Why do I get the feeling we have all missed something "bleeding obvious" (notwithstanding it may be "bleeding obvious" in hindsight or if you know what it is!

Sorry but are you for real? You keep posting cryptic messages with no explanations as to what they are supposed to mean in ENGLISH!
Thanks for checking!
Okay guys, let's narrow down the search - let us assume there are similar planets to the original one they chose. When we narrow down the planets and check those over, then we should move on to others. Logical and may potentially speed things up.
What we are looking for is something similar to the below specs: (Underline more important).
Ancient Ruins:
300 Kelvin
9.5% Metal
90.5% Rock
0.0041 Earth Masses
Rotates: 6.9 days
1,122KM Radius
0.13 Gravity
No Volcanism
Orb Inclination: -0.43 degrees
Axial Tilt: -94.91 degrees
Has a Moon and is a Moon.
I have been searching Synuefe ZL-J d10-119 - And, out of all the planets, Synuefe ZL-J d10-119 11 B is the closest representation to the Ancient Ruins that we know of. The planet looks remarkably similar, is a bit smaller, and has similar metal content.
I have already invested 6 hours searching the flat areas with canyons (probably best areas to look because they can be so dead flat) around the equator etc. Nothing yet, but I have high hopes - especially since it orbits an Ammonia Gas Giant - and is the only planet that is spinning/rotating (granted, backwards), when comparing it to the other moons and planets in the system.

That's how far we have gotten. Now we are throwing artifacts at planets and yell "do something god dammit".
Good Idea! Although unfortunately, Smacking into the planet with the Totem had no effect either.
Unless the commanders are searching nearly wing on wing, and are flawless in their observation...assuming the current ruins and their visibility is the standard, even a few hundred commanders slowly and deliberately searching, more ground will unseen than seen. Think about the difficulties in finding geysers and fumeroles...those things have orders of magnitude higher visibility than the ruins, had numerous commanders refining the search and discovery process, and yet those things are still just as much luck in finding as any actual skill involved.
Last night I opened all of the system maps, and I did notice one thing they all had in common...
They all have a pair of landable planets in a binary orbit. But that was just my 1/2 sleep assessment at the time.
My theory is that the CG was created because we didn't figure it out from whatever clues are present at the ruins themselves. As opposed to the CG being part of the plan all along. I think it was the "backup plan if they don't figure it out".
I suspect that setting puzzles can be frustrating because one people having one bright idea can result in even a hard puzzle being solved quite quickly, or the same puzzle might not be solved in ages because that one spark was missing. That's why I keep chucking ideas out there, that and I don't have the time in game to test any of them
Heh, exactly the first one I want to search. Only because it's the only one with a moon in D101 though.

Will heading to the first Ruins tonight or this evening, have to change to my Keelback with a Fighter - Planet searches are really cool with it ^^
Is there a map or something else which area was already searched but 4 eyes are always better as 2.
I think this should be the right one https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ThjsXsz1N7R-JtSJsXl8w9ir8CrHui7ifHIXKwTCqfI/edit#gid=0
We need many searchers to find what we are searching for! I am equipped with an Planetary Scanner if it helps for Data research.

Then why not having Ram Tha give pointer to said usefull clues rather than hand out the solution of the enigma ?
Oh wait, was there really an enigma
?
Good bet this is how this quest will forward.
Very well could be. I tried it on a few bodies and it persists for the original one but not the moon.
Hard to be consistent with it due to the audio cutoff so here's hoping that issue gets resolved soon
The coordinates should be constant, regardless of the size of the planet. Degrees don't change.
