Not sure if this is the correct section to put this in but here goes.
I've read where some people don't think Raxxla is actually in the game; they think it will be patched in. They data mine and can't find any reference. I'd like to say that that doesn't mean a whole lot. There are 400 billion stars (there or thereabouts) in the Milky Way of the Elite Dangerous universe. For those on PC, if you look at your elite-dangerous-64 folder, the main game folder under your products folder and right click on it, the reported size, as of this writing, is 19.9 GB. That's 19.9 billion bytes. That's a far cry from 400 billion.
They've also said concerning Raxxla that there will be no clues, although according to the Elite Dangerous Wiki, Michael Brooks did say "I think you have to make some of it a tiny bit obvious so the players know what they are doing."
I can guarantee you that Raxxla can be in the game without there being any reference that a human can read in the game files. And yes, I know, they had the Barnacles there. I think they had the Barnacles in there just as a teaser, knowing people would data mine. They didn't have to have them named where a human could read it.
