in what universe? this is EXACTLY what a troll does!
He's probably gotten more attention from his 6 posts than he's gotten his whole life from anybody missing an X chromasome.
HAS he been banned? He could have just as easily deleted/renamed his own account.
No, not much of a "something on my head" guy. But I will say, I did sit for a fair few minutes before jumping into that first system. 44kly's out in the black...what if this is it? What if I jump in and get interdicted by a wing of Elite NPC's? What if it's full of lizard people and aliens? What if....well the list goes on. Needless to say after four brown dwarves and countless chunks of ice later, I was pretty convinced that I was going to be OK.
At the time (in the real time as it was all taking place), that seemed to be very odd for sure.
Alas, whatever happened, the trail has gone stone cold.
Well what ever he found, couldn't have been Raxxla, because the " 8th moon of the unidentified gas giant " is reference to the hidden Dark Wheel base, not Raxxla.
Was wondering about that too. Besides that, in this system the 8th moon is a bit ambiguous, because 7 and 8 are a double system.
Sooooo.... Nothing to see here?
Thing is, this forum does have a tradition of oddballs claiming that various random planets/stations/POIs are "Raxxla" and causing a fuss about it.
As a mod', you get to see a member's IP address, as well as access to a forum where "oddballs" will be noted, so you might have more information about a member's previous activities and alt-accounts than regular members have.
Personally, I'd suggest that any post/thread claiming to have located Raxxla that doesn't include a screenie can immediately discounted as cobblers.
Let's face it, as soon as anybody sees anything strange, they're going to start pounding the screenshot button.
And, as for the whole "You don't get the goodies if you tell anybody else" theory, I can't really imagine that being a tough choice for many people.
A free "I found Raxxla" decal or eternal internet fame and the adoration of the masses?
Hmmm, let me think about that for a couple of milliseconds.....

This is very true. At the time, I checked out on Google to see if stuff was being reported elsewhere, and there was nothing (although a previous post here refers to Reddit and Facebook posts, so I missed those) and I would have expected images to be flashing around everywhere !
Edit - Hmmmm ... can you take photos of "a journey" as Michael Brookes expressed it ?

Those who found Raxxla get a free Cobra Mk IV - that will absolutely keep them quiet!
If I had to guess, I would be willing to bet that the OP saw an RNG crashed satellite thingiemahjigger. The first time I saw one of those on an abandoned planet, I thought I was fittin'a be forum famous. Then I found out what it was and felt a bit silly. That's what I'm guessing happened here.
"ZOMGWTFBBBQ!!1!1!!!11!!!eleven!!1 This is totally Raxxla. On the eighth moon, too! And it even has this big blue circle on the radar guiding me in. Yup, totes Raxxla."

Does anyone really believe that Raxxla is an actual real place that you can visit in some meaningful way, and not just some bullcrap made up by FDev to string people along thinking there's some great conspiratorial mystery when in reality there's just.... nothing.....?
It fits the MO of the rest of the game, a shallow empty promise hyped up way beyond reality.

No, I totally believe it is an ELW out there with a tourist beacon in orbit since the introduction of those. I don't expect to be able to interact with it in any meaningful way, but I do expect that it is in-game as a visitable, visual location.
This is exactly what a troll does.
Even still, if that's the grand total of this great mystery unsolved for decades...... just some text at a beacon.
Oh yeah, I concur with your sentiment, 100%. I didn't say that it would live up to expectations, or that the reveal would be commensurate with the hype...just that an ELW with a tourist beacon is my expectation.
At least it will be hard to disappoint me.
Since they put it in the Codex I believe it is somewhere to be found. But I expect it's only visual.

If its real.
Fdev should put a cash money reward up. Since they should be able to detect who visits it first.
I bet that will put some butts in some seats.
Very true ! The Forum feeds the fantasy.In response to the OP: They don't need (any more, there was some from Brett C back in the days) an official statement, all they need to do is not rejecting any wild esoteric guessings to keep the legend alive. Works like a charm.
It was worth checking .... either to support the post or to debunk it. Glad you and Riverside and others were able to do so quickly. (Thebattlepope was first there.) The shenanigins with the post were distinctly odd. Maybe he didn't expect you to be so close by and to respond so quickly !
