Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
I am looking forward to joining in the hunt, however I play only on the Rift. Any other Rift users confirm best altitude for getting a visual on the ruins, what with the resolution not being very good compared to using a monitor?
 
Flying 3.5k up same ethereal singing as ruin planet, as I said.

The singing is only audible within the 10km range of the ruins. From that altitude I would guess 6-7km at max.
Other 'singing' that may be heard outside that range belongs to the background skybox ambient sounds, depending on where you look.

If you know the difference, you'll be able to tell.
Mark you position, fly away same direction for 10kms - then listen again.
If it's the same ambient sound - then no.
If ambient sound goes away, then yes, you are close.

See my video for youtubified sound-samples of the ancient ruins for comparison:

Does anyone know if XDeath heard the ruins before actually spotting them?

I would love to flick back through whichever thread its in to find out... but... nah.

That's the rumour...

I found this very suspicious. Not ever in over 2 years have I not had a distance shown and this is the only body in the system with this anomaly.
System 119 has 37 non-gas or water giant bodies. Same amount as the obelisks in group E.(E&H in some spreadsheets)

Do what this guy said as your likely close... this can make sure
 
I'm on c3 and I'm hearing weird stuff the normal game music quit a while ago and this is all I have had from 10, -45 to 16, -45 sounds like a distorted robotic crow
 
Fruitless search of IC 2391 Sector ZE-A d101 C 3 A so far.
Parking for the night - happy hunting CMDRs.

Just to clarify, are we expecting to find a ruins site in each of these systems, or is there only one and we have to guess which system it's in?

The latter would really suck...

hmm. I was counting everything before including gas giants etc. Do any of the other sites add up to the same number of obelisks if you exclude the giants etc.?
 
Nothing to see here, it's a bug and I will report it in the bugs subforum. Sorry all.

Well, there's definitely something wrong going on here. I was writing the above message when this happened. I was scouting the surface of this planet and I got pushed high and I got the following message.

Now the drop zone in the planet is as high as 82km. Look at the ¿structure? in the first screenshot, right in the middle of the crosshair.

Tried relogging to check if it was a bug but I keep getting kicked off the planet.

Are we up to something or everything just bugged?

I am also in IC 2391 Sector ZE-A D101. I have been on both C 3 and C 3 a and have yet to hear anything. I did find a crashed ship at -36.9597 -116.4618 which made my heart skip a few beats before I got close enough to see what it was.

Doesn't show a distance for me in the system map as well. I've been targeting and searching 14B anyway, but have found nothing so far. By the way, There are 35 obelisks in group E/H and not 37 :)

I had a crash to menu at 14c whilst starting glide. Also noted that the area the game crashed was trying to load in one of the squares of planetary graphics at -29, -132 ish area
