Also replace "hundreds of thousands" with "billions" of square kilometres, doubly fixed.
I think it's quite amazing how there's decades of successful game design philosophy to go on and this eyeball nonsense is what they came up with. I'd venture to say there's a clue we all missed, but then again I said that about the original ruins and its data before the CG.
Spoonfed. Until they get things to work?

But it took them 4 years and several mods to show the hows and whys to implement that feature.
The first ruin was found because Frontier gave us a teaser trailer with a brief shot of the ruins.
Some clever canonneer looked at the star patterns and planets alignments and worked out what system and planet it was on, and found it!
Frontier were caught napping as they hadn't finished creating the ruins fully. The configuration changed with a subsequent update to what we know now. It is said that there was an original set of clues to lead us to a ruin site (possibly not the one we have found) but this got scrapped and re-purposed so we never got any pointers to ruins, until this recent community goal.
I've lost track of the number of times I've said pixel hunts are terrible. This is yet another pixel hunt.
Nice one
Its all part of the frontier 10 year plan, spend as little as possible on game content, use existing game features to string out a shoddy story line based on Aliens Trilogy™.

Just about to scan my last one in Synuefe xo-p c22-17
That should be all landables in that sector searched at site 1 coords.

I found an audio cue using the first site. I'm uploading it to YouTube now and will post here when it's done.
Still uploading but should be available here when ready

While it uploads.. there's a humming you can hear when you're in orbital cruise.. it gets louder as you approach the ruins.
I was able to use this to "find" the ruins that xDeath already found. If this holds true it should be alot easier to scan the 75 possible landable bodies.

I felt like I was making good progress last night, flying over the surface keeping my eyes peeled.
Then this morning I went to look at a spreadsheet for results and realised how little of the surface of one planet I'd covered in two whole hours.
I feel a little deflated now.

applying various search crieteria to a needle in a haystack can only be useful

Morning 
I'm at home with a cold (I've told my boss I'm ill) so will be checking IC 2391 Sector ZE-A d101 B 5 which is the outermost landable planet of the second star.
It is the one that has the most reasonable temperatures, as the inner planets have surface temperatures of up to 300 C

Awesome. The video has just finished uploading if you want an idea of what it sounds like in orbital cruise.
It gets louder as you approach it... so you can pinpoint it by slowly turning as you go

my xbox account is out scouring the ruin systems for a few hours, switch to PC account and driving around empty systems on the border of the DRYMAN sector taht is 28k from both sol and colonia, and i have to admit today im having more fun in deep space than i am hunting (bout 4 hours on each) for ruins sites
