Maybe... Why divide by 2 and not subtract 90?

Maybe... Why divide by 2 and not subtract 90?
Surely if we know the ruins mark the orbit of the moon(s) then it drastically reduces the search area to part of the southern and part of the northern hemisphere?
Yes, if we could figure the orbital path of the moons over their parent bodies, we might be able to narrow down the search for further ruins in the remaining systems to a single path.
MIGHT.
I'm not even sure atm if all the systems have planets with moons...
Well this is good, since it lowers the planet search down even more. We can also exclude tidally locked planets with tidally locked moons if the ruins are consistent.

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!
I just woke up to see this, WELL DONE COMMANDER! At least we finally know that there are in fact more ruins out there, I'm still greatly disappointed that it took brute force searching with eyeballs to find it though.
Wait, is the layout exactly like the original ruins? That wouldn't make sense, it's on a different planet....??? :S
Yep, copy+paste.
No new lore, either. (unless something has changed in the 1 hour I've been gone)
What about the body position in the system, i.e. Xth planet on the Yth sun with moon etc .. those details.
Not necessarily. Its a giant server rack for aliens who like their symbology. Also, orientation is different, but moon alignments are similar. [alien]
Could be!
I bring this quote back up just to remind you, and everyone else, that my moon obsession started here, with cmdr edards question.
He started it [yesnod]
They both orbit cool stars Brown Dwarfs I think.
Layout makes sense. Identical wear & tear doesn't.

i wonder if the shape of the site is indicative of something .Dont they communicate with rune type languages ? which always relate to something. ie does it indicate their home system formation, 2 stars (the round pieces - 1 at each end of system , multiple planetery bodies (one for each pylon grouped as per picture) , the pylons outside the wall make me question this thoughtline though. Also we know we got extra scans from the first site that should have been only available at others so did we skip a step and thats why we are getting the same scan so makes me think the shape being the same in discovered sites is not laziness but design.
Indeed. They may look the same but are they oriented the same, or different, do they all point towards somewhere etc etc
Love this hypothesis.
Careful, though - the nay-saying un-contributing members in this thread might not be able to read your easily readable diagram. They may also ask for proof for an hypothesis.
Seconded. Congratulations to the CMDR who spotted the new site.
However, it must be quite a bittersweet discovery, being the bringer of perceived bad tidings and all.
For me, I'm back in the bubble unlocking engineers until Fdev give some idea as to what is actually going on with these ruin sites.
Agreed. Unless there's a specific reason why one wall is partially gone in a spot and the metal structure that would be standing along that wall is pushed aside and on it's side, "copy and paste" is my assumption as well. There's no valid reason why, if you're setting up a site like this, that you'd deliberately put one of your devices on the ground on it's side.
Then, again, maybe that's supposed to be like that (pointing to something off to the side), but I tend to doubt it. If they wanted to make it look like normal wear and tear, they'd have knocked over one of the other side objects on a different part of the wall.
I've looked around on the information super-high-way with not much luck.
If one were to see the moon setting and rising like we do in the ruins where else could one be on that planet? One need only search along this path of points to find another ruin (if it exists) in a different system.
I cant find a program to help me find this search path.
