Default How do we find the hidden ancient ruins?

How do we find the ruins? Do we have to move to each and every planet in a sector or will we find them by merely coming into the sector?

The ruins planets will have a little Stonehenge type icon and a message saying they have ruins when you click on them. You can also see all the ruins worlds in all the systems you've explored by going to the Planet list screen and selecting "Special".

Sorry for being dense, but do we need to go to the planet with a ship to benefit from the technology or do we need to colonize it?

ONLY colonize a planet if you want to use the planet.

nope. ruins often have big enough incentives to make it worthwhile to use a colony ship if it's tiny and not your atmosphere. like random tech levels.
