Ok, understandably (with the posting rush here) my last post went uncommented on, so, just a quick heads up, may be a long-shot but there is currently news https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/588b1e769657ba121799dc8e about the col sector which is of interest because the audiograph in the UP points to a locked system thereCol 70 Sector FY-N c21-3 .
Now there's been a murder including a 'disfigured body' and 'radiation burns', plus what's seemingly a lockdown by company ships somewhere in an unspecified COL 70 system.
Again just thinking out loud here, we still don't know who the human player was in the palin obduction/UA case and since the whole thing seems quite unrelated to anything, maaaaybe FD is actually throwing us a bone? Or it might still be unrelated but worth looking at. At least it gives me/us an excuse to take a break from looking at dirt ;) Did check the GalMap for populated systems in the COL70, couldn't find any yet.

Happy mad hunting CMDRs (whatever you may be up to :)

Yes, I've commented on this Col79/UP data reporting/Wreaken linkage, thiugh not sure if its come up yet-I still trying to catch up, only 20 pages behind!
Looks like either Wreaken are aliens, or UP are man-made (by Sirius Corp, presumably searching for signs of Thargoids), or Wreaken have found an area that used to be inhabited by aliens and are trying to mine the alien technology. Whatever, Sirius seem to be clearly implicated.

Panzer[something] became allied with them... nothing happened. I'm on the way but iron man is getting in the way :) maybe t the ua is an arc generator :p
 
Ok, quick start, I don't have much time. Lol

Beacon base glyphs.

Try looking at it in binary.

∆=1
[]=0
---[∆]---= Big triangle/1
---[]--- = big nothing/0

∆∆[]∆ | ∆[]∆∆ | [][][][]
---[∆]---| ---[∆]--- | --[]---
∆∆[]∆ | ∆[]∆∆ | [][][][]

Annnnd I've forgotten how to read binary. Lol

Feel free to finish it. That's just one side of one beacon.

The issue I have is that over such a long period there isn't any apparent repetition of the individual blocks. Hence, if it's a message, then there's a ridiculous amount of time needed to find the start and end of said message. That's just one hours worth!

Indeed the problem with none of the bits of these strings repeating is a weird one. I am going to work on this today as well and see if I can come up with anything. I will also try comparing my strings to a recording that was made by another commander before 2.2.03, however I will have to be careful with making any conclusions based on that data for it may very well be outdated.

One theory I have about why the strings never repeate is because they are not supposed to. What I mean is that for example if they encode somekind of distance data or coordinates, then as the planets move, those numbers constantly change. The problem with that theory however, is that it seems like a too complicated way to go at it... I'm not sure Frontier would give us a puzzle that is *that* much tied to time.
Another theory I have is that these may be encoded glyphs of some sort? Though since we haven't cracked the logic behind the glyphs we have right now, we wouldn't be able to really get any new information from that...
 
There IS an issue where ruins or other surface features can take a long time or even require a re-log before they load. I am not sure if it is a bug or latency related, but it sure as hell would be difficult to find anything that had no embankments or mounds. I have personally seen obelisks and ground tiles take up to a minute before ghoulishly materializing in front of me.

If you DO find something that looks unmistakably like a ruins foundation but with no accompanying obelisks or features, then I would suggest a re-log before dismissing it.

good advice, and after some extensive talking to various explorers and some of the formidine guys, it seems that a lot of "interesting" content is being found close to or within splash creaters close to equatorial regions. Not sure how relevant this is here, but are any of the searchers out there making a point of checking spalsh(ejecta) style creaters within say 5-10% of the equatorial regions ?
 
I don't know if some one has posted already a similar idea (I read often the thread, but it has grown very quicly recently, therefore I might be not so updated), however I've passed by the ruins today and I'm posting some ideas I had:

1) The pillars have the sides that face, each side for each pillar, respectively, the same exact heading which are the following (please note: the description is below each image):

http://imgur.com/a/6AUSe

2) Another aspect regards those symbols on each pillar's base and their meaning. I think that it is an algorythm that can be used to find every ruin site in each system. We said that the guardians were pretty interested and involved in geometry. Considering their non invasive tech, I assume that the planet should have a temperature of around 300 k. With this assumption, the oonly thing one can conclude is that not all the planets present in the systems listed by Ram Tah are candidates. I also recall that Ram Tah asked for data contained in the obelisks. This has led me to think about the pillar algorythm. I have also noticed (and I'm telling here for completeness sake) that the pillars have the following coordinates (In this, I am referring to the map in front page):

B4 : -31.7843 ; -128.9718
B1 : -31.7859 ; -128.9188
B2 : -31.8053 ; -128.9103
B3 : -31.8038 ; -128.9263

The coordinates progression might mean something, but now I have finished the ideas. Another aspect that comes to my mind regards the pillars' disposition and the disposition of the systems mentioned. Do they align at least once a day?

En fin, The disposition of each face of pillars' base must have a meaning, if considered as the whole base.

EDIT: Frontier, if only the Terrain scanner, the one that appears when you approach the ground at less than 100m, if I remember well, could be activated up to, just to say, 2 km...

you convert that to hex and its DB0
If we are talking about communications, decibels, or dB is used alot. It can refer to gain, noise, and all sorts of things. So if its saying dB 0 it could mean something. Not entirely sure though, and we need to get the middle set deciphered.
 
the wreaken constructions galnet article yesterday about a body being found with radiation burns in the col 70 sector, i looked into it, the wreaken constructions is an actual minor faction based out of the ega system, i think its time i get allied and keep an eye on them just in case they become key to a future permit to the col 70 sector at some point down the track, i may also check the ega system planets for points of interest
 
I'm mostly AFK today, but if you pull up the image of all 3 faces, one of them is facing the other way, with just 1 centre glyph.
(Forgot the pattern)

This could indicate the one to read first.
And/or it could also indicate to read it backwards.

I'll catch you all later if I can.

Keep up the good work!
 
For those new to the thread here is a summary progress video that basically sums everything up that we know for a fact so far.

So yeah. Here are the salient points.

1. Space Big.
2. Thread Big.
3. Brookes Evil.
4. Eyeballing planets boring but also somehow strangely relaxing.
5. One guy thinks he has cracked it but refuses to publish any evidence.
6. Imgur useful.
 
Guys - if you hover above the ruins between 8 and 10km, does anyone else see a bright blue pixel where one of the towers is located? Disappears at an altitude of more than 10km.

Also, is it me, or does the main circular feature of the ruins look similar to Barnard's Loop? Has anyone tried to look at Barnards Loop from any of the listed systems to see if the other systems line up in a pattern like the ancient artefacts/towers?

Only thoughts...

Cheers

Steve
 
I appreciate it. I am indeed trying to see if these things line up over the ruins. But without having access to the ruins.

I would like to add my own congratulations to this effort commander.

So any flaws or suggestions keep them coming. I figured there were people with much stronger math skills than I.

I am intrigued by your suggestions and hope to try and work with them later today.
