The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
10 years is the development cycle. That's when the game truly begins.
Nah, this is ED, not SC!!!
Yes. That's why I said 10 years, not 10 decades.Nah, this is ED, not SC!!!
I might have said the same a few months back, but it seems FD have been gradually walking away from that position, and the Gan Romero admission that Galnet is just fluff helps to confirm that. All the posturing, intrigue and murder in the story have been reduced to a bit of background noise, whilst new bigger guns and ships are now the emphasis. The interstellar initiatives seem just to be to enable them to set up the next round of combat oriented narrative - equipping us with more toys to fight with.
In an internal fantasy world, I look for a dev to chime in and tell us to keep our hopes up, but it won't happen, I'm sure (now doing the equivalent of standing on a hill in a thunderstorm waving a long sword shouting 'all gods are bar-star'ds' - [ref to T. Pratchett] )
Yes. People have been talking about how the second initiative was better, because of the good story!?!?
Hi CMDRs, please go and **** off the thargoids so we can have a big battle. The end.
Maybe I expect to much, but where exactly was the good story?Edit - Having the 1st round as go hand in exploration data, that will keep the explorers happy didn't quite cut it for me.
Again....maybe my expectations are unrealistic.
Edit 2 - what would have made it more interesting is if you had a pacifist faction you could donate the exploration data too, who would have blocked aegis. Then, at least, player actions would have GENUINELY influenced the path of the initiative. As it was, what was going to happen was going to happen. Any suggestion that commanders influenced it is lip service

oops...it was Psyren Farseer with a y not an i as I posted, still not an Xbox player though, system was right in earlier post.
OK so Galfluff was just stories of 'space madness' rather than evidence or meaningful, but they never said it was, or wasn't I accept
Yelboc - I live in hope that Discworld is out there somewhere, just imagine it if you found that! What an homage that would be...

And I've played 30 years of games from Asteroids & Planetoid, through Starlancer and the X Universe and always thought....well it's good but it's not Elite...so yes I am biased (addicted for life, pretty much regardless of what happens, if it all gets too bad I can retreat into Solo)
I've also learned to laugh at the non-existence of Raxxla in any previous game, preferring to see it as a magic trick rather than a con / insult....he's got me again.

Psyren Farseer is a PC player. At least the name shows up when I search in game.
Thanks Han_Zen....hmm still doesn't rule out Fdev player, just means nothing super suspicious about it, unlike the planet mapped by Salome, after she died.
To quote Victor Meldrew, I don't believe it! I've just searched EDDB for any station near Shapley 1, no filters, and the first one in the list is...a massive coincidence. Have a look Yelboc, it may be as close as we get, I'm on the way now

It's not an homage to Pratchett until you get to meet Binky and, game over.
So: Tinfoil time...
During lunch I was under the vague impression "Parents grief/Lovers woe" might be connected to the Ilias with Priamos being the parent and the lovers Paris and Helena. So I decided to look on Galmap whether I might find a system named "Troy" - no result. But when I entered the German word for Troy (Troja) the marker inexplicably jumped to Eta Cassiopeiae. The incident was repeatable so I'm unsure whether it's a bug or not.
While I was on it I thought whether Atlantis, El Dorado und John Presbyter might actually be hints. Atlantis of course is easy to find (for reasons unknown it's underlayed with a green treiangle on my Galmap - Any idea what that means?) El Dorado on the other hand could not be found under the spanish name, but looking for its indigenious name Omagua I found a system going by that name so I think it's safe to say both Atlantis and El Dorado are in the game. Concerning John Presbyter I have currently no idea what to look for.

He’s currently grazing on the grass around the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard!

This got me thinking. Did we really avoid Y2K? Did it just subtly go by causing problems we missed? Did it cause the events leading to the thargoids? Are there any references to this now forgotten event and scare in modern history?! Is this a universe if Y2K happened, the friends special was never watched, 9/11 never happened and we found the government secrets, and the universe slowly plunged into chaos?
On another note. I believe that is called an Amish paradise.
I wonder if they have every tried to release trojan ham?! They could go into a new form of sausage making and meat brining business. And make godawful commercials about pounding your meat and sticking in their lovely casings sealed in juices and sat for a month in their commercial grade cellars. TROJAN HAM!!!
