Last time I tried it wast't possible. I know some cmdrs has the permit though.

With regards to Mingfu - its on the list of "This system is locked by the Pilot's Federation, no permits are currently issued." types, but it has the relatively unusual permit message of "access to this system has been denied " - only this and Witch's reach have that exact wording.

Does this mean it was a (relatively) recent permit lock?

Perhaps if someone does have the permit they'd like to confirm how they got it?
 
Without going into too much detail to protect a confidential source but does this picture mean anything to anybody

Hmmm i want confidential sources! Sounds fun. There was an odd noise i got in one system after discovery scan and again after detailed scan... but never was quite sure what it was signaling. I think i posted it a while back. Been meaning to dig into it a bit more... wasnt sure if it was some kind of notification tied to the codex or what.
 
The 33 stanzas of the poem may be hinting in a different direction. Specifically related to the way locations in the galaxy are discretized (to the 1/32 Ly in each axis). Using 1/32 Ly gives 33 possible positions between 0 and 1 inclusive. (0/32, 1/32.... 32/32 =33 indices). If positions of valid points (based on 1/32 deltas) which have magnitude 1.00+/-0.005 (to allow the game to display the range as 1.00 are plotted there is a resemblance to the raxxla logo/symbol. (if you combine two of the views you get something similar to the raxxla symbol, but the relative scale of some features (the internal hexagon) is not seemingly correct.) The choice of 32 as a divisor is odd given they could have used much higher precision (assuming 32 bit signed ints where used for positions, and a 100k Ly radius galaxy.).

Most of the systems of interest seem to typically have very low system ids. This might support that something was baked into the galaxy map structure prior to most of the proc generated systems being added.

The only two known 'hidden' systems in the bubble are Zeladra II near sol and HIP 34104 near LFT 509. Both are near permit locked systems, and appear to be almost precisely 1.00 LY from their 'hosts'. Why name "test" systems, and why locate them a fixed distance from their hosts? (the game can deal with coincident systems so why put the test systems in displaced locations. They are less hidden as is than coincident systems would be.)

A jump or misjump combination lock of sort could have been baked into the game by MB. The hyperdiction injection mechanic was planed from the start (only got added later into the live game after the goids where ready), and could have been repurposed for raxxla (or been the orginal reason for the mechanic to be developed in the first place.).
 
Ah ok so a correction - the weird sound started as I jumped into the system for roughly 20 seconds and again when i come out of the discovery scanner.... No one else run into this?

Kinda sounds like some aboriginal musical instrument....
Maybe its the sound of an Iynx Wheel ? hmmm might have to go back and see if i can repeat that...

No no. This is the sound of old scanner, the one that happens when you target planet and a circle is spinning at the left panel - this is the sound of it. This is left over from old scanning and I hear it all the time near objects.
 
Ill be your confidential source.

I could tell you stuff, but its confidential.

Is that how it works?
"Pssst!
Yeah you! Hey!
Psst!
....I've figured out another possible Sanskrit etymology for Raxxla, ऋक्ष. It means star, constellation, lunar mansion, a star under which one is born among other things. It derives from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ŕ̥tḱos, meaning bear, lot of cognates in another Indo-European languages, like Hittite. Now, Proto-Indo-European "
h₃rḗǵs" and "reyǵ-" are good possible candidates too, but "*h₂ŕ̥tḱos" opens up a whole new world of bronze age mythologies for interpretation. This stuff is confidential remember, so keep your mouth shut about this okay?"

A tortoise wrapped in seaweed under the fire-altar represents Agni. This is what burning stations essentially are.

Do you know of any stations that sell horses or other livestock?
