The fact that Ram Tah "has discovered new sites" rather than "worked out some clues regarding the ruins site" suggests this is how it was planned all along. Otherwise I would have thought FDEV would have nudged our investigation in the right direction and let us carry on puzzling with a little more education.

I have suggested this twice now over the last few days, and no one has listened or attempted to try it. :x
I listened, thought it was good idea & asked if anyone would try it. So three of you have the same good idea! Get together with the other two & go test your hypothesis, it sounds like it could be the solution.
A research strike. We want scanners now!
What do we want: SCANNERS!
When do we want 'em: NOW!!!
So someone has been there and not found the ruins - name and shame!
I'm heading for IC 2391 Sector ZE-A d101 so that should be present soon - finger crossed for < 30 planets!I don't know about anyone else but I'm not going to pointlessly scour every inch of every planet. I'm hoping the system layout will have obvious commonalities with the other one and help narrow it down but if not, eh, I have no problem calling no joy.
I don't think you'll find anyone who disagrees we need better exploration tools.

Likewise, 10 jumps away. I'm hoping the system layout gives some clues.
Edit: I really wish you could synth heatsinks, would make a fast sprint a lot more engaging!

Start with the planets around the Y class ringed brown dwarf!
That is assuming there is one of course
I am going to go to the ruins first and pick up 2x of each ancient object, managed to lose mine (kerrching)
Which there I am going to select each of those systems in gal map and see if they line up with anything at the ruins

Do I need to listen for singing? Did anyone ever figure out if that was a valid clue or not?

47
and no brown dwarf

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!
Thanks for responding, probably redundant now we have 4 other systems to search.

Systems orientation for those that are interested.

It is an interesting suggestion. I've been saying for many months that there is something special about Merope - the UA shell points to it and the hidden UP signal feports ammonia world charCteristics with respect to Merope 5C. I suspect 5C may be the remains of a Guardian arc ship covered in stellar dust and meteor impact craters.... the lore may finally be coming to light.
Thanks for the galnet link, on my way to "IC 2391 Sector ZE-A d101".
Getting that in a vertical plane and overlaying it on the ruins might be intersting from a "did we have enough clues to get here without Ram Tah" perspective
On line to Merope?
Whoo-whooo. It's so fun to search (not)!)
I bet on the Synuefe ones only, they line up. The IC ones, FD put on the list just to create doubt and confusion.
Try convincing an Aussie or Kiwi of that, everything is relative!
