It was permit locked in FE:2 and FFE. The Sublime Order, previously known as the Guardians of the Free Spirit are a strict religious sect. They don't take kindly to strangers.

You can read about Captain Jupiter's adventures there, in this story: http://www.dream-ware.co.uk/frontie...on-the-frontier/on-the-wrong-side-of-the-law/

Lots of trouble for a cup of coffee. :coffee:

Thanks Han_Zen. Enjoyed that short story!
If I ever get around to coding a ship’s computer in VoiceAttack (akin to ANNA for SC) then I may well name her Iolanthe! Except what’s she got against coffee???

I think Iolanthe is referring to the evil navy brew, not coffee in general.

Still harsh though. Bad coffee is way better than no coffee. :)

Can't help you there. I was so many times told that the witchspace cinematics is just a loading screen without any significance that I came to believe it...
Please, prove them I was / you are right ! ;)

Scytale. I’ve had a look at MB’s tattoo pic, & it seems to differ from the one (penultimate pic) in whatever he is holding in your post. So I was wondering where he got the picture for his tattoo from (is it really Cthulhu? I know nothing about Cthulhu!!!) and what changes were made from the original (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tYpdWTjEDYE/VRqOFFrKwOI/AAAAAAAACf8/TtLh0gjmuhQ/s1600/Small+res+file+for+Fb+uploads.jpg) tattoo pic as found via Simulacrae’s repeat (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/ua-mystery-thread-4-the-canonn.195658/post-3114710) of MB’s original post in the UA Mysteries thread (ah, happy days!).

And I can’t see where the key you mention shows in his tattoo pic.

Mm, not so sure. I’m a bit of a purist. Freshly ground and filtered Americano for me, no milk or sugar, preferably from Columbian beans. My son got me some El Salvador beans for my birthday; ok, but not the same...☕️

I don't know where MB had the original drawing from, Pa. I just assume he drew it or had it drawn following his instructions.
Not Cthulhu himself who appears, but Hastur the Unspeakable, jumping out of Carcosa, Aldebaran, with his servant Byaykhees. As I said in my original post.
Some differences between the drawing and the actual tattoo he shows are because it wasn't fully finished when the pic was taken, I think. You can see the St Michael (Brookes ?) flamigera sword blade not yet drawn. And the trumpet-angel above him is wingless.
The key is on the upper left corner, at the entrance of the Underworld. Where it has to be inserted ?. ;)
Imho.
Oh, right ! It isn't on the actual tattoo ! Why ? Not yet drawn ? mmhh...
No keeyyyyy ! :unsure:

Why am I here, when I have ED shelved for months ?
Because I love this crazy thread !

Just remember to always wear the anti-space madness gear you were provided, pals !
Or don't !



Cmdr Lucky Luke Syndrome. I bet.
Poor boy... :rolleyes:
Or, he has found Raxxla.
Again.

Ohh, I get it! If you find Raxxla someone at FDev hijacks your machine and wipes your save? :eek:

One thing I am finding in Van Maanen's star system is almost continuous "Warning FSD operating beyond safe operating limits" announcements. I thought FD had fixed that bug ages ago? I'm 100kls away from the White Dwarf

Ah, went back a bit further and found the reference to origin of the tattoo picture

UA Mystery thread 4 - The Canonn

Found the story behind the image of the tattoo and the blog: http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/the-space-inbetween-preview.html Something to do with impossible forms and mathematics... triangles forming pictures? ;)

Seems like he was going to write a book about it. Must have a read!

Edit: there’s a t-shirt! http://thecultofme.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-space-inbetween-t-shirt-now-in-black.html

Edit2: can’t find the book, perhaps he never finished it?

I actually came to it from the other direction. After the Rift finished I had no active goal, so I was wondering what to do. Since the thing that makes ED special for me is the 'real world' galaxy, I hit upon the idea of visiting all the catalog systems in the game. So I fired up Wikipedia, picked a constellation, bookmarked all the listed systems (not just the alphas, betas, etc - all the HIPs, HDs and HRs) in it and headed out. I'm currently heading back from completing my 19th constellation.

It was only subsequently that I realized that this goal could conceivably overlap with the 'journey' needed to find Raxxla. I'm closing in on my 1,000th HR system, so my fingers are firmly crossed at this point :D

Aren't some of those stars blcoked out by permit sectors though? I remember not being able to get all of Orion because all the permit zones and not being able to get where I was trying to go in either direction except to turn around and go back the way I came.

Hey all,
Been away for a fair while, its good to see this thread still alive and well, love it. Last I was here the Dark Wheel toast was the in thing, trying to be deciphered and theories spun from that.

In my interests of being lazy and trying to avoid scanning through 200 + pages here (which I may do anyway) whats the latest in these parts? has there been any more 'official' hints? breakthroughs?

I had forgotten that it was going to be a book. It does not seem to have materialized.

Latest News:

The Codex is the key vs there will be no clues
The toast is the key vs there will be no clues
The toast is seeped in parallels to ancient Greek / Persian creation myths vs its just human behaviour making patterns, incidentally heres a pattern made from Pink Floyd songs.
Pink Floyd is the key vs was just pointing out out human brain draws patterns, its the way it organises things subconsciously, nothing to do with Floyd (but still worth sticking an album on while playing)
Dark side of the Moon has been disproven - there is no dark side of the moon (as it says on the album) but theres a side we never see from Earth so 'dark' to humans as in unknown as in Dark Ages (before satellites and orbiters)
DB actual quotes have been sourced and quoted accurately with proven links - hasnt actually helped at all but did take a surprisingly long time to stop the mis-quotes
DW quotes have been sourced and linked inc 2 retellings of the same event which has caused confusion but probably just memory or similar - nothing deceitful or underhand intended, no obfuscation intended
MB quotes have been found and scrutinised to some new excitement from us who never knew about them - doesnt give any real info as usual
Salome has been solved - no myths or legends involved, just human over-complication getting in the way, see above about Pink Floyd. Was immense fun while it lasted
Diversions have been offered by a mysterious ship exploding for 'no reason' in another thread, kept me occupied for 2 days anyway - probably not Raxxla
NPC have been to flight school and demonstrate some amazing flying synchronisation at various random points in the game, Nav Beacons and intsallations and some planetary installations and just randomly - exciting when it happens and you think it means something, until you've seen it 50 trimes at various points and realise its just flight practice for the NPC Display Team (its the programming that makes NPCs stay in certain zones at times so they fly in formation within it is all, I saw 3 flying round and round one of the Hawkins Gap sites as they were restricted to a very small airspace)
Myths / total exaggeration / total lies have been debunked - 'Someone honked it and moved on' has been buried like it should have been long ago with no source ever
Lave 2 has been confirmed as Lave 'missing' moon - don't know if you knew that 2 years ago or not?
Some have started to focus on the 'challenge' set by the DW and are trying various herculean feats to see if they get anywhere - eg mapping all the Constellations visible from Earth, trying to get various permits and ranks and unlocks. basically doing what us humans do, poking and prodding until something happens up or goes bang and then we say 'Right, what happened and can I repeat it?' ie learning
GaNet has been reduced to accurate 'factual' stories only - some story driven or parallel but it hasn't really kicked into gear yet, or its found the Park gear and its staying as it is now....to be confirmed either way by GalNet articles.

And thats about it, so probably not much headway but a lot of fun and distraction along the way :)
