I'll watch the whole videos. Both for best idea of specifics of location and its better for yt algorithm
The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
I wasn't aware there was an example of it happening outside of Orrery, in every video I've watched so far the green glow has appeared about 1 second after the map was closed. Thanks for clarifying!
That's why I was wondering about different locations in the belt.
If this is kind of a map and the three arcs are the belt, there could be three 'open lanes' for the green light?
Just some speculation. The 'map' could represent something completely different.
It is interesting that there are 33 dashes in the original Raxxla logo and 32 asteroid belt sectors in Sol. Tinfoil stuff here, but the background is also green.
Assuming you're correct, if we look at the map from above: Sol is in the center with a targeting reticle around it, surrounded by an asteroid belt with 33 sectors, which is then surrounded by... something. Hyperlanes? Points of interest? Sector indicators?
Worth considering.
Howdy CMDRs,
Has anyone tried dropping from SC the very instant they experience "the green glow"?
And, where are the main bodies of the asteroid belt? I mean, Ceres, Pallas and Eris are bigger than a lot of other solar orbital bodies that are also present in Sol system map, and each and every one of them a perfect place for Raxxla. I wonder if FD was lazy and didn't code them in or they were hidden on purpose. And if the latter is true, how can anyone find them?

Ah, no ... I've been lazy in my combat rank effort so am only 'Master' at the moment. However I've done plenty of Wing assassination missions solo in my Vette but won't help here if I can’t get the mission in the first place!
This is certainly something FDev could track as a subtle test of skill discretely administered, and hence a lock out progress towards an Invite for TDW.
Has anyone received this mission type from TDW in another system?
Edit: - Re-read the message, it's trade rank which I am Elite in... so we'll see.

I guess that's close enough.
It's also the Alchemy-symbol for gold.
You guys should start some serious Excel- by cross-referencing your position in the Sol-system with the timestamp at which the green glow occured.
There might be a periodicity when the green glow is visible at certain positions.
If you can calculate a period, then you can check the period against the rotation period of all bodies. Then it's either a ground-based "laser pointer" or its a geostationary satellite.
Also what is the duration of the green glow? Is it the same duration for everyone? Or do some people have very short durations and others have long durations? It's also possible that the short durations are not noticed.
Yes, in one of my vids you’ll see I dropped out of SC when I had the glow (& suffered some hull damage); the glow was still visible in the cockpit but faded very quickly.
Edit: maximum duration I've seen for the glow is 6 seconds.

Yes, it’s interesting that it’s about the same colour green as the glow I’ve seen, and when I encounter an “asteroid cluster” in the bottom sector the orrery view appears that I’ve instantaneously jumped round to the sector at top 45 degrees left. Must put up my numbering scheme! And maybe overlay this icon!! So perhaps these apparent jumps aren’t just a bug- perhaps they’re intentional in Sol and it’s a bug that they happen in other systems? I’ll check my scribbling to see if I recorded the other apparent jumps I experienced while travelling around the belt.
Perhaps Raxxla exists in Sol in a pocket of folded space-time created by a wormhole (or the wormhole is in folded space-time and leads to Raxxla) and incidentally all significant portions of the asteroid belt have been swallowed up by it as well. This would (hypothetically) explain the green glow, the missing asteroids in the belt and the space-time anomaly that seems like teleportation between the sectors of the belt.

Guys, I think everything is clear.
The Raxxla logo is a map.
But we don't know what the brackets around the sun are.
This can be a scanner selection or three command ships standing in the path of the green light.
And again, we don't know when or why this green glow appears.
In general, this theory correlates with the old FD statements on the topic that you need to scan something and you need to be in the wing.

Going off the simple diagram above, if correct it may indicate that 3 paths are blocked and another 3 paths are open!

Here's the sysmap with my sector numbering.

Wasted over an hour trying to overlay it onto the Raxxla icon in Gimp!
I don't have a graphical/artistic bone in my body!
it was visible on the forum but now isn't, but the link is clickable to bring it up
Mmm, just looking through some Postit notes - apparently "briefly jumped" from sector 26 to 7, & did twice see green glow in cockpit around sector 26 or 27, no date but must have been in December.

At this stage, we can't determine how to rotate the Raxxla logo so that it matches the sector you marked. We don't know the orientation. We need to find the position of two more green rays at least to correlate the logo with the real map. I am 100% sure that in the end there will be six rays (and I dare say that one will come from Whitchspace, but that's another theory).Here's the sysmap with my sector numbering.

we've now had reports of glows at sectors 15/16, 27 and 21. These all match the "corridoors" in the unrotated logo.
Interesting!
I recorded seeing "asteroid cluster" at sectors: 21, 17, 6, 15, 8, 11, 19, 5, 19 & 6. (edit: that was sometime after I started circling the belt, when I started to think something strange was happening and started to log some notes, unfortunately only on scrappy PostIt notes)
One record shows a "positional jump" from sector 23 to 3.

Took a screen grab and popped these into MS Publisher - you can set transparency and move images around.Here's the sysmap with my sector numbering. Source: https://imgur.com/Tv7RSKq

I've been able to do it (cant post image off my out of date phone), and there are various ways where it aligns, but without knowing where to align, not sure how reliant ithis would be. There are several possible alignments, need more data, I think we're on the right heading.

I would suggest just set the sysmap numbered sector image to semi-transparent and overlay it onto the Raxxla icon & that will help us to decide. I suspect no rotation is required.
Yes it alligns pretty well. But you can expand or contract the image, but which is the correct alignment. The 3 arcs, the inner hexagon or the outer hexagon.
Currently at work so cant really post more than this.
I think the outer haxagon-that should allow us to better understand how the sectors in the sysmap relate to the positional jumps/asteroid clusters/green glow locations.
There are advantages to being retired. Not least that being woken up by the cat crying at the bedroom door at 04:30 doesn't result in me biting off the heads of nearby colleagues.
But I still have RL stuff to do unfortunately!!....
