It wasn't in ED 1.0. To be honest it's a fair point though, the fourth Elite rank may have been in the planning stage before the game was released to players.

FD already changed stuff around TDW (old SAP-8 missions at Jameson Memorial), what makes you believe that they didn't touch anyting since 1.0?

To prevent us from finding it too soon? To better fit it in in the current galaxy? To give it a better narrative? I can only speculate about FDev's intentions and motives...
Quite... it used to make sense...
The Dark Wheel wouldn't even talk to you til you reached Elite, and previously they were in the one system where the permit lock was to be Elite.
Then things changed, and now The Dark Wheel faction in SD are no longer the REAL Dark Wheel...
Maybe Raxxla was intended to be in SD, but they forgot to model it until it was too late, and now they decided to move it and TDW elsewhere.
Maybe I'm talking out of my backside too, so take it all with a few kilos of salt.

Stealthie covered this earlier in the thread. Hacker-types look for changes in the files, and have not found a reference to these mysteries (if they had I'm confident the news would quickly propagate). So it makes sense that if Raxxla is in the game it was in from the beginning (which lines up with what FDev have said about it).
I am sure you're right... but it does make for a comfy conspiracy theory, and I know we all love those around these parts.Then it was never the real dark wheel. And we missed the mark.
to have spent ANY dev time on it at all and then leave it unused for years would be an absolutely stupid business move. Every other feature FDev spent time developing has all but been forced down our throats.
At best its an ingame placeholder. At worst its an ingame placeholder thats permit locked.

These constant conspiracy theories are one of the reasons I've been playing ED less.
I kinda' like to know exactly what content is available thanks, and, I'd like to know how to access it.
Voting with my wallet. No skins or anything purchased for a long time now. Not until FD gives us more worthwhile content.
They have a product to sell, and right now they're not doing a good job TBH.

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.
Ke Ke Ke!
Got me there!

Maybe the thread was taken down (pretty quickly for FD !) because it is not yet possible to discover Raxxla by in-game means. Or maybe he did find it fairly ..... and FD removed what was discoverable quickly.
There was a rumor that the system where it was located had been discovered previously (I don't know if that came from FD or ''those in the know") but that Raxxla itself had not been found. That might tie in with what Cmdr Flavius was saying about a previous discovery.
Too many mights and maybes, unfortunately. Anyway, Cmdr Flavius certainly rose to fame quickly .... and has disappeared.

If I'd had an ADS on board arguably I might not have tagged the whole system because I'd probably have just headed straight for the gas giant.
I'm going to go with the obvious and assume flavius and lightspeed are connected.... 8\
It's a bit obvious with how he keep supporting the subject. Pretty lame attempt at trolling. Or whatever the point is.
It's like watching a not so smart sith try to slowly infalntrate a goverment and not be obvious.
Is there something people are gaining by doing this. Besides forum fame? There must be some motive for some people to do this. It's a little odd it's coming out of nowhere like this. Is it more than boredom? Is there something I'm missing?!

If it turns out that Raxxla has been a "placeholder" until it has become a reality ingame, just like the ADS has been a placeholder untill the (imho) crappy FSS has been implemented, then I would be more than happy to have had ED shelved for months. Last disappointment was enough, for me. Thank you.
I've been away for almost 4 years because of the crappy PP, this time I'll be gone forever.
I'd guess its a "no smoke without fire" thing. That said, I'm skeptical... Every other big discovery gets YouTube video, reddit commentary and a fluff piece in Massively, this has... a rant about how FD made a thread disappear...
None of us signed an NDA for discoveries, so I suspect there's little to see.
There was no need to remove the ADS, it offers no advantage not countered simply by it occupying a slot. That others do not like it & want an alternative is fine, but there was no need to remove the old modules. AFAIK it is unprecedented to remove existing functionality without justification, and four years into the game it should be very good justification.
