Decoding the ancient ruins

so, have just been to Felice Dock in Meene and received the mission, then was in total bewilderment because he doesn't tell you where to go or even a slight clue for the direction of where to go, checking the galaxy map revealed nothing so sat there believing i may have missed something. Nope. had to resort to cheating by checking the internet. found location of first ancient site so headed off. so, got there and parked up on the outskirts and started to explore and..... what do i do? no clue no help nothing! now, i dont mind figuring stuff out on my own but was really flummoxed so, checked the internet again for a hint.. felt dirty and guilty but had no choice. so, go and collect the artifacts ok will do so off i go collecting and... only two at a time so trudging back to my ship every time i pick up two artifacts and was getting pretty annoyed and still no real idea of what to do, reading the mission ... oh, have some artifacts in your srv whilst scanning the obelisks but.. could be one could be two could be a combination of hundreds! consulted the internet again and found that yes, you have to have specific artifacts in your srv to get the right data from the obelisks and thought what? that cant be right, i have to first collect all of them and transport them to my ship two at a time which takes an age over the uneven terrain and then, pick two, or one, and go back in the hope of scanning the right obelisks with hopefully the right combination of artifacts in my hold!! i love a challenge but this seemed ridiculous as i spent nearly all my time collecting the damn things and then i could be there forever trying the combinations and might not get any in hours of monotonous 'gameplay'... i really want to immerse myself in this part of the game but it seems so much work of trial and error where you might make no progress whatsoever that, i gave up and now i am ashamed of myself and slept on it and will retry but, am i doing something wrong am i going about it wrong is my whole approach wrong? really dont want to consult a guide top get through it so any ideas on what, if i am, doing wrong? thanks for reading! :D
 
In the heat of the moment I said some things that inside, I am not proud of, and I apologise my love of my life Elite.
