Been scouting the brain trees I've noticed there's 4 different types of stuff on them .

They give mostly materials but it seems mostly random got a feeling they are a early form of barnacle

Still its been a change from scanning planets

the ancient orb seems to make a good diversion knocking it about like a football

was hoping it grow lags and showed me the way lol

Ugh... Sorry CMDRs. I got my hopes up and hit post before I even thought of re-logging and checking for consistency (been a bad pain day and took me a few minutes for that part to even click).

Anyhow, it was just a bog-standard POI but I couldn't find whatever it was there for (Frontier didn't sneak in a helper for us). Oh well, back to the search.

Sorry for the noise.
 
The phloem bit is weird - but cordyceps? That's not a random fungus. It's the fungus which inspired ND to create the last of us, and is generally scary as hell (if you're an ant).

The idea of 'giant, mutated space cordyceps' is utterly terrifying :).

That's probably why they'd heard of it aye, but it's just one genus. I'd consider it pre-confirmation that it'll be used in an anti-thargoid CG at some point, but don't get too fancy with the reasoning.

Btw while the ant species is the one that's been made so famous there are others. Check out Summer Grass Winter Worm...
 
Is this for real? Or just the usual ambient noise you get on any planet?

Was just linking it, but coincidently also just realised it's Panzertard's video, (that avatar looked familiar) :) i'm sure he can answer that.

That's the real sound of the Ruins specifically.
The ambient sound of spaceflight & planets is quite different.

If drop to subspace at 50-100 km you will hear the 'space' ambient sound quite clearly. It's the same for most planets.
If you hear 'singing' while over a planet, it's the 'normal flight ambient' sounds.
Except if you hear what's in the training video, which is unique for the Ancient Ruins.

after far too many hours flying over planets upside down, listening for "ruin" noises, i decided to take a break and have a go a decoding the ruins again.....you know you need a proper break when you end up with something like this picture, the only thing to note, and im not sure its at all relevant, but the distance between the pillars on the perimeter of the site are at different intervals (the numbers in the pic are unimportant, the fact they are not regular is......interesting)

Boy! You really do need a break! Or a tranquilizer if you prefer. That is alot of lines!

In other news. I am finally heading out to XO-P C22-17. Any advice for a planet I could search that has not had alot of attention?
 
I like it. We'd have to leapfrog across the planet to see the data but I can make a proof of concept and see if it's worth expanding on. Thanks iFred, thanks everyone who responded.

Also, I didn't mention memory scraping, jwhich would most certainly get me banned, ust screen scraping i.e. OCR to get the coords, which would not work well at all given the moving background but it's the only place I know with certainty we can read the current coords.

Anyway, I'll plug away at it and post again if it comes to something. In the mean time, good hunting.

TCE gets planetary Coordinates from the Journal, I don't know if this is only when you've landed though. Ask Eventure

Can confirm it's real and is linked to the ruins. Can be heard from a few km away.


It would be useful for someone to confirm whether or not picking up a relic has some effect on the sounds.
 
While playing around the numbers(site coordinates, planet and moon axial tilts and orbital inclinations), I noticed the following(could be coincidence though):
Code:
(-128.9711°)-(-31.7877°)=-97.1834°
[longitude]-[latitude]
is very close to
Code:
(5.21°)+(-6.8°)+(-94.91°)+(-0.43°)+(-0.11°)=-97.04°
[moon-tilt]+[moon-inclination]+[planet-tilt]+[planet-inclination]+[star-inclination]
Star inclination referring to the orbital inclination of the class Y brown dwarf that is Synuefe xr-h d11-102 1.

The question is: coincience or deliberate? [total difference is 0.18°, but split amongst both latitude and longitude it can be halved to 0.09°]

If my hypothesis[that the difference between longitude and latitude is the sum of the tilts and inclination of the moon of the ruin-planet and its parent bodies] is correct, we would have a correlation between latitude and longitude.
For IC 2391 Sector ZE-A D101 C 3 this summation yields: −121.65° [I added the inclinations of both C and A, as the barycenter of BC and A orbit each other. the inclination of B was not added as B and C orbit each other, thus B is not a parent-object of C]

For IC 2391 Sector GW-V B2-4 B 1 this summation yields: 11.31 [Stars B,C and D were added, for reasons analogue to the above explanation]

For Synuefe XO-P C22-17 D 1 this summation yields: −112.23 [Only Star D was added]

For Synuefe ZL-J D10-119 11 B the summation yields: −51.62 [as 11 B has no moon, the moon's inclination and tilt were set to 0]

I will edit this post to add these calculations for other planets in those systems.

Random thought: It is hard to believe they would deploy all their ships to the same area/direction/cluster/proximity...

What ships? You mean the generation ships? We aren't looking for their generation ships though but for the other parts of the monolith system, which was their communication network.

I will edit this post to add these calculations for the other systems, and on request for other planets in those systems.
I would request SYNUEFE ZL-J D10-119, 11B. Been buzzing around it like a drunken house fly
 
Spent most of the week out at Synuefe ZL-J d10-119 11B.

Not a fat lot going on out here! The planet is quite small and it doesn't seem to take much time to travel from A to B. Visited various areas on the planet from mountain regions to canyons and other than the occupied escape pods i've found and left behind....not a sniff of anything interesting!

Pointed at a another mountain region now, after that will explore the large impact zones....after that i think i might move on.
