Wow you have a GF that plays Elite - that's a keeper!
Kaltern's sheet has always been and still is on the FP. However I'll had this one as well: the issue is that different spreadsheets hold different informations, so you still need to take a look at all of them to have the whole picture...
Good point and the second area on the other side of the site could be a destination system? What if each of the Relic towers were destinations on a map?
I think you are right, we got all the packages from that site.
IMO we need to focus on finding the other sites, and this time we need to do it without having the sky background from a video.
I'm quite sure FD has put a way of locating those, beyond dumb luck. What way is a good question though, since we did not have to
use it for the first ruins, we're kind of in the dark.
0.02$ questions :
1) Have all the beacons mysteries been solved. (If some have not, we might have somethign there)
2) Is there anything unusual about the planet/scan/system (did not see anything special, but more eyes = better)
is anybody good enough to cross reference this vid to find out which star the pole star is, it would be logical to suppose that this could be a place for one of the outposts/ark landing spots, a good candidate i would say.
wheres Xdeath when you need him.
Yeah, bad wording on my part
I knew about permit systems, but I thought they were limited to Achenar, Sol, Summerland, etc...What do you need to get into those systems and who claimed them? it does not make sense to me that those deep space systems without any colonization have permits required for them...

AFAIK you cannot get permits (they are 'unknown permits' - as stated above they are for future plot developments. I think there is at least one CMDR who has been marooned on the 'other side' of those permit blocked systems (at some stage the permits were not required?) - and they are trying to get back to Sol by going around, so things could be worse
I think all the known beacons mysteries have been solved, but more may have been added in 2.2.03.
Another option is the tourist missions. One commander found ancient objects in a blue POI, during one of those.
What we know from the messages we have, is that the monolith network is arranged in a geometrical pattern. This probably means that the distances between the different ruin systems are equal.
That does not help us much, as we only have one point. We may however also have the plane.
As it's called 'the monolith network', we can assume that the monoliths(relic towers) are the active component in the communication.
The towers points straight up. As the planet rotates(in 6.9 days), the towers will draw a circle on the local sky box. Every 6.9 days, they will point at the same star.
This circle forms a plane, where we will probably find more ruin sites.
If we find a second site we can probably calculate where the rest are, by applying geometrical shapes(triangle or hexagon are most likely).
Until we find a second site, this does not help much. If we are lucky, we will find a suspicious system(like Soontil, Achenar, Polaris, Merope or Sol) in this plane. If not, we don't have much.[???]
Yeah, I though of the sites being in a geometric pattern, say a triangle since it would mean 3sites => all data.
However there are some problems with using this :
1) we do not know the plane which contains the triangle
2) we do not know the length between the three points.
3) Brute forcing the problem is very hard (would need a data set of all the systems in the area, with their coordinates, and search for equilateral triangles starting with the known system)*.
*It might be possible to do using the logfile / eddiscovery (will have a look see, because checking all the systems in a 150 lyr radius seems at least doable).

"spreading"?
What part of "I" didn't you understand?
As many CMDRs confirmed, and after pages and pages of this thread, Ram Tah and the "current time" call them obelisks. But the data pieces talk about something called "monoliths" wich everybody is assuming are the current "obelisks". I see two possibilities here:
1. The obelisks are the monoliths and FD doesn't know that MONOliths must have a SINGLE piece (and our obelisks probably have 6 triangular pieces).
2. Obelisks and Monoliths are two completely different things and we must find a site with actual monoliths using the current ancient ruins clues.

As I said, I think we have the plane. The towers need to point to all the other sites, once during a 'day'(6.9 of our days).
Brute forcing in never a good option in ED.
The first image has to be significant. The shadow overlaying it doesn't help, but it could be an image of a Guardian, a religious symbl, or some kind of impression of the ship that was launched from this facility - and I am quite convinced that that, at least in part, was the purpose of this structure.
The second image nicely shows that these are load-bearing structures, designed to bear a sizeable mass. The 'clamp' type structures around the ruins also imply a need to hold in place a very large construction - an Ark, possibly? The fact that FTL travel was discovered while the Arks were in flight, yet FTL comms were developed in time to reach these Arks while on their journey, suggests to me that this ruins site is where the Guardians put one of the Arks down to rebuild it as an FTL ship. The clues we're searching for relate to both where it came from, and where it was going (and, if we find the other sites, where the other two went).
Was hovering around in MOBIUS last night with 2x each item in the hold and was picking up data
BUT the cmdr on the ground said he obtained LANG 11 and I got LANG 13, yet to be confirmed by further investigation as it is the first time I've seen it
Also testing the theory of some kind of rotation in the SOLO relog scans on one single obelisk/monolith (B6) with ORB and Tablet, it seems random but I had more than 20 different combinations of scan data types and it didn't loop, I did get some repeats but they seemed to be at completely random intervals,
so no new info basically.

Monoliths are the triangle shaped stones we're scanning to gather data. The obelisks are the towers that contain the relics.

No? They are even named "Active Ancient Obelisk". Those are the ones we are scanning for Data, the triangle shapes ones, located in different groups around the Ruins.
The monoliths are the 4 pillars containing the relics.
