Not enough. Europa and Enceladus have that sort of thing and they have no atmosphere. You need a LOT of volcanism to create enough outgassing for a proper atmosphere. Planet acne simply won't cut it.

Not to mention some decent gravity and a magnetosphere.

So that's it ? No more puzzle solving or 'science' ? Just wait for the FDevs to tell us where to search and then invest THOUSANDS of hours.man flying almost blind? Not a single pair of binoculars ?
And in the end an other The Hunt-style "ALL THAT FOR THAT" ? We Rifters are having exactly the same 'hype' ....

I'm just going to say you have not felt isolation until you've visited IC 2391 SECTOR ZE-A D101 C1...

Again I have to ask why would tidal locking matter for LOS? Tidally locked planets still rotate, they only don't seem to rotate from when the centre is the body they orbit. However, for permanent LOS purposes we must assume the centre is the other ancient site. From the sight of the other ancient site, a tidally locked body still rotates and always faces a different direction towards the ancient site. For a permanent line of sight the poles of a target planet would need to point towards another ancient site and the ancient site would need to be near the poles. But since on the alpha ancient site the site is not near one of the poles and the stars above the ancient site always change, there can't be a permanent LOS, at least not from this ancient site.
I tried that. First off: as the ancient relics stack while in your cargo hold, it means a relic from any beacon should do, otherwise, how should you separate them if you have multiple in your cargo hold.I had this in my mind as well. If those relics in the beacons do indeed correspond each to a different ancient site, maybe jettison it and it will orient itself in the direction of the site or something? I haven't tried it myself yet, too lazy flying back to the alpha ruins site
Secondly, I did not see it pointing at a specific location[be it a star or planetary body], assuming it is pointing along its longest axis and not sideways. Then again it took so long for me to get a good look while it was falling in the planet's gravity, that it was destroyed shortly after.

Ruin Sounds start around ~2km above the sites and near 1-2km from each site.
But also with this... its driving nuts to search for in normal speed mode.
I could see them in ~7km height but only with knowledge WHAT i have to search and exactly where it is located.
I hoped to some sensor distortions near the right planet. But that would be TO easy. Meh...
Could someone in the old ruins fly in SC and test it that there could be some special sounds near the planet too?

For what it's worth, this is what happened to me earlier. Looking back it sounds like it didn't even come from the game itself, but I have no idea where else it could have come from. It's loud so you may want to turn your speakers/headsets down.

Fun fact: you don't necessarily need a magnetosphere to hold on to an atmosphere. Venus has no magnetosphere and its atmosphere is 90 times thicker than Earth's atmosphere.
We're pretty sure Mars lost its atmospheric water to space due to solar flares, but the fact that it still has an atmosphere suggests that there's more to it than just not having a magnetosphere.
Gravity would make sense, but then how does Venus have a thicker atmosphere with less gravity than Earth? The answer is we honestly don't know yet.

Hey maybe don't pop into a forum and tell the regulars they have a bad attitude and should get out.
Get out of the forum until you have found something worth posting. Or just cool it.
PS the forum software shows your user name, you don't need to sign your posts.
Hmm. I just looked it up, because you raised a good point. Apparently it has a different kind of magnetosphere. Instead of a metallic moving core, Venus has a magnetosphere due to certain particles reacting in the upper atmosphere. You should look it up for a better description.
Edit: Also a theory on Mars is that it is still losing atmosphere, since its metal core has RELATIVELY recently cooled (thus losing magnetosphere).
STOP EDITING YOUR POST lol: Venus' atmo is thick due to a runaway greenhouse effect. At least thats what I remember

I've found some video with the ambient sound.
This starts around 1-2km around the ruins in each direction.
Could someone listen to this noises in the SC near the old planet if they appear there too? <cruising with 500km/s over the surface of some planet> ~_~

i think if a brute force grindathon is what Fdev want then anyone still searching should start with the system with the least amount of lanndables, that ruin will be found first and then progress from there perhaps
That's news to me. Sounds like you're talking about an ionosphere. Not quite a magnetosphere, but it is important nonetheless. Earth has one as well.
Definitely doesn't sound alien.. that's an eagle screech if I'm not mistaken... Are you sure you didn't launch another game in the background, or have somthing else running?
Slightly off topic seeing everyone and their dog (or cat) is off scanning vast tracts of land.....I've come across an image I took of the original ruins, before Frontier got a chance to retro-fit them. I was fascinated by the 'buried' features all over the place. Probably removed as they figured our heads would explode trying to find some hidden meaning to them, but ohh it looks nice.
aaaand just realised that photobucket completely downscaled that image and nothing is visible anymore.....
That should be better:

I've found some vents! Not ruins though... (XbOne)
IC 2391 Sector ZE-A D101 C 3 A
19.4989
61.8989
There are smoking vents with shootable "Spike Crystals" containing materials here.

Agreed. It sounds like a commercial started running. Can't quite place the music but that's definitely not from ED.
