It's Col70 man, your ideas are cool but we know there's a lot of Ammonia planets everywhere, and we know the probes point to Col70. It's Col70.
I know how to find the Thargoid Homeworld (and it only took me a week)

Well I didn't do badly considering I was relying solely on my memory & stuff that I learnt at school over 31yrs ago!
Sounds to me like someone knows how they like to play the game and gets on with that...... rep that.
And again!
Some for you because I'm a total Rush fan, have been most of my life.
Yeah those Col 70 sector locks. How I would love to get into some of those systems.I like to explore....

Colonia is 22LY away and it's not exactly 'buzzing' with CMDRs.
Despite the procedural wizardry of the stellar forge, in order to make it a place worth going to, designers and devs need to get in there and spend some time making some stuff for us to see - e.g. surface bases etc - so why would FD go to all the effort of seeding a new galaxy for presumably even fewer CMDRs to experience? Doesn't make any financial, or game, sense to do it for such a tiny return.
And we really don't need another galaxy. It's going to take us tens of thousands of years to discover all of the one we currently have!
FD confirmed Raxxla was real and it existed and was out there ready to be discovered, only issue we all have is that they will not give clues to where it is, only that it is hidden in deep space. Many commanders like myself for many years have been hunting for Raxxla.
Raxxla. A planet. A legend . on Raxxla there's an alien construct that's a gateway to other Universes, and all that's in those Universes in the way of bounty, and treasures, and aliens, and life .......
The only lore reference to Raxxla is contained in the original Elite novella ‘The Dark Wheel’ by the late great Robert Holdstock and clearly he makes reference to Raxxla that is a gateway to other Galaxies.
As for the comment, "we really don't need another galaxy", actually we explorers wouldn't mind it thank you very much.

No, FFE galaxy was presented from the opposite point of the galactic plane. If we assume ED galaxy map is viewed from above the galactic plane, then FFE was from below. Try turning the FFE map so it aligns with ED map. Put SOL in the middle and Polaris on your left hand, as in ED. Where are the Pleiades now? Below SOL? No, they're above SOL. So you need to mirror the old map to get the right layout.
Edit: actually it's easier to manipulate the galaxy map of ED.
Here are some screenies:
ED galaxy viewed from below the galacting plane (i.e. looking up instead of default down):
And FFE map measurements in GeoGebra:

Not to mention Salome jumped in to Col 70 sector, she saw them in a staging area and had to flee coz they were gonna get her
Can't realy be done. The FE2/FFE galaxy is twisted, skewd and flatened.. the entire galaxy is probably 25ly in height.
Confirmed - it's real, it's atmospheric and thus cannot be landed upon at this time.
It's also located.. oh, that's right, I can't say where.. but when it's time for it to be found, it will. I'd wager at least half the people looking for it have flown right past it many times.
It's 2D, true, and this is why in 3D space, in order to plot the 1200 ly long, 14 degrees segment going out of SOL to MIACKCE, you need to establish a plane upon which SOL and POLARIS reside. But it takes three points to make a plane. So it can be done. Within a considerable margin of error. Not that I expect to find anything there. At least, not yet.
I assumed somewhat arbitrarily, for the time being and the sake of verification, PLEIONE as the third vertex, and the segment ends in the vicinity of WREDGUIA NB-L B9-0.

Very considerable
Distance Sol-Polaris was 607 ly, now is 432.5 ly. So at the very least that large.It is sort of a flat projection into the galactic plane and rotated about 210 deg, compared to the ED coordinate system.
Sothis should be in the approximate direction. If we trust the directions, that is.
If we do, we can expect distances up to 50% more than in FFE.
I have a strong feeling Miacke is Red Rectangle just beside barnards loop Its kind of in the right place and is named
Very considerable
Ouch! Yeah, so could still be 1000s of systems are candidates!
If some of the theories flying around about the very nature of witchspace are accurate - then that could be the galaxy to which Raxxla is a gateway. Like the 'upside down' in Stranger Things, except where distances are not 1:1, hence why you hop across to it in order to travel long distances in our galaxy.
Huh that's awesome! Thanks for sorting that. Interestingly when I first looking into this I thought it was that way round then someone else told me it was flattened and stars were moved and that seemed to make sense. I think it's worth noting though that Fdev have altered a lot of stars and a lot of latter-part of the Thargoid story for ED. Several important starts and locations from FFE are missing and/or moved.

Or sometimes it is just our salt of not being find things in afternoon while in real life such search even with Elite tech would take years.
If this is correct that would put it up between praesepe and x cancri which is near above barnards in that direction from polaris in the ngc 2632 region
My bets are still on ngc 2286 c 42 since the moved everything bar this one system (which holds the same star type and nearly same bodies as miackce) to the edge of known space and permit locked them which also happens to be the end of the line of permit locks from col 70
