It's being discussed in the Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn Threadnaught.
Has anyone else noticed that the ruins obelisk and the rising towers have a different layout now, then it was during the Data collection CG.
I placed in the top 10 cmdrs for that CG and had a very good memory of what the ruins looked like.
There are now obelisk and a rising tower located on the "landing pad" area which was empty before and there are obelisk missing from another area.
Was this an FD fix or did the ruins move themselves?

Yes Josh Hawkins mentioned that the layout had changed in his last video. His theory is that FD was not ready for the players to find it when they did. Its pretty funny. I mean without an explanation from FD should we read something into this. Did the Guardians visit last week and rearrange the furniture

So the CMDR's on Josh Hawkins stream got it wrong then? They were saying that once you get all 81 pieces of the puzzle you habd them in and get the 100 million reward. So in total you would end up with around 181 million.
Liked your video on the subject. Good work, as usual.

It's unclear whether the fact the combinations don't work for everyone is actually due to a bug, or server lag at the moment. :/
Also, everyone who completes the mission will get the reward. The mission pays out in increments, basically 1 million (sometimes a bit more?) for each piece of decoded information. This will cap out at the full 100 million.
For what it's worth, I'm loving the backstory that is being revealed through this...

They may actually be correct on that. The reward of 100 million could be in addition to the other reward. So yes, maybe 181 million total.
It could be either way.
Frontier should really make this stuff clearer.
It's the most random joke they have played yet.

All it would have took was for whoever wrote Ram Tah's dialogue to actually be competent.
Ive just arrived at the site. I came here when it was discovered. Its changed. I took a screen shot and it was more defined, but i struggled to find it this time.

Looks like your computer hadn't loaded in a high resolution version. See http://i.imgur.com/U7BJGHq.jpg for a slightly clearer current arrangement.
I think I prefer the 2nd picture. Looks like a half buried skull.....
Is this a Community Goal or something?
Nope, mission.

Number of combinations with repetition, multiplied by the number of obelisks
Ok, so if I understood correctly, you have to scan from your SRV with a total room for cargo of two. You combine the four objects + the empty cargo space. Mathematically, that's called number of combinations with repetition. k is 2, n is 5, 5 multichoose 2 is 15 combinations. Those 15 have to be tested on all 15 obelisks, 15 times 15 is
225 scans
Right, you possibly won't need all of them, you'll stop when you've got everything you need. Or maybe the outcome of a scan is totally random. Either way,
count me out.

Is there a thread, which isn't the mega thread, for just this ruins mission?
I'm having a hard time finding a comprehensive map, or guide with the possible or likely combination.
And I don't really get enough time to just faff. (Otherwise I'd make my own map and all, but life is annoying that way!)
I'm also a terrible SRV driver, and I'm rapidly running out of repair mats. Lol
(Is it me, or are the SRVs getting softer with each update?)
The section in the first post in the mega thread links to a dedicated spreadsheet with specific information/images - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...ology-and-other-mysteries-Thread-9-The-Canonn
There does not appear to be ANY logic behind it, so far.
It's just scan ALL the obelisks, with ALL the combinations of FIVE different items in your hold.
Problems I have with this:
1. Finding the site. Why can't we put a waypoint onto the planet surface? - Why aren't we given waypoints by the mission giver, surely HE knows where the alien sites are that he wants scanned??
2. Why is my SRV now at 50% hull when the shields haven't ever been breached? Yes, it's been upside down a few times
2a. Why does my SRV wheels get stuck on the edges of obelisks and why can't it drive over those stupid little rocks??
3. Why don't the Obelisks refresh? I've had to relog to get a fresh instance. (I know devs say they do refresh - obvs not quickly enough).
I am AMAZED that anyone managed to find this in the first place.
