Last crewmember got the ship up and off - colonists wouldve been in hibernation I think - so it may be nearby - COL 285 Sector MO-F B12-8 is nearest at 8.75ly - going to survey everything out to about 15 lyr see what I find.

Their target should be an earth like in the same system. He says he's looking at the blue ball every day.
Could be talking of a blue star as well, of course.

And this system must have an earth like ..
LOl if it does turn out to be a note based puzzle im gonna FLIP! (mostly in a good way) i suggested this days ago and so have others...would be nice to be right!! Just glad we are starting to get some traction.
I made it back to the ruins today after unsuccessfully searching for further structures on the exact opposite side of the planet. The ruins are now in their 3.45 day (earthday) night time...I was hoping to take more aerial pics but the darkness didn't allow it.
I met Cmdrs Waldovenison Smear and Mengy there and me and Waldo hooned around in our SRVs for a time, while Mengy hovered above us and had his breakfast
A couple of points I have been thinking about:
1) The large circular "landing pad".
Cmdr Waldo mentioned it to me and I agree that the metal structures at 120 degrees to each other on the "landing pad" certainly look like docking clamps:
Some aspect of a large ship slots down into each of the three clamps from the top, pushing open the two rounded structures in the middle, which move out of the way until the ship part makes it to the gap, whereby they spring back together locking the ship in place.
There are many scrape marks in a general "up-down" direction as evidences in a close-up of the above pic:
2) The pyramid to the south east of the large "landing pad":
I believe this pyramid is somehow involved in the control of the large landing pad. As seen in the pic below there are many "circuit" lines leading from the top of the pyramid to the landing pad and its surrounding circular walls.
Interestingly, a lot of these lines, if extrapolated from their end points (the end of the red lines) run tangentially to the circular parts of the landing pad, either the outer ring, middle ring or landing pad itself (yellow lines). There are some of the lines that do not run tangentially (green lines) but nevertheless seem to run into the pad itself or head towards the southern most "docking clamp". The blue lines don't seem to go anywhere but I felt I had to mark them in.
Could the large landing pad have been used as a landing site for a large, possibly circular ship, and all the other triangular, rectangular and similar structures made up of the obelisks (some with "docking clamps") have been landing pads for smaller different shaped vessels? The active obelisks may have had something to do with that purpose. There is an obelisk on the smaller circular "landing pad" which seems to have had a chunk cleaved from it from above...a landing mishap?
Very intriguing none the less...

WOAH, did we just find an actual base left by The Missing????
They went out in that direction from Sol then, very interesting...
On site - have to take a brief break but have some interesting shots already - always able to find a triangle or two -

System seems to be all rocky high metal worlds - there's an outpost on 7 as well - will have a good nosy round then try nearest systems - looking for an earthlike

Nice work.
On the one pick of the "clamps" do i see a hint of green? Like scraped off paint?....
There is definitely hints of green on the clamps

Initially they are talking about missing the target by a few light years... so another system after all.
Well to speculate, the only green ships that are possibly round in some way are the Alien ships...the ships could be "grown" etc but would they have to grow everything?
Just a musing while wishing i was out there instead of in work...
EDIT:
Any way to see if the central part of the ships match the size of the circle?

The "clamp" things are not only on the big circle, but all around the site in all kinds or directions.
RSM looking at the second and third picture of the view through the telescope it looks like a constellation ....
He talks about it being a "blue ball in the sky", so it must be a blue star close by then?
EDIT: perusing the gal map, COL 285 SECTOR HM-V D2-100 is a blue-white star and only a few light years away from the base...
OR
HIP 12656 is a close by blue supergiant!!!

My theory is that it is one large landing/refuelling bay and one ship sits upon the whole structure. The surface arrays with controls in the and the obelisks link into different systems on landing.
Well, if the telescope wasn't tracking then the view would have rotated by 360 * 1/19.7 degrees; since you see no rotation then it's tracking, presumably a view that has significance! I suggest the next step is to identify that star field & the nebula. You should be able to get an idea by comparing the telescope view against the galmap; I had a lot of difficulty doing this when trying to locate asterism stars in my previous searches for the Rift mystery but if you rotate the galmap around until it matches roughly you can then "move" into it to find the nebula & good candidates for the stars. By selecting a star in the galmap & then switching back to normal cockpit view you'll see if it's likely to be correct
