The Quest To Find Raxxla

Welcome aptare. :)
I'm in the ballpark of many 'gut-feelings' too, and they change all the time. SD, Sol, Sirius, Polaris, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Pleiades, locked regions, Chutulu (HP Lovecraft), Pluto, Pink Floyd ... new day, new lunch & articles. New hunches.

Nobody is wrong nor right as far as we know.
We have something like 400 billion possibilities, right? :D
Until we find "THAT concrete clue" that tells us in which direction to look.

And we've only been at it for 7 years.

Welcome to the madness. Have a biscuit with us :)

Maybe the real Raxxla was the friends we made along the way

By the way tho, since we don’t truly know anything as you said all we can really do is search as hard as possible for stuff. Atm im going to try and race to become Elite so I can search through the system and see if there’s anything there.

Ah, don’t race, take your time and enjoy the journey. If you want to get elite quickly then I’d recommend going the exploration route. There’s a few useful documents on the web & watch

His tutorials are all good. There is also a guide to rapid engineering on the web.

Ah, don’t worry, I’m going the exploration route: when I get home today I’m gonna take my 38 LY range Anaconda and hit the road.

Yes welcome Cmdr, all are welcome here.

Anything is possible, but remember to begin at the beginning but not at the end, don’t be too keen to follow that rabbit down it’s hole and try at least to back up your ramblings, at least to enable us to follow you along your own trail of space madness.

This is a game. Raxxla exists, apparently, we’re almost certainly in agreement it’s discoverable…maybe.

Its possible the solution is starring us directly in the face and is very obvious so a new perspective is welcome.

Well, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to share my theories!

even if some of them are absolutely insane

Hi there, my fellow Raxxla nerds. I’ve been reading your new posts compulsively for a day or so, and I feel compelled to join the quest.

In that vein, I would state that I am in agreement with others that state the Dark Wheel is pivotal to finding Raxxla, and I do believe that Shinrarta Dezhra is potentially the most important single system in connection with this: and there is most likely some hidden clue there.

Welcome to the Tinfoil Life, CMDR!

You'll find that feelings and theories, quests and routes towards Raxxla (yours, and other CMDR's) will change on a whim, or with some seemingly random piece of information, revelation or trivia!

Embrace it! Sooner or later, we'll find our way :D

Like you, and many others, I feel that Shinrarta Dezhra has a role to play in all of this, and I too am out in the Galaxy, on my way to Exploration Elite.

Heading out 10k ly to Rho Cassiopiae because it tangentialy relates to the quest - 'The Mother of Galaxies'.

To Shinrarta Dezhra, Raxxla, and beyond!

System with a technical wormhole and I am back at it again having a mess around, the only system iv found or seen where you basically have to jump through a blackhole to its neighbor which doesn't have a Blackhole but same star name is a Neutron

Greetings all!

I've been stuck IRL and haven't been able to contribute much to the quest for a while, so I've continued my trawl of legacy video steams to see if we might have overlooked something whilst unable to launch into the black.

2.2 Release Celebration - ~7 minute mark, DB mentions that some sharp eyed people noticed some frames in the original trailer which has been fixed (removed?).
Source: https://youtu.be/9wZvsPerJD4

MB discusses the trailer and they replay at 1:04.31, and I assume it's guardians they're inferring about. Anyone have any recollection of this, or an original copy of the trailer, it was 5 years ago?!

If this is only focused on guardians, perhaps it's nothing. But DB was interviewed with SD station interior behind him...

Such a pity FD never thought of implementing such ‘content’ themselves.

It asks the question, why FD had such a limited scope of the imagination at launch, because it does supposedly go against the perception presented, through much of the ‘proposed’ concepts, which were, prior to launch, far more interesting than what we were eventually given.

To launch a game with SO much astronomical content (some not fully implemented) and not provide tools (relevant to the future technology). Speaks to me of a very pragmatic methodology of thinking.

Which is why I have always held onto the impression that if Raxxla is accessible, then it will be relatively close to Sol and discoverable via normal means, and nothing truly Herculean is required to find it, expect for us to simply ‘look’ in the more simplistic of methods.

This irks me, as it too challenges theories, such as DB saying (allegedly) that it would take multiple players to find?

What mechanisms exist (existed) in game that required multiple Cmdr’s to activate?

The only thing I can think of are community goals… when did these first raise their heads, was it after the older DW missions?

Were the older DW mission some unconfirmed silent community goal mechanism, which simply required enough Cmdrs to ‘unlock’… but it was bugged, or players simply didn’t play in the way FD wanted?

I am still bruised by how FD simply removed the older DW missions. So much inconsistency really bakes my noodle.

Why would FD not want to confirm those missions were removed from game?

I was only able to get that confirmed I suppose as a fluke, or just asking the right question….

Those missions were going somewhere. Why not tell players they were removed! What does that reveal???

I am of the impression FD didn’t really put a great deal of effort into Raxxla, that MB had set something in motion but it was broken, or got broken, or overlooked, but then removed and then put back in but, somewhere else…which doesn’t really change anything I know, just an old Cmdr having a grump, looking for some sign this isn’t just part of their 10 year narrative.

With regard to the Founder/Elite missions, my personal take on it is that FD likely severely underestimated the rate at which people would become Elite, and the sheer volume of people doing so.

I mean, it’s been a joke for ages how easy it is to get Elite ranks and it’s only been getting worse. I had to go out of my way to avoid getting Elite in exploration from activities that, frankly, aren’t exploration. And that was pre-3.3.

The problem in many ways is that the rank has become heavily disassociated with actually being good at it, and has instead become about riding on the back of other people’s hard work (following guides, using out of game tools, etc, etc.).

I would argue that it has gone so far that the rank has had its meaning inverted and the probability is that if someone has an Elite rank then didn’t really earn it, and they’re not actually very good at that thing.

The point is that anything that was originally designed around Elite meaning Elite, and it being something that very few people achieved, will have needed to have a fairly major rethink.

(What it would be replaced with is a whole other matter of course, and a lack of immediately viable options may well explain why the Founder/Elite missions never seem to have be re-instated.)

IIRC it was either a preview if thargoids or a treasure hunt, but I think goids

I may need some help to understand what is going on.
Sol. Charon. Crashed Anaconda.
  • Landed on Charon, approached the Crashed Anaconda.
  • Heard a black box signal (voice).
  • Approached it with my SRV. It was underground (bug?). Could not entirely hear the message. Could not scan it with data-link. It was targetable, it was listed in contacts in the SRV.

Then I:
  • Tried relogging while in the SRV, to get the black box to spawn in correctly.
  • Problem: Now the Black Box was missing and not spawning.
  • Several game restarts, no change.

Then:
- I noticed in my SRV Navigation list two things:
1. "Crashed Anaconda 50m" POI
2. "Search Zone : Habitation: 23,743ls"

Is this a known Inbox mission? Something regular in the Sol system?
I have not accepted nor received any missions while being here.

I think that’s one of the tip off missions.

Anyone successfully activated the thargoid map room recently? I've tried twice and it crashed each time, after placing the sensor and link. Haven't lost the probe yet, thankfully, but this is still pretty annoying.

I’m intrigued by these invisible comets. Can one type, for example, Halley’s comet, Pareco comet 1 or Pareco comet 2 into the galmap search bar to target select it?

Or do we have to use the 64bit ID?

Is that 64bit ID given in the journal file when we enter a system? Is it the “SystemAddress"? E.g. apparently Shinrarta has "SystemAddress":3932277478106 from https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-to-find-raxxla.168253/post-9748589
Because the example I saw to calculate it wouldnt work for a named system since it required the XX-X designation in the system name.

Edit: ah no, only works for some comets. And need to use the stellarforge generated system name, not the given name...
