RAXXLA: Official statement from FD ?

[Riverside]

The popular concensus is that you'd have to be Elite in combat to gain access to Raxxla because combat was the only measure of "rank" in the Original Elite.

But there are two combat ranks in ED

Found it!!!

Oh wait....

Three if you count forum PvP!

This was a fun thread to follow even if it was a bust.

I mean, imagine if it wasn't for naught...

Is that sarcasm. I can't figure out where it starts or how to take part..

The best player initiatives have been without any way to join... Most start on the forum or discord, or sometimes reddit, and progress despite FDev rather than with them.

Yeah I enjoyed the brief thrill of the chase. One day one of these leads might go somewhere & if it turned out I was in a position to follow it up & didn't I know I'd wish I had. So I did

But only one existed back in Jason Ryder's era.

Im gonna say that what happened with this thread about "finding draxxla" was a very toxic post indeed in several levels!

Now, i am 34 jumps away from that system using max jump range, wich in my case on the ASPX is 64Ly, and i was tempeted to do it, and even changed my direction heading there, but, but i didnt had the time to do all jumps and investigate myself, and wont be going now since others have done it already, but i say this is "toxic" because...

This as left some things floating around that arent good for the game at all, since a "conspiracy theory" has arisen, that probrably he did found it and that FD simply shut him up and nerfed the system and Raxxla is no longer there... As bogus as this is, it will make some ppl think that they actually did it, and that is not good.
Also the fact the post got moderated pretty quick doesnt help rebate that.

But hell, its funny to see all the comution around this issue... Says alot about the lore this subject has in the game.

If i was to predict anything (tinfoild hat on), would be that Draxxla is gonna be found next year, right before or soon after the grand 2020 update as a means of implementing stuff, and moving the narrative foward, probrably the adition of a totally new galaxy to explore...

Guys, guys...no wonder we've yet to find it! We've been spelling it wrong all along! That's, like, toxic and stuff.

Draxxla.

I have that one covered. Technically it's feasible but I don't think it's likely that either the current game or even Frontier the company would connect my earning that badge 35 years ago to my current Frontier account.

It's unlikely, true... but I wouldn't put it past them.

Dont worry, I cant tell either.

Count Draxxla the Legendary Space Vampire sounds like a cool anime

So... as in the other legend, we need to go beyond the braintree forest... (transylvania)

The point is that "Combat" (as opposed to CQC) was the criteria by which, historically, a person was judged worthy of entrance to Raxxla.

Course, there's nothing to say that the entrance requirements for Raxxla haven't changed in the intervening centuries.
Maybe, in 3305, the entry requirements for Raxxla are that you have to be flying a Cobra Mk4?

Think of the salt that'd generate!

I'm good with Draxxla.

Just another box I can tick

I'm starting to feel like the chosen one

CQC is in the books, therefore a part of the official canon.

I don't see what the fuss is about... I found it about a month ago, built both a land base and a submarine base, have been flitting about in my skimmer farming mats for my Frieghter....

Oh, wait.... this isn't the NMS forum

 

[Siobhan]

I found a postcard of Raxxla in the fridge of my free conda:
Does that count?

Potentially... does it have a postmark to show where it was posted... we need to track it down. Also... party in picommander's 'conda tonight... It's parked at Dark Wheel station, just outside Raxxla, in case anyone's having trouble finding it.
