Woohoo, cant wait to get back out to some of these systems [yum]
And yet people are still having more fun with all this crap than the dour "we told you so" sayers are having telling us so. Everyones mileage varies.
what kind of POI?
ON THE FRONTPAGE
iirc they said that Solo was working as intended, not open/PGs. So that would mean 100/13 = around 7-8 sites?

Assuming that all sites must be even is...well...an assumption. Also MB seems to have suggested Solo is working as intended so maybe we only got 13 legitimately.
I'm curious , where is 0,0 ? more importantly, who decided where 0,0 is? I thought most planets wobble around a centeral-ish axis, so logically 0,0 is some sort of average of the center at the 'top' of the planet, define top?, from whoms' perspective?
We ( as a species ) have have decided which way up the galaxy should be viewed. It's just as likely an alien race might decide on the opposite way.
It gives me a headache to think about it, but at some point in history, someone decided our magnetic north, was up and south is down. Logically the north and south poles of any planet are dependant on your ships rotation at the time of viewing, our ships have no UI to tell us how we are rotated in space relative to the galactic plane, so we have to manually figure it out based on our known location and how the star field looks, which is fine on edge of the galaxy but impossible when you get close to the center. So getting back to my pointless point, which way is up ?
Indeed. Mybe it could be interesting to check the position of the 5 known systems to see if a pattern emerges. Like a triangluar / exagonal mesh.
Im stuck 500ly from the bubble in a fully loaded T9 running hauling missions. Hmmm, self destruct is tempting at the moment. If it wasn't for my crewmate, Rebeca Malone, I'd probably do it.
So, any plans to organize the search so we can focus in a planet at a time or should be better to cover more planets at the same time?

It may just be that there are different items we need to bring back to scan more at the Alpha site
The data told us the ruling clans came from the north, so maybe thats a hint that they regard north as "up" much as we do.
Actually in Solo mode 15 different obelisk light up but only 13 can be unlocked.
I've done it maybe five times now and I can just about manage counting to 15.
And there are stickies on the front page of this thread; https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...ology-and-other-mysteries-Thread-9-The-Canonn

I have suggested this twice now over the last few days, and no one has listened or attempted to try it. :x
Hey mate, don't worry, I listened and I'm sure others did too!
So while I haven't actually gone out and tried it directly, here's the info I have to feed in - having your ship close to the obelisks stops scanners working - this applies to both your scanner and those of other cmdrs. This doesn't necessarily rule out your idea though - perhaps there is a goldilocks distance for the ship. In my personal experience there seems to be a goldilocks zone for how close to an obelisk you have to be in and SRV to be able to scan it, and sometimes it's quite big and sometimes it's frustratingly small. Maybe something similar applies for ships. Also, perhaps ship size plays a part - I was in a clipper. A smaller ship might be easier to position precisely.
On the recalling your ship bit - good idea, but it's a real lottery where your ship will land and it's probably not going to be where you need it to. So that side of things might not be a go-er unless anyone knows of a way of getting your ship to land in an exact spot when you recall it.
Hope that's all useful!
Damn stuck @ work
Actually not, I'm working from home but do actually have work to do
Maybe I can have a crack in my lunch hour.
Me thinking the same, but ...
Here is a pointless thought - No one go looking!! we have NO TOOLS to search a planet - which makes ZERO sense - we need FDev to give as proper scanners NOW!!!
