I recommend following the orbital path of the moons or suns where applicable. If there's one thing they seem to like it's setting the ruins in position relative to stellar bodies

Makes sense given the existing ruin observations. Any idea how we can do that? I can target the moon, but it doesn't show the orbit line?
 
Well, after searching for about 6 hours, I need to sleep. Keep up the search chaps!

Hi guys - if you are exploring, using both visual & audio - or if you are curious how the audio comes in to play when getting close to the ruins, I've made a quick training video.
It should show you how you can hear it over engines, F/A Off/On as well as distance.

There are a few tricks to assist your audio detection rate:
- If you can change "Windows Sounds, Playback-devices" the you device and the tab for "Advanced". Select 24Bit 48000HZ or better. I use this selection myself.
- In Elite, Audio options: Select "Night Time" mode. And you can safely disable music. (Screenshot provided at the end of the video).
- Fly as silent as you possibly can. F/A Off will turn off the engines. Periodical turn F/A on if you need to adjust your course.
In night-time mode the sound-engine in ED will amplify others sounds, but this means you should have as silent engines as possible.

NOTE from the field:
- If you fly at 5-6km altitude, it will be much harder to hear the sounds.
I recommend max 1km if you explore by sound.
The loss of sound-cues is higher per altitude-meter, compared to distance on the ground.

Great video, and great advice. I think I'll be switching my audio to "night time" mode, never even bothered trying out the different options there, lol!
 
Yeah ok this just seriously illustrates why we need scanning/search tools. Been sitting here straight lining for about 10hrs now looking for something that may or may not even be on this planet. And IF it does happen to be on this planet I'm looking for something the size of a needle in a hay stack the size of New York.
 
As far as I can tell, all the ancient relic towers are on different heights, and the systems that seem to line up with them are also on different heights compared to the galactic plane. I wonder, is there a correlation between the height differences of the bases of the ancient relics and the height differences of the systems compared to the galactic plane? If there is, it is a strong indication, that the ancient relic towers are indeed built to realign with the system locations.

Hmm, well this moon is tidally locked, so I guess it won't rise or set on any ruins (if there are any). But the star doesn't have an orbit loop either :(
 
Well good luck cmdrs.

I don't think I'm going to waste any more time on this joke. Hope someone can figure out some sort of search coordinates or something. I think I'll wait for Ram Tah's next cg to give us a better hint :).

I target the moon and then position my ship until the ellipses flatten into a line. Not perfect but close. At some point you'll be too close and the lines disappear but once you hit the planet you'll have coordinates and a heading.
 
Jus a quick quesion, forgive me if it was aleady asked ...
Guardian trailer , at 0:22 ... the monolith setting and the ridge on the right do not match the ruins we already knows, do they ?

In case you were wondering, we are looking for about 20 km2 worth of Ancient Ruins in a total area of 4,031,628,079 km2 of planetary surface. Good luck bruteforcing that. And thank you FDev for keeping us busy for the next millennia. [up]

Yes, I actually summed up the areas of the landable bodies in the four systems.

I Agree. Searching by Hand will most likely yield nothing.

I mean we are supposed to find the Sites in a few Weeks. The Key has to be Somewhere and it drives me Bonkers...
 
With thousands of commanders on it these ruins will be found, but it will buy frontier more time to come up with more hand placed grindy content. Wouldnt want to make it to easy or heck have hundreds of procedural sites like no mans sky shock horror that might actually create gameplay. So onward you srv addicted plebs i shall be joining you in the search just because it to fall into the srv addicted plebs category

We really are enabling Frontier to continue to invest in poor game design depth wise by swarming all around this content

It has been and they are not no. They got rearranged before the Event.
 
Ok, im at the Ruins site now (Original one) and Im listening to the ambient sounds. I can confirm that the creepy bug noises and other obscure noises does not occur in the ruins themselves, only outside them and after 2kms away from the ruins they stop. As the noise starts it sounds like a s piece of heavy metal scraping. I have 2 of each item in by inventory. So this might help very slightly in identifying the sounds. I recommend others come listen too and test. Some of the noise sounds like static or even a hint of a voice here and there.
If I had the means I would post audio but I can't right now.

What you're seeing there is the old ruins layout. They've changed it since the last patch.

Agreed. Just hoping I get some inspiration seeing the 119 system for myself.
 
Synuefe ZL-J D10-119 7A has almost perfect match for concentrations of surface materials, gravity, and composition. Im combing a canyon area now, hopefully i find something
