So I'm at the 2nd ruin, and I get the same 13 data sets you get at the 1st ruin in SP. Odd thing is that I get the messages from Ram Tah again (normaly you wouldn't get the message, stating what data you just got (btw its the exact same data piece too), if you took the mission a second time, which I did)

The towers at the second site are at strange angles, however i think this is probably due to bugs, as the relics are also stuck underground.

That's not the issue. 100% identical wear & tear of hundreds (thousands?) of years is. And secondary gripe is the identical obelisk/data layout, but there may be more layers to uncover (if not bug).
Really. Sites themselves may be the same. But how can be the same two destroyed abandoned sites?
I am at the second site in open and the towers are all at normal angles to me, I would agree, bug.
Made a new map simulating a FLIR system. Hope anybody founds it useful.

A standardized layout for the ruins isn't a game-breaker for me personally. The one thing I am pondering after this ruin site was found is, are we assuming there is only one site per system that Ram sent us toward? There are at least two more bodies in the second ruin system that fit into the "maybe" column based on the similarities between the two sites. Might be completely off-base with my thinking, but any thoughts?
maybe if you dived that coordinate in half you get one that could work. then it would be Synuefe ZL-J d10-119: (~61,25,~-117)

My approach to this is to take a step back. FD will hear we have found the ruins and will congratulate us. They will then either do nothing and let us progress on the right path, give us a clue if we are stuck, or face palm at their blunder.
Based on the fact we need 100 pieces of Data, we have 3 weeks to do it, and each ruin will likely hold around 13 pieces of data, it is extremely plausible for this to be a mistake.
I would take a step back (if getting frustrated like me), enjoy the fresh air, kill some pirates and wait to see what FD do. I recon if it's a bug they will act quickly because of the number of repeated blunders. They wont want to loose a portion of a very active player base.
Otherwise we risk ruining the ruins story by getting frustrated an arguing with each other.

Ok, CMDR iamgingerbear and I have just winged up and I tracked his wing beacon as he followed the moons orbital path.
Not much in the way of alignment - he was either way too high or too low from the horizon to check (there was a second pass where I follwed his scanner blip whilst keeping my fov on the horizon, still going over the video on that one).
But here is where the moon should set over ruins mk2:
Within the larger circle housing cluster A.
Two sites. Two moons that rise over the small cicle and set over the large circle.
Coincidence? You decide!

Right, me job's doneI'm having a pesky migraine, so excuse me if I'm not available for questioning. Also it's my birthday today, so kind of a neat present for me, no?
Have fun!
That is fantastic. Congrats. So looking at what I sent before about candidate planets I noted this one not because of its weird orbital period and rotation but because it had a moon.
Anything else similar about this and the first that anybody noticed?
Yeah, we know you are unhappy. Could you just move on please? There are actually people having fun with this game. Unbelievable, really.
So it's a matter of identifying the moons path (been trying to find a more mathematical/precise way to do that) and accounting for a certain offset to allow for the proper angle. In other words 2 parallel lines to check on a candidate system. Offset by a certain amount of KM of the path of the moons orbit on both sides of it. If it rises and sets in the same direction than we only need to check one path

May even point to a clue about their home world location.
something i just noticed. (if its been said before my appologies but this thread is impossible to follow)
the compositions of both bodies with known ruins is more or less divisible by 3.
1st ruin site is 90.5% rock 9.5 metal
2nd ruin is 66.4 rock 33.6 metal (it was this ratio that sparked my interest)
probably nothing as the margin of error is definitely there, but just thought id throw it in here anyway.
perhaps other bodies in the named systems have similar ratios?

There's obviously a moon connection here
