Isn't that what we are doing now? I think the much higher concentration of CMDRS in once system could only benefit the search, it's the way we are doing it now that may lead to nothing. We have split up into four areas with who knows how many CMDR searching what and if a cmdr in an area misses the ruins and then claims that section cleared you are in the same boat. Having one system at a time makes that a lot less likely to happen.

I'm inbound to D101.
In my trusty....DBS. lol
(It has the highest cruise speed in my fleet, and a good view).
I just managed to crash in to a star. Good effort!
Any idea on where I should begin, which planet, etc?

It depends on the orbital inclination, at 0° the planet will orbit at the plane of the system or parallel to the stars rotation, at 90° it will orbit perpendicular to the plane.
If a planet is tidally locked, a specific point will always face the main body like our moon, but the North Pole will always face north and the South Pole will always face south, only the sky rotates. if it also has a 90° Axial tilt then a point on its surface will always face some point in the sky, only the sky rotates. I think this is what happens at the alpha ruins.
It's for science, you monster.
I don't see what is wrong with this approach, surely it is the most logical?
I would have thought that this is the exact approach that would be taken in the real world if we were given the same scenario with the same tools...
Mind changed.
I no like D101. Closest landable planet is 350,000ls away. Lol

The Relic towers do fit surprisingly well.
The overlay is a 3D plot of the systems, excluding Synuefe ZL-J d10-119(Synuefe xr-h d11-102 is the blue one, near the small pad).
Projection is in the XZ plane (Galactic plane), along the Z axis(SagA to Sol). There is probably an offset to apply because the Guardians would not have Sol as (0,0,0). Compared to SagA, it's close though.

HEh - I'm there!
Alright, with the replie to this post I think this really is the new rout we need to take. I'm all down for helping as I can. I at least have the next day and a half off to help and then every day until about noon. We need to get a list of CMDRS together who want to help just in case this doesn't become a whole Canonn wide change of search. So, where shall we start?
If you're put off by 20 minute in SC you're not going to like the planet eyeballing
NOOOO
I *strongly* advise that a search is conducted along parallels of latitude, rather than meridians of longitude.
Using longitude means that the spacing between adjacent CMDRs will not be constant. If you truly want a coordinated search, then keep the search grid along parallel lines at a set distance. Perhaps 4km spacing??? Rather than diverging/converging tracks.
Stay on the parallel of latitude using the heading/bearing of 90° (or 270° if desired)
The actual parallels of latitude will vary on each planet for a constant spacing of, say, 4km, and each of the desired parallels would need to be found on each planet by using 2 CMDRs. The first stays on the equator, or desired parallel, while the other moves north (or south) by 4 km. Note the actual number of latitude and annotate that in the search spreadsheet.
I theorise that the bodies in question will have a sector of latitude that has constant line-of-sight with the known ruins. (or perhaps with another ruin site, or even all other ruin sites at the same time?)
I want to be there to help with all this, bu unfortunately still 12 kylies out returning form the far side of the core.

This is the difference I mentioned earlier. Is it relevant to deciphering the puzzle? Should we be working to the old layout
As it was
As it is now
I may be barking up the wrong tree, but its a bark worth having.

So two sections were moved, and thus shuffled the order we're supposed to find the ruins, per FD.
With that being the case we need to focus on the data, directional reference...etc EVERYTHING that those two sections could possibly reference.
Therein lies the key forward.
There are two spreadsheets posted here.
SPREADSHEET 1: Has all the coodinates for each lanadable planet
SPREADSHEET 2: Is a mass of single coordinates that have been scanned.
Wouldn't it be more useful to use SPREADSHEET 1? As it'd be clear what specific areas have been searched.

Okay, ladies and germs! Here we go a change in search tactics.
I feel as do others in this thread, that we need to reorganize our search efforts. There are way too many possible candidates spread over the four systems for us to just go off at random and begin searching till we find something. We don't have the necessary tools to be succesfful and very few hints if any at all.
Here is what I'm proposing, and what others have proposed before:
We need to all take a step back and take a breather and then collect ourselves.
A system by system approach is the best choice in this situation. If we could all get on the same page, with the numbers of members we have, we should be able to knock out a system much quicker if we are all within that system.
I've heard suggestion of doing this but nothing much than just suggestions and so I am going to set up the time and place:
I want to take a zig-zag pattern through the systems starting from the original site outward.
Taking a zig zag pattern lead me to the first system: IC 2391 SECTOR ZE-A D101
This is where we should start and then just go from one landable to the other until we knock out an entire system. We still need to organize this once we get enough CMDRS but that shouldn't be too hard. We might need to have two types of teams so we can search when one of the other timezones are asleep.
Anyways, anybody who is up for this please find a way to make this known so we can collect your names and start the process of searching. It is now 5:42 AM my time, which makes it 12:42 PM GMT I believe. So we need to find a time that is good for people or at least find a way to set up the start locations for CMDRS who want to participate. Again anybody who wants to help in setting this up please let me know so we can work on that.
Now if this is something Canonn wants to make official and change how we are searching I'll let the pros set up and organize, otherwise we will have to do it our way. Anyways, right now I'm in the planning phase of this, been searching all not after working so my brain is not 100 percent, but as soon as it gets a bit of relief I'll start setting up a plan if nobody has or if Canonn hasn't decided to change the search their own way.
Thanks CMDR MadRaptor, feel free to add me in game!

I cannot see this puzzle including the old layout, that only pushes out people who did not see or know the previous layout. it would mean an out of game google search
Making a community spreadsheet to show obelisk combinations is one thing, getting the community to network efficiently enough to get in formation/record what ground has been covered in a spreadsheet is another. We have the numbers of Elite players to do this, but not everyone uses reddit or the forums, not everyone is part of a private group, and they may as well be totally cut off from any other commander who isn't in the same instance as them.
