Here are several questions about the Decoding the Ancient Ruins mission given by Ram Tah.

Question 1: Is the mission repeatable, especially if I don't get all the data within the time limit?

Answer 1: Yes it is repeatable.

Question 2: Where are all of the Ancient Ruin sites located? (Only needs answering if the Elite: Dangerous wiki is missing locations)

Answer 2: TBA

Question 3: Is there a way to tell what data type an obelisk is? (Biology, Culture, History, Language, Technology)

Answer 3: TBA

Question 4: Is there a way to tell what combinations of items (Ancient Orbs, Tablets, Totems, Relic, Urns, and Caskets) will unlock the unique data package for a specific obelisk other than trial and error? If so, then how?

Answer 4: TBA

Question 5: Is there any use for the Pattern Alpha, Beta, Delta, Epsilon and Gamma Obelisk data that fills up your data storage?

Answer 5: TBA

Question 6: Is it currently possible to get all the data the mission requires? And if it is, what is the best way to go about doing so?

Answer 6: It appears to not be possible to get all the data since v2.3.

Hopefully with some community help there will be answers and this can be used to make a useful guide :)

Try the front page of the top stickied thread in this section of the forum... you will find all of your answers and more!

Most important answer- no it cannot be completed at this time as tech 06 data has not been found or is likely broken.
It is repeatable, just return data before mission elapses- it'll be on mission board of station that you got it at. Launch and dock to get mission again.

So "2.2 The Guardians" main content is still broken and not completable? I tried it when it launched and just gave up on it because it was so buggy but I honestly expected FD to have fixed the headline feature of 2.2 ages ago.

What a farce.

Answer 2: Best source is canonn: https://ruins.canonn.technology/# - this does not include the ruins that have not been verified, but they are validating new ruins as they are found.

Answer 3: Only by looking up data previously gathered (Canonn maps or other spreadsheets). Patterns in the ordering of the items has been determined, and it's also the case that in most cases a group of obelisks will share one 'base' item.

Answer 4: Well, depends :) The Canonn API lists which items unlock which obelisks, and this works at any site, but the locations were found by trial and error. (The previously mentions Canonn maps also allow you to find the correct items by clicking on the obelisk in question.)

Answer 5: Not at the moment, there have in the past been CGs that asked for certain scan types. You will always get more, it's fine to dump them.
