Hi
Bit of a no0b question, but I've only just started with Elite (although owned the commodore 64 80's version as a kid
), anyway, I've received the notification from Ram Tah about the 2 Guardian missions, but I don't have any map location information in the notifications - see screenshot below ... is there something I'm missing?
Hi Cmdr, welcome back to Elite and welcome to ED and the forums!
Some of the answer depends on how you want to approach things and how self sufficient you want to be.
The Decoding The Ancient Ruins mission is the older of the two, and was originally effectively a large scale community mission which took weeks of effort from a lot of players to solve!
There’s various guides available to it now, but in release 3.0 changes were brought in which mean it should be possible to do the mission on your own without a guide.
Factabulous has already provided links to a guide.
If you fancy taking a stab at doing it without a guide, then all you need to get started is to use the Civilisations filter in Galmap as Yure mentions. To get yourself to the right general area of space, just head right on the Galmap from Meene, or use the search function on Galmap and look for ‘Vela Pulsar’ or ‘Regor’ which will get you to the right general area of space.
The Deciphering The Guardian Logs mission is newer and works in a similar way to the Deocding The Ancient Ruins mission but is more complicated and challenging. Completely up to you whether you want to have a try to do it on your own or use a guide.
I’d recommend trying to do the missions without the guides at least to start with as you’ll get more out of it that way (unless you dislike puzzles & puzzle solving of course!). Also read the logs and take some time to take in the sights (and sounds!)!
As Galnet isn’t searchable in game as yet you can also just google ‘Galnet Ram Tah’ and that should get you to relevant articles. There’s also a very helpful archive of Galnet articles at

Hope that all helps. Happy hunting, cmdr!
