That's why this thread was set up, to coordinate ideas and data in the hunt for Raxxla, it's in the name of the thread.
The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
Is Raxxla physically in game and accessible?
Maybe… DB said it was in the game, MB said it was in the galaxy; Arthur Tolmie said ‘it’s out there and has been for some time’…. And there is a codex promoting it… so likely yes it is. Because omitting the codex makes more sense if it is not, because the Codex is promoting it.
The codex also builds upon the mythos giving additional data which was never in game previously, advocating a physical relationship and a passage of time…
is it in game but not accessible?
Maybe, it could be an environmental aspect or it could be narratively locked or some type of foreshadowing?
DB was prone to hyperbole, and talked about things that never transpired; MB and AT were both cryptic, and could have been talking about things which were temporal; the codex might just be very literal and a method of resolving historical loose threads!
No one knows for certain. But certainly no one here is delusional O7.
What I know is, I’m pretty certain ‘something’ existed in game, I’m pretty certain that - whatever it was, had a environmental link to various locations in game, and these can be interpreted to correlate to concepts of a very large cosmology, which itself could correlate to a spatial map, advocated by the codex…
Am I projecting… could be, although I am qualified
and I’m pretty certain what I found is real…is that currently linked to Raxxla, or is it archeological? Who knows, it might be totally fictional or even irrelevant…
But it was fun discovering it…do I think it will lead to Raxxla… it might, it might not, but I think everyone here has identified some pretty astonishing things, probably at FD disgruntlement…
And that’s why we quest, to explore.

Edit
Both DB and MB said Raxxla was in game from the outset (well. Gamma). MB later added (see my FD quotes thread):
It is something in-game (not text) and very hard to find
It is not a random thing
Anyone can find it, and more than once.
So yes, it is both in-game and accessible, with lots of luck and a blue moon!
Ee lad, but the search has driven me to drink!!

Oh dear. I am not a fan of AI, but decided to do another quick search on "in-game (not text) and very hard to find"
And got this:
If something is "in-game (not text) and very hard to find," it would typically be referred to as a "hidden item" or "Easter egg" - a secret object or detail within a game that is not readily apparent and often requires specific actions or exploration to discover.
Key points about hidden items/Easter eggs:
Visual element:
They are usually not explained in the game's narrative or instructions, requiring players to actively search for them visually within the game world.
Challenge to find:
These items are intentionally placed in hard-to-reach areas, hidden behind puzzles, or require specific conditions to trigger their appearance.
Rewarding discovery:
Finding a hidden item often provides a sense of accomplishment or unlocks a small bonus, like a special cosmetic item or behind-the-scenes information.
So, AI-confirmed, finding Raxxla will give us a new Cobra mk3 paintjob!

It's quite possible that it's in the game, but just locked for the time being. Perhaps technical limitations prevented FDev from opening it to the public, or just lack of time and resources. As for the Codex the article on Raxxla clearly compares Raxxla to other myths such as Atlantis, basically saying it's just legends and rumors to make you go look for it. There's nothing like the human imagination, they feed us a few rumors and cryptic messages and we compeled to look and search for it. If that was their point, they couldn't just deny Raxxla being a real thing, it would kill the myth altogether. However if you are evasive about it and avoid talking about it altogether (in a decade there's very few quotes we can find on this matter) you allow the myth to grow and expand in the players minds.Is Raxxla physically in game and accessible?

But I have to admit, even if it's all just a myth created by FDev to spice up the game lore, it's still fun looking for it (or was in my case). So if that was their intention I guess it works, although I would much rather have the real thing ingame, or at the very least get invited to The Dark Wheel and be fed leads to investigate.
Oh well, perhaps one of you here will succeed where everyone else failed and finally find Raxxla and share it to the world.

I have flu so out of boredom had a 40 min discourse with AI, from a totally unloaded context of ‘a place is not a place’… what was interesting was no matter how it was approached, repeatedly it kept referring to John Milton… which considering how it was never a loaded question I found interesting.
Interesting from the perspective of an infinite monkey-cage, given AI have limited perspective and data and its inability to distinguish real data and build false information.
Its conclusion was it represented Hell in Milton’s cosmos, as all other aspects were physical (which I disagreed with). It continued to disappoint as it repeatedly opted to agree with my hypothesis around Celtic otherworlds…rather than challenge, further evidence of its ignorance of acceptance of any data as data…
Pointless 40 mins of wasted energy, AI as I’ve opinionated is a narcissistic plague which vomits grey data… it will kill us all, and is leading us into the hands of some sinister cabal or sole tyrant.

You should've stopped right there ^.
The rest of your post(s) don't really add much to this thread unfortunately.
---------
Now then, for any fellow current RAXXLA searchers: Has anyone tried placing a 'Thargoid Sensor' into your cargo bay ( anti-corrosive version of course ) and then scanning around some of the rumored/suspected potential systems to see if maybe something triggers?
Mm, we never really had (IMO) a good explanation of what the UA/thargoid sensors were looking for. So maybe it might be worth picking up a UA/TS before trying to drop into the Pareco comet?

Ee lad, but the search has driven me to drink!!
I finally found the source of those statements by MB: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/gamma-2-secret-added.71798/
It was suggested that those statements might also be applicable to Voyager in Sol, so perhaps not Raxxla!!??
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/major-clue-s-on-raxxla-and-how-to-locate-it.579282/page-2
I did note that MB did not confirm that he was referring to Voyager, so it could still be Raxxla he was talking about...I do wish someone from FDev would give us a little Xmas present and tell us what is and what is not pertinent to Raxxla. This confusion is decidely offputting!
Edit
So, at the moment I think the only things we can rely on wrt RAXXLA are:
It is in game:
DB confirmation to Drew Wagar
MB interview with DJTruthsayer: “It’s in the Milky Way, but I can’t tell you where at this stage, it’s a journey that everyone has to travel for themselves” and “you have to make some of it a tiny little bit obvious so people know what they’re doing”
Forum Q: founder's world name?...Shinrarta Dezhra... I'm a tiny little bit disappointed they didn't call it Raxxla - A: (MB) “Raxxla is something different”
(MB) in answer to the forum post "Legacy was billed in the Kickstarter campaign as a sequel to The Dark Wheel, however, I was expecting more of a direct follow up ...There was a throwaway reference to Raxxla near the beginning of the story but... " MB did explicitly respond “It was more of a spiritual successor than a direct sequel. We did look at a story involving Raxxla, but felt that was a story that should be played out in game rather than as a novel.”
(DB) Beyond - Chapter Two - Launch Livestream 13 mins 48: “Does Raxxla exist? There’s an interesting one. What a silly question, of course....You don’t know what it is though!”
Beyond - Chapter Four - Exploration Reveal18Oct2018 Will Flanagan (CM) with Adam Woods (Exec Producer) & Adam Bourke-Waite (Senior Designer). @1:29:58 AB-W said “that thing we haven’t shown” (i.e. Raxxla codex entry) “there’s elements of that that are probably my favourite parts of this”.
m.youtube.com/watch?v=rtmmmP_waf4&list=PL7glm5rbPHKw5-Bx_eQuz3SX7-dyAiyJh&index=9&pp=iAQB
And the Codex entries with various bits of prose and a logo/pictogram/map/thingy, all of which may or may not be true/relevant.
Edit2
Since I found they were in-game as type SmallBody then I've thought a comet could be a good fit for "tiny little bit obvious", particularly the Pareco comet being highlighted by 6 orbiting stations....

That is exactly what many of us think
I doubt it, my guess is they are waiting for a 'trigger'
Exactly
I actually hope we never find it, the journey is proving too much fun
When NASA embarked on research for the first moon landings during those first five years they accidentally invented a shed load of products we still use today.
During the research and testing for Artemis, they and their partners have made some discovery's which will benefit us all even if we don't reach Mars in the foreseeable future.
This thread is just the same, we have read books and researched stuff many of us would have laughed at in the beginning and made discovery's we would not have found if it wasn't for Raxxla.

Unfortunately for you I'm not here to only share what you agree with. Sorry if I busted your bubble in any way.
Raaxla is in the Dromi newbie zone... Newbies don't know to look for it, and anyone else can't get int here to look for it. Perfect place to hide it.
I disagree about the trigger, in my view it wouldn't be reasonable to hide something no one could find in 10 years time. At this point if there was something in the game which no one had found yet the devs would have acted and done something about it. But I can understand other points of view, it's really depends on what YOU believe yourself or find more probable. There's no wrong opinions here. And even if you don't believe Raxxla is in the game, you can still spend time and effort looking for it when any clues or leads show up. Makes running missions and killing pirates more enjoyable if you have some goals, even if they are very long shots.
But I agree with the other part, I always assumed FDev intended us to get invited to TDW which would then open the doors to different mysteries and at best we would find clues and leads about Raxxla, giving us a bit more insight on it, without actually revealing where it is. Or we would get a tourist beacon with some sort of explanation to what it is, without allowing us access to it.
What exactly are you "sharing" other than standard forum pessimism? And why are you here? eh nevermind, it's fairly obvious based on your posts.
Fortunately, earnest/fun players within this massive thread don't need your permission, nor your "agreement", to continue searching for whatever RAXXLA turns out to be.
You didn't. You can't. No one can. ( except maybe Frontier )
And that's the whole point.
Couldn't hurt to try. Plus, theoretically , one could logically presume THARGOID sensors might be able to detect ________ better ( or differently ) than our paltry human technology.
Furthermore, from a basic game code design perspective, it's possible there could be some set of parameters necessary that goes beyond just merely stumbling upon X random planet or whatever.

Again, when did I say you couldn't or shouldn't search for it? I only shared MY opinion on this after years of searching. If you disagree with it it's fine, if you don't like it it's really your problem, not mine. This is a topic for discussing matters related to Raxxla, not a cult where only true believers are allowed to post lol.
So just because YOU never found anything during your apparent "years of searching" then automatically it doesn't exist?!
See that's why i'm more interested in data, determination, & diagnosis than i am of some pessimist's "opinion". But hey that's me.
It certainly is fine, yep.
lol all of a sudden it's a "problem" to disagree with "Zimous opinion" , eh?
Wow.
The title of the thread is actually: The QUEST to FIND Raxxla
Based strictly on your recent posts , it just doesn't seem like you're interested in the topic so much as invested in being a forum contrarian for contrarian's sake.
Who's preventing you from posting?
Yes, that's exactly my opinion bro, but I'm not telling anyone what to believe in, keep your pants down. It's only MY opinion as I pointed out multiple times, no need to get triggered by it lol.
You literary told me what I should or shouldn't post in your first reply to me. But I think enough stupidity for one day, enjoy your search bro, let us know when you find Raxxla...Who's preventing you from posting?
That's fair. I used to think if Raxxla was in the game it would just end up a tourist beacon somewhere.
many thanks for confirming this - I've been in this location a hundred times but I've no journal access on console so didnt realise it still counted as the comet SOI.
For everyone - I've noticed something weird. When I started, there was no shipping lane inside the ring. Beyond the SOI's of the stations, it was "deep space". Then there was a 50km shipping lane. I assumed deliberate, to obfuscate the comet SOI. But the next time I checked the shipping lane was 60km, then 100km. Now, for me at least, there is no deep space at all. The whole of the pareco station ring is encased in an 80Ls sphere of "shipping lane". My assumption is that honking makes the shipping lane bigger. But other than that i can't fall out of the instance, and the stations no longer rush away from me, I'm not sure what this actually achieves. Any ideas?
