Anyone else come across an invisible wall in the avenue between E20 and E29?

so have been doing a little research for the past hour and have come to the conclusion that something is wrong (i'm in solo mode)
as i understand it area was broken down into different areas of data tech historical etc. please correct me if i'm wrong.
any way i did a test where i used the obelsiks 1 2 3 4 and went throught all combo of items to see if the Data patters meant anything or where random.
for example
Casket - Totem
1 Alpha
2 Alpha Epsilon
3 Beta
4 Elpsilon
anyway this proved fruit less but what i did notice was that no matter what combo of items i take to any area i always get Civ data returned i've tried this several times until i made the mistake of logging into open on an instance reset and gone blown away before the loading screen even finsihed, thats me done for a while i'm convinced this is not working as intended.

Yer, suppose I am. Since the crash sites clearly are the same vessels as the interdicting one. But they are a long way away from the Ruins.
Its just an idea. Also, has anyone actually checked the Meene main planet next to the Felice dock? for ruins?

I get invisible walls where I've previously crashed or relogged from the previous instance, can get really stuck on them
That's what happened. Seemed to persist for several relogs though.
Tere are in fact 3 crash sites, and 3 arks, but the crash sites are recent , and the arks are ancient, so its probably not related.
Sorry to interrupt, been running security for researchers and kinda following along, but can someone tell me if combinations have changed? People are saying that previous Combos are not working as they were before. Just trying to help them out. Thanks in advance.

Pardon me if this has been looked at. I suspect
It has but has 4 B been looked at in detail?
Looking at the ruins it seems like the bottom circle represents 1 B with a singular ring and 5 segments like stellar body 1 has a singular ring with 5 planets.
stellar body 4 has 2 rings and 5 planets only 1 of which isn't tidally locked and is a rocky body.

Has anyone tried Alien Probes or whatever they are? are they a possible item to add to the combinations?

I was going to ask the same thing, I might try getting an unknown artifact and seeing if it interacts with the obelisks in any way.
I had this idea a couple of days ago but I don't think this is the case as Ram Tah specifically states in one of his messages to try different combinations of artifacts in the SRV hold.
Really? The technology data does mention a communications network but there is no specific connection with this site. If anything this is just a monument type site or data library of the Guardians.
Hey! it was me that tried to free you by ramming you - noticed after a couple of relogs you appeared to have freed yourself.
Ah, so Sorbicol, Racer1, and I are thinking the same thing: We found this out of the normal sequence that was planned. Racer1 thinks this might be site #2, but for all we know could be #3. Or it's #1 and we got here before the planned series of events that would make decrypting this puppy easier. We're being punished! [knocked out]
Thanks for the attempt. I was well and truly stuck. Couldn't move in any direction or use the thrusters. Even when I relogged I was still stuck but managed to get free with the thrusters but only just.
Call me paranoid, but I think that Deedrix knows something - maybe he learned it through some inside contact in FD or something - and throws us hints while not wanting to show the entire thing at once. Maybe Bill Turner gives a similar 'CG' mission for finding the ruin sites just like Ram Tah gave us the one for the data? Can anyone with access to Alioth check this lead real fast? I don't have the permit myself and I don't think 3 weeks will be enough for me to farm the rep to get it...
I got that impression too. Although I have to say that there are few things more annoying than saying "I know something you don't know, but can't tell you."
As owlbeak mentioned there seem to be hints that there were 3 Arks. Also FD did 3 crash sites and gave us clues to each of their locations (which the players managed to decipher and find).
Personally, I myself think there may be three in total. Each one would bring a bigger piece of the story together, so this one site cannot be the only thing left by their builders. Each story has a (1) beginning, (2) middle, and (3) an end, just like the crash sites. Remember, each of them got progressively more interesting. You had a crashed ship. Then a crashed ship with UA's all around it. Finally, a third crash site but with UA's and several human ships in various stages of damage scattered at the site. I just "feel" that they're going to do the same thing with the archeology site for the same reason. Not something I can put my finger on, just one of those feelings in the back of my head.
I know; that's not "science". But look at how this storyline progressed out of its planned sequence. There has to be something else that points us eventually to a Rosetta stone of some kind concerning the meaning of all this stuff at this one site. If I was a smarter guy than I am, I'd probably be a lot more help, too. [ugh] All I can do is cheer you on, but again, my gut instinct is telling me that there's at least 2 more sites based on what I've read here so far.
Three sites would make sense as we haven't yet seen any of the beginning or end data (I think before 7 or after 16)

Agreed. The mention of that earlier in this thread gave me the impression of "thirds"; 0-6, 7-13, 14-20.
Just spitballing here, but with what we know of the story so far, wouldn't it be appropriate to believe that there are AT LEAST 3 more Ancient sites to explore. My reasoning is that if there were 3 Arks then this site is either:
A - One of the Ark sites in question (which leaves 2 more and a point of Origin)
or
B - The point of origin of all 3 Ark ships (which leaves 3 Ark settlements to find)
Sorry if I am stating the painfully obvious, but wanted to chime in and contribute what I can.
