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
^ What Manuone said. Its easy to get carried away with all the possibilities and permutations and be overwhelmed and burned out. I only came back during this past week after a long absence (I missed all that good stuff with barnacles, UP's, UA's, crashed ships, deciphering images from audio and all that! Looks like it was fun!).
But I've thrown myself into this ruins enigma (36th hour since I last slept coming up! Don't worry, Im eating and moving around and such - DVT is a thing, after all).
I can't help but think its all linked. These puzzling ruins. the "Thargoids" at the same time. I think they're all interlinked. Ithink the race we are learning about is not the Guardians. I think they are the Thargoids - before they transited to Witch-Space. I think the decidedly non-organic ruins are perhaps the remains the inter-stellar-info net the Thargoids built. I think all those other locations, wrecks, UA's, UP's, signals, life forms, link to this.
Question I'm asking myself is "Does it point to the last colony, or to the home world?".
? Well, There's Merope, there's Soontill, theres Synuefe xr-h d11-102, Planet 1 B.
The Obelisks tell us of a home world and 3 ark ships. So, are the three locations above the colonies, or is one of them the home world (if so, I'm going with Merope).
Or, you know, it could all be a stream of nonsense thoughs brought on by too much coffee and not enough sleep. But I'm having fun puzzling it over, just the same.
The glyphs on the obelisk seem to be:
[neutron/white dwarf] [planet]
[planet] [moon]
[ringed star] [?]
The obvious answer is that this is a system diagram, but it doesn't seem to be precise enough to actually single out a system . It's also unclear whether the guardians were showing "what is in the sky above their planet" or "what is in the system". So there may be another planet in the system (which the moon orbits).
The final/first glyph is a total mystery - it could be an image of the 5 bodies, and an indication that the "middle planet" is the point of interest. Or it could be some kind of asteroid belt (or some hint as to where the system can be found?)
These ones?

Works for me.
And the seemingly arbitrary locations of the beacons bearing the relics has been bugging me. Maybe they form the outline of where the last location is, when overlayed with the galactic map somehow?
If Merope is the homeworld, and Synuefe xr-h d11-102 a colony that knew its relative position to the homeworld but not the other Ark Ship colonies when the earthworks where laid out, perhaps the metal structures key in to those two locations. If one is Soontill and we can get the beacon/relic overlay to marry up, then we could extrapolate the 4th!
I needed to get that out, half baked as it is, before the CG is done. Maybe there's something in there other than sleep deproved ravings. More likelly I'll be proven wrong pretty soon.
But I'm having a lot of fun grappling with it!
Fly safe, all. o7
