I tried something close to it - i flied on the line between unknown ruins... Hard part there is a proper azimuth...

Yeah, I'm still wondering how data can have a weight. Or we are using really heavy usb sticks in the future.
I thought of it, but since only one point is known, it leaves a great area to search. Since the circle to search is not one with constant lat or long, it is very difficult to follow it
with in game instruments. One would have to sample the circle coordinates every few degrees and use the 100-200 points as waypoints, while carefully looking at the surface.
And even then, the chance of missing ruins would be rather large due to how hard it is to spot then from more than a few km altitude.
And it could be an isocahedron or any other such platonic solids, and then there is the possibility that we're looking at ruins in different systems placed in such shapes.
So I handed in the mission and started again, collecting my 13mil of course. Now just brute force scanning.
However I just picked up Tech 10 at B6 carrying an Urn+Orb,
on my last run through I picked up Tech 10 at B6 with just a casket.
then c13 crashed the game. Just thought I would mention it. Does anyone else get differences?

Maybe worth noting that these associations are probably not meaningful, since both lists are simply in alphabetical order (in greek, gamma come between beta and delta).
I had this same thought and supposed that the orientation of the ruins site might be a clue to the orientation of the tetrahedron on the moon. Since the main ridge is at ~66 degrees angle, I calculated the other points along that line that are 1/3rd and 2/3rds of the way around the planet, which yielded (roughly) the coordinates (33.8,-21.9) and (-1.75,103.7). But I found nothing in either area.
Is someone checking signal sources? Cause this may be like those crash sites. Not the alien ones, the ones where you scan something in a SS and it points to a spot on the planet. Even if you find one pointing to the ruins we know about it'll give us a clue on how to find other sites.
Ive checked every single uss I have seen in this system. Havent gone out looking for them, just what I seen coming and going. All have been the same, degraded and they all have a single canister that is marked stolen if you grab it. I cant remember what is in the container, alien related as I recall. I havent tried to do anything with them but you can bet someone has.
I still think it has a similar function to. The axis of the planet is tilted into the orbital plane and a year/day are exactly the same.
This means that all stars and the Y-dwarf are in the same possition, every 6.9 days.
It's a perfect system for stellar alignment.
ok I have a reproducable crash (couldn't connect to the adjudication server) in *solo*. I can scan and collect everything for the 13 known messages. If I then scan C38 (not one of the 13 in solo but, like G19 it's lit) with O+Ur (which is what I scanned B6 with) it happens. Happened last night, and has just happened now. Can anyone reproduce?
Sounds good, is someone willing to try it?
Just how bugged do we think this whole ruins thing is then?
proposed that around 100 pages ago, but then CG fired up so I decided not to waste time following my theory and just sit it out until CG ends. Calculating bearing is doable, but one still will have to do a very long circle trip around planet, and then there is a very high chance of missing ruins anyway due to poor drawing distance of objects.
I had an adjudication error in solo yesterday, I think after scanning C38 but with different items.
Since C38 and G19 are lit in solo but don't do anything we know of, I usually end my 13-solo runs by scanning these to see if anything happens.
I agree with it being a poor game design to make puzzles overly complex requiring special set of skills and knowledge that most gamers dont' have. Also, there were a lot of sound theories and strong mathematical, astronomical, and other scientific approaches to solve this "puzzle", and so far they did not provide any result at all, which makes me think that there indeed might be no puzzle, and CG with next lead has been planned all long, and not made as crutch for next lead because we ended up being too stupid to decode that puzzle.
Come to think about it, maybe the reason why ruins were remade is because FD actually wanted to REMOVE the lead from ruins layout, not add it, so we don't discover next site too early like it happened with a current one, messing up with a story FD that FD slowly feeds us over the years?
Hi fellow commanders. I see that frustration begins to come by here. But remember all the awesome things that YOU ( the community) have done since the beginning of the game. Solving enigmas, decyphering so many codes, finding a lot of new things. I think FD this time has built a wall that we are not able to climb for the moment. But we must keep the faith .
That's the first time we can't solve quickly a problem and so they help us with this CG. I think we still can find by our own and I'm confident in this awesome community we are part of.
Don't just let frustration invade us. Together we can find everything we just have to hang on.
Cheers
