was taking a break from the scan, just flying low to the ground and i stumbled across this
System: IC 2391 SECTOR ZE-A D101
Planet: C 3 A
Cordinates: 1.3538, 0.7080

C 3 A has so far ecologically and geologically become a very interesting body to explore. It's got silicate vapour geysers, newly discovered fungus-like life, lava, mountains reaching 9 km in height (fun to drive up, deadly to drive down), and it has many similarities to the planet alpha site was found in.

But even it hasn't yielded any results in terms of finding more guardian sites. Any ambient noise I've heard there was the crumbling rock and whistling that canyon formations seem to be responsible for.
Well, worth the trip, I guess.

by far the most interesting and annoying planet i have spent any extended amount of time on, loving all the stuff to look at, many of which were a first time, but annoying as hell that we can find small tree's and geysers but cant find a set of ruins likely with more glowing obelisks etc maybe it isnt here after all ?

Just thought, if you are at 0,0 and you take a bearing of 231.4 for a distance of 13601km you should arrive at the first ruins site. True ?
Assuming that is true you can specify a location in the form of a bearing from 0,o ( but who's definition of 0,0 ) and a distance ( assuming the Guardians are more advanced than us in the UK and actually moved to the metric system already :p )
Why would we assume the Guardians would encode the location of another base on another planet in a form that another species would understand?

The bearing is actually 256 degrees from 0,0. (Prime Meridian on the Equator)

I went to check it out last night when the info was first posted on this thread. Found nothing so logged off and went to bed. Did a final skim of the forum on my phone and found out the coords originally given were wrong (had an extra "-" in them) so I had landed in the wrong hemisphere. Pondered whether to get up and log back in to check it out. In the end middle age and gravity won. Looking forward to check it out today after work.

If anyone is around the original ruins and has some spare time it would be good to see if we can get the same loading time anomaly as the Formadine Rifters used to detect their settlement: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...Formidine-Rift-(Part-3)?p=5057837#post5057837

I don't suggest trying this on new ruins yet, as we don't know if it will work. (And it is arguably an exploit :) )

I tried it at the new ruins site and it loaded normal, same as the old ruins :)

Edit: Of course I am kidding :)

Actually could be quite a fun mechanic to try in a group - try to sync the drop to glide, whoever re-appears last has found the ruins :)

And I changed my post above from ruins => systems, as this thread will explode, again!

Hello CMDRs o7,

My theory from canonn discord,
(although if someone else said the same before me, then of course it's their theory but not seen it yet here ^^)

So previous ruins site was at the following location. The vertex of a roughly equilateral triangle made from 2 ejecta lines and a ridge/canyon.
This is going off the fact that guardians like geometric shapes etc.

So there is one instance of this occurring in the following system. i.e. it's the only planet in that system which has this feature.

It's the same moon as the one with the space trees, which occupy the major crater in this triangle.
Top vertex Coords are 24,54 bottom right coords I think are 8,60.

Since this moon is quite small it's easy to make a pass across the length of the ridge at 300m/s within a few minutes
But I could use more eyes. If you are nearby please message me on the discord. Could be fun could be nothing.

Happy hunting CMDRs!

Because it's a game not an actual alien race and it's worth a punt?

Also this:
It seems that the guardians had a particular fascination with geometric shapes, which they used to illustrate connections between themselves and the world around them.

And this:
With this data and the help of the galactic community we’ve partially mapped the monolith network, which formed the backbone of their communications technology, and discovered that they too are arranged in geometric patterns.

I'm on D101 C 3.

I did my best to fly a bearing of 231 from 0,0.

2 large craters follow that line roughly. Both with nothing in. Lol

Currently just gliding FA/off over the surface on that bearing.

I've always noticed longer than usual (very long beginning to think it has crashed length) drops from orbital cruise near the original ruin site. Wouldn't want to try that as a method of finding the sites though.
