4th is CQC.



It's The Raxxla. Only the best can get there.



And what about Founders World?

Well, for Founder's World, you have to be Elite in combat to get the permit. Maybe Raxxla will be the same way, but why would you need to be Elite at CQC? And if you are an Elite combateer, what does Exploration and Trading have to do with finding and going to Raxxla?
 
I guess I'm late to the party, but here are my suggestions:

1)Do not even try to find/get to the Raxxla/Formasomething Rift, without four Elite ranks. ;)

2)Is there any mechanics that checks for the required cargo and allows you to get in closed locations?
AFAIK this only works with ranks.

But perhaps it is too obvious.

as others said, CQC wasn't around from the start, and is technically it's own stand alone thing and according to the devs has no distinct impact on the main game, aside from one of the ways of getting the permit to Shinrarta Dezhra.

actually, unless something changed it's reaching elite in combat, trade, exploration, or cqc
 
Once more I'm way to busy to read any posts but I need a log so I'm letting the internets know the quest for Maia's twin continues.
I'm on the other side of Bernard's Loop now, following the waypoints marked on my chart with about 1500LY from my final position. Only problem is, I've been so under the weather that I no longer remember the specifics of how the chart was constructed and am also certain the last jump is not actually the target star.

This should have taken me 9 hours yet it's taken more than two weeks. :eek:
 
Postcards from Phi Cassiopeiae...

Its lonely out here, but what a system!

Main star is has a solar radius of 247.2726. Dropped in 1400ls from it...

If anyone is in the region, please feel free to add me. The edge of the rift must be explored!

It has been stated that it is not linked to rank:

Edit: Yes this post is about the Formidine rift, but that's where it is supposed to be if I recall correctly.

Only our own collective hysteria links Raxxla to the Formidine Rift. Personally, that means a certain author would know where Raxxla is, and I seriously doubt that's the case. I'd be surprised if anyone other than DBOBE and MB know where Raxxla is - because the risk of a 'leak' is just too great.

So whatever it is on the other side of the Formidine Rift, it ain't Raxxla. I'm guessing it's still something cool though.

Well since I dont think im going to get out there any time soon...

Here is my current thinking:

The Reorte/Riedquat line is a general direction pointing you to the right area of the Edge

In the message left by the "old woman" she says: "You'll find the co-ordinates at the end of this message."

and at the end of the message is: "Good luck, and ... right on, Commander."

Drew also gave a hint of ED, P ... which turned out to be Rot13 (Caesar Cipher) of RO, C (right on, Commander)

coincidence ?

I suspect that RO, C was the coordinates ... so we would be looking for systems at the edge along the line that have RO-C in them

And there are atleast three that fit that bill.


I humbly suggest you check these out on your journey :) Good Luck !
HYPIAE AIM RO-C B40-0
HYPIAE AIM RO-C B41-0
HYPIAE AIM RO-C B54-0

Interesting stuff Sim.

I seem to remember Drew posting some code that lead to the number 26. This was a hint to the number of letters in the alphabet, leading to the ROT13 cipher.

If Drew is implying base 26 alpha numerals, it could be that the entire sentence "Good luck, and ... right on, Commander." are coordinates? It looks a bit funny with the two commas in one sentence.

I don't know if there is a sensible way to convert this three part sentence in to three coordinates, It just looks like it.
The 'and ... right on' part could also mean that the Y coordinate is the same as for Riedquat and Reorte.

Edit: The number hint on Drew's page was: 1,26,13. This meant basically first number=1, total numbers=26 and Rot value=13

For Founder's World you need to be Elite in any category.

Okay, maybe CQC is not necessary, since it was added later.

And if you are an Elite combateer, what does Exploration and Trading have to do with finding and going to Raxxla?

Wiki:
As the legend goes, on Raxxla there are alien structures which serve as gateways to other universes. Legend also says that long ago, a corps of The Dark Wheel discovered its location and lived there, exploiting the gateways for all the wealth and riches the other universes could provide.
Gateways are good for Exploration and Trading, so what does Combat have to do with finding and going to Raxxla? :)
 
I think there three disconnected mysteries in this game, that Frontier want us to solve largely by ourselves

Raxxla - Which I think is link somehow to the Sap 8 core container
Forminide Rift - If it wasn't in before I believe it certain Frontier have added since launch
UA, Barnacles, Meta alloys - This all building up to a new alien species being introduced to the Frontier universe.

Then the one they will be providing clues and trails for us to follow:

The Missing - This may eventually lead to Thargoids or a conspiracy of some sort than expands both the Federation and the Empire. But I believe it mainly here to provides lot of mini stories over the next year.

im out on the rift, id suggest continuing investigations, Lord Zoltan is trying to discourage everyone from taking a look, thats enough motivation for me to rally those that think its out there to begin mapping in earnest, all are welcome to join us at sirius inc as we are co ordinating a large scale search out that way

Founders world could be a key requirement to id raxxla or other interesting bodies

I would expect that the custodians of Raxxla, if any, won't care about rank. They'll just want you dead.
 
Guys, I could do with a hand. Its a formiddible job.

There are a LOT of Phrio Phoe RO-C systems out here!

Add me (Gypsy12) and I can keep you updated on where I've been.

Cheers.

Ollobrains, no. Lord Zoltan knows nothing, and if it helps, he's actually planning a trip out to the rift himself. Please quote the exact text and source the article where LZ said not to explore the formidine rift, or else I'm going to report you for baiting. Consider this your fair warning, Mr. Brains.

I'm giving you 24 hours to cite the source of your claim before I ask mods to remove your posts. You've been a huge troll in this community for ages, everyone knows that.

To calm you guys down,
AveME has Elite in Exploring.

Apart from that, Drew stated that ranks do not matter in finding Raxxla.
If that would be the case there would be a system out there that states: (... System Permit Required).
But only for me and not for AveMe and that would be way to obvious.
Also he stated that you need Wanderlust, and that is what all explorers must have out there.
On the same topic, one of the devs (I think it was even Braben himself) stated that if we get into THAT system we will know it....

So we will get out there and take a look at systems. Even if we don't find Raxxla or Thargs, we still get some decent exploration done.
Try and Error, guys!

this. and i think you only have wanderlust if you enjoy a nice scenery. and thats what you got when you at the rift and look at the galaxy and couple of nebulas. so its not like we have to follow the r-r line like theseus had to follow the thread to escape the maze. its literally just a guideline.


btw one of the systems from my list has an earth like. you cannot make this up... :D
 
Being allied to the Dark Wheel faction could be a good place to start ("Whether it is found or not depends entirely on who goes looking").

Being allied with the dark wheel could very well unlock a mission that points you to the Drew Egg ...when Kahina disappeared there was a Dark Wheel medallion conspicuously left behind I seem to remember. I wouldn't be surprised if instead of earning a permit after getting special ally status... U get a special long range mission.
