Absolutely!
while I didn't checked my bookmarks specifically the moment after 13 scans, I can confirm that I got no new bookmarks, because I keep all my bookmarks organized and always rename them in specific way, so a new default entry would be noticed immediately. Though I did my scans before CG, so it might be good if somebody else checks and confirms. But to be honest, I hardly doubt that sneaking in bookmark would be the case, it just doesn't make sense and feels stupid. FD might as well send a commercial to my spambox with a clue in it then....

I think the obelisk patterns are RNG. I the beta, there was a third layout.
I tried but it hasn't happened yet. But I have been in and around Maia with everything in my hold and flying around the Pleides Sector and nothing so far.
I scanned all 13 and checked my bookmarks - which is easy to do because I don't use bookmarks - and nothing. But I haven't turned in the CG to Meene yet (running around looking for aliens right now with stuff in my cargo hold).
By the way, I wrote a bigger post about trying to decipher the patterns last night - basically that I mapped them out as a Gray Code (binary reflected code) into a base-18, and also as a base-9, numbering system trying to determine if the three rows and two columns of the obelisk pattern were vectors in 3D space that could be plotted to form an image. I have several pages of notebook notes trying to do this and nothing seemed to work. But the post appeared to have been caught by the moderation system because it's not in my activity and doesn't appear here. But I wanted to say that I tried this to see if anyone had tried anything similar and we could compare what we did.

I'm not aware of anything beyond Engineers being able to place bookmarks yet.

Okay wait, other people are finding bookmarks that they don’t remember placing too????
Over a month ago, after spending a lot of time at the ruins doing research for my map theory, I at one point noticed that I had a bookmark out under the Heart & Soul Nebula on a system which I’d never been too. I was honestly so intrigued that I actually flew out there to investigate, but it was a dud of a system that didn’t even have any landables in it. In the end I figured I’d placed it by accident, a misclick or something, while I was laying out where the R-R line goes through (this was right after I’d realized that a ground line at the old ruins precisely mapped out the R-R line).
How many others are noticing randomly placed bookmarks too? Is this an actual thing related to the ruins?
Wait, seriously?? I noticed i had 2 bookmarks out there, one directly between H&S nebulas and one further out... I'm 90% sure i didn't place those myself, while interested in their mystery have never been out that way.... I'm at work now so can't get on to see what exact systems they are but would be intrigued to compare... [???]
Well, since we're currently discussing whether Ram Tah has set random bookmarks after the CG this is a deliciously ambiguous response
Unless you're referring to their ability to add their own location to your bookmarks I guess.

Don't get too excited, I think that's referring to when an engineer first sends out an invite but you have not unlocked them fully (deliveing x number of goods etc), you may get a bookmark.
Thank you CMDR.
I think I tried to decipher your meaning about this a few pages back and lost myself. This is much clearer. This means that this specific planet is a perfect place to draw a map of a certain astrological layout - every sunset or sunrise (of the ringed Y-dwarf) are identical.
This would imply that we should ignore the local bodies as their motion is probably quite complex compared to this 6.9 day cycle - unless they also fit neatly into the sunrise/sunset cycle of 1B? How can we find out or calculate this complex motion?
Someone reconstructed the system (or part of it) in an application recently (the interface looked very similar to Stellarium if I recall from the screenshot) - does someone know which post it was in or who did it?

YET being the keyword!!!!
Thanks Michael, then my original theory is correct, I must have created the bookmark accidentally while panning around the galaxy map. I’ll bet a lot of us are doing that without even knowing it.
EDIT: oh wait, BEYOND engineers????
So Ram Tah could be doing shenanigans to our maps???

While I agree that it could be easy to accidentally bookmark on pc, i play on xbox where it is virtually impossible to bookmark by accident.
Not having a dig at ya, just wanted to put it out there
Do you mean that the Engineers get bookmarked automatically to your map, or that engineers can place bookmarks on your galaxy map? Like Ram Tah placing a bookmark on your map... for...reasons...
