I thought it was a one shot deal?
Easy money spinner if you are correct. in one hour (when i first started the puzzle last week) i unlocked 6 data packets.
6 million and one hour, not to shabby.

An update on this - made some changes and improvements and it went from hardly any initial candidates to way too many. Will try to narrow down. Initial thought of checking equilateral triangles tesselating around the ruins system came up a no. - the current candidate identification approach would quite likely prevent that situation from showing up though. Needs more work.
Am currently mobile only apart from a few hours a day so time is limited.
And now we are scr3wed.

I think its more like solo is currently the only mode to solve it correctly, we are just too stupid
THIS! Just this!
IIRC there is supposed to be a reset timer and it not working is being looked into.
Well that's quite the eye opener. Time to rethink this again.
Ok, so Michael has confirmed what I previously suspected: Solo is not bugged, we just don't know how to apply the only regular data we get (the data patterns) to activate more obelisks. They are being activated in PG/open by the number of people doing different things, and we need to figure out what the pattern is.
Hahaha, we are so scr3wed!
Planetoids are huge, even if many commanders searched on the two moons something could have been missed. According to MB there are other locations. So this site must have the clues to find the others or at least another one.
It could be in the same system or on another. As I'm not good at maths or geometry I let the scientists doing their job, but I suggest two search group. One working on the map as it was a star map, and the other working on as it was a local map.
Gonna start searching on this system first.

So, we were using the OPEN/PG exploit after all? Hahahaha

Is there a time of day where the moon aligns right in the middle of the sky, like the comm station (ruins) could point to the other hypotetical comm station on the moon?

Yes you'd have thought so but where?
Right. Thank you. So it is. In Post #4, Section №1, Sub-Section №1 'BREAKING NEWS', Sub-Sub-Section №3 'FIRST CONTACT WITH AN ALIEN SHIP!', Hidden Spoiler №3 'Details:', paragraph №11 'Unknown Ships's modules:'. How could I possibly have missed that? Perhaps because it had only been recently added since the last time I trawled this thread? How ignorant of me.
As far as I know there are TWO obelisks that are lit in solo mode at first yet we have no combination for them. This site is an information node. It would be a bit daft of the Guardians to not include the locations of one or TWO of the other sites. Time to get the thinking caps on people.
Also if the blue relics are location placefinders for other stars then we would also need a visional representation of which planets and where on the planets. I dont think the site map is detailed enough. Besides, if more advanced races made everything this cryptic it would be a royal nightmare just reading the morning paper in their society.

Lots of people seem to think the answer is on another planet, but we haven't even worked out the one we have yet! Michael has confirmed that Solo isn't bugged, and Open is showing more than it should. It's logical to conclude that obelisks in open are being activated by a process that we don't understand, due to the number of active commanders doing random things. What we need to apply ourselves to is how we are getting more active obelisks.
Scan an active obelisk and we get two things:
One: From Ran either an "intrusion" message, nothing, or decoded data. This depends on the contents of our cargo.
Two: Alpha-Epsilon data patterns.
The obelisk then goes inactive. Even in open, it's not scannable again by the same commander, which is a big pointer that Solo is not bugged.
Since MB has confirmed this is correct behaviour, and FD requiring a relog to progress is VERY unlikely, it seems likely that we need to progress using the only scan results we reliably get: The Alpha-Epsilon data patterns. I think we need to use these to somehow activate additional obelisks to scan.
Once we know the mechanism for activating obelisks, we can progress.

It's a good idea, the only problem is that you won't get individual points on the sphere, you'll get a continuous circle of possible points. That's not really actually a problem though as rather than a point to fly to, you'll get a line to fly along, which would still be worth trying. Might also be worth applying the same principle using a hexagon too. Probably little point in trying other shapes unless anyone's spotted them being used at the ruins anywhere.

Big Rep!
A slab of unidentified material covered in pictographs of an unknown origin. This relic is part of a cache of similar artefacts that were uncovered by explorers researching lost alien civilizations in the Soontil system. Sold by Garry's Reclamations, Cheranovsky City, Ngurii.
I like this idea.
Ha ha. This was unexpected.
