At an Ancient Ruins, the main examples are on Relic Towers (the towers that appear out of the ground with Relics on the top), the surface of the Relics (IIRC), on the object inside the Relics, and on the Obelisk displays (as you’ve spotted).
Any puzzles to crack?

It’s not the Obelisk displays themselves, they’re just part of it.
The Obelisks were originally a flickering pixelated 3 x <| |> grid.
In 3.0 they were changed to display the objects required for the Ram Tah missions. (That just seemed to be to make the original Ram Tah mission more accessible and to hint that the second one required Thargoid items.)
They’re now showing a flickering grid again but this time it’s 2 x <| |> grid.
It’s the comparison with the other examples of writing that’s important at this stage IMHO.
Maybe the guardian number system is a base 3 or base 6
We are using the base 10 system (decimal) because we have 10 fingers.
When guardians have 3 "fingers" (as shown in the logos you can put on your ships), there base may be 3 or 6.
But when it comes to math, I'm the wrong guy

You're probably right. At least some, if not all Thargoid stuff was in base 8.Maybe the guardian number system is a base 3 or base 6

It'd be interesting to see all the guardian writing, but I can't find it myself.

Here’s some images of the relic where the writing can be seen. Note there’s writing on the surface of the Relic (most easily seen in the first image) and on the object inside the Relic.

Here's one:
Thargoid Bubble attack pattern (reposted with more info)
Decided to do a new thread to include the wire graph I plotted. Keeping the old info from the first post, but adding a lot more information in (a lot for me at least.) What I did was break down the thargoid station attacks in to groups of 4, from there I visualized straight lines from one...
What do you think of Raxxla ? I figured so far Raxxla mean "Star crossed Lovers" any thoughts ?

Go to Chukchan system and look for an abandoned ghost ship (a megaship). Check the logs. They will give you a nice puzzle to solve.
Non-spoiler hint (only because not many people do it)
Read the local news on the station. Hopefully the info will still be there, as it's important for the puzzle.
The story has continued since then, but this is a nice place to start to get some background on some of the current events.
I'd caution; the first patterns were meaningless, the second patterns were visual indicators of what items you needed for the codex entry.
They then briefly disappeared due to the lighting issues.
In its current state it's actually different between Horizons and Odyssey... Horizons shows the correct symbology for the required items... Odyssey shows two (rather than three) orb-like patterns that resemble the first (meaningless) state.
The inconsistency between the two is a major red flag that it's adopting some fallback pattern or similar, and before anyone goes "Oh, it might be different for Odyssey, and maybe there's some on-foot stuff with Guardians we've not discovered by not decoding the pattern".... that would be a first for FD and a breakaway from it's current design patterns.
Yeah, I meant the writing as a whole though not trying to decode the pattern on the Obelisks.
Ahhh okay. I would have missed that if you hadn't shown me. I did actually collect a couple of those but, without zooming in on them I didn't notice the writing.
Interesting. What I'd do is thoroughly explore the Tiliala system, including all planet surfaces for further clues. If this yields nothing, then I'd say it represents the discovery of another thing sitting on the "later-base" (something Frontier Developments plan to implement but as of yet haven't bothered).Here's one:

I like that, it's poetic. I believe Raxxla is in the game in some form or another because apparently some of the developers have confirmed it's out there and that they know what it is and where.
However...
Although there are allegedly bread crumbs to follow - I think it's evidently an extremely tenuous trail, probably because the developers don't want it to be discovered either soon or at all. There could be several reasons for that - one is that it's simply an incentive to keep people looking (keep the mystery and excitement alive), and finding it may end the game in some way, or throw it off balance somehow. Another reason could be that it's not implemented, like so many other things. Or it could just be that it's simply underwhelming, and the mystery itself is greater than the prize. Personally I suspect it's probably the latter. With so many things being unfinished (countless permit locked areas), I think whatever clues to it's whereabouts which are out there are deliberately vague as to be essentially indecipherable so that it's not discovered before it's ready.
the one which gives you a message to decode, which provides a partial region name, or heading and definitely a distance in LY, I think I've already done it. Part of the solution was to rearrange the code in columns, and a 3 digit number followed by "LY" was in there. Something about a ship which drifted through space I think. That the one you're talking about?
Aye, it's possibly a wild goose chase. Actually I find it hard to believe the community hasn't been making records of all the different "writing" somewhere. The only reason I can think of for people not to bother is if it's become quite obvious that there's nothing mysterious or cryptic about it at all...?
Your razzle collection will be about 400 billion times easier to find than Raxxla.

Yes, that's the one. Did you end up in the abandoned base and found the Sidewinder wreck as well? And then the Thargoid's wreck?
It’s one of those things where for whatever reason, just not that many people paid attention to it. The obelisk displays got a lot of attention, but the writing as a whole didn’t.
And let's not go near the Thargoid lens flare morse XD
