Maybe you'll find some guardian ruins!
Right and if I was an explorer back in early Elite days say the universe in game was real life . Thats the first place I would convice people of rumors and things and set explorers on their way. Because its something that can be observed and exist and its a destination. But i'll see what else might be there once I get there. Thats gonna be a bit of a travel lol. Currently I am half way between the booze cruise path and the bubble. After that I am heading back down a bit and heading to (typo correction) - AH Cancri 1. EX Cancri 2. AH Cancri 3.There are more mysteries in the game than Raxxla. Piracy is an actual in game thing, with a giant black market concept attached to it. People have tried to "unlock Raxxla" via black market access, and it's even possible there is more than one way to get to Raxxla (it would actually not shock me at all). That being said, a pirate base in the middle of nowhere with almost no chance for actual loot makes only so much sense.
Also, Skull and Crossbones Nebula is a real object, and is where it is because that's where it sits IRL:

I wouldn't call it a futile search, I know exactly what I'm looking for, it is a 'tiny bit obvious' and in front of everyone's face in the descriptions written by FDev in the game. It involves no mythology, or supposedly favorite books, or possible tattoos or standing on your head drawing lines between systems.
I dont know I only been there once and had to cut it short due to the first thargoid intercepter encounters happening at the time.
Oh, but that's taking all the fun out of this!
In what is probably a futile search, i've been going back to the beginning of this continuous @Macros Black thread reading each & every post ( in order ) . Still baffles the mind how, after 10+ years, nothing significant ( provable/repeatable ) has been either found nor shared yet. Regardless, all of these posts within page 15---> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-to-find-raxxla.168253/page-15 ...are very interesting to me.
And on the following page, Drew, most importantly is shooting down basically all people coming in with various out-of-the-game references to Raxxla.
The Quest To Find Raxxla
Another thing worth of note is that, for a few centuries, Raxxla was orbiting the moon of Lave 2 which, incidentally, appears to be permit-locked right now. It's a fact that the Pilots Federation entirely controls the permit system, and even have its own internal closed circles : The Circle of...
In other words, ignore what you think Raxxla may be. Follow the codex, or the original missions and apparent Miltonian references.
I plan to actually try to do this "by the book" so to speak. I will visit the various involved checkpoints in search for clues. I strongly believe that you'll not find Raxxla without it. It's not because it's locked behind some weird in-game mechanism, but because the journey is meant to teach you how to find it.
Hence, I'm not going to rush to NGC 7822 - as much as it sounds very appealing right now. I think visiting the waypoints is an absolute key thing to do and identifying specific cues is critical. I suspect the very last leg will require all this knowledge in order to reach Raxxla.
Thats what I been doing. Kinda why i Ibookmark specific locations and visit them.And on the following page, Drew, most importantly is shooting down basically all people coming in with various out-of-the-game references to Raxxla.

My journey seems to be visiting lines of clusters that wrap around the galaxy itself kinda like a gyroscope I have made a loop around the galaxy 3 times now and each loop gets further and further away from anything. But they always lead back to the bubble each pass. Currently on loop 4 which will take me to the most outer edges. I used the Thargoid Map room to find the cluster lines.

Interesting, I thought "D Velorum" was a one off. Turns out there is more of those.
Edit: do you happen to know what they are in boxel names? I only have one "AH CANCRI". Also, what version are you in? Maybe that got fixed in Odyssey?

This is my current position atm. Also weird but i am in the current build of OD. Had to make sure I wasn't in a test server. AH EX And the second AH are ina line angled. I just used the search bar to find them cause they were in a path I was following from AX Cancri which is my 4th path I been taking. I was looking into the Constellation Cancer which lead me to these places.
Little dissapointed 55 cancri isn't in the game cause it would have been neat to see a gas giant sized super earth. But maybe something like that still is.

There are definitely more of those duplicates. "A Velorum", "B Velorum", "C Velorum" are also duped (at least for me). Also "C Puppis", "E Centauri". I'm sure there is more. But "AH Cancri" seems right on my map, which is weird - generally those bugs are for everyone.
Also there is a system called "H " - just H and space, no actual constellation name.
Hmm that is very odd. I never noticed it duplicating like that until recently. Kinda why I went exploring them. It's not like the game is lieing . I go to them it says its the system and it can be cross checked. I know space telescopes and cosmic alignment simulators can dublicate things when cataloging. Maybe they dumped that type of duplicated data into the starforge and it just did what was given to it. I honestly dont know. What I am following can be mapped by the stars in cancer. Thats all I know. Allot of them can be seen by sol, delphi, and that other system I was in cataloging space cloud faces just at different perspectives.
H is interesting. It can sometimes be skipped and forgotten cause its on one of the neutron star paths to colonia.
I think this is either a software bug where there are hash collisions on the system index, or typos in the data entry. Based on the fact that there appear to be cases of this being reproducible between players, and specific to a person, I suspect there are at least two of those problems at the same time. I never really put much weight into that, because if you're talking about a database of 100 billion entries, some fraction of them is bound to be wrong, particularly if there is a significant amount of manual effort involved.
I'm fairly sure that "H " is just a typo of someone at FDEV hitting enter too fast.

For some reason, you didn't quote my post but you referenced my exact quoted words? Anyways, for the record, when i said "PROBABLY a futile search" before, i was meaning my own personal search thru this entire forum thread. ( trying to find clues within 10 years worth of PRIOR posts , from players----or Devs---long gone/forgotten )
i certainly don't think The Search for RAXXLA is "futile" . Someone soon has to find something! Right?
You've been saying that for months/years now ( re: post-history ) , yet you never seem to include any screenshots nor details. How come?
Wouldn't things ( odds ) go better if searched as a collective group effort?
The ultimate discovery "credit" , as it were, is still gonna be dispersed amongst all 2000 pages of this thread + all 10 years worth of Elite Dangerous search pilots anyway, no?
Ever since i had my very 1st encounter back in November--> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...-target-systems.612125/page-327#post-10491608 with that ^ particular map room , i've been wondering if perhaps it was some small ( or big? ) piece to the RAXXLA puzzle....
I think people have different style in how they look for this and that's mostly fine. I don't believe in this being a lone wolf effort, but I'll be happy if someone proves me wrong. That being said, a very basic danger of any lone wolf effort is that one may spend a very large amount of time on something easily refuted by other folks. And if they have fun doing that, that's still OK since this is a game. Hopefully nothing being done here is going to cause any actual harm. Yes, it may go faster in a group, but not everyone can deal with group dynamics and sometimes people want a break from things like that.
If I understand correctly, mach10 is traveling to various pulsars, and possibly other bodies of interest. I don't personally believe this is some key to Raxxla, but it's definitely a fun experience anyway. They could have called it "the Pulsar Quest", not mentioned anything about Raxxla, and the effect would be about the same (perhaps they would have faced less hostility). There was someone who circumnavigated the galaxy. Someone I believe completed the discovery codex (as in all sectors). Those are all fine endeavors. Heck even visiting all stars of a specific constellation is an experience as often times there are outliers thousands if not tens of thousands LY out, and many constellations have ~100 systems. Funnily at some point I wanted to visit all Cancri systems (just cause why not), and I think I still have a spreadsheet with the ones I still have to visit. I still have a few bookmarks from Capricorni from our latest burst of activity with Drakkster. It is just way too boring for me, honestly - many very generic systems with absolutely nothing in it and a LOT of travel in between. Boxel surveys are less monotonous since you find some bios, land on planets, and so on.
Not everyone wants this to be some big lore story. Some people WANT this to be one and done point of interest. Based on what we've been told, I don't think that's the case, but then nobody has ever proven anything about this one way or another so the jury is still out. The game is a sandbox, and people should be free to play it their way.

I think it is. But is something huge to explore. Cause you cant just randomly do it all at once. It is the milkyway but I still think a shadow version of it. but the spirals lineup with ours so I took that as a guideline and have just been following them from the center to the outer edges. The big issue is The cobra engine and our galmap. It doesnt render everything all at once when looking at something so you have to fiddle with it to make it render something thats prob right infront of your face. But the map is def showing clusters that form a line. Then you have isolated clusters that cannot be traveled. That kinda throws people off. Both pathes pass through col70 and get cutoff and makes it very frustrating. Whats at the end of it all. I don't know will tell you when I get there., I been at this for 5 1/2 years now. It's allot of space to cover lol.For some reason, you didn't quote my post but you referenced my exact quoted words?

I like what you said. I play it to have fun and do something I cannot do irl.
Well, as you can see in my post, i was merely asking the CMDR some questions , not so much out of "hostility" but more so out of sheer curiosity.
That being said, as a general (unwritten) rule on the interwebs ( or any society really ) coming into a thread with vague dangling teaser posts riddled mostly in arrogance, condescension, & obfuscation ( repeatedly ) typically doesn't do much to garner positive belief nor community support lol
Of course. No one is questioning that ^. Certainly not i.
But if say i were truly onto something legit & solid ( with RAXXLA ) , and i absolutely knew it 99.9% was correct on-track, i just wouldn't come posting anything in public forums at all UNTIL i actually had the shareable proof, data, steps-to-reproduce, etc. for to assist the proverbial greater good.
Which is why, and this is gonna probably be "controversial" to say this but...well... imo , Fleet Carrier jump-range should be increased to 1000 LYs. Heck, if an Anaconda & new Mandalay can almost reach 100, not including neutron-boosting, then FC's doing mere 500 seems rather paltry by comparison. But i digress here semi-off-topic sorry...
( re: *not even 5% of known game universe has been explored yet, after 10 years!!!
)This leapt out at me while I was researching NGC 7822 last night. It probably is an error but still, it's worth noting.
