State of the Game

Well, if Raxxla was found but not named Raxxla how would anyone know it was Raxxla?
how indeed.. but the idea that eddb would have it because they have most of the named systems doesn't have any connection to raxxla. there is no evidence that raxxla is named ...and plenty of evidence that nothing identifying anything that has been checked out is raxxla (and eddb would contain just things that have been checked out).

if raxxla is in the game, it would not be discoverable from any kind of meta data gleamed from the sources that people have been trying to utilize for years. it's not in the data there. so it's useless for the search for raxxla. about as useless as searching for raxxla in general is.
 
except raxxla as a named system or planet doesn't exist at all...
Where has that been established? I admit I'm probably ignorant. I only just started my second year of Elite Dangerous a few weeks back.
so what would make raxxla be within eddb if eddb is more complete on named systems? which has already been established, raxxla is not.
I'll accept this argument once my lawyers have told me that THEY understand it... ;)
 
Reading in another thread that the pay from exploration is poor...

But, I did have to do a few LY to get there, I suppose...

you can search for the names of stellar objects in the galaxy map. anything actually named that would show up (except back when it would also crash the system sometimes).

Now granted, they could have purposely ignored the text "raxxla" despite it actually being named that... but such a thing would be a very poor way to hide something you dont want to be found except by someone really out to find it. not just some person honking a system or passing thru.

so it's extremely reasonable to assume that the galaxy map not finding it means it's just not named raxxla in the map. It would be incredibly stupid of fdev to have a lost/missing thing actually labeled and located. Sure it wouldn't be the first time they goofed. .. but that would be pretty bad.
 
By that logic, Raxxla should be in there too. Did you search for that?

Of course not.... Why, that would be unthinkable :eek:

As many of the self-professed 'explorers' I read posting on the forum have about as much imagination as the average rock...

by what logic do you think raxxla is named raxxla and yet still not found?
Years ago the first discovered information wasn't visible in game so Michael Brooks raided the database to let CMDR's know how many discoveries they had made to date - 3rd February 2015.

CMDR Mack put together a searchable list here: http://dump.bass-speaker.com/discovery.php
And by CMDR name here : http://dump.bass-speaker.com/chart.php
(yay for my 12 bodies in 4 systems using my starter cobra :cool: )

Crucially this is data from the FD database and doesn't rely on running EDDB or similar so is complete.

The rumour that raxxla has been flown through dates from 8th July 2014 so it is highly likley that the star is in this list and it will have been scanned and logged as a first discovered automatically.
 
bodies are searchable just the same as system names, and the rumor that someone honked the system has never been substantiated.

No more substantiated than the hint during one of the live streams that searching roid belts is the "right track" for searching for raxxla.

Relax, take a DEEP breath. Let it go........
