Hoag's Object

It doesn't, because there is no evidence that Raxxla in the game. Zero. Nada. None.

It's all been hearsay, people dropping enigmatic hints that could mean anything, and people making tenuous connections between things and running away with it. I guess it'd actually be an interesting study in social manipulation, how they got a community following shadows and myths and got them to dig their own huge rabbithole in a quest to find something that isn't even there.
Someone's either mad that others are on the same trail or just really lonely. You've said your part. We're happy you 'don't believe' . It seems to imply an amount of insecurity though that you need to convince others of your opinion on something that 'doesn't exist', Interesting.....

As a user of tinfoil I endorse these and any other views.

Hoag's Object - Its the second word that's got me reaching for the kitchen draw. Suppose the reference is to an object in our galaxy, that once found helps a pilot get to Hoag's?

Oh, Hoag's is also Wheel shaped and if you look at the inner ring (not the core or outer star ring), its quite Dark. Just saying....

That was true, right up until the Codex was introduced to the game, which added an entire chapter of lore about Raxxla. Prior to that, there wasn't a single in-game reference to it, and one could equally well argue that it was just retconned lore and fan-fiction. But its addition to the Codex gives it the air of authenticity. After all, nobody made them write the Raxxla and Dark Wheel entries; the Codex works perfectly fine without them.

Now, there's an entire chapter in the real-world encyclopedia about Atlantis, and Atlantis doesn't exist and never existed, at least not in the form that the myth stipulates. But it does prove that Atlantis is a legitmate myth, and that there are "kernels of truth" that eventually led to the creation of the Atlantis myth (the Thera eruption that destroyed the Minoan civilization, and the sinking of the city of Helike).

I think there is something denoted as "Raxxla" in the game. I don't know what it is, but I don't think Raxxla is going to be anything mind-blowingly awesome like a super-advanced base or a gateway to another galaxy, or whatever other wonders people might believe in. The "reality of Raxxla" is going to disappoint many, just as the "reality of Atlantis" disappoints, and the "reality of the Formidine Rift" disappointed.

The dataminers would only find something lurking in the game client if it has a client-side component to it. If Raxxla does exist in game, but is defined entirely on the server-side, then there wouldn't be any sort of "smoking gun" to point to in the client data, unfortunately.

You think game engine can get information online? I don't know of evidence that this engine can render something not in game files.
 
Any specialized 3D assets would need to be in the client, yes, but their placement, color choice, name, etc, are all server-side. It could be something as simple as a space station, or abandoned settlement, or just a named planet, and we won't know until someone went there and reported it.

Hope you brought a shovel because, as it is, there is a 2nd Hoag's Object found IRL inside the original. A wheel within a wheel?🤷‍♂️
 
O7 Cmdr nice theory.

I know this has been referred to by others, but maybe this would have been best posted to the tin-foil appreciative thread over at Thread 'The Quest To Find Raxxla'.

As a theory I feel there is something here, primarily based on the assumption that if Raxxla; or something else was is in game, or was accessible outside of being narrative driven, and was, since launch of importance, and not (at that time) nought but an Easter egg, then it stands to reason it should have its own intro music as you entered the system?

So if it were a big deal at launch, and had its own specific track introduction, then it stands to reason if we can identify the correct musical track we can look for where said track may be within game.

Namely - has anyone heard all these tracks in-game, if so where. If all but a few are absent, why, and which are they, and how many are there. Then at least that could help drill it down and identify anything peculiar.

For that reason alone I feel the Cmdrs idea has some legs, but as posted elsewhere, there are other tracks whose elements don’t exist in our galaxy as well, so the primary question is, why do you think this above all is a candidate?

The correlation with the constellations is valid but again, you have gone off maybe into a rabbit hole, due to interpretational bias, and not applying enough comparisons (see above); as anything really can be attributed to constellations, if you dig deep enough into history.

Not to say that’s not a valid enough reason, we Raxxla hunters tinfoil because we know we have nothing to go by, but when you do have the slimmest glint of an romantic idea, that can give you a star to fly by; it can give you inspiration, it can give you a reason to explore.

Personally my own assumptions are that Raxxla was, at the time of launch at least, not a big deal to FD and at most, a narrative driven element which hasn’t come to pass yet and probably won’t for a few more years, this is only an assumption made by my reading between the lines of the statements made by FD and playing devils advocate, as I do feel many of us may have misinterpreted much of what FD have stated, due to the limited amount of evidence provided; it’s a perfect case of apophenia.

Question again, what do the other tracks relate to as well, do they have more weight to them than this one, compare / contrasts. Maybe you need to back-cast or even seek clarity from the original musical artist? Without data-diving is there a way to identify musical tracks within the game code?

Thank you cmdr. Well said. Too be fair, I haven't listed all my "links" or ideas on the matter. At the least, the soundtrack intrigues me. When I you listen to it, it does have a very "you found something" aura to it. That seems peculiar due to the fact that's it's not in the galaxy nor can be seen in the skybox of the game. I don't think the composer would have any knowledge of where or if raxala exists. When Drew Wagar wrote his bit for the game, they didn't give him any secret information. Only just what he needed. As for what one cmdr said about the mythology....many civilizations have looked to the stars and created MANY myths....saying one myth is more valid than another is kinda ludicrous. We don't know what myths are used....if any. That's the fun....looking, searching, connecting. You can look up on Google the aoundtrack ...many ARE tracks of discovery, some are very battle music or other different matters. I will make a comparable/ contrast list for you. It will take a bit. This anamoly called "real life" slows me down a bit sometimes....

Yep. All it needs to be undetectable by data miners is to be built solely out of existing assets, and have its position stored either server-side only or as a deep consequence of stellar forge generation (data miners have not managed to reverse engineer stellar forge to find ELWs on demand, and that is entirely client side, after all)

My theory is that in terms of visual appearance it's hiding in plain sight as the "toast rack" asset on stations - there's no real point to it being on the stations, but if there was one on its own in deep space it would look a bit like the gateway Raxxla allegedly is. (It wouldn't even need to do anything once discovered - "how do we activate Raxxla" could be the next mystery if it was discovered "too early")

No-one data-mined the Zurara out of the game either (back when it was just an Anaconda), despite that search having rather more people actually looking rather than sharing random tinfoil ideas.
