On a serious note :-

Biology : 3/29



Are there any good visual spectrum tools we can use to see if there is anything we cant see at the sites ?
or Should we not need to use out of game tools this time ?

That won't work. Monitors don't produce any colour we can't see.
 
How do you mean that? I interpreted the fading that induced climate change on their homeworld as the normal star life cycle progression, most likely from sun-like to red giant or from red giant to planetary nebula. Besides the life cycle state changes there is not much variability.

Here is a nice image summarzing the different life cycle paths (which life-cycle a star goes through depends on its mass):

Probably just some space jellyfish obstructing the light. :D

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE KIND WORDS!
Nothing Bad happened, on the contrary, it's a good thing, but it will take all my time for a bit.

NOW THE VOLUNTEERS PLEASE! ;)

Good luck with what ever it is :)
Thank you for an easily organised user-friendly front page!

(i'm not gonna lie, it is tempting to say I will try take over from you, but they're big shoes to fill, and there are people who have been in the canonn much longer that are probably more familiar with all the mysteries and more suited to do it.)

If I was to create a GalNet report for something like this it would go along the lines of "More pilots are discovering their ships FSD modules behaving erratically when dropping from orbital cruise. Several intrepid pilots have realised they can use this anonamily to help locate the sites of the 'Guardians'. These pilots are explorers, glory hunters, tomb raiders, or treasure seekers, call them what you will but they are all glad that a FSD can do for them that countless Corporations throughout the Galaxy, with all their technical knowledge and resources, can't. And that's a way to scan areas of planets at a time."


"Fortune and glory kid... Fortune and glory."
 
Where you in Open mode?

I had several false flags in this mode likely due to other CMDR being active on the planet I was dropping.


Hmm... My own private group, because what. I re-dropped and it's back to 5 secs (cache?) at those co-ords. But then I got 15+ again at around -30, 90 so... pass.

Mind you, these 15 second drops are new, been hammering planets for a week or two and they were never more than 5 seconds... gg FDev Netflix.

I tried dropping around the coordinates you indicated (and at LONG from -50° to 140° with interval of around 20°), but no abnormal loading time on my side.

I'll keep investigating the planet but at other Latitudes.

Well, if anyone wants a structured way to brute force search a planet using the OC drop method, you can use this: https://matthew149guy.wixsite.com/mysite

Plug in the planet radius and your OC drop search radius (I've assumed this conservatively at 200km), click "Generate" and a series of Lat/Lon points will be created - you can copy this to XL or google sheets and check off each point checked.
The search pattern starts at the north pole and spirals around the planet down to the south pole.

Hope someone finds it useful.
 
Does anyone have Universe Sandbox? (I don't)

What do we think of the idea of trying to model the systems and ruins planets with ruins locations in this.. perhaps it will make the connection between them "obvious"?

virtually +1 for that (cant give U anymore) - although due to SSD drive i cant use it - well done tool !

Splendid idea. Never tried modelling a system but I'll give it a try.

I don't know if you can get enough detail from Elite, nor whether you can set/specify that detail in US. For example, how do you sync the rotation of each planet, with what data do you calculate that?? Perhaps we could measure the in game time at which each site points at a fixed point, like Barnards loop?

I'm afraid including objects, like Barnard Loop, would need modelling the whole galaxy or adding the system in the existing Milky Way model.

None of those solution seem realistic unfortunately.

problem with ZL-J 14b & c is that we dont have the axial tilt of 14 (as beeing a Y-Type star in a binary with another planet), and from optics the orbit of 14b&c is tilted some 70-80° against the orbital plane of 14.....
add: which means that 14b/c orbit is nearly perpendicular to the systems-plane and hence every point on the surface qualifies for "once a year in alignment with systems plane"

- - - Updated - - -

I will come and try to verify.
if You do, please also crosscheck the area -30/73, i found got a higher dnsity of random POIs there, which i got near the ruins on d102 and XO-P as well....

Made an interesting discovery under the ruins at the Devaju2 new site (Synuefe XO-P c22-17 C 1).

I'm posting this as a spoiler because I discovered this using the debug camera and I'm not sure how legit it is (although camera is an in-game tool).

Apologies if seen and observed before!

Basically under each relic tower there is a clock which does not become active until after the tower is activated!
The clock has three tick marks and zooming in they look to have a deliberate structure so I don't think it's a glitch.

I think the other sites need checking for similar -which I will do when I next visit them...

Here is a close up of the clock "arm" whizzing past one of the ticks;

And a video so you can see it start up and then carry on turning;

No idea what it should mean but the count of ticks may be significant and the number three does keep coming up.
