Is there any third party tool that will highlight when we enter a system with such body types as X (exotic star) or SmallBody (comet)? Was hoping EDDiscovery or Elite Observatory would, but now think they won’t.
The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
Don't know the first Elite, think OnePercent was the triple.
I was one of the first Elite in Exploration according to back then however Fdev would have to confirm as that's only going by Out of game tools and posts which not every player was using, Onepercent was first triple and won the 10k prize for it

I'm just recording this for my own collective memory, me, myself and I.
This is why I had to do a bit of excursion just to see if "something new" happens in Sol. First point of focus is the Pluto area (for a myriad of reasons).
- I swung by Charon for the Anaconda wreck, which gave me the Tip-off mission (even not via inbox, it just triggered).
This sent me to a rather uneventful "get a new mission at Habitat" at Dione, moon of Saturn. Here I got a new mission through scanning the DataPoint at the habitat to retrieve 9 black boxes from a Supply Cache in Wolf 359 (boxes scatter on the ground).
Retrieved and landed at Erlich City port at Mercury to deliver it.
At Mercury I noticed the two wreck POIs which I hadn't visited previously.
The only thing that stands out a nano-meter is the T9 wreck which has a um-proportionally large 'No intrusion zone' around it. Having some Military Plans & Military Intelligence and some other illegal stuff. Usually just trading items. I'll just be keeping them for later, storage.

Notice: I've been reading a lot of USS Encoded & Degraded messages in the past (years).
One thing that stand out a bit more this time is the 'very optimistic & nailed it' tone in the three signals I collected from the Habitat-search mission (Public).
I have to see if other Encrypted/Emmision Data optimistic messages is the new-normal.
Yes the 64bit ID is the number in "SystemAdress".
To go to Halley's comet:
- Go to SOL (else it won't work)
- Open Galmap and enter in search bar "Wregoe AC-D d12-22020096" without quotes.
- If it is far, use scanner to target it (concentrated signal sources, at right of unidentified signal sources frequencies)
- IF you have a spuercruise assist, you can go in without having to do a loop of shame.
For Pareco, I'll post after finishing the listing of comets in the system Medusa (28 comets for the moment, heading to the 29th...)
Well, when was that?
I was harking back to what DW reported - that DB had said something like “we know where Raxxla is and why it hasnt been found yet” (although DW only said it the once & no corroboration as far as I know). If true it might mean that nobody had at that time got the Elite rank needed to gain entry to Shinrarta, where I suspect the next clue might be.
Edit: actually first one player to Elite might well have been reported in the Newsletter!
And have they stopped producing them? Cant remember when I last received one!

Kickstarter perk Founder has permanent access to Shinrarta right from the beginning.
Some KS levels even got you to start at Jameson Memorial, already in Gamma phase.
This is interesting indeed.
Worthy note: You may have to get within 100km (fly slow) to be to get within it's influence. Otherwise it will just behave as any other 'runway zones' (like planets/statiosn that was bugged when you cant catch their influence zones)
As with the 'blue permit to drop', where the game indicates that you should be able to drop out on a POI like this, there has been bugs in the past when you did not drop ot at the correct location.
Just in case this is just one of the factors for finding anything in space:
- You can observe if you catch the influence and have a high chance of ending up in the correct drop zone if the Signal stops moving away from you.
Then you should be at the true designated drop-out zone. (Not that we expect to find comets, but who knows what else)

I think you're speaking of another method to catch them.
As we follow a signal source in the left panel, we have the higher precision when exiting supercruise.
Btw, Pareco system:

{ "timestamp":"2021-11-05T18:04:13Z", "event":"NavBeaconScan", "SystemAddress":3034117572971, "NumBodies":1 }I'm just questioning "if we drop out correctly sometimes" if the signal is flying away from us, to ensure having a higher chance at actually dropping out at something.
When we had 'runaway signals' it was clear that the stations / objects just kept flying away from us if we couldn't "arrest the signal" when in supercruise. I know, those were bugs, but I always wait until "the signal has been arrested" so to speak.

Bah, the newsletters archive seem to have been removed, my bookmark doesnt work any more.
But at least the first 53 are still available elsewhere!

Double damn! Those links no longer work either!!!!!!

Newsletter Archive - Complete List
Hello All, I got to looking for some old newsletters and found out there isn't a good archive listing of them. So, instead of playing today, the day before release, I decided to put together a list for everyone. Please let me know if I missed any or if these are broken and I will fix them...
Double damn! Those links no longer work either!!!!!!

Mmm, thanks but I’m no programmer!
What I dont understand is how to go from the body you’re trying to select, in this case “Halley’s Comet” , to “Wregoe AC-D d12-22020096”, and how you calculate this string for any other body of interest.
Why can’t you just type into the search bar “Halley’s Comet” or the body ID (10477373803 for Sol+21 for Halley’s Comet=10477373824, https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-to-find-raxxla.168253/post-9726705).
Apparently you can enter ”Halley’s Comet”, but I don’t know if it is then targeted if you enter the system https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-to-find-raxxla.168253/post-9590496).
Mind I’ve not yet tried any of this ingame!
Edit: mmm, looking at http://disc.thargoid.space/ID64, the bodyID is the most significant 9 bits of the ID64, not the least significant as I’d assumed.

I'm not pro programmer, i just use the spreadsheet to list potential interesting systems (bodies & non-bodies though i still don't understant the last one).
I dont seem to be able to access Pyroboros’ spreadsheet, but then I’m having ipad browser problems.
The ID64 definition is here http://disc.thargoid.space/ID64.
Some of the fields are variable width, depending on the system mass value, but that is all taken care of in the system body value (which is given in the journal file). The bodyID needs to be added starting at the 55th bit, so for Pareco comet 1 (bodyID=1) then the ID64 value for that comet is
1*2^55+3034117572971 (since 3034117572971 is the Pareco system value)=36031831136536939 (so I’ve read)
For Pareco comet 2 (bodyID=2) the ID64 value would be
2*2^55+3034117572971 = 72060628155500907
But my calculator doesnt handle those size of values to check!
(Edit: downloaded a free scientific/programmers calculator & this does indeed check out ok!)
If anyone is near Pareco it would be interesting to see if
a) typing Pareco comet 1 in galmap search box selects the comet position when in-system
b) ditto but try typing 36031831136536939 instead.

Depending on how many non-bodies and bodies you have, I just grabbed the search string for you here using his spreadsheet.

Many thanks!
But was more interested in understanding the mechanism behind this search string
Maybe I can help explain someMany thanks!
But was more interested in understanding the mechanism behind this search string
So first off, I generally play on Xbox, and Pryrobros search mechanism doesn't work on Xbox or Horizons PC due to the old galmap interface still being used. That's confirmed, so trying will lead to failure. Experienced myself.
As for how the search actually works.
You need to start with the 64bit system ID, not the systems ingame name, as many systems have their names changed manually but their 64bit ID is still kept the same, so that's how you get Wregoe AC-D d12 instead of Sol for the system name, Wregoe AC-D d12 was the proc-gen name for the system, and then you need its system ID number (get from EDSM or logs).
This is how you solve the issue of star class, renamed/custom named systems/regions, ect....
Once you have the ID number, cmdr Pyroboros sheet, does the math required to clac out the body id's within the system.
The rest is self explained, search from within the system already, this is to be able to target the body instead of the main star. Then just SC Assist to the location, done.
Hopefully that helps explain things more.
But yes, you need to get his sheet, and I also had trouble getting it, you may want to try another device or another browser, I had to open it on my Laptop not my android phone for it to open correctly and save before I could move it to my phone.

I had pb too thr first time but we have to download a copy then either change the application (excel or calc for open office) or change every functions called "ShiftLeft" something into the function defined in your language.Maybe I can help explain some

Yea that too, idk how to explain that part correctly though...
For me, when I opened the sheet on my PC Excel, it gave me a pop-up notice that some formulas were incorrect and a symbol was added/changed too @ i believe....
All I did was go to each cell that had a ref error or null or some error, and checked the formula for any extra @ symbols that were in the wrong place/not referencing anything... turns out I just had to delete like 3 total @ symbols from different cells, and the formulas worked fine....
not sure what the issue actually is between different 'english' languages, but it works so
