I doubt there will be too much correlation between the planet hosting the original ruins site and the new ones. Look at human outposts. They're built on all types of airless worlds and in all sorts of weird locations. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

The lore we have about the Guardians suggests that they might have built in patterns for aesthetic reasons as much as practical reasons.
 
Okay - the Ancient Ruins are built on a planet that spins ANTI-CLOCKWISE - I'm of the personal assumption that this is important to the Guardians on location picks, and their home world may spin anti-clockwise.

After narrowing down the results in all systems, out of ALL the planets combined in ALL FOUR systems, ONLY FOUR planets have an Anti-Clockwise spin!

Further narrowing down these results, I have only picked the BEST TWO results, below:


Systems and planets matching Ancient Ruins criteria:

Synuefe XO-P C22-17 D 1

Synuefe ZL-J D10-119 11 B


The following did not make the cut:

Synuefe XO-P C22-17 AB 1 -
planet radius too large, too hot, is a High Metal content planet (not rocky), higher gravity, a lot denser.

Synuefe XO-P C22-17 AB 3
- like AB 1, very similar in all aspects - not at all similar to Synuefe Ancient Ruins.

Based on the evidence, I think Synuefe XO-P C22-17 D 1 and Synuefe ZL-J D10-119 11 B are THE BEST two candidates to search for ruins!


Fair enough, I will be at Synuefe ZL-J D10-119 11 B in about 45 minutes. Parked there already, just the small issue of finishing work to get out of the way.

What evidence? Beyond completely arbitrary lack of reasoning, what do we have to suggest that these criteria are any more likely than any other criteria? I will go back to my single point analogy. What we have is a single point here. If we had two points, at least we could define a line, though that line could still be on any one of an infinite number of planes, but at least then we would know we weren't looking on the surface of a sphere...
 
Has somebody tried to get disabled by a UP in one of the systems? Perhaps, they give in these systems other audio spectograms with a hint to the right planet.
 
Technically all planets rotate counter-clockwise. Venus is upside-down. Thank you, Right-Hand Rule.

Yep, Venus is a mystery :D scientists think it could have been knocked out of its original orbit by a "massive object"... and now there is all this talk of a "massive planet" that has a massive orbit around our sun :D
 
Maybe because there is a massive difference between a simple outpost and a structure that has a much more important and complex purpose.

How do we know it isn't just a simple outpost? Maybe this is their definition of a simple outpost. If they came across one of those big round surface ports we have they may think it's special in some way, when in fact they're everywhere.

Well yes, but when viewed from the same point in space all planets rotate the same way but Venus orbits and rotates the other. Then forget about rotation and look for the planet which is upside down.
If in all 5 systems there is only 1 planet each which has this specific trait then that could be places to start searching.

Because narrowing it down to two planets is better than checking 50 of them?

What evidence? How about this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ThjsXsz1N7R-JtSJsXl8w9ir8CrHui7ifHIXKwTCqfI/edit#gid=0

Read please!
 
Hey cmdrs, when is this mission supposed to end? How much time do we have left?

Nobody knows. You can still turn in and get the mission again after re-docking which resets the mission timer to 1 month. If there is a cap as to when the guy wills top giving us the mission, that I don't think anyone knows.
 
Given what we have I'm all for the brute force approach and focus in one planet at a time en masse covering every inch of all the planets. We talked about it this morning and seems the only viable option at the moment.

The only way that even this approach is viable is if we can get definitive confirmation from the devs that the ruins are in fact in the live game, and are in fact findable, and by findable, I mean that the devs have entered in the game in the live build that the players are in, and have actually gone and seen them for themselves. Remember, we had official confirmation that Rams mission was tested and confirmed working as intended...before they figured out that it wasn't, after enough reports and complaints.

If we are supposed to do a brute force search, and team work is the answer, that's gonna kinda suck for solo players.

Perhaps like Mercury, which had about half of its mass blasted into space by some great cataclysm. And that massive planet at the edge of the Sol System is more than just talk. Astronomers have narrowed down its location to a small patch of the sky, but we'll need much more powerful telescopes to spot it since it's so far away and gets little sunlight.

I doubt there's a correlation to Venus or Mercury though, as anything that could've knocked Venus upside-down likely happened before or during the Late Heavy Bombardment.

Hi guys, kinda new to this gig but doing my best. A quick question if I may - Is there a repository for the information gathered so far - somewhere I can go to take a direct look at what's been discovered so far? People keep mentioning background lore on the Guardians, sonograms, etc and while you all know what you're referring to, I'm a little lost.
 


Damn you. You owe me a new keyboard (coffee all over it).


I don't really think we can solve this.

On a side node. Funny thing happened, I found a brown paper envelope with £100 in it at my local bus stop here in Hertfordshire. Some idiot must have dropped it lol.

Uh, I was supposed to pick that up for some guy down the street, said he didn't want to be noticed. Can you bring it back?

Unless you skim the surface at around 7.5K or less with graphics set to low finding anything is impossible;

It's rather ridiculous that ultra is worse than low.

Also note that with ultra turned on you see a lot of false positives, i.e. I saw lots of ridges, straight lines and "other sites" which flatten out to nothing as you approach!

(EDIT: of course assuming any new sites has simialr piles of earth)
