doesn't make sense.
Talk about immersion breaking.
I'm sure we are missing something, there should be no reason to need to relog doing this puzzle/mission.

Apologies, I saw the "4" and jumped to assumptions!
I certainly lost my cargo, without jettisoning or abandoning it. Was mostly just waiting to see if the obelisks reset after time, tried scanning a couple of other obelisks, and then scanned all 4 beacons.
Unless it's something really weird like cargo disappears after a certain period of time in the instance. Confusing.

Well, you don't have too many options, currently. You scan all 15 obelisks... they become inactive... then what?
- Wait until they reset (FD have confirmed they do reset, but it takes hours/days?, no one's had the patience).
- Manually reset them (no one's found a way of doing this)
- Sit and try to stare the data out of the obelisks...
- Get in your ship, FSD away, come back. Start again.
- Re-log.
It's the only practical option at the moment, until we find a better one.
Ok, I'm about 20 pages behind, so this may have already been discussed,but my 2 credits worth on finding any new ancient sites. We're never going to brute force a find without more information (which could be in the information we get from the current site). I don't think we need to find the new sites...I think we need to figure out how to activate the comm network that's been alluded to in the information we already have, and which I think is accessible on the current site, and "they" will contact us! For whatever it's worth.

Been lurking this thread to try and help out this search a bit and post my findings. So far I havent not come up with anything new. What I did notice is that there is some interesting sounds that come from the ruins. I first noticed it when hovering over the ruins after triggering the 4 beacons. But after relogging back to solo due to a griefer, the sounds are still around. I've muted the music to better focus on it, and while sitting in my ship landed I get a clearer play of this sound.
What I'm finding interesting is that it sounds like there is a transmission signal that starts up and plays other sounds to compliment it. Then sounds where there is either movement or objects falling in ruins below. There is so much to this that it cant just be for atmosphere, there might be more to these sounds from being in the ruins. If someone can record it and then analyse it we may be able to figure something out if someone hasnt already done so. The sounds seem like they loop after about 2 or so minutes.

I have been lurking in this thread since last few days and I think we need to organise this thread first as so many people here are talking to each other and then there are some random useful posts in between its hard to know what is actually going on.
I also believe just before the end of the mission duration something will change/happen which will either give us clues about new site or where to look for more data and this is all part of 2-3 stage mission.

Don't have to get all the way to OC. Just engage FSD and enter Supercruise, then throttle back and come right back to the ruins.
I also second this. I've always thought that everyone discounted too much of the rest of the data in the spectrogram and focused only on the circle part of the image. The assumption is that the rest is just noise. But if you have any knowledge of how a spectrogram is made, you would know that everything around it is not an accident.
No need to apologie, kinda makes sense to connect the "4" with the Beacons
Im realy not sure whats up with the cargo, just tryed another run to check this but everything fine now... was thinking it might happen after you scan all 15 active obelisks
Edit1: Nevermind, Obs seem all there, just stupid me (deleted statement bout this)
Edit2: Cargo is deffinetly bugged for me! Had Casket and Totem in Cargo, put Totem in Ship Cargo (doublechecked this), headed out Scanning with only Casket , got Historic 15/21, headed to next Obelisk, checked Cargo before Scan, Casket AND Totem in Cargo (what is necesarry to get Historic 15 as far as i can see, again i headed out with only casket in Cargohold)...
Edit3: Just saw that my Cargohatch was open, nonthenless im pretty sure i would got if i had collected something "by accident"

G'day there commanders,
I'm getting very curious about the idea of multiple ruin sites. has anyone else been checking the local systems or around the rest of the planet? iirc there was a comment about knowing what to look for, I'm thinking of a search list of qualities; gravity, planetary composition and maybe distance from the start.

there are a few landable planets in the system, has anyone else checked them?
I'll update if I find anything new.
thanks,

Damn nice, great work Cmdr!
Well, im off to do something else for now, if i get just one more hatemail from Ram Tha i swear i will UA-Bomb the whole Meene System back to somewhere BC
If there is something to do except of (more or less) randomly scanning Obe`s let me know
