Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

[dynamicbob]

I think the sites should be named for their discoverers.

theres no mechanism for naming planteary structures yet (but bases could be different)

It works even better if you place the camera under your ship, this way the ship is not in the way and you have a free look in all directions.

I usually just fly inverted and stay in cockpit view. In VR you have a pretty good viewing range.

What, like Xdeathopolis?

The only problem with the cobra in this case is that you can't see below you. An asp (or similar) where you can no just look around but under you as well, is better if doing it from the cockpit. Any ship, however, is fine if you level it off and use the external camera to do your left/right look sweeps.

Absolutely correct, I forgot to mention going below the ship, thanks!

I just mean on this forum... as a catalogue name when working forward with this mystery.

 

[gaplant]

CONFIRMED. I'm sat listening to that too

Do we know that it requires having the artifacts? And what is the range? It's not gonna help if you have to be mostly parked to hear it but hey its something.

Sounds good to me.

Xdeath Alpha site.

 

[DialBforBiscuit]

No they don't I'm afraid.

I'm struggling to find any similarities between the ruins system or hints from the ruins themselves.

I think there are hints, but they got an actual alien to design them.

 

[Mokonzi]

Or Xdeathnecropolis

Guys, guys! We need to jump a SRV on top of a ship and fly it around with high speed! The guy in the SRV can scan with the wave scanner during the ride!

Is that actually doable or would it fall off?

i would assume that physics takes over and as long as you keep it level it should set there just fine...

 

[DialBforBiscuit]

It slides off, sad times.

Something is odd here. I smell some manually added content...

 

[Megacrafter127]

It is, although there isn't much friction between ship and SRV, meaning it is VERY easy to fall off.[in fact, me and my friend tried it for fun once, when he launched it catapulted me 50-70m off the ground[in a low gravity setting, where the SRV thrusters even with full engine power can only get you 30m off the ground]].

 

[programad]

I think we should call It xDeath Valley.

Ok someone just screwed up the spreadsheet. In my first row was suddenly a different name and my second row just 2 rows lower is completely empty now but my name was put on someone elses row.
I am not sure what else he screwed up.

Taking a break from utterly blindly flying around planets, I decided to take another quick look at the ruins site and take a couple of pictures. If anyone still has any ideas on relating the ruins' shape to a possible location, have a gander at it. I tried outlining the "structures" that I saw in them. I also took a pic of the site from 12 km up using the low terrain material quality option, just to get a better idea of what I need to look for.

Thinking logically, are there any planets in these systems which have a surface temp of around 300K and a gravity of around 0.13?

If its the same species a similar planet would be preferable, just as we like terran planets

 

[dynamicbob]

the quickest way to finds ruins is to look for ctds and or glitches in the landscape, if in doubt try relog (it could also be glitchy fungoid sites)
