Because changes were made. If the sequence didn't matter, xdeath going out of order would have caused 0 changes. But he did and it did, my question and hypothesis is; why did that cause changes? And i think it's because there IS an order and it's telling us how to go back and forward instead of just forward.

I agree in part. Part of me wonders if we were meant to discover the ruins (current ones) first. It was always FD's intention this was a breadcrumb trail style quest. Were the ruins we discovered not ready (not setup properly?) and some other ruins were? If that's the case were the ruins transposed from one planet to another to facilitate the fact we discovered the current one hence the changes in both layout and design (we seem to have lost a lot of surface detail since the update in the ruins)?

We are all hypothesising and making assumptions off the back of zero evidence. FD are starting this again and we are now back on track as far they are concerned assuming the second + ruins are actually there?

Normally if beacons are added for story they are persistent (relog to check), and appear when you are < 1000Ls away. I have seen no such beacons when scanning all of one of the 4 systems, I guess they could be in the other 3.



Some of the earlier puzzles around UA/UP seemed "complex", even the nonograms / beacon messages. You may be right, but we have high standards :)

Ahh, I remember the days when I thought: 'Having a beacon that spits morse code every 1 hour so that you potentially have to float an hour in space for a clue is cruel gameplay' - they've raised the bar since then :)

And to think someone on Reddit bet 10 million credits yesterday that we will find all ruins and all data scans until he finishes work. When I mentioned how incredibly difficult it is to find small ruins on over 50 planets I got "you underestimate the work the CMDR's from the Canonn do".
I mean we haven't been able to find any clue whatsoever to new ruin locations in the past few weeks. Currently it doesn't look like we are on track to find any further clues. Searching the surface of over 50 planets via bruteforcing for something you see from 3 km range is extremely difficult.
It's like trying to find a small village on earth which is the only village on the whole planet and you can only (barely) see it if you are within 3 km distance.

Just in case the actual number of obelisks is important we have..

6XexGII.png


Cluster A: 10 (star? pattern or two triangles offset by 180 degrees)
Cluster B: 6 (triangle)
Cluster C: 50 (4 groups of 24 plus 2)
Cluster D: 12 (2 rectangles)
Cluster E: 8 (triangle missing corners with 2 markers in place instead)
Cluster F: 8 (star? pattern if you include the 2 marker stones otherwise an X?)
Cluster G: 36 (2 rectangles of 18 each)
Cluster H: 27 (possibly split into 3 lines and one rectangle, or all one big rectangle)

It might also be significant which obelisks were active in SOLO in each case and any direction this might indicate.

Cluster A: top right point of the star active
Cluster B: bottom left corner of triangle active
Cluster C: both additional obelisks and one corner of 2 of the groups active (rotation of pairs of groups etc would not match active obelisks) (did I get these correct, the images show this but IIRC in SOLO at least one of these is inactive, right?)
Cluster D: lower group, upper row middle active
Cluster E: top right corner of triangle active
Cluster F: bottom left corner of star active
Cluster G: 2 of each group active (rotating a group would show active obelisk match with the other)
Cluster H: 2 obelisks in the end rectangle active

Dropping a Totem in orbit around one of the planets in alleged system had no known effects, and did not react.

Although it did taste different afterwords.

It would be so much better if there were some way of marking what you've covered (i.e. 'painting' an area on the Surface Map as Visited/Not Visited). They couldn't store that for every single planet you've ever visited - the data size would be insane. But they could store it for planets in the current system, and as soon as you leave the system the surface visited data is erased.

Some form of ship wave scanner, or echo-location of contacts from the discovery scanner would be a big step forward too, rather than simply random searching. I'd be perfectly fine if they increased the search area, as long as they gave us some tools to make the search less random.

Hello, CMDRs!
I'm just newbie, but...
You see the same thing as I see?

*It's symbol from Barnacle.

Besides that, Guardians are pretty good in genetic engineering... And "Barnacles are genetically engineered based on an earlier life form"
Coincidence? I don't think so.

You get a surface scan whilst you fly low with gear down, why can't we use it at higher altitude?

It's dumb. period.

Much as I like the idea of ruins => map when I look for on earth I find ancient site => observatory (if anyone has examples of sites being maps - plz share). For instance Stonehenge

"Stonehenge’s latitude is unusual in that only at this approximate latitude (within about 50 km) do the lunar and solar alignments mentioned above occur at right angles to one another. More than 50 km north or south of the latitude of Stonehenge, the station stones could not be set out as a rectangle." (from Wikipedia - reliable eh!)

This ties in with our existing site, which ppl have noted has alignments with the moon etc.

Now if I was cleverer I could work out the latitude to scan the planets at...
