The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
The OP has been updated with the quote, which was made on this forum. Links in OP
The quote that doesn’t quite say “it exists and we know where it is” was finally dug up and validated again on page 533 of this thread. It’s here:
Maybe we should have Macros plaster this to the first page AND his signature so we can stop getting new arguments about it every dozen or so pages, lmao. I really do love reading this thread, but sometimes it feels like it’s page after page of exactly the same “fact” restated by someone else interspersed with awesome stories and wild theories. Not that I’m complaining about those last two...

That quote is actually not substantiated. It is a paraphrase of the original quote, made almost a year after DB and DW's 2014 discussion. I have the links to prove this, but the first instance of this paraphrase is from a now deleted lore thread from DW's website.
Edit: the deleted article still exists on Canonn (link in op), which is what we currently use as proof for the quote, despite the fact that it is several degrees removed from the original quote.

Yes. I said this exact thing about 5-15 pages ago.
It's funny how when YOU say fdev didn't confirm or sent something you seem to think it should be taken as fact. You're real quick to cut down anyone else saying this though. Why is that?
I wouldn't at all be surprised if you did find Raxxla and are intentionally misrepresenting facts and misleading people. As I'm pretty sure I stated about 100 pages ago.
Sorry for the double post. I tried to edit it and my phone froze up and didn't show that it posted at all 
Mate.... Drew's one of the most factually accurate and non-misrepresentative people on the forums.
normally I'd agree but the facts are all in here. He also seems to take special interest in defacing a lot of things I say. Sorry if I take that personally. I don't deal well with being condescended to.

Yes that's what I was saying, the quote attributed to DB is from someone else, in law that's hearsay, its a legal useage by me not a judgemental one.
it is still live on DW livestream on YT where he recounts the story, not saying when it was recorded or how close to the conversation or whether it was the first time or the original time, just that its there and in that it is substantiated as that is what DW has said, nothing else implied.

Oh jeez, and I thought the acronym was out of control already. So if memory serves me correctly it’s now the ECoPTMWCTPBaP.This ! ^

PSA for anyone still feeling the 'outer rim' vibe:
There's a 'Fine Ring' sector 1kLY NE of Sol - towards the Norma Expanse.

Not sure if this helps, CMDR Mayor, but when I tried that 7-9 (I did 8 before jumping to Zaonce; left of Tionisla) jump theory, I was jumping while scooping every jump.
Since I'm in a DBX, and they struggle to gas up quickly in between jumps, I always make a spin or two before making the next jump when you exploring.
If you press the jump key when your scooping drops under 200/s and start to pull away, you can jump to the next system without rising your heat about 90%ish.

If your target becomes obscured I'm pretty sure the jump gets aborted. It can happen if you're not lined up on the target when you start charging.
Jumping while scooping would be pretty weak excuse to hide raxxla behind, even if it only worked in one system.
Cool. Could you post the link please? I would love to see it
I'm not sure any puzzle that takes over 5 years to solve could be described as weak
Page one of this thread; Under "Public FD Raxxla Statements"
#4 - "Raxxla exists, we know where it is, and why people haven't been able to find it..."
In that thread, if scroll a little down, Drew mentions
"Perhaps something for the "Second Great Expedition"
It's probably not much of a reveal to ...er... reveal that the official writers have been specifically asked to avoid 'Raxxla'. My money is on some clues being revealed in Michael Brooke's upcoming novel. We'll see."
This was back in 2014; anyone read Elite: Legacy?

Whilst a certain Penguin and I disagree on almost everything, I absolutely enjoy and value his contributions in equal measure. I have complete respect for yourself, Drew & all of the other "old guard" who challenge my wild theories and keep me in check. In fact, you are two of the many people I was referring to yesterday when I mentioned great contributions from the usual suspects. Having said this, however, I feel it is important to make two specific points.....
1) Stating assumptions as facts, when those assumptions are in the "no its not column" is no more accurate than stating assumptions as facts when they are in the "it could be over here" column, its just a little less obvious.
2) A member of the old guard stating an assumption as a fact is WORSE than other people doing it, as others tend to just accept that it must be true.
