I was also having that impression that ruins could be somewhere nearby, and the whole scan mechanic was loaded into one big instance, hence the bleed. I described my observations maybe a dozen page back, hard to keep up with speed of that thread. But anyhow, it is good that some1 else notices it. At the very least we might have our hats made of same tinfoil.
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
Tried your settings, and tbh it did not made much difference, at least on my end.

(Not a dig at you) - do we really want a whole list of 'not here' posts? Even in a spreadsheet unless ppl are going to co-ordinate I think there is little point - what do others think.
Now if there was a spreadsheet to report into, maybe that could be useful (though really we'd want a spherical spreadsheet
).I like your hypothesis 2... the outer rings around group A obelisks could be the rings of the dwarf star... did anyone tried to find anything on planets 1a 1c 1d?
actually, slowly I am convinced that this is an outpost too, reasons:
- from current understanding FTL communication only may be achieved (although current science tells different) by quantum interlock technology,
hence the 4 beacons (with their relics beeing the canister for the interlocked quantuum medium) hint to be the com-devices with Home-world plus 3 arches destinations, as the com-channel is uniquely paired.
- if for on-planet comms "traditional" radio-signal is used we would be talking about thousands of relay-sites, as this body has no atmosphere which could bend/reflect long-waves and transmission-radius would be limited to the horizon of sender, in this case (estimated) a few kilometers, as the bodies radius is quite small and the beacons just reach a few dozend meters heigth.

I think we need a bearing verified. If someone checks bearing 0, we must write down who did and how much time and distance he flew.
P.S.: "Operation Comb the Desert" hahahaha

Sum that with the fact that Horizons only allow us to land on planets without atmosphere, makes a better picture of the scenario.
The risen beacon combinations could be a "dialing system".

It could also be the center of the network, sitting in the middle of a tetrahedron with the edge-points beeing the Home-World plus the 3 colonies...

I agree the data needs to be collated, but there have been posts just checking coordinate pairs, not even bearings. There are at least limited bearings, but 'quite a few'* coordinate pairs. And no-one** is going to read them all
* bajillions
** an estimate
Anyway, just an opinion! (Could we even use a tab in your spreadsheet to coordinate bearings?)
The thing is you will never return to the ruins if you stay on that bearing. As you travel the planet, your bearing is taken from North, so in fact you will probably spiral all the way down to the south pole.
Check out this Wiki image. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_(navigation)#/media/File:Bearing_and_azimuth_along_the_geodesic.png
You can recalculate your bearing every few minutes (although this will be very tedious), or the only reliable way to map the planet is to travel 2-4km north or south and travel at a heading of 90 or 180.
I'll be online tonight assisting with the mapping.
I'm currently trying to head out from the ruins in various 30° angles compared to the northern bit of the ruins (65°). It's a blind shot, but I've not much better to do. The angles are of course a bit approximate due to the original reference picture having a slight perspective effect to it. Currently trying a 35° angle, which is heading to the direction H cluster seems to point at.
And I did waste my time checking if the moon and the main planet align compared to the ruins, but it only works at a certain time of their rotation and amounts to absolutely nothing. Looked neat for a little bit though.

I was just checking off the simple solutions first. Sorry for bothering.

The sheet is free to anyone willing to edit it so we can share the information with everyone.
I can't create the tab because I don't remember what information ED gives us in addition to "the real" world flight time. If someone can create a tab with bearing (from ruins), altitude, end coords and other information, I will be glad to do my own recon flight to the "comb the desert" operation when I arrive at home later today

Reading your post have striken me. If Guardians were so much into geometry, maybe they could have alined their ruins along multiple axis of exact angles (0,30,45,60,90)? Did anyone tried to test that avenue of approach?

Posted similar theory yersterday with inserted tetrahedron. Still need to translate it into coordinates to allow ppl for search.
Ok going out on a limb here, but has anyone thought of checking the crash site planets for ruins? Obviously those ships were there for a reason...

Do we know why the tall beacons sometimes come up with 1 of the 3 posts missing at the top to the side of the blue relic?
