Hi Spock
can you give me the details please & I’ll add them to my LP/UCB summary.

I forgot to take any screenshots whilst at the crash site, but here are the screenshots I have of the messages:

Listening post A (Col 359 Sector KB-W d2-47)

Listening post B (Col 359 Sector TV-J b11-4)

Listening post C (Praea Euq NN-S b4-0)

The two logs at the crash site on HR 6051 2F.

As I said, the ID on the crashed ship was MD-02. There were some manufactured materials about the place and a data point, but no cargo racks. There was a wrecked SRV at the site, but with no signal of it's own, and right under the nose of the Conda. I did eventually find a small amount of wreckage some way off in the mountains, but there was nothing selectable there, just some shards of metal in the ground. I don't know if there are still logs to find, but if they are, they're not well signposted, and there was no signal from them when mapping the planet.

Additionally, it suffered from the bug where the game claimed it was a guardian signal whilst on the ground.

Is the "To the whisperer in witch-space, the siren of the deepest void!" part of the Raxxla codex entry something that was known beforehand? Because it sounds new to me and... it also sounds an awful lot like what is described in the messages left on Formidine Rift alpha site:

- "Could have sworn i heard some weird voices in the last jump" (message 2/6).
- "A siren song" (message 5/6).

Has it already been investigated/dismissed? I'm currently heading straight to the Zurara from FR delta site, after which i plan to go as far as i can into the void, following the Riedquat-Reorte axis
Should i look for something in particular while in the region? (i play by tiny bits on an irregular schedule)

Notes:

- i made sure i was allied with the Dark Wheel before i left the bubble, just in case some mission would pop up later.
- i'm currently flying on a multirole Conda equipped for exploration/mining with only a 50+Ly range, so i may not be able to access everything.

Thanks in advance :)

I'm going to that system now, and try to jump in from every system. Let's see if there is anything out of the ordinairy in witchspace.

Thanks, will update LP sheet later.
Think that bug will be around until the next update.

There is something goin on in witch-space. These reports, Jacques miss jump, Halsey’s accident and the Antares story, all have common components.

Strange sounds or vissions in hyper-space and drive fail.
 
I'm at the Alpa Site now, there is a Sidewinder circling the site, NPC, Edward Macnaghten. Don't know if that's new or not. Never been here before.

Edit: probably not new. One of the logs spoke of '..and that ship'.

I saw two ships over the FR sites, an Orca over Alpha and a Krait (not sure?) over Gamma when i was there yesterday. Hung around for a moment but didn't know exactly what to look for, so i decided to be on my way. I've altered my route a bit after re-reading the codex and won't go straight to the Zurara. The "jewel burning on the brow of the mother of galaxies" piqued my interest, so i've bookmarked a few very bright stars in the galaxy map around the Formidine Rift (the ones that can leave a distinct glow even when you filter out all star types). I've also set my route to include mostly M and T-Tauri stars (in case the illustration for the Dark Wheel codex entry is any clue, although in all fairness the DW station might not be orbiting the primary star of its system), and blue ones (O, B, A, Wolf-Rayet, White Dwarf, Neutron), because well, they look cool and i find they often have interesting/varied stuff around them exploration-wise.

I'll tell you if i stumble upon anything special. I'll be slow, i don't play much these days.
 
The Ikigai is currently headed to the Naiad system, why not exactly sure; but it seemed worth investigating. If nothing is to be found there, it will also head back into The Rift.
 
Hello there,

i'm off to sleep so i won't be able to read answers until my lunch break tomorrow, but i couldn't resist asking the question directly here (sorry if it's already been investigated, i've only started replaying a bit in recent days and am outdated on many topics):

Is the "To the whisperer in witch-space, the siren of the deepest void!" part of the Raxxla codex entry something that was known beforehand? Because it sounds new to me and... it also sounds an awful lot like what is described in the messages left on Formidine Rift alpha site:

Thanks in advance :)

Now that is intresting.
Never been to formidine rift, i'll try that approach now and 'll record the witchspace sound to see the spectrum of it, already was on path that way, to check NGC 7822 nebula, and heart and soul nebula.
Being in one direction with H&S is another reason to check that clue.


As a side note: been using audacity to records ingame sound and look into spectrum, may there be another tool which is better?

recent notes...

Consider Shinrarta Dezhra analogous to Elysian Fields, the blessed afterlife of the heroic and righteous, then Founders World would be the Fortunate Isles, reserved for those "judged as especially pure enough to gain entrance to the Elysian Fields all three times" Wikipedia, on greek mythology of Fortunate isles.

Han_Zen's mention of the Royal Stars leads to an exciting Wikipedia adventure of ancient astrology and history of thought. The four corners of the world, and the four winds, are present in a wide variety of mythological systems. Through ancient Iranian worldview, semiotic parallels, ending in Slavic folklore. Here we have yet again another secret paradise island, Byuan, and another 'omphalos', the mysterious stone of Alatyr, from whence healing, life-giving waters flow, a primordial navel of the world, symbolised by an eight pointed star. And again we are to witness the familiar symbolism of a bird and of a serpent, guarding the mysterious center of the world. Or is it an eagle and a snake? Perhaps a griffin and a cobra. (And the cuboctahedron?)

Also take notice, there are other Renascence literature written by Sir Philip Sidney, where "omphales" and Delphi are mentioned. One such delightful journey is The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia. Perhaps there is the key to the Polaris, not locked off by the Pilots Federation. Mentions of fixed stars are again present, of course. While not a native reader as you have noticed, I do enjoy reading such archaic, old english, merely a student of languages, I can hear some of the intonations and Scandinavian influences.

Perhaps it is some sort of a masterplan to steer us off from the entire Steam library of meaningless games, into, along with some coffee, reading these things, spare some practise of flying spaceships in semi newtonian flight simulation. Braben being present as a npc pirate, trying to steal players' water purifiers, only does to confirm this.

Looking for clues without knowing where exactly to look for them)))
There's also another "Astrophel", which is some kind of a post-mortem tribute to Sir Philip Sidney.


While on my way to Formidine rift been reading elite wiki and codex articles, and 'v got some more tinfoily ideas:

In Raxxla wiki article there's a part which says
According to Rafe Zette, a trader of old, there are already people on Raxxla. They've long suspected that a corps of elites live on Raxxla who exploit the gateway. They're powerful and twisted men who hire assassins to kill people who threaten their dominance.

Connect it with all that "The Club" story, and my guess would be that Raxxla really is "The Club"'s base of operation.

FORMIDINE RIFT ALPHA MISSION 5/6
Expedition Log: 07/10/3270

“I’m scared… help me someone… I can’t bear another jump. The lights in witch-space are coming for me, the lights… always the lights… they’re calling to me… a siren song… I must join them…”

Hello, siren song.

I might be overthinking yet again, but given that the Formidine Rift is one of the oldest running storyline/mysteries in Elite Dangerous...
 
The Formadine will have nothing to to with Raxxla. It was Drew Wagars own story that FDev allowed him to have fun with. Even he said he doesn't know where Raxxla is.

The Formidine story as it is - agreed, won't be connected, in a way as Raxxla is not a part of it.
But it might have some hints that were not a crucial part of original story and because of that got overlooked. Or might be just added.

That siren link is just too tempting not to follow it.


My take is: we are looking at a series of hints scattered by DW recently (before sanctioning an article about them being added to CODEX) throughout the galaxy, and it's just a matter of finding a correct key as to where to start and how to follow those hints. In the end we find their core base (might need to be already allied to their faction too) on which there are hints as to where Raxxla itslef is (and it's connection to The Club?).
 
This is my deepest void investigation, led me to a system with a BH.

When you use the FSS on a black hole, there is a repeating wave form with a few echo (whispers?) sounds, has anyone already analysed these?

I wouldn't know where to start, but didn't the probe get deciphered like this somehow.

Any help on how I can do this?

I'm also thinking of jumping through the BH to another system, that is if I can find any that might be remotely related to parents grief or lovers woe in range.

Thanks

Oh I GARUNTEE The Club know where Raxxla is, but The Club is also part of Elites bigger story not just DWs book... at least that's how I view it. I think The Club is FDevs thing and not just DWs thing. They have waaay to much what's the word... "Control" over the entire galaxy to NOT be a thing.

The Club know where Raxxla is, maybe FDev gave drew hints to put in to the logs, we don't know, you'd have to ask him, he's pretty active so you probably could. Still, where ever Raxxla is, we don't know, Drew doesn't know, and I bet only a VERY few people in FDev know where it is. But something tells me, that if we do find it, it's not gonna be what we think it is. Because.

A Planet, that can change control of ENTIRE factions, with portals that lead to huge wealth and control and just... it's a big. MCGuffin.
