Then Coma Berenices (again) is the bright star we can see as apparently sitting on the top of the MW when looking at from Sol ?
If so, interessing, indeed !
I guess it would not be very different if looking at it from Shinrarta or Tau Ceti, due to small paralax ?

Tools for viewing the sky from earth: I recommend Stellarium - free and beautiful, and has all the catalogues, star names and constellations. For ED, turn off the ground and the daylight and switch on the constellation lines and images..

In principle you could even set the date correct.

The UI is a bit odd - tabs appear at the edges with various control panels.

Just one word. Diadem is not brightest star in Coma Berenices constellation. Alpha - yes, but not brightest one. If I'm (and Wikipedia) right.

Im in Formidine Rift for a month now, searching for stuf, hoppefully some to be related to Raxxla or "Club" related lore. There is nothing, litterally maybe get one biological planet every 100+ systems. This at random exploration is so demorilizing...

Hi Orthon, the strange missions - I think that's just a new missions mechanic in beyond 4. Quite a few people have had this and if your used to the old ways then it will seem strange. They weren't there in the original game so should not be the right path?

In many stations I get the 'mission objective found' message as I launch. Usually its just a trader mission with a type-9 in open space.

The NYSA mission was a black - box, though the grain cannister was interesting to me, but in the end it just fizzled out.

One of the troubles with all of this, is that all the NPCs have interesting names in order to make the game feel good and its all to easy to read too much into them and suffer from coincidence.

I suspect we are missing the first hook, and that if we can work it out then it will unravel nicely. Keep looking - its more interesting than pew-pew :) and I've learnt tons of old mythology and astronomy :cool:

From my siftings of galnet, not very much but some interesting patterns.

some 'crank' discussed "They took her for their own purposes. Not the lizard people from Andromeda, that’s the Imperial Dynasty. She’s been taken somewhere different.”

https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/14-AUG-3301

Many lore famiiy members are in the news:

Journalist Katherine Ryder
Colm Tornquist of the Imperial Herald
Professor Cora Shaw, director of the Palin Institute.

to name a few..

But in general there really isn't much - I haven't got through the whole archive yet, but have another 18 months to go having started at the start in 3301. Galnet has certainly improved over the years :)

Its worth reading to see how the other in game stories have evolved as this gives us a flavour of how things might work out. Hard going though - lots of community goal messages to wade through.

I see references to 'Station Radio' channels - not come across this - does that mean there is more information than the Galnet news channel? Any idea if this recorded anywhere?

Friends, it is probably offtop here but I want to ask. How is the information uploaded to the sites like edsm.net? By the people? May stations being fully destroyed? Disappeared from the system? Look at Merope system. In the index there are 4 stations. But in the stations page - only 3. Is it just an error?

Actually there are 5 listed at Inara and EDSM. But I think two of them (Lodestar and Thunderhead) are mission related and not dockable.

I think you are right on that. Just wanted to share experiences in case they are helpful or at least to help people avoid spending time on similar tracks. Consider that that post is an incomplete enumeration of the things I tried over the last years, written from memory, one in which an attempt was made at finding something that only has been rumored about. Thus, trying every available direction according to a sensible prioritization.

Agreeing on that too :). Although, I don't even think such a mission story line exists. But I cannot know.

The only tangible things I currently have (so don't overly focus on the rest of that post) is the theory on Antares and the reasoning behind the Omphalos Rift (and yes I am going to repeat myself).

1. Although stars spiral around black holes, I have never seen stars with the same brightness do it at equidistant points as in Maia B. Furthermore, it would make sense that that system could contain a map, given the Thargoid presence, but heck that's major speculation. Furthermore, given that that spiraling happens when approaching the BH from the side trying to focus Sol behind it (and the equidistance becomes perfect just when Sol is centered), and that when moving backwards from the black hole (with Sol still centered behind it) they form an eye (also rather perfectly dotted), is even more coincidence. Especially, having two of these stars in the eye-brows (since they are mirrored) burning red (i.e., Antares) the others for the record being (Asterope, Glesting, Andoe, HIP 17704 burning blue-white). Well that kind of makes it a very big coincidence. There are just too many things in the R codex entry that align with the above.
Then, there are the coincidences concerning the mountain range on B8C A (really really really maybe BBC Acorn) that are very very similar to Barnard's loop and the crater formations around it's central point that are very very similar to the (Asterope, Glesting, Andoe, HIP 17704) constellation including the 3 stars going up which I still need to determine when going back to Maia.

2. Apart from that (concerning the omphalos rift) if I would consider the outer reaches of the known galaxy according to mythology then orion and scorpius (of which antares is the hearth) would be a nice choice, given that they are put as far away apart to never fight again. Finding large regions (16LY in diameter) without stars at the average position of two red giants of either of these constellations, well it certainly got my attention. Furthermore, the center between antares and betelgeuse lays just outside the bubble. Now, I could possibly run a query on the systems database to verify the uniqueness of that, but intuitively that seemed quiet unique. Here is the data for the central point:
You get there in supercruise from "Crucis Sector IM-V b2-5" taking the direction of "Wregoe IG-Y b46-0" for 7.98347291870837 Ly. It took about 90T of fuel in a Krait MKII and about 35h of flight, But for your sake don't do it :p, or do it over night with automated screenshots like I did ...
The data:
Betelgeuse (169.40625,-72.5,-462.625), Antares(71.5,138.40625,531.375), Average: (120.453125,32.953125,34.375); and the nearest 5 systems (distance,name,x,y,z):
"7.98347291870837" "Crucis Sector IM-V b2-5" "114.71875" "27.4375" "35.03125"
"8.64933726688063" "Crucis Sector GR-V b2-5" "112.5" "35.1875" "36.9375"
"8.37881792639928" "Raijunab" "116.6875" "29.1875" "27.90625"
"10.7936296678295" "Bacamadia" "116.125" "23.09375" "33.625"
"10.1532928387174" "Salintaula" "128.0625" "34.78125" "27.90625"
Like I also said before, by determining pairs of systems that form a straight line on that central point I found many pairs in the systems database almost perfectly matching. Plotting them however, created rather large offsets in the galaxy map (when I did this for example for Polaris, they did match almost perfectly). It might be interesting to verify the systems database coordinates on that region, since I am pretty sure that I didn't mess up the math or queries for it.

Unfortunately, these tracks got me nowhere. Maybe someone will get further with it.

In the end I still feel that the only fact we have is that R, if it ever existed, has been found before the mention of Art in the codex. All else is doubtful and even the latter can be twisted around I guess. If not, then I still presume it to be found somewhere between Sol and the nearest 100-ish stars to which probes were sent (cfr. tourist beacons in sol and tau ceti).

Idk if this has been mentioned before, I’ve tried to keep up with the thread but at 400 pages it can get away from me sometimes so if it’s a repeat I apologize. But I was docking at a station yesterday, it was an Orbis station with 5 solar panels at the rear. It struck me that when approaching directly from the front, it made a near perfect copy of the Raxxla Symbol from the codex. The station making up the center, and the 5 solar panels making up the five lines between the black quasi diamond shapes (which are empty pace between them.) the only thing different is that Orbis stations heads are circular from the front and the symbol is hexagonal. So, are there any Mobile Coriolis shapes stations? Or Orbis stations that are hexagonal that we know of?

Or perhaps a generation ship for that matter, some of those have five spokes that would look quite similar from the front. Just a matter of the shape of the head.

There is one correlation to all stations from the raxxla symbol. The back of all stations have a hexagon shape cut into 6 wedges. Some have a circle of 18 notches that are red, but are not a hexagon like the raxxla symbol. They all have an object like the inner circle and two sets of lines that look like the 3 partial circles in the front(one on the main entrance, one on that little circle to the side of the mailbox.). So, the symbol has odd similarities to all interiors of all stations.(except the back and maybe front of asteroid bases.)

Not sure about exteriors yet. Haven't found enough really directly similar looking things.

And the 3 part circles is also the same as the reticule in the system map. But it is oddly upside down. And is always upside down to anything else similar like a cockpit reticule.

The only other thing that comes to mind is that we are all always spinning our wheels to figure this out.... 8\

Maybe that is the meaning of, "The Dark Wheel."

I'm still hoping to find an odd station that has more in common with the image... I wonder if the hexagon has any similarities to the outside of a Coriolis.

Notice that this base does not have a normal back. I just realized this. I wonder if we can whittle down bases that don't have full backs and check them all. (or maybe it's a normal one like this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Station_in_Elite_Dangerous.png)

Note: Both the large part of the station interior and the little part next to the 1 have similarities and a tripple partial circle design. Although you might need to look closer to see it on the little circle. Still not sure what that thing is.

I don't have any pics of the red rear interior. But I do have one of this which is slightly odd. The rear of each of these stations seems to be slightly unique.

I'm also missing a pic of the rear showing how most of them have the blatant hexagonal shape in the rear.

do any coriolis stations have 6 rods around it like how the mcarthur has two? I know some have 4. I think Euclid's station has 4 arms on it. Is it unique?

Found a link with some pics:

It struck me mostly because I was coming into a station that had 5 long solar panels at the rear that would make the 5 spokes in the image, and the empty space between them makes up the black shapes in the symbol. The center would be the station body itself as viewed from the front (or rear I suppose). Idk why the station body would be made of a dotted line in in the symbol or what the three lines and dot correspond to, unless those are our ships reticule as you suggest.

I was in Tau Ceti today. Nothing special. But I found encoded signal (without owner) and the private something inside. After scanning I received 4 message. Unfortunately all letters was squares. So I made the fool thing. Removed it. Now I wonder... Was it just the random mindless messages?..

I believe you are all wrong... The first line of the toast i am fairly confident is referring to a female astronomer looking through a telescope and having that stars light shine on thier brow. This person would have to be considered in some fashion a Mother of Galaxies.

Could be:

1) Henrietta Swan Leavitt and her discovery of Cepheid stars responsible for giving us the ability to calculate cosmic distances.

2) Jocelyn Bell Burnell who worked with pulsars in particular LGM-1 (Little Green Men)

3) Vera Florence Cooper Rubin - Worked with Galaxy rotation.

Could be more applicable fits all the above in some way link together with galaxies although Vera being the most obvious but lacking that "Star on the brow" unless we are talking about A*.

So im not entirley sure if this mystery was cleared up, but I do remember in a previous posts on the thread about the extremley strange objects in the Alpha Cygni System Map. These two “clouds” as I like to refer to them, are constantly fading and growing and changing shap conplegley in the bottome right hand corner, with a bright orb dimming and reappearing between each respectivley. After exploring the system you can view this wether you are in system or not after waiting on the system map screen for around 3-5mins.

This phenomena stunned me as one lf the the most blatant system map visuals I have seen. Wether it is relevant ti the search or not I think its worth looking into, as I have not found much discussion online about this, tho I may be behind the curve here.

Ps. I apologize I had trouble posting a picture of this ontothe forums for complete evidence
