Thank You CMDR. I dont think they are relevant for solving the riddle, but maybe for lore-wise. Kinda reminds me on Dresden Codex.

You know on leaving site 2 in solo with all beacons "lit" and intact (sight was in darkness) - it's so much easier to see- anyone figure a way to light the beacons from orbit should get a special prize
- oh that would be hilarious if all this time we were searching and FDev were wondering how we missed the "obvious" switch for the "landing" lights
Those beacons keep puzzling me, either they have a specific purpose beyond giving us a relic, or it's just for effect, the latter would be disappointing to me.
We don´t need quests that can be solved in 1 day, because we always will consume content faster than FD is able to bring us, even if they have zillions of developers. And besides that, this quest is only 0,00001 % of the whole game, there is enough stuff out there that is solvable for an average, or even below average player.
I think that this quest, the Formidine mystery and the Alien interdictions are exactly what we needed and I hope FD will continue to bring us more long-term stuff into the game.
Besides that: Someone posted a theory about coordinates a couple of posts before. As far as I can tell there´s nothing to see at the specific places, 1 more system to go though.
If you only saw two pics try again as I had to re-upload and edit my original post
All 3 should be there now
You know I was joking at first - but, I think next trip out I'll fit detailed scanner as well as advanced scanner - make sure I have at least 4 of every relic, totem etc in the hold and approach a fresh know site and try honking etc - if it works and the beacons "pop" up I don't know whether to laugh or cry

Anyone have more than 64 notes so far?
Agreed, but we do need something to keep folk interested, this thread is getting slower and slower by the day.
finding more alien ships, alien carcasses perhaps skeletons, one of the things that kept me going in other games was small things, I use Skyrim as example, finding a trinket and note, nothing major, but it kept me going along the quest, it maintained a connection to past events.
All 3 are changing.

Maybe we should "ask" the dude at FeliceDock to figure out how to trigger those from Orbit... i'm sure with all the data and Relics we've brought back, he can figure out a wave pattern we can trigger with our scanners... *cough*
What solution are you reffering to?
Obelisks. Dark side. [cool] Edit: 1 hi-res pic of 1 obelisk is enough

Ah, I meant the layout/geometry of the ruins themselves (the walls/mounds). There doesn't seem to be any suggestion (in the text we've discovered) that these contain any information.
But the *obelisk* layout - that is explicitly called out as important.
- it's the element we know most about (as site 3 gives us lots of new information).
- it's the element that FDev re-drew when site 1 was patched.
- it's the element that no-one has even the faintest idea about.
Are you referring to the patterns on he base probably kind of fitting onto the glyphs as an overlay? Or do you know something that I do not know?
Fyi;
ObsidianAnt finally made his way to the third alien site.
