Can someone tell me how we actually happened upon this mission? Was it just by chance? It seems a bit awkward to just give this mission to anyone docking at Felice...

Has anyone travelled to Ram Tah's base to see if he wants to do anything with the data scans?

I was at Ram Tah's to hand in the data stuff he wants to have more free data space... and there was nothing suspicious there.
 
Don't know if this was already done.
Someone suggested to look for additional ruins on the same planet at coordinates which form a triangle with the ruin location. The problem is, that there are infinite number of solutions for that. However one could have a look at the locations at the same latitude, i.e (-31.7877,-8.9711) and (-31.7877,111.0289).
Nothing at -31.7877, -8.9711 :(

I think that: 1) there are more alien ancient ruins. Maybe this is a starting point to determine where are the others. 2) the higher base of the alien site is positioned as an observatory. From there you can see: - the moon B1; - Synuefe Xr-h d11 1; - the Orion Nebula. These places must have some meaning. Probably we have to wait that these points in the sky will line up in a certain way if we want to activate all the obelisks. I think even the star of this system has some importance, but I saw the site only at night and do not know where will rise Synuefe XR-H D11-102 nor where it sets. 3) i think also that In addition to being an observatory, the site is a map. The relics (or the triangles formed by the obelisks) could be the locations of the other sites/planets/systems. I was back on Meene and also the planet of Ram Tah has its own moon, like B1 un Synuefe. But if there had been ancient ruins i think that they would be discovered (maybe). I checked the ground around the site to see if there might be a relic buried, focusing especially on the land between the alien site and Synuefe XR-H D11 1. I found nothing. I think the whole thing is designed to be activated on a certain day, within three weeks of the search term. I hope I was clear. Unfortunately I have some obvious difficulties with the English language.
 
Hey guys,

Not sure if this is relevant anymore, but I just got hyperdicted WAY outside the known hyperdiction bubble (as far as I know) I didn't get any video or screenshots unfortunately (I know I'm a bad scientist - didn't have any software running), but there was nothing abnormal about this encounter (same scripted even as everyone else. Here's the details:

System: Synuefai RS-O A74-0
Jumping to: Wredguia TV-M B34-0 (On the way to Sothis - 3 jumps away)
Cargo: Empty
Ship: 51ly Anaconda (Engineered FSD & Thrusters)
Occured: Jan 16th, 2017 - Approx 20:30 game time

I was under the impression these events occurred in a 150ly bubble around MAIA (currently 211.3ly from MAIA)
Anyways, just add this post to the hyperdiction post pile and carry on! :)

There had been at least one other report that I know of outside the 150 shell...that one was slightly conflicted in distance though...one indication was 215ly and an alternate distance of ~289.

You are a very reputable source, so it does appear that things are for sure expanding.

Why thank you :) happy to help

EDIT:

Wonder if the hyperdiction bubble is larger than we think... closer to 250ly maybe? most people tended to go alien hunting in the systems in and around MAIA and the Pleiades Nebula when news first broke (and consequently when the bulk of the reports came in)

Perhaps the notion of a 150ly bubble is just an assumption by us humans, and the intended bubble was always larger, just wasn't enough players testing further out at the time?

Random thought.. has anyone checked out the Antipodal Coordinates of the ruins?

Should be 31.78, 51.03 ?

It's probably nothing, but I can't check at the moment.

*edit* Co-ords typo
*edit 2* jeez.. lets try this again..

******WARNING ABOUT FORMIDINE RIFT******

Addressing all commanders in this area of space. Now that I have examined the area in detail, I must present you with my findings. We are missing Planets. And, we are missing lots of them. Anything apart from cold ice systems like Y type and the like - that are in any way unremarkable seem to be untouched.

However, anything that has importance... I would say Rocky worlds, metallics, Life worlds... We are down 70% or maybe even more. IT's just dead. Stars that should have interesting systems don't. It gets worse towards the bottom of the 200LY bubble around the Formidine base. There is practically nothing there. M stars, G stars... Totally empty.

Be careful out there.


Gyp out.

There was a galnet article mispublished last year talking about going to Ram Tah to get the mission... mispublished because the mission wasn't available til this patch.

When the patch got released, the galnet article wasn't republished, but the information was still valid.
 
Yes I think there is a definite difference between "obelisks" and "monoliths", Ram Tah talks about a monolith communication network but calls the triangular structures at the ruins obelisks.

Well, also by definition the obelisks can't be monoliths because there's more than one of them at the location.
 
Wow thanks to those that have posted up the information from the recordings so far.

Just my point of view reading the texts:

It appears 3 and 5 are significant numbers to the Guardians and that the site may hold a key or code of some sort to link to the other sites. "It seems that the guardians had a particular fascination with geometric shapes, which they used to illustrate connections between themselves and the world around them. This predilection manifested itself in their technology as well - specifically their monolith network. With this data and the help of the galactic community we've partially mapped the monolith network, which formed the backbone of their communications technology, and discovered that they too are arranged in geometric patterns. Whilst this does not give us full access to the network, I believe it is the first step to unlocking the entire system and maybe more"

There was 3 seed ships, so should be 3 sites minimum to find "Having not yet developed faster-than-light technology, the Guardians constructed three large arks for their first interstellar colonies."

There maybe glyphs giving the location of other sites. " the glyph for 'moon' incorporates the waxing and waning as it would have appeared from the Guradians' homeworld."

The Guardians (or the organic parts) maybe extinct due to the the AI's starting a second Civil War. "when it came to large-scale destructive weaponry they relied on bespoke biological weapons. Predictably, these were of little use against the AIs." & "Whole cities were protected by huge shields able to resist even bombardment from space, at least for a time, although these defenses were ultimately overwhelmed during the second civil war."

Religion has a lot to answer for. "but soon the resistance to the technological revolution took on a religious overtone."

I have only seen 29 of the 36 (?) combinations the site is reporting to give. It also appears all of the texts are between Parts 7 and 16 meaning this is Site 2.

Please correct me if I have any missing information.

Ruins Puzzle Broken Confirmation

Since the whole scanning puzzle may be broken, which is confirmed by this thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...of-the-15-Obelisks-after-scanning-(Solo-Mode)
[Snip]

Ok thanks for that, I didn't know the puzzle being broken in solo had been confirmed. Guess I'll play a different game while I wait for it to be fixed as I don't feel like flying away and trying to find the ruins again. There's no way I'm going into open with an unarmed exploration ship, mind you I hear the puzzle in open is also broken even though you can progress further.
 
I just noticed something even more odd about that planet.

The star seems to come up over site A (where the moon sets) and iirc sets at site B. All seen from the center point of the compound of course.

And maybe that's just coincidence, but site A resembles a triangle pointing to the horizon and site B, too!

Also:
- glyphs are pictoral. They aren't mathematical/language exactly.
- glyphs originate with sign-language used from hunting.
- movement is used to add meaning.
- glyphs can be "layered".

The only thing we've found containing movement are the glowing panels, so logically these are the glyphs...

There's also the markings on the base of the beacons, which seem like they should be related (again, no meaning has been discovered). But those are simpler (possibly the 'sign language' bit, or maybe something that should be obvious relating to the ruins).

I fly with Beasts of Bestia and we strongly believe there are enough clues to locate the other sites. In fact, we have one hot hypothesis and if it shows correct, we might have at least one other site by the end of the week. We will share if we succeed.
Also, I wondered how far the scanning progress has gotten. We have discovered certain pattern thanks to which we all have around 26 positive scans already and expect to have all 36 each person by tomorrow. Is anyone actually this far?

you are going to share it when already the visited and put your first stone... If you get success. Luck, and be clear

vais a compartirlo cuando ya lo visitado y puesto vuestra primera piedra.... si obtenéis éxito. Suerte, y ser claros
 
Ok, i know a lot of people are probably frustrated with this mission/puzzle by now, but i'm curious. I've spent the better part in a private group with my GF, we both currently have 14M Credits awarded, though there is some deviation in our scan results, however for the last 12-14hours of play here, we havn't been able to get any 'New' Obelisk patterns to activate, its the same ones that always activate over and over again, does anyone have any known theories on how to get new, or different obelisks to activate?
 
New Galnet Here. Mentions shipwrecks. Have we checked these out thoroughly? We're still missing the bread crumbs that led to the ruins, some scan data hints from these and the crashes might point to our ruin and the others.

Well it narrows down the possibilities for their homeworld to one with a moon, so that's a start at least!

Edit - anyone got any bright ideas for what such a glyph would look like?

My take on the glyph if it was an Earth-esque set up would be ( (| O |) )
