I'm joining the cause, so sorry if I'm pointing something already known. And I'm near A* so I can't come and try for now.
But with CMDR Dreamstate idea, if you found a 4th site, why couldn't it be a 5th site or something at the center of the 4 ?
 
It's alright, someone's put a post up on the previous page with a photo that shows them! ;)



It's the two triangular groups outside of the perimeter directly down from the large circular platform in that image.

The old maps are all in a section on the ruins further down the front page than the current info.

Yeah that was me with the photo :) But the guy who was asking about the obelisks near beacon 2 said it weren't the one on the picture I posted. That's why I was asking what exactly he means. Because I only know of these the pre- and post-patch ruins. But anyway. No sense in discussing this if the the guy who started talking about obelisks near beacon 2 doesn't answer.
 
GUYS!

If this hasn't been thought of before, I could use some help - I heard when you want to go to the "opposite" side of the planet, you just add 180 to the co-ords - I'm not sure though, but please can someone help me with working out the co-ords for the picture I did below?

I've just tried to use notepad and a calculator to do it, but I don't think I'm doing it right:

-31.7877 -128.9711 (ruins we know of)

148.2123(+) 51.0289(+) (2nd ruins)

148.2123(+) -51.0289(-) (3rd ruins)

EDIT: Longitude won't go past 91.1xxx'ish... :/

You want to find 2 points on sphere that make largest equlateral triangle with ruins point. The problem is that infinite number of such points exist.
 
Longitude goes from -90 to +90, 0 being the equator. Latitude goes all around the planet so -180 to +180. For the exact opposite coordinate change + to - or vice versa on longitude and add or subtract 180 for latitude.

I think you have Latitude and Longitude the wrong way round. Longitude lines go from pole to pole (from 0 to +180 going east, 0 to -180 going west) and Latitude are the rings around the planet (north pole +90, equator 0, south pole -90).
So reverse the sign of the Latitude (first Number), and +/-180 to the Longitude (second number) for the opposite point on the surface.

from coordinates -31; -128 to parallel coordinate + -800 km in a straight line

1.The radius of planet "1b" = 1,122 km
2.(square of the hypotenuse)

Okay, revised co-ords:

58.2123(+) 51.0289(+)

58.2123(+) -77.9422(-)

(working out below of the difficult longitude)
-128.9711
-180(-51.0289)
0 (77.9422 spare)
-77.9422

The second one was extremely hard to work out, and could be wrong... I was literally watching the numbers go up at each of the triangular bits as to know what lat/long numbers were going up and down by going forwards and backwards in my ship - so basically, both bits of the metal were both + in latitude, but only the top right one was +latitude and -longitude...

So I'm hoping both are accurate;

58.2123(+) 51.0289(+)

58.2123(+) -77.9422(-)

Oh, you're probably right. English is not my first language.
 
This probably sounds crazy. but are the ruins changing at all? Like becoming less obvious and sinking into the ground?

I just keep thinking the ground is different when i go there. Also some images look much more obvious than others from above, or is it just light playing tricks on me?

Use these 2 images for comparison, top one is from the spreadsheet and the bottom one linked in an earlier reply which was taken in october
