Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

[CMDR Die Nasty]

Evening all!

If the moon above the site is tidally locked, shouldnt it look exactly the same in the trailer as it does over head in game?

Im not 100% it does. The link below has the moon in the shot with two distinct craters on the right. Right now in game, those craters are on the opposite side (if the same craters) and at a more acute angle. Also, some of the smaller craters dont match up from in game.

Im not sure which shot XDeath used to triangulate the site location (as there is an earlier shot in the trailer) but I though this worth mentioning, take a look!

It rises exactely above the small "landing pad" and sets exactely at the large "landing pad" (no screenshot yet made, but believe me...)

Maybe, if the moon is used to slingshot they point at the 2 other sites, one travel port on the large pad and on the small one.
It is stated that they used vehicles to transport data at one time.

That's beacuse it is not taken from the center of the compund, but from site A.

Here's a screenshot I took of the moonrise a few hours ago:

Right. I was parked at the tip of the line that juts out of site A. I was also elevated a bit so I could fit the two visible towers in the picture, in case that revealed something interesting. I have no doubt that there is a spot in the ruins where the moon lines up perfectly with the two mounds. Since I set up this shot two hours before the moon hit the horizon, I wasn't able to be precise.

The static bright spot is the relic tower at site A.

Culture 12 does seem to suggest that the layout of the monoliths has a relationship to the 'world around them'

Maybe that's as much clue as we're going to get regarding other sites.

E35 Urn + Urn = success Bio 8

Confirmed (again) - these are looking solid

 

[Commanjo]

Has anyone checked out 2 D and 2 D A in the system? Very similar formation to 1 B and 1 B A. I'm there now, so I'm going to check the same coordinates as the current ruins.

--Update--
Didn't find anything at the same coords, any idea if there's another set I could try?

The known ruins are at a latitude such that the horizon aligns with the galactic center once per rotation. Maybe this makes sense for a communications array so it will have simultaneous line of site to many different nodes? Or maybe it just looks cool?

When I identify a target body on a hunch, I've been looking for the local latitudes (north and south hemispheres) that match up with the galactic center and then do quick orbits, stopping wherever canyons or craters look interesting at those latitudes. No idea if this will ever pay off, but that's my current method. Finding out how big planets are has made me all the more impressed with xDeath and the other commanders that zeroed in on the known ruins so quickly with just a couple images.

Refresher, will grab the rising screenshot eventually. I'm kind of frustrated atm. Everyone is trying so hard to milk the remaining data out of the current site when they should be looking for the others (2 more). All I know is that it has something to do with the engineer Bill Turner. For all we know we're at the end point to whatever puzzle FD intended for us to solve. Of course the whole thing was circumvented.

This is what our digsite looked like today in open

I'm not saying the science can be better in open. Certainly the best science will be in Canonn's private group and solo.. but hey, give open a chance? Maybe come on and educate these folks about Canonn Interstellar Research Group. More than a few weren't too aware.

could be like the ancient pyramids of Gizeh used to mirror the milky way and the most important stars(the Nile was aligned with the milky way and the pyramids represented stars)
Because the axial tilt of earth this is no longer the case though.

 

[Commanjo]

Figured this should be put to good use here.

A planetary navigation bearing calculator I made this weekend after looking for the ruins for like 30 minutes.
i added some popular coordinates on it.
If someone as other ideas, please share.
I was thinking about maybe a text area kept in local web storage and cookies to keep last destination coordinates or something.

Awesome work! It doesn't seem to accept negative numbers, though?

Yep I did the same a couple of hours ago.

Anyone else getting a lot of crashes in Mobius - very irritating to be getting setup to try an obelisk/artefact pair and have it crash out as you drive up... (

Why Bill Turner? Was there a hint or someting I missed? Does he have a secret CG, too?

You keep stating there are more ruins like it's a fact, and now you claim the engineer Bill Turner is involved? What makes you think so? What makes you think any of this? There isn't any evidence for any of it??? :S

 

[Eugen Bold]

Hey, anyone know why the first listed Ruins spreadsheet on the front page is locked now?

 

[Leo3ABP]

Due to triangular nature of structures and lore data mentioning triangulars being guardians favorite, I tried to criss-cross structure shapes with some cuneiform alphabets. Skipping to the end, I came up with a Synuefe GI-R C5-0 - uninhabited, unexplored system. Though this is a VERY long shot, it does lie roughly in the direction where an "arrow" of B cluster pointing. Might be worth looking into it.

 

[Tihiy]

The mystery can not be solved in a solo? It's true? I started without reading the current progress, for that would try to understand myself. And stuck in the 13 messages...

Bill Turner? You mean Bootstrap Bill? He died. Maybe we can find his son.

I was looking at the trailer of The Guardians and this is what I noticed :

Spoiler

I believe there is no such formation of obelisks in the ruins we have discovered. Look at the map below:

Spoiler

So there is definitely another set of ruins then?

yes i know there are at least 2 more but i cant prove it. We need people to search the area around the planet to see if it gives off any hint that the ruins are on the surface. If we do find an indicator, we need to look in the surrounding systems for any more of these hints to see if they show what planet they are on.
