This is confirmed by me and numerous other commanders. G19 and C38 give no entry with any combination of "correct" item.

C38 gives the same result as C36, which is Language 14. Maybe you already have downloaded Language 14? Do check in your mission notification panel if you already have Language 14.
 
Casket on it's own should be for G18 (not G19) in solo and results in History 8. at least it did for me and a buddy.

Yes sorry, What i was saying was, that no combination I used with casket as one of the artifacts or as the single artifact worked on G19.
The same was true of C38 with tablet as the primary artifact.

Also this is my 3rd run of the mission in solo and the results have been constant for me.

with you ;)

I should not multitask while at work.
 
Good evening.

So to preface, i don't know that what i'm about to post actually means anything. But i'll post anyway... maybe somebody will see something in the images.

While scanning things tonight i noticed that the obelisks always light up on the same side, so you can tell which way the obelisk is "facing" by looking for these features:

A crack on the left most triangle, and divots at the tops of the middle and right triangle. Out of curiosity, i went through a bunch of the groups and mapped out which way the obelisks were facing. I was in a PG when i did this, one other cmdr in the instance.

cluster b has the same layout as e, just rotated.

Like i said, it probably doesn't mean much. Somebody probably just used some kind of template to lay out the game objects. But who knows. I would have mapped out the other clusters but i need to go to sleep or i'll be a very angry cheese at work tomorrow.


It is very interesting and there is some nice pattern visible in some cases, especially for cluster H or G. And even more interesting thing, that cluster A has smaller 3 obelisk triangle inside bigger one, and maybe it is same one that was on old layout of ruins but was kind of missing in this one.

I wonder if cluster D has also "hidden" triangle thing inside?

Also I'm thinking, that the ruins create much more fun in assumptions and theories for people with rich imagination, then they will be able to deliver after solving in 100% in case of satisfaction.
 
There shouldn't be a difference between the modes - that sounds like a bug.

How many days ago did people first draw this to your attention? Pretty much the day this mission was released I believe.

Do you consider this acceptable turnaround time for a headline mission in this game? I think the community deserve an answer about this after so very many - hundreds - of commanders have been pointing it out and getting nothing back.

Can you imagine how many game hours have been spent on this futilely?
 
hi everyone,

i have 36data now and look for new ruins or something... i don't know if im right but my theory is that Orion is like a vector pointing somewhere ( im working on it ) . Orion look very similar to the big ruin circle with the line .
this theory seems to match with the unknow autorisation needed is this sector .

what do you think about ?

I'm wandering around Barnard's Loop systems trying to find a medium sec system - is part of it actually locked (or are you referring to the problem of navigating around Col 70)?

Just about all of Horsehead is permit locked. There's a spot here and there in Bernard's loop that's reachable but for the most part, no joy there.

If you're in the galaxy map and search for COL 70, you'll see "Requires unknown permit" for everything with that designation. "COL" everything else appears to be open, so there's something coming in 70. I feel it might be the two nebula areas that get released first, since there appear to be "things pointing that way" in the ruins (based on what I've read so far).

What if the obseliks and their data combinations and the 100mil credit mission to catch em all is the end of this particular storyline. Something to consider, that said the alien interdictions are goiing nowhere fast, i guess we just wait on frontier now for the next hand holding exercise that passes as a storyline

I think it's quite likely this is it. It's a lucrative mission that injects a bunch of lore into the game, but it might not be anything more. On the other hand, they did call 2.2 "The Guardians" so perhaps there is more to it.

Ironically, I also had thoughts that sometime it feels like FDev just picking the best tinfoil theory on forum and then adjust their next puzzle piece after it, and not the other way around. )

I don't think that's ever happened. Which case makes you think that?
 
Regarding which obelisks have which combos, there may be multiple obelisks/combos that provide a certain piece of data.

Working in Cluster F i managed to get History 9 from F8, rather than F2. Also i got History 13 from F7 both using Casket+Totem.

Confirmed with another CMDR in my instance. Is this already known of?

I ran through this from scratch in solo last night hitting only the known obelisk/combos. I got no message from the first despite getting a voice conformation and then every one after that was out of sequence by one. It looked like I was getting the wrong data from the obelisk but in reality the message was simply stuck in the buffer and was dislodged by the next message.

Are you sure nothing like this is going on for you?
 
Hi is it possible to get G19 and C38 when playing solo ?

I got C38 with tablet+relic. I suspect only the tablet was necessary. I could not get C13 though, tried tablet with everything.

C38 gives the same result as C36, which is Language 14. Maybe you already have downloaded Language 14? Do check in your mission notification panel if you already have Language 14.

I got Language 8 from C38.

ALL will be a relatively good approximation. Super vague riddles can go both ways, but since we cant really prove anything and only FDev knows for certain, this discussion is kinda pointless.

You can't be more specific? A case where someone has proposed some theory, wasn't able to find any evidence, and then later it turned out to be right?
 
Can someone put me here any (just first that comes in your mind - but real) highlighted obelisk number, where it is (ab,c,d,e,f), scan result, and if this was alpha, beta, etc... First come, first win!

Obelisk (1,2,3,....):A,B,C,D...:positive/negative:Alpha, Beta...

So as we all now know all the combinations for the artefacts and obelisks, I am finally closing the Ruins Survey.
Well, firstly you guys did an absolutely superb job - thank you all for taking part and recording very accurate data!

We can now state that all available Obelisk/Artefact combinations have now been confirmed from using the survey data, and other various sources of scans made by other groups of players.
You can find the list of combinations from http://tinyurl.com/h3sxadg (thanks to CMDR Mortlestiltskin and his group).

Now we need to find the other sets of ruins.

Thanks again folks!

Does that take into account the obelisks not mentioned that also light up but haven't been fully investigated yet, such as the ones I saw in C sector in PG last night? If I can get them to light up again then I might be able to test them more. They may well even point to new data.

Searching for new ruins is not a bad thing to do. However, the mystery of why a given obelisk or set of obelisks glows is still out there and one we still haven't fully understood.
