Guardian Gal map filters

[777Driver]

Not sure if this is a bug or I just don't fully understand how the new filters work. Am on my second Guardian structure collecting for weapon upgrades, unfortunately my bookmarks are maxed out, tried the filter and it is showing me lots of structures in this region of space, however none of the ones I actually visited are showing up. How do the filters actually work? I thought they only show structures that I have visited.

Cheers

Way overdue. Any idea as to why all these Guardian sites are showing on my map? Perhaps discovering one unlocks them all on the scanner? I can see at least 6 or 7 within 60LY of location, however the bizarre thing is the one's I have been to are not showing up.

It's only supposed to show the ones you have been to???

Weird... when I saw the galnet post from Ram Tah, I immediately checked the mentioned systems, and put this filter on, it showed the new sites as blue, signifying gaurdian sites, EXCEPT the last one in the galnet article, which was not shown on there.

Obviously, I then chose to go to this one, and found the site immediately.

I figured it was based on if other commanders had ever discovered them or something?

Yeah, think I it got it wrong, it is only things like tech brokers that need to be visited before they appear on the map. I am seeing all the thargoid and guardian sites using the filters.

If it didn't change since I was there (which wasn't that long ago) then some sites won't show up through the galaxy map filter. From the 3 new sites mentioned in galnet I think 2 didn't show up for me and both of those had only new guardian structures but no ancient ruins. I believe what the filter finds for now is just systems with ancient ruins (many of which will also have the new sites)

Some of the guardian structures are not showing up using guardian galmap filters.

You can check each system manually by looking directly at the systems bodies,no matter the distance they will show up as something you can target.

Im assuming for the moment the structures are pretty close to ancient ruins and the filters are showing ruin sites,which gives us an area to search for the structures.

This may not be the case but its the scenario that makes most sense to me.

Could even be the site listed in galnet thats not shown as a guardian system in the filters is to show us how to find them.

Again just my best guess at the moment.

I'd noticed this, i made some assumption it was some side-effect of internal system where the Guardian base is very far away from the main star and so not being associated.

This is probably rubbish tho, I didn't think about it too much.

But how are folk finding ones that are not showing via the Galmap filter? Just luck?

There is something wonky with that particular sub-menu filter. Was trying to find mat and data traders and it lit up a whole bunch of unoccupied stars.

I've found that filtering by population is now quite hit-and-miss. It used to respond almost immediately, if I moved the minimum population slider right, deleting any unoccupied stars. But now it can take anywhere up to a minute to remove unpopulated stars...

Might be something similar.

Only systems with ancient ruins in them will show up on the galaxy map Guardian filter. Systems with only Guardian structures will not not work with the filter.

Filter works for systems that have:
Ancient ruins: Yes
Ancient ruins + Guardian structures: Yes
Guardian Structures: no
