The picture on the Frontier website is not of this planet, please someone tell me I'm not wrong, look at the gas vents in the background and I don't think there is a pillar so close to the monoliths
Possibly worth noting that the picture not only shows the SRV but also a ship launched fighter. Perhaps getting messages hovering overthe ruins isvery much intended, planned part of the mission. Apart from thatthe moon in the background could be a hint that all of the sites have a moon, but I guess we won't know till we find them.
 
Might be a litte far fetched, but:

We get the mission from Ram Tah in Meene....supposing we wouldn't have found the ruins yet, there should be a hint somewhere in this system in order to "get started" with the mission.
Has anyone checked the bulletin boards, beacons, settlements, etc...?

I'm just thinking out loud...

No, it's just an artist's take on all the features in the update. Nothing more.

Seriously, the amount of static and disinformation in the thread is reaching alarming levels. Let's stick to the facts and keep doing science.

LOL...its all part of science...rehash old ideas to see if something new comes out. Any possible new information coming in real or other wise is scrutinized until its proven valid or not.

I love science its great...only bug bear i have is when people make definitive statements with no proof...
 
Can we triangulate a system/position with the "artistic" picture above and the few stars/milkyway that are on there?

there are stars where the rest of the moon should be, unless it's 2 screenshots of the same location on another time mixed together, those stars shouldn't even be visible.

The scientific value of a promotional pic evidently focused on including everything but the kitchen sink is obviously disputable. It's not supposed to be taken literally.

Take a Star Wars poster.

One might expect the movie includes a space battle involving floating heads of Moff Tarking and Obi Wan.
 
Now that I've been banging around mobius a bit... a little bit of me doubts that there may be more sites again. I've seen 45 unique obelisks active so far.
 
The reason is, I think that the focus currently lies on getting as much of the Ram Tah info as possible.
They could be "words"/characters like in some languages(chinese/japanese).
They remind me of egyptian cuneiform.

The obelisks can show words with the combined symbols, who knows

The new mission texts appear to state that the glyphs are abstract *pictoral*. They aren't letters/words but are instead abstract pictures of whatever they represent (and may incorporate movement).
 
I have two of my own theories about the alien ruins:

1. The ruins are broken in solo mode
2. Frontier's instancing issues are preventing the ruins from working properly in open and pg's

And the evidence is overwhelming to support both of them! :D
 
Since no one seems to be talking about it at all and a picture is worth a thousand words, an enhanced image of the bottom of each of the beacons:

Out of all the features of the ruins, those feel the most like a key or hint. After Ram Tah told us that the glyphs can be pseudo-pictographic, I thought they might be simple instructions on how to use the beacons as control points, something like scan the pillar above the glyphs in a particular order to get a change in the active obelisks. In the order you have the images: side 1 might be instructions for a reflection or rotation operation, side 2 an off or on, side 3 a move up or down.

Spent some time on this last night. No changes found, no positive feedback from scanning.

You say this, yet the moon in the background bears an uncanny resemblance to the moon on which the ruins we're currently exploring are located when viewed from the surface of it's sister moon.

And that sister moon has very rough terrain, which fits in with the mountains, boulders and such in the background.

The color of the terrain is right too, assuming it's a night-time shot, and it most likely is because the sister moon is tidally locked, currently with the dark side facing the ruins during that period of it's orbit.

Maybe I need to go have another look....

I know what you mean but as the Ruins is still ongoing and there is a time limit people are going to try everything, even if its already been done.

Yeah i agree but there is always a chance that there cold be something there though....it wouldnt be beyond Fdev but in this case i seriously doubt it too.
 
this is just came to my mind...

what if the key to unlock obelisks is

RIGHT COMBINATION OF OBJECT (ok)

+

RIGHT COMBINATION OF PATTERN A B C D E

?

I didnt get nay data if I dont have pattern in my databank. Also didnt get any new data if I'm 500\500.
Did someone give a shoot to this theory?

The mane Canonn guys have already been looking at this for some time, even when the update launced it was brough back up. However if you take the poster you are looking at yes the moon is significant.

However that picture contains pretty much all the features from the Guardians update.

The moon has been re-explored a number of times, however feel free if you have time to check again...you never know you may find something.

Personally i doubt that picture will lead to anything but you never know
 
I'm an engineer and I would never make a statement like that without evidence to prove it, although I think you are correct.

Here's some evidence:

1) Ram Tah hints at it
2) The Guardians are fond of triangles
3) The codices of the Synuefe site provide the 'middle' part of a set of data (i.e. Culture 7-13 out of 20 total)
 
there are stars where the rest of the moon should be, unless it's 2 screenshots of the same location on another time mixed together, those stars shouldn't even be visible.

True. If we want to find anything we have to have different possiblities:
1.a. the stars "in the moon" belong there and the moon was pasted in with a tad of transparence, so it looks more faint. Does the moon belong there then at all?
1.b. the stars "in the moon" don't belong there. The moon does. In this case the crater pattern on the moon could help.

what else have we got?
2) the planet seems to be brown/red-ish; same as it's moon (or planet it revolves around)
3) suggestion: I may not be too far from the current ruins, same as with the crash sites. They are all pretty close together.

Anything else?
Should we try to find that possible site?
