I updated the video description with the following.

Update: the "rattle" sound seems to occur when you're in Orbital Cruise and in the blue orbit zone.

If somebody wants to confirm that in the bubble that would be great.

The ruin atmospheric sound still seems to get louder, quieter the further you get from a ruin and may be a way to find them by adjusting course once to hear it. So dropping into certain coordinates on a surface to check for the sound and then adjusting should help speed things up if it works that way.

what sound? I have listened to all the videos provided and all I can hear is the background ambiance. There are times when you hear voices singing and times you dont. The volume of the voice section raises and lowers at a measurable interval. Direction doesnt effect it. It plays in a loop.

If there is another sound I just cant hear it in the videos. I know we have some audio geniuses here is anyone able to isolate that sound so I can tell. Its either that or every planet I have been on at this system has ruins on them.

Pretty sure that's not true. At least in my system maps I rarely see any planet rotating. I think the last time I have seen 2 planets rotate was over a week ago. Are all planets and moons which aren't tidally locked rotating on the system map for you?

They probably just weren't rotating fast enough for you to notice. I'm pretty sure in the system map is supposed to be variable dependent upon the planet/moon's rate of rotation.

Update!! The commander and crew of the Anaconda Witchspace Cruiser have found a moon that looks exactly like Felicity Kendall's bottom.



We flew round that one a few times I can tell you....

Before I start my orbital search, can someone confirm that the ruins will show up as a POI? What is the optimum altitude for finding these blue circles? Thanks!

Sorry - shouldn't laugh - we're going a little insane. No POI, see first page of thread for latest we have, there are some coordinated searches & spreadsheets. You need to use Mk I eyeball to find, get within 7km and win a prize :)

I have a feeling something big is going to happen after the sites have all been decoded.... hyperdictions are getting closer ......
"Kryten change to red alert"
"But sir, that does mean changing the light bulb"
"Red alert, man I'm already on brown alert"

........ I think it's close to brown trousers time......

Wouldnt it be nice if we had some mini-game that expedited survey activities like this.

In the 21st century we can find ancient ruins from space using satellites.

This is Sooooooooo booorrrrrrrriiinnnnnggggggggggg.

Yeah, Mars orbiter can photograph the Mars rover, that's no bigger than an average car, but we have to be within kilometers of the surface to see a huge structure like the ruins, it seems humanity devolved technically in some areas.

This sounds good and may be the best we got so far. Like Venus is the only planet in our solar system which rotates clockwise and all other planets including earth anti-clockwise. Can anyone confirm if this is true? If among all those planets and moons in those 4 systems there is only 1 in each system which spins in the opposite direction as the others, then this could really mean something.

There is also Uranus.

I would have preferred that FD gave us the tools to help us find needles instead of just pointing at 4 haystacks.

POI start from 2km up to at least 14km. Just tested it. As for the sites I think they do but can't remember.

Unless you skim the surface at around 7.5K or less with graphics set to low finding anything is impossible;

It's rather ridiculous that ultra is worse than low.

Also note that with ultra turned on you see a lot of false positives, i.e. I saw lots of ridges, straight lines and "other sites" which flatten out to nothing as you approach!

(EDIT: of course assuming any new sites has simialr piles of earth)

It's worse than I thought it depends on the mood of the graphics engine;

I kept my terrain texture at Ultra and just turned off Shadows and Terrain Material Quality to Low and I could see the circle and line in the ruins at 25Km up. It stood out less above that.

I refuse to do this. I'm not giving up on one of the best things this game has which is it's visuals to counter the lack of tools to do the job. My eyes are already bleeding with all this scanning.

Ironically this kind of donwgrade would be considered as an exploit in many online games and could get you banned. Ha! Yep, we are there.
