Thanks. Scouring that part of the forum for some info. Still don't have nothing, but if it's there I'll find it!

Found a ringed ELW in a black hole system, although not sure that counts, and not even interesting for now, since we can't land on it.

2016 should be a good year to hate me in. :)

Think I love you now :)
 
Hi. I've been looking for Raxxla for some time now. I new about this thread, but didn't really follow it as it seems that the only hint being followed was those missions in the OP, which you can only get on Elite.

The original missions seems to have stopped for me, I tried this weekend to coax some of the Missions from another 'fresh' system, but with no success. I fear they (the original missions) has disappeared altogether.

As I believe FD wouldn't have placed something in the game and then locked it to a select few, I started looking at other approaches, which by the way all failed (or are yet inconclusive). I'll post them here just in case someone can finally kill my theories and I can rest in peace, help them move them forward, or at least give another approach and discussion to this search...

Any and all constructive inputs like yours are most welcome (I sure hope FD locked it to the Elite rank(s)) :)

"Parents tell their offspring the story of a ghost planet, beyond witchspace, lost in the void" - Second sentence burnt into my brain... (found again on the same link as before). Here I get to understand that Raxxla might be a rogue planet, maybe without a sun, and thus unreachable through normal means. This didn't get me to any system, but it brought me to think that Raxxla might not be a simple planet that we will find happily sitting there in the system map for us to scan so easy. My guess here is that it might be discover-able in a way similar to the ancient probes found in Sol, by flying out there and they'd pop up at some point. This would make the search very difficult, and would force to find first the correct system from which to search, and as thus I see this as improbable.

Researching on rogue planets, I did see that those that have been discovered have been cataloged initially as "Sub-brown dwarfs", and I'm in the process of studying them now better and might follow now this approach. Although with the utter mind blowing success I had with the elder stars, this might just as well prove to be another loss of time

Searching the exploration forum for rogue planet gave few hits, but nothing concrete.

The other thing I tried once I was bored of chasing old stars and from the solitude beyond the frontier was to re-read "The Dark Wheel", which is in fact considered official lore (at least I think so). There isn't much on Raxxla there, apart from it being the main drive of the main character and his father. So I set off to follow the steps of Alex Ryder. I ignored Leesti and Lave, and jumped directly to Tionisla. In the book, there is a graveyard here between the planet and the sun. Now, I didn't expect to find the graveyard here, but I did search the asteroid fields between planet and star for something "different"... I tried as well to find Rafe's ship, but no dice.

Well, finding the graveyard in Tionisla would be awesome, as a lead should be there.

I continued to follow Alex Ryder's steps until I hit a permit system, which I hadn't access to. Investigating a bit, I found out that others had tried to get access to this system, but even with a permit in hand, the system remained locked by the dev's for future content probably. I finally gave up on this approach as well...

Got permits to most systems, but not for Isinor.

And now, I just found out of the mysterious Lady Kahina forum thread, which I'm going to follow closely.

Apparently, she's currently looking for female librarians...

I have really been very interested in Raxxla since I found about it, but at the moment the elusive leads are getting a bit frustrating. I just really hope that it's not locked only to Elite commanders, as that would be a great bummer. I'm not that far from Elite myself in exploration, but even so, it's still a brutal grind to get there.

Just requires determination & time, that's all :)

If anybody has any further ideas on how to proceed with the search, I'm more than willing to keep on it and to help with any attempt. I hope as well that my points and failed tries above mentioned can maybe help start other discussions and other means of approach that are not only locked to Elite commanders.

Indeed.

I'm a member of the Children of Raxxla, but there have been few attempts to search for Raxxla there at the moment.

I suspected as much, but there's a surprising number of CoR members signed up for the Distant Worlds expedition, so who knows?

Mind you, "Raxxla - The definitive guide" by Drew Wagar to which I link in this post is not considered official lore (or at least that I know of). But as there is not much on the topic, they might have very well adapted parts of it,
but is just speculation...

As someone commented in this thread, "luck" defines the whole search for Raxxla in one word, can't quite remember who it was, but it rimed on Lung Yu...

Edit: Knew I could count on Futuristic Kung Fu :)

Thanks for taking the time to go through all my points!!!

Indeed, Isinor is the system I couldn't access. I'm not sure though if it is still locked.


Thanks to Futuristic Kung Fu, I now retook my search. Starting in the forums, but as you said, nothing conclusive found yet on rogue or star-less planets...
 
I don't think Raxxla is an actual planet. "Place that isn't a place..."

The whole deal with those data crystals seems to be some sort of treasure hunt, and you usually do those when you're trying to find something small (not of planet sized proportions). Perhaps a certain something that you can actually cargo scoop ?

"...door that is also the key."

There are two things currently in game that could metaphorically be considered as a "door". The first and most obvious choice is a permit access to a locked system. However, one could argue that a space station's entry could also be characterized as a doorway or passage. Assuming there's a direct connection between Raxxla and the UA's, we should take note of their strong resemblance to the Ocellus starports. FDev after all did say that they (UA's) serve a bigger role and the clues concerning that are beyond obvious.

My take on it is that you need to have a special item in your cargo hold that once you have it delivered somewhere, grants you access to a remove location. There, you might be able to physically enter Witch space. And who Knows, maybe the exit door that gets you back to inhabited space, is in the Merope system itself ;)

To summarize RAXXLA in one word of our language:
Paradoxon.

You need belief to find it, and find the strength to venture there.
You can not pass RAXXLA without belief, for you will lack the door to open.

Hoped for the same "teleport" effect when transporting an UA to Jaques station at Gliese 1269 (He's still there), but alas, no teleporting occurred. It would be really cool though to have the key and upon entering a station, perhaps a special one?, you would be teleported to Raxxla...

I haven't seen any links between Raxxla, the UA's, the Meta-Alloys, or any combination thereof.

Whatever it is, it's in-game, we just need to find it. Clues are what we are missing the most though, and I'm completely certain that they are there, just not found yet.

I've read that Raxxla is a planet with an alien construct on it, which is at the same time the gateway to another galaxy. Oh, and people probably live there too! Although I've also heard that they lost it. How do you loose a planet???

What I'm mostly curious is what will happen the day someone finds it. Does FD have another galaxy in their pocket? Older games had several galaxies on them, so it's not that far fetched...

They've pretty much confirmed that there will only be one Galaxy.
 
Why though? What's the point?

I don't know.
It could be to foreshadow stuff, or just additional input
grabbed from astrology cataclogues they used to generate the galaxy and
create a complete skybox while in SC.

I demand more rep to spread at will,
focus the butter on the bread!!!
