we need a video but basically all hte graphics or hidden content that loads increases the loading screen coming out of sc (youll notice it coming up to ground bases etc generally)
yep this one I knowWell there is a lot of detail in this post if you want to read.
Congrats to Zorbaq! I'm exploring the surrounding 150Ly looking for Melville, not seeing that many multi-star systems, which is a good thing. Hoping that once I'm done I can see where the candidate systems get more numerous (and of course hoping to find Melville and the Pequod)
Was asking about the spacing to recalc into Kilometers circumreference, so that for bodies with different radius the optimized spacing(dependend on lattitude) may be calculated...

When you drop out of orbital cruise to glide mode, it takes a predictable amount of time to load the surface.
If there are additional assets to load, such as the ruins - it takes longer.
Haven't tried it myself and don't like that it's the only tool we have but it seems to be working.
Zorbaq congrats ! Very well done! I am happy to see we are not the only ones gliding down to planets pretending to be whales or dolhins every 10 degrees or so

it would seem with the lack of scanning tools that we have to use Fdevs own weaknesses against them to find and improve the recovery rate of brute force searching, the alternative is they can give us a more diverse range of scanning and probing tools and basically add exploration depth to the game. (the same systems can probably be used to find volcanoes and the like to)

i expect as more commanders become adapted to the system we will be finding rapid progress in finding as many ruin/relic/crash and other hidden volcanic sites etc with much higher frequency
I'll be compiling all available data on all bodies in all systems (not just those with found ruins), not leaving anything out or discounting anything. I am a database developer by trade
Interesting that FD has been pointing us at new systems if there are always duplicate ruins on the planets - guess they saw we stopped searching, and it was too difficult to get Ram to say 'search the planet'? Or maybe it's important to the story that we find a lot of systems.
Well done!!!

there is a push and pull factor at work, i think the numbers searching had dropped off and they had noticed the metrics changing, i mean ram might not be the only aspect to this, they used another npc player and some creative writing to make additional alterations. But with the new SC search mechanics the flood of new site discoveries is just starting
Goddamn, I was halfway through a picture of what can be got at the Col 173 Beta site (up to five extra decodes now) and my cat, who likes to sit on top of the computer, hit the reset button I think I remember what was what though.
Just got the obelisk in the center to go (Casket + something) and then I'll post the result for that too.

Exactly. It's frustrating to find you've been arguing about some theory or spending hours searching when someone else already knew the answer. But ultimately no one is compelled to share their findings here. If people feel that they need a few days to get a comprehensive report together, or if they just want to take advantage of their discovery, that's fine. IMHO it only becomes a problem if people announce they have found something but refuse to share details. If you're not ready to share details then don't say anything at all, which is exactly how madwax, mGtRd & Noodlz handled their find.

i think it was a balanced way forward, their hands probably were forced when Fdev shifted the grounds a bit, but i agree investigating and verifying is one thing which is fine, but not sharing and saying as such maybe less so fair but they didnt go that path, and as soon as they annouced full details were disclosed. And there arre a lot of non cannon contributors here including myself so some may not be as open timely disclosure and that is quite ok. there are many groups in elite
I would suggest another letter for your proposed G cluster.
Having two different G clusters in the Beta.1 and Beta.2 would lead to confusion.
The rest is great.
I'm beginning to wonder if there's a ruin in Sol
The latest Galnet precludes that possibility.

Can someone please put together a lettering scheme that is consistent across the two beta site layouts?
Until it turns out stonehedge is super secret ruins site!
Summary about the scans at site beta(hex).2 (col sector ...) :
- 13 active obelisks
- 5 unique data that cannot be collected (in solo mode) at beta(hex).1 (synuefe XR-H and sisters)

I spent some time playing with the wave scanner last night. If you sit still, the scan can gradually start gaining some more high frequency sounds for empty parts of the sweep (nothing on the visual indicator). Is it possible that the longer you sit still, the greater the sensitivity of the scanner?
I've been holding to the belief that FD wouldn't just expect us to laboriously explore surfaces and that there must be something in-game (either mechanically such as the wave scanner or logically puzzling it out) to help locate sites on a given planet, but the recent Galnet post where the exploration mission report says they've been simply flying and looking does dishearten me a little.
I have to say though, the Galnet article does read more like a report of what we've been doing (mad science theories on locations whilst slowly eyeballing) with some added flavour and details of new systems.
