The Quest To Find Raxxla

[Tifu]

I'm taking a break from Raxxla hunting for a while, since there's no fresh leads or new information at the moment. But IF we can actually find Raxxla ingame (which I have my doubts) the map to it lies on the Codex and the Dark Wheel toast and won't be found with just luck or brute force.

Wholeheartedly agree with this, unless the clues in the Codex and the toast are decoded to the point where we're sure about the area where either Raaxla or the Dark Wheel may be located, then it's not a good use of our time to continue.

Re: brute force, the ongoing CG is probably the best way to implement this kind of search. Can't think of a better way to do it.

I think the ongoing CG is mainly for bio folks (like me). You rack up silly #s and credits by jumping into systems, FSSing everything, finding bioplanets without first footfall and cashing in. This is best done ~500 LY out of the bubble.

53 Aquarii is good. But have you been to AE Aquarii. That one has a very unique star that has no other in the game due to a bug . They fixed it. people complained about it being fixed so they rebroke it again. Its a sight to behold. I also just realize all the Aquarii systems have something Unique about them. Wonder if that was intentional.

Visited. Yes, it's a rather "blinding" entrance.

Separately, in a similar manner, many Centauri systems are weird with black holes and neutron stars.

Even if we missed a spot, there's the Great Raxxla Hunt, the current CG and the upcoming colonization. So I'd think it's a waste of time to continue trying to brute force it.

I strongly recommend visiting 53 Aquarii if you've never been there. Sight to behold.

I think the interesting thing about 53 Aquarii is you drop out to 53 Aquarii C and not by the fuel stars.

I got a handful of systems to check still then i think i'll give it a break. I pretty much been everywhere up and down the middle and edges of the bubble. If its to be found it has to be found on fdev's time. Not randomly finding it or it would have been found around the area by now. It's been 10 years. If it's witches reach its permit locked. It has a human presence. It says it has zero population. It's controlled by the federation. It has no stations. outpost. Anything. If you want my guess if Raxxla was in the bubble. it'll be there. We just aren't allowed to go play in it yet. So I'll do my final scans. Final system sweeps. And I am having a brandy after all this.

Personally I think we may be overthinking the reasons on why we can't find either one (Raaxla, Dark Wheel). I do believe it's accessible to even the newest player and that some quirk in the way our ship detection systems work makes it easy for us to overlook clues or signs.

But I do agree we all need a break at this point

Because it's the largest mass. From my hyperspace technology notes:

3297-present day “Type 3” “Frame Shift” technology introduced, based in Antares drive. Typical range 7-60 ly, extendable by rare material injection and supercharging. autonomous mechanism aboard ship. Navigational refinement is poor with exit coordinates determined by significant mass in destination system. Transit time <1 minute. These drives required large amounts of element Tantalum in manufacture, causing some unrest due to land grabs (i.e. Reclamation novel). By 3300 had virtually replaced Type 2b technology, with the loss of a number of ship classes that could not be retrofitted with type 3 due to design constraints. Range increases changed tactical military deployment capabilities.

ok makes sense. ty

ok. I went to 53 Aquarii to sell something cause my fleet carrier is nearby. I was checking the map to plot a course to another system and noticed something. Typically if your ina system and have the galmap open you can see the stars in the system. Umm It shows the 3 stars but I noticed a faint almost phazed out star. Is it a glitch or is it Star C. I'm a little confused. Normally all stars render for me. Never had this happen before. It's like a ghost star. I took a pic of it. It's to the right of the cluster.

Taking a break from scanning random worthless bodies, I visited Beta Muscae, which is ~100LY out of the bubble, a system with a B2, a black hole, a neutron star, and a collection of assorted pink bodies. I wanted to try some ideas with having your FSD charged and doing things with black holes, but nothing really came out of that (assuming the toast would be something like "a white star, a neutron star, a black hole", ???... - well Beta Muscae has it all. Also tried recording things through the black hole - I believe black hole affects what you can hear, but as far as I can tell mostly makes it worse - I haven't found any way to use them to make it better.

I'm not sure that's because of the Star being C. HIP 3213 has only C5 (basically same as 53 Aquarii but no other stars), and shows up the same for me on galmap out of system as 53 Aquarii. I would assume that this means what shows up in the middle is the C5, and the other two are the G1 and G5.

I wonder if it has issues rendering large stars that are in a bunch. I only noticed it cause my jump range was set to minimum and i was looking at the travel trade lanes.

'Tis so hard to stop searching though ...

Taking a break from scanning random worthless bodies,

... and today, case-in-point, something weird happened: After activating the new 'Community Goal' at the megaship, i was just jumping systems about 300 LYs away from HIP 90578 system using the 'economic' ( slow ) mode , just cuz i was hoping to find maybe one totally undiscovered system nearby to scan for bigger payday turn-in on my way back to megaship, but unfortunately i never found any. HOWEVER , what i did find was something weird...

Basically, i entered a "random" Pegasi system with 1 red dwarf star with nothing else but a ton of undiscovered-signal-sources ( mostly 'debris fields' ) and so i just decided to go into FSS mode out of sheer boredom/curiosity. While inside the FSS mode screen, i moved my circle-reticle thingy over across the invisible 'orbital plane' ( no actual line, since no planets ) and eventually after zoom-scanning around 20 debris fields signals , i came across a RED dot/orb signal and when my circle-reticle hovered over it i literally could hear HUMAN VOICES with STATIC ( almost like long-gone remnant pilots in distress ) but it was hard to make out exactly what they were saying or talking about. But i'm 100% positive it was human voices, sorta static & garbled , sounding like they were talking about "finding something" or just in some type of distress i dunno.

So, i accidentally exit out of the FSS mode ( misclick on joystick ) and when i re-entered FSS mode again i couldn't find that RED signal anymore. - i really wish i had recorded it in the moment UGH!!!

Then, after popping out of the FSS mode again ( on purpose ) i noticed on my upper left 'panel 2' comms this very weird SYSTEM message/dialog....

..... where as you can see there ^ it shows someone named "THE FIRST MAN" , with a very odd phrase proclamation quote "Careful, Mr. Lev, you don't want to end up with the rest of the sinners!" ----- ???? Maybe an old secret Dark Wheel person???

Anyways, it's probably nothing or something common that a relative newb one-year player like myself just hasn't ever seen or noticed before , but just in case i figured it couldn't hurt to post it here in the RAXXLA thread for the community to analyze ( or explain ) . o7

Messages shown in "SYSTEM" are from other players. So "THE FIRST MAN" is just another Commander writing in system chat.

bummer ... What about the RADIO human voices i heard while in FSS mode though?

Not sure what you mean, but I hear human voices in a lot of signals, normally associated to human settlements, stations or the sort closeby.

 

[Neestar]

Not sure what you mean,

i mean exactly what i stated in my above post ^^ which you quoted in your above reply. ( so therefore i presumed you read it )

but I hear human voices in a lot of signals, normally associated to human settlements, stations or the sort closeby.

As i mentioned in my above post ^^ , there weren't ANY "settlements" nor "stations" nor "the sort" anywhere closeby. ( since, no planets )

Having read what your post doesn't mean I can understand what you are referring to. Without you providing some screenshots so we could see where you were pointing exactly not alot we can do with it. It's likely there was something in that direction, even a fleet carrier would give out human voices, but like I said without knowing exactly where you were pointing to no way to know what it was.

Perhaps try and replicate it? If you can't it's likely nothing.
