The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
Ha! Found it. Simbad designation is Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy. Unfortunately it has no child objects, so the catalog if it exists is not in the database apparently.
Other identifiers for it also at the bottom. None of them include the ones referenced on the Wikipedia page unfortunately. Clicking on its siblings though will give you a list of every other galaxy in the Local Group I believe, for anyone who then wants to click on their children to generate a list for each, and check each listed identifier of a child against the Galaxy Map to see if any of them are in game... ;-)
[Edit: that said, clicking on display for the CMa references will generate a list of articles, some of which will have a "Simbad objects" link under them for those stellar objects referenced that are in the database, so it may be possible to check some - the first article listed for example has 17 Simbad objects, unfortunately all galaxies or clusters and the like and no stars. ]

Not sure, but I thought I saw a thread in Dangerous Discussion where someone was complaining that getting cargo from megaships has been broken forever. This was from a piracy perspective though so not sure if that would also apply for a mystery ghost ship, but if it is broken for one type of megaship...
I did get the logs when I was there - data scanner on the ship itself to identify possible contact points, then data scan the ones identified as ship's log. When I was there a week or so ago I wasn't aware it even had any cargo so never tried to get it. I think there might have been some cargo and mats just floating in space nearby though, nothing unusual as I recall, just run of the mill stuff.
There are more logs on the surface also at the survey base and the wrecked SRV

So, thought I might take a trip to Vela Dark Region, Puppis Dark Region and Puppis Dark Region B. Not sure if they are technically part of the Great Rift, but they are "behind" Coalsack/Musca and might have been destinations for the Hesperus, or the station of another Galcop listening outpost potentially (although more likely the latter, if it exists, would have been just outside Coalsack Nebula if they followed the model they did with Sarasvatii and had one out that way). There is also Taurus and Aries Dark Regions out near Pleiades and Witch Head, as well as Scutum and Vulpecula Dark Regions out past Polaris. That will likely keep me busy until new content drops.

Plenty of cargo to salvage:
Scan the escape hatch, go to Target->Sub-target, select the Limpet Docking Point, fire the hatch breaker then collect the cargo.

Ghost Ship Adamastor
So maybe we should take those occupied escape pods to the thargoids and see what they say?
Probably "spoiled meat?"
Ya probably rightSo this is a bit odd. Just started out towards Vela, about 250LY out hit a proc-gen T-Tauri star, no other bodies but some asteroids, but it has 20 (twenty) Degraded Emissions signal sources. But nothing else. Usually if I hit those in the black in an otherwise empty system there are only 1 or 2. Just RNG madness or worth investigating? They are usually just junk, so I am thinking it is the former.
I think they drop from human ship activity. Something been going on nearby?
Sorry a quick question. In the guards you can activate in one since the SRV has a container with 2 seats.
Is it possible to activate the unknown device Thargoid alone (in solo game)?
And what does the Thargoid base look like outside at the time of activation of the device ? And also the planet itself with the base ?

Not that I know of. Out near independent planets on the fringe of Imperial space. Trianguli Sector VJ-Z A0. Dropped into one and it was the usual selection of mats so just going to move along I think.

I've definitely run into similar things, never amounted to anything with a moderate amount of investigation
That's one of few that is withing elite, some of the H2 stars out by skull and crossbones nebula are stars within this galaxy that arnt part of the milky way which i was referring to
OK, hold on tight for some more space madness, these are some very initial thoughts on Astrophel and Stella.
Published in 1591
Stella is Latin for star. Astrophel is from Greek Astro for star and phil for lover.
It has definite astronomical connotations and possible connections with other poets like Pontano writing similar poems with astronomical content around the same time
If anyone can find it, one specialist examination of this from literature is entitled:
Note the name of the author! The small part of this analysis I have seen makes an interesting note as well - "Stella is never far distant" throughout the poem.
Anyway back to the primary source, he is comparing his lover to various heavenly phenomena throughout. For example, in his "fifth song", he states:
Heh, apparently the word br---ts is verboten on the forums, it should read "thy bre-sts the milk'n way".
Hmm, now which constellation contains Cupid, and covers most of the Milky Way? Pisces.
See full description here.
And of course Venus and Cupid, who form the constellation, are lovers, like Stella and Astrophel. But of course they are both fish in Pisces, tied together with a knotted rope to swim away from the monster Typhon (could it represent the Thargoids? Or could this be an allegory inserted by The Club, representing Human-Oresrian cooperation to flee the Klaxians? Or Federation-Empire cooperation to fight the Thargoids?). If Raxxla is in Pisces, we at least have a relatively short list of major stars (in the link above) to check out. I am sure there are many more in Simbad.
But what if it is even simpler than that? Could Cupid's arrow/Stella's fingers be pointing to Raxxla? The arrow of course is not in Pisces (he's a fish there, remember?) but one version of the mythology around the constellation Sagitta has it representing Cupid's arrow: https://www.ramblers.org.uk/news/bl...es-on-spotting-sagitta-in-the-summer-sky.aspx and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagitta Some might contend that the fact that the first link ends with "aspx" is a clear indication that Raxxla can be found in Sagitta, but I think that might be stretching the science a bit too far myself. Again, some interesting Raxxla candidates mentioned in both of those links that are likely worth checking out, and some interesting variable and seasonal stellar appearances in both constellations as well (and some cool historical supernovae and the like too).
But back to the darn question, what is the arrow pointing at? Well, Gamma Sagittae is the brightest in the constellation and also the tip of the arrow, or perhaps the unnamed star just to the left of it on the first link above? Of course Gamma is not on the Galaxy Map. But when you search HD 189319, one of its many other catalog designations, voila, you discover that 12 Gamma Sagittae is in-game.
So, I dunno about you folks, but the heck with those distant dark regions for now, I'm heading to Sagitta and then likely Pisces if nothing turns up around the former constellation.
QED.

I can't answer that question, but I can tell you that nothing happens outside the base when you insert three guardian objects (mine being tablet, urn and casket). I put them in, activated the structure, and whipped outside and back in my ship in under 2 minutes. Then I flew up into the outside center part of the base. I could still hear the device buzzing inside, but no visual effects were present from outside the structure.
Right on Cmdr.... always wanted to visit Sagitta, it showed promise within my theories concerning ‘Arcadia’ where that area of the sky may be alluded to in a joust. On my to do list hope it’s an enjoyable trip.
