I think the bright dots seen in the trailer are not moons or planets. I'm pretty sure they are stars and I think I know which ones, but I'm not sure if I should post it because I got my inspiration from something another user posted about the beta. Anyways, I think FD left those stars on purpose and blacked out everything else so the bright dots grabbed our attention.

So, I ask the Cannon community and the moderation team if I should go ahead or better stop typing right now.

I have just noticed after taking a break from alien research and ruins that for instance on COL 173 SECTOR AV-N B23-5 A2 Gamma 1 that its got red tenting on the obelisks and on the patterns in the ground. I wonder if this refers to the Red and Green races that the lore talks about. I wonder if this has any relation to how we go about finding the missing solo data. This site happens to be a non + site variation.

There is a canonn ruins thread over in the beta forum that may be a better place to avoid 2.3 spoilers.

I will edit a link in shortly.

Dust from planets natural ground colour. More pronounced on planets with a reddish tinge.

Wild goose chase confirmed.

The guy who took the screenshot I posted earlier received a reply from Ed Lewis. It apparently was just an artifact caused by their switching video sources to play the trailer.

Sorry for the waste of time, everyone.

I've tried searching for quite some time but have drawn a blank... Can any of you remember where there was a schematic diagram of the companies linked with Sirius Corp, Meta drive, and dozens of others...? If so, could you point me in the right direction please?

How do? Sorry to interrupt but does anyone know if the Ram Tah ruins scanning mission repeatable? I played it once and had to cash it in 7 scans short as I ran out of time, however once I'd 'completed' it I was given the mission again. Nice one, I thought, however on my return one of the ruin sites I don't seem to be getting any of the messages from completing the scans. Anyone else replayed this recently? Is it bugged or am I missing something?

Delete the messages in your inbox to get them again - you should be getting the credits though.

Confused much. Either we're being trolled/baited or we're supposed to look for clues in the trailer after all. Kinda contradicts what David Braben said about trailers lately.

Kinda like how you complained and posted a meme that said IM OUT... and then kept posting.

Message received, you don't like these trailer hints. Message received. We heard you. We heard you.

There was a line in the beta patch notes that I asked about, but got no answer from the devs:

* Ancient sites should not longer change layout (but all layouts will permanently change)

I fear it may mean that all the work done so far mapping the layouts will be useless when 2.3 hits.

Has anyone heard anything else about this?
Click to expand...

Yes but we are in a holding pattern, waiting for the real 2.3 release.
People can't or don't want to access the beta, so people are just taking a break.
Then as you say, when 2.3 releases, we will start up and figure out what needs to be done with the maps.

Hey JT442,

I'm the original author of these diagrams.

They can be found in this album, as I create and update them: http://imgur.com/a/AmR2y

Are these the ones you meant?

Alright, here goes my theory, of course I could be very wrong but I find it interesting. Everything from here should be considered as +++SPOILERS+++ and you should stop right now if you don't want to read them.

Alright, my brother bought the game a few days ago and he wants to visit the Pleiades to see the crash sites, barnacles and get some meta-alloys for Felicity. I travelled there first to meet him later and when I was approaching the Pleiades I noticed the shape of the stars, and how 3 of them formed a triangle, so when I was checking the thread I read about HIP 22460 and I decided to go there to take a look and landed on one of the moons of the grey shaded gas giant.

In the trailer we can see three bright dots close to the planet forming a triangle, as seen in this pic.

Those bright dots were considered moons of the gas giant, but I think they are not moons, but stars, namely Alcyone, Electra and Taygeta.

Then I took a screenshot of the sky and put it over the image from the trailer and those three stars match perfectly over the three bright dots. Here's a very amateur composite of it.

I had to resize and rotate my screenshot to make them match but I think the offset it's because it was taken from the wrong coordinates or from the wrong moon. That gas giant has three moons and I only checked one of them.

Hope this makes sense.

Wow, nice find. I have to ask, though: are the things shown in the trailer (besides the ship kits) actually in game yet? The big dead alien I mean? I hope it is, but what if it's not even on live yet? Not that this should stop anyone from trying to find it anyway :D

I doubt it's in live but a few of us have been trying to find barnacles on those three moons for a couple of days bearing in mind that it shows what appears to be a ripened (opened) barnie in the video. Only things I've come across so far are geysers

Around the coordinates of the screenshots are plenty of canyons which could have barnacles on them. I've looked for a while on them but couldn't find anything. The screenshots were taken at HIP 22460 10 A.

If you have something rolling I'd happily join a coordinated search effort.

By the way, I really think FDev left those bright dots and blacked out everything else on purpose.
