Anyone tried a mining laser there? I know its probably just differently coloured texture than that from mining, but just curious.

I think it *is* artistic portrayal, rather than directly usable to find something.
However, it may show things that are important to finding things - the obelisks, the relic-beacons, the close hanging moon...

My guess would be it's possibly a representation of a base on their home world.
Mainly because there are some similarities to this...

Repairing at Felice dock and now headed back out to planetary bodies C 3, C 3 A.
See some of you out there. (XbOne)

Check your transactions you should have a claim for XX credits to a superpower for a data something or other.....I found one of those in the same system, Alliance for 18K.
Posted this late last night! (below the dotted lines)
I still need some one's assistance in placing an accurate lat/longitude compass over the top of this image - to get more accurate measurements!

If anyone can add this theory to a fancy compass overlay with all the bearings, that would be amazing!
So, here it is:
If anyone can put a proper compass over that, and apply my theory to it, we might have something in the way of co-ordinates.
You'll notice the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the image - I think these could be, based on their positions and proximity:
1: Synuefe ZL-J D10-119 11 B
2: Synuefe XO-P C22-17 D 1
3: IC 2391 Sector GW-V b2-4 (planet: ???)
4: IC 2391 Sector ZE-A d101 (planet: ???)
The reason I include the IC 2391 Sector systems is because, if there are 4 sites in 4 systems, then perhaps my anti-clockwise hypothesis, below, may not be entirely accurate - at least, not for all planets. Other criteria may apply, such as Axial Tilt that is negative (minus) - so check those out and see if any are similar the Ancient Ruins we already know of.
AGAIN - if anyone can apply a latitude/longitude compass overlay to the ruins and get accurate co-ordinates based on my theory, we could be on to something - all 4 of these co-ordinates on all planets could be done in a day or two EASY - we just need to know the most accurate latitude/longitude numbers from my image as most of it was guess work in paint.
Thanks all, see you tomorrow!

If there was a pre-planned sequence in which we should find them they would swap Site 1 into the site we located first to remain consistent with the plan, site one points you to site two, two to three etc.
At some point we should find a site that matches what we now call the alpha site pre-change. then we will know which site was accidentally discovered first.
All of which suggests that there is a message and a set of instructions in the alpha site, we just have not worked it out yet.
Well I mean obviously the glowing is in relation to the artifact, we can clearly see that because of the color. But whether or not this is liquid from the artifact or electrical wiring or whatever it could be, my point was that I highly doubt that it has any meaning in relation to the puzzle. Whatever that glow is, I don't think it means anything.
I'm confused - are you not playing the game and able to do that yourself?
If we trey to analyse this image, what do we have here? :
- One ancient artefact, seems to work, may be it's our goal, the Graal.
- Behind the obelisks, there are big rocks, menhirs. We should see it when flying over it.
- The moon is pretty close to this planet.
I do not think we will find exactly the same site of ruins, especially if the "alpha" is in fact only the beta or the gamma...
Considering that we shouldn't have found site 2 as we did, and the stars were overlooked by the marketing team or w/e.. do we need to go back through promotional material and galnet news from around the time of the Guardians announcements and subsequent release.. see if we've missed anything that seems like co-ordinates? We have the systems, perhaps the clue we're missing to get the hunt started in the first place has been in plain sight for a while?
Maybe I'm just repeating well-known things, but...
Low graphical settings is more suitable for eye-searching of new ruin sites, than high. By Cmdr. Rupert Pyros's info, the XR-H D11-102 ruins on high graphics he did not see till less a kilometer, but on a low graphics that ruins was visible at nearly 20 km distance.
Can't check it right now because I'm at work.

there is this https://ixalon.github.io/elitedangerous/ although it was made back when the ruins was first discovered. Might be worth double checking they are still accurate.
yeah your probably right, desperation setting in [wacko], just wondering if we have overlooked something simple and thats the only thing i can think of that hasnt received much attention lol
Draw distance is right now, if you expect to find them your best bet is with the audio.
I am pretty sure that the alpha site now contains the alpha ruins. Thats why they had to switch it.
Actually, that would mean that if we compare the pre-change alpha site as it was discovered, with the alpha site we have now, then the difference would represent ... something. The object that dissapeared in the change would be the new alpha site, and the object that appeared in the post change site would be where the pre-change site is now.
or something like that.
y'know.

Whilst there is no reason not to look for possible information encoded into the layout of the existing site, it might just be shaped that way as that is how they built it. It might conform to a style they like, or it just got built organically like a regular town.
For example, it might be the equivalent of an alien explorer trying to calculate the position of other human bases by looking at the alignment of these structures.
Also I wonder how advanced the Guardians were/are? Humans have spread over thousands of systems and built advances stations and bases, mostly using hi-tech modern materials.
We have found one Guardian outpost, with possible four more on the cards. There may be others as well, but it's hardly like the human bubble. Of course, these could be far from their core systems and home world, but still making structures out of rock is a little old hat.
EDIT: that said the structures could mostly be gone, and what we are seeing is the outline impressions of where they were.

Okay guys have three thoughts:
It is apparent that a triangle was a significant part of their architecture. Its probably the most represented geometric shape. Given this picture: https://i.imgur.com/s1IyKaI.png, would it be possible that the 3-system "cluster" is their main area of space and the triangles expanding from there in two directions an expression of their love of geometry embodied in exploration? Therefore - could the central triangle have a third triangle coming out of its "bottom" part? Pointing to another system perhaps? Another missing relic perhaps?
However as to the discovered ruins pointing the way. It escapes my logic why would anyone build a base to have it show the way to more bases... Or build according to a planetary geometry system hundreds of LYs away.
And lastly the glowing ground. We have seen relics coming from the ground. Could it be more below?
