Sorry no new information than whats already been posted. I do however have a question. I as I am sure many of you have done numerous scans. My data banks keep filling up with all the combinations I have done. So do you just discard the data, as I am sure it will fill up quickly again.
Currently searching 4 B
I'll have a gander at the co-ords of the original site's and then visit them on this planet.

Sure, but only if Guardians had access to our way of displaying system maps.
as I received various PM regarding graphic settings for "combing the desert"
as U can see, even during night time U can spot the ruins from height 5km and a lateral distance of 0,5° lattitude - U need hawk eyes though
, thats why I still recommend to map the dusk/dawn area, as U get nice long shadows which should help identify possible geometric structures more easily. If we get cdr-groups doing parallel in dusk/dawn area, within 3.5 days we should have been able to map the whole potatoe (using the rotation of -6.9d)....

Yes, discard (FAQ on page 1!)
There's no sign of anything at +31.7877 +128.9711. I'll try -31.7877 +128.9711 next.
Sorry for the lack of knowledge but the way ED displays system maps is the official "real life" human way or just the way ED devs choose to use?
If the ED systems display method is exclusive, is plausible that the Guardians use the same method.
I totally agree with your theory, the fact we finding "middle" set of data can not be casual. It clearly suggests 2 more sites (with pretty the same amount of data, "casually"
Remember - MB said that solo was getting the expected data, so we should have 13 scans, not 36. So it looks like there are more than 3 ruins (maybe 9 - but that is a guess)

Ram Tah's mission statement saying "Please explore as many ancient sites as you can find".
From this and that the Guardians launched 3 arks leads us to believe there are more sites.
What if this is the only site we find? Knowing that there are probably more (and we have no idea of the number of sites) doesn't mean we will find them all. If all we have to go on is random exploration and pot luck then I can't see this being solved in the remaining 3 weeks.

Then this narrows it to first option which is communication array/relay. Therefore I believe we are agree on this one.
Which will be pointing towards 3-4 sites layout (sphere coverage) on planet even more. And for that the most important is planet size (radius) to estimate how far away are other ruins (if any). Unless it is a part of system wide "antenna" not a simple "all direction one-planet antenna"
Planet one:
pros: simpler layout, less variables
cons: moon or dwarf blocking some directions.
System-wide one:
pros: no blockers
cons: very complicated layout pattern on multiple bodies.
especially as our 'simple' in game system map is so unhelpful!! ( proper system map view should be 3d so you can see how far one planet is from another, our simple view gives no clue where any of the planets are in relation to each other, unless they happen to orbit each other ).
Given the 'ahem' exploit of being able to re-do the mission as much as you want this should not be a problem
as far as I remember its (from structure) in the same logic we used at Voyagers golden disks

from extrapolation it should become much more easy to find sites 3 to n after we discovered number two - until then everything is possible, including Beagle Point...
There's no official way of depicting it, but real life has many additional ways of depicting a solar system - in the shape of an orrery or a top view with elipses for orbits for instance. Generally FDev stuck to the in-game representation of a system within their clues (see nonograms) but one must remember those were designed as puzzles made by humans for humans.
Until now, nothing indicates that the sites are related to the arks.
-31.7877 -128.9711 on 4 B
NO LUCK - nothing at this area, scoured it from 3km. I'll try + + / + - / - + next, then I'll move to the Binary neighbor and try there.

-31.7877 +128.9711 is also a blank.
Anyone got any other ideas of where to search?
