Yeah, I figured you’d have done the full mapping etc. but thought I’d still better check just in case. I’m playing with a new alt at the moment, and I’ve found the sites fine (one deliberately and one accidentally), so they’re definitely not bugged in general. I’ll take a run out to the Trianguli one when so get chance and see if I get the same as you did.I definitely did a full map with the probes ‘cos that’s the first time I used them. Fairly sure I switched to Combat mode fater the scan to check for any signals. That’s when I was surprised the base didn’t show up. I had the coordinates from Canonn page so homed in then it showed up.
As I say, may be a bug. But worth testing if there are other bases that someone hasn’t visited before. It would be a real pain if this mechanism isn‘t actually doing its job, we’re relying on it for DW2, and Raxxla Questing....
p.s. thought I might see some of the old FRifters on DW2, surprised you’re not involved, but I think the only other is Spock. What’s everyone up to nowadays?
one of the reasons I signed up for DW2, apart from having missed the first one & never having done an organised expedition before, was because I suspect FD might release some new storyline out in the black. I took weapons because I’m half-expecting to encounter AI (rogue human or Guardian) or something else of significance. Though I may be wrong
I’m signed up to DW2, but my main account was already out a little way more or less on the route, so I didn’t come back for the start. Also, I’m in Open, - are you in Fleetcomm?
And yeah, I’ve got some suspicions about about DW2! We’re you watching the DW2 livestream? There was a point where Ed was saying about the stuff on the way and the CG for a station around Sag A*, so I dropped something in the chat along the lines of ‘!!! Interesting! Especially with Supermassive Blackholes being the mothers of galaxies!
’. Ed had an interesting look on his face afterwards! 
Unfortunately the game is programmed by humans so that could be a weak basis for hypothesising.
Someone in FD seems to be inordinately fond of mythology, and we’ve seen a picture of Michael Brookes’ tattoo.....But Han_Zen is quite correct (as usual!
) , following mythology too closely may well lead to space madness. Develop an hypothesis, then test its validity and be prepared to move on to another if it fails. Eventually some may turn out to be correct and could lead to a valid theory and conclusion. If you find something report it here with some supporting evidence.
I am personally not into mythology so tend not to follow those types of hypothesis too closely, but am willing to accept they might lead to Raxxla. However the toast in the Dark Wheel Codex entry is, IMHO, far more likely to lead to TDW stealth station than to Raxxla.
I read some Elite chronology titles and found one thing. There was special BHs In the extended edition that using for travel to other galaxies. In same text this other galaxies was a spurs of the Milly way. So probably MW is the mother of galaxies. Where is her brow, jewel etc?.. Where is the Galaxy face? It should be a bright thing. It should burns. In same time I looked at that Raxxla logo from the Codex. I definitely view Sun symbol. That circle with a dot. It surrounded by something triple. This thing holding sun inside itself.
So we (you) should to check Sol system twice. Not like a common Commander. But like a hunter for the hidden thing.
Unfortunately I can never to visit Sol myself and check all my ideas. Some my principles block me from it. For example I don't want to prove myself in Federal Navy. So I will be a humble exploer who only reads Galnet news about the real heroes. ;-) One day you will found it! And I will smile reading it while scanning another ice body.

Quite interesting, yeah. Might be that MB and DB are no longer the only Devs who know about Raxxla...
Let's just find "the brow" of this supermassive BH ! (Which I would call the "fate" or "doom" of the galaxy, rather than the "mother"... but it's just me.)
In some other language, the " jewell burns on the top of the mother..etc" is the translation . I don't think there is one Raxxla per every ED localization... Or, lost in translation, could be ?

Yes, Im in Fleetcom for DW2, but currently spending some time in Solo with my young clone getting his AspX engineered. However I want to get back to doing some more mining for DW2, got up to top 50% sunday afternoon- not bad in a Phantom when everyone else seems to be flying mining condas of clippers!
Thought I heard you mentioned on that livestream. I didn’t spot that look, but I think Iwas thread reading while watching. Interesting!
Yes, it is. If I'm right in my localisation mentioned "crown" or something same. Or may be crown, diadem or forehead. Jewel on the head. What is it? The top level of MW? Top from the center? From Earth? Polaris is a good variant but it haven't any link to the "mother".
Also we may think about Corona Borealis constellation. It alpha is Gemma so same to "gem", and to "jewel" words.
P.s. Yes, I know what Alphekka is just single star (Ingame). But this theory was beautiful anyway

May I ask what's your localisation of the game ?
There is that system... like 4000 Ly right over Sgr A*.
Can't remember its name... Ophiuchi ?
Yep, V2 107 Ophiuchi
Ophioukhos; "serpent-bearer", ...meh...
main is a K star in ED
Unreachable, it was, iirc...
It may have changed since I was near there..
http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=V*+V2107+Oph
EDIT: forget it... still unreachable. My memory is becoming as solid as Pa's...
Serpent?
Doc ! Could be related to Ouroboros/TDW/Raxxla ?
Doc ?
Dooooooc !

Would you at least explain how you discovered a realtion between Raxxla and the Eleusinian Mysteries?
A valid axplanation about that could make your thesis more credible.

Russian. In our localization first sentence of the DW toast is "За жемчужину в короне матери галактик!". Rough word by word translation: "For pearl in crown mother galaxies!". So I think "brow" = "forehead" or "crown". Or just "top" as a top point

Umm, I think there was something lost in the translation (pun intended)...
галактик with latin aplhabet is: galaktik
I think in your list should be "коронa" which translates to crown.

You are right. Crown is "корона". Scytale missed word order probably. I re-tranlated it in a wrong (non-English) word order specially. Word by word as I said.Umm, I think there was something lost in the translation (pun intended)...

The Jewel is actually one of the official names of Alphekka. Gnosia is another name for it.
Corona Borealis in mythology, is linked to Ariadne: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariadne
Aridane is linked to labyrinths, weaving and solving of mazes and pusles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariadne's_thread_(logic)
As the daughter of king Minos, she is also a princess. Lots of good bits from her.
Corona Borealis is also linked to the Welsh goddess Arianrhod. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arianrhod
Arianrhod means 'silver wheel'. She is a virgin mother and is associated with the moon and the stars and weaving. https://feminismandreligion.com/2013/02/23/arianrhod-celtic-star-goddess-2/
Alphekka is also right next door to Dea Motrona (literally meaning mother goddess).
It's an interesting region.
Thanks for the hint. I'll bring a combat ship and will report if anything peculiar happens after/when shooting Dark whatsoevers.
Some Raxxla Weirdness:
So Everyone is hooked into the Casiopeia thing, and Guru 951 claim... I have some interesting developments.
"The jewel that burns in the brow of the mother of galaxies"
If you dissect the Cassiopeia stars, one main star is Caph. this means hand, which is held near the forehead in many drawings of Cassiopeia. But her actual brow, is somewhere in the middle of the V that is formed by Caph, gamma, and Schedar. The middle of this is peculiar as it contains a star called
Kappa Cassiopeia
This star has a red bow, looks like a jewel, is bright, and....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_Cassiopeiae
Was first mapped by Guru-951
https://www.edsm.net/en/system/bodi...ails/idB/40958/nameB/Kappa+Cassiopeiae+BC+6+a
So.... Kappa Cassiopeia, might have something to do with it, if that cmdr is telling the truth at all.

I went there last night, it's just a repeatable scripted event. Anywhere from 10-20 ships show up and it becomes a mini combat zone for a little while. After everything's done nothing else really happens. It might be part of some invisible checklist but who knows. The attacking party was sol workers party for me, nothing about dark anything. I followed some of the ships out of the system and they just head to random stations and dock.
It seems to just be an additional way to obtain rep with some of the Sol factions.

Even though my best guess is he just went through all the Cassiopeia stars at the early stages of his search, this is an interesting find.
That's just beautiful.
