Comms being interdicted? Security of these channels could be compromised. Somebody must have ignored the standard procedure of wearing high grade tinfoil-alloy at all times. I would reboot the navigation computer and stay concealed in the far corners of the galaxy for at least two weeks.

Apologies - I wasn't implying that it would be lore - just that that's where the 'spectrogram' information came from, if it did.
Yep sorry, Doc, It's me, merged it with my earlier one.
Oh good. I haven't lost my mind (and it wasn't Big Brother).
No apology necessary. My comment wasn't meant to imply anything at all. I just wanted to weigh in so that, six months from now when someone starts reading every comment on the thread they don't hit something on an unnecessary wild goose chase.
It was. Bear in mind Raxxla has never been mentioned in any of the three games, and there's people who have done serious data-mining on all the old ones and there's no planet, object, system or anything called Raxxla. It's not in any of the missions or in-game journals that I could find. This site and similar ones are pretty good for info on the FE2 for example: https://www.sharoma.com/frontierverse/rumours.htm
Essentially Raxxla is only (that I'm aware of ) in TDW, and has never actually been in-game until now. The comments by MB and DB confirming it's in ED (in some way) is the first time that I'm aware of that it's ever been officially confirmed.
Of course, there's always the usual - "It might not be called Raxxla in any previous game", and since both FFE and FE2 has a few million stars then it's possible it was out there (but as what, it's impossible to know, and other than blindly stumbling over it there seems to be no path that leads there).
I'm aware that people have and do hack the code of Elite Dangerous, that's how some things have been discovered already (certain permit locked single systems in the middle of no-where for example), and how certain other things are suspected to have been found - but still, no-one's found Raxxla. That means it's almost certainly not as easy as just finding a planet named Raxxla currently.
Am i the only one who thinks about the possible article Galnet will run if and/or when Raxxla is eventually found? How would they even respond to its discovery? WOULD they even respond? Would the Club do something?
Haha, spot on! Yes, if we can reduce the insanity that Raxxla brings it can only be a good thing.
Technically speaking, I feel as though we're already on a wild goose chase - but when we go off on a tangent, we're on a wild goose chase chasing a wild goose chase... If that makes sense...
Nonsense!
Most of the geese here are quite tame and are willing to feed on any crumb, seed or rat pellet tossed their way!
When the geese appear hostile perhaps it is merely a natural avian reaction to your aggressive homindal waving of wings and nasty honkings!
[this is very very rude in goose]
Keep your arms to your sides and smack your beak like a chimp smacking peanut butter off its upper pallet, the geese will become accepting.
[this is goose for "do not run, I am your friend']
Then again perhaps "Goose Chase" is a clue in and of itself?

Lets look at the facts gentleman.
If it's here, and I'm working on the presumption it is and that it's discover-able, than we have been doing it wrong the whole time.
What can be done different? What is missing? What has not been done?

In fairness, for it to be possible to do via finding a planet called Raxxla, then it would have to be known as such to UC / the PF / your ships Navcom. Which would kind of need the folks on Raxxla to have an arrangement in place with UC, etc. that the big flashing 'this is Raxxla' sign pops up if you scan the planet. Which would be a kind of odd thing for them to do.
Last night I decided to go as heavy on the tin-foil as I could manage.
I found myself headed to each star in Orion's Belt. The belt consists of three stars, Alnitak, Mintaka, and Alnilam.
Working off of the claim in TAW that the Oisir founded Egypt and that the pyramids were a part of the machine to create the gateway, this made me think of the link of the Great Pyramids and the Orions Belt connection. The Pyramids at Giza are claimed to be the physical representation of Orions Belt. Three pyramids, three stars, in mathematical harmony. This is called the Orion Correlation Theory.
This also made me think of how easy it is to gain ally status with Sirius by using Explorer data over say doing bounties or trade. Sirius likes explorer data. Can this be tied together?
Alnitak and Mintaka are very close to one another and Alnilam is very far off set from the two, roughly 1300Ly if I recall. To get to Alnilam you have to go very far out of your way and back the way you came to get around Barnards Loop, which mysteriously sits in the center of the belt, permit locked and it appears that Thargoids live in there given the Col 70 Sector is also a part of that locked region.
Hmmmm, a giant set of nebulas explode out of space in the center of Orions Belt? There'r pyramids that're part of the machine to open portals and The pyramids are a physical representation of the Orions belt? You're saying aliens live in there?
Yes, Yes and Yes.
This should be dinging bells for people. The Egyptians and their connection to the stars is famous and something of legend. I don't think bells ding for people because many of us are mentally trying to work within IRL factors and ideas on limitations and possibilities.
At first you might be like
"You're going off the deep end bud, Slow it down. Things don't work like that."
And that would be true, if this was IRL.
But it's not. This is after all a game. A chance where the DEV's could've made the Pyramid mysteries a real thing. And we all know from the incredibly in-depth lengths the DEVs have gone to hide a message in this game. Never really hidden, just locked into incredibly detailed puzzles some of which the community have cracked.
The big problem is that, sadly, this is only within the context of the TAW story. Until some better idea comes along I will continue working on this within the context of TAW and TDW.
Thanks for listening.

Just some info to feed in - Barnards Loop isn’t permit locked. No signs of Thargoids there. BL is within Col 70, as are quite a lot of other regions that aren’t locked.
To the best of my knowledge, the only known Thargoid signs within Col 70 are:
- The barnacles in the Witchhead
- The Thargoid fleet found near the borders in Premonition
- The system that the Thargoid Probe uses as a reference point
Some additional points:
- There’s also a Wreaken Construction shipyard in Col 70 in Premonition.
- We don’t actually know what the significance actually is of the system that the Thargoid Probe references
I assure you that it very much appears to be locked, the region of Barnards Loop, the general neighboring sectors. Try navigating from the first two stars in the belt and go to the third. And it is in the middle of Orion's Belt. Also the Col 70 sector is in close proximity to the Pleiades and the Aries Dark. A fleet, barnacles and a ref point from a probe and still you say there appears to be no sign of thargoids near BL?

He may mean there's little Thargoid presence in the accessible sectors in the area which doesn't mean the locked sectors aren't thriving with them.
There was a EDSM style map of the area but I've lost the link but here's a video of like a CAT scan of locked sectors in the region.

So as long as you avoid them BL is perfectly navigable.

Fair point. Fact remains all the nebulas are still in the center of the belt acting as a barrier to the third star, Epsilon Orionis.
EDSM reports 30 cmdr's who use 3rd party logging tools have been there, so there must be a way.
https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/179535/name/Epsilon+Orionis
and its seems to have been fully scanned
https://eddb.io/system/bodies/51424
for fun I'll give it a shot as soon as the current cash cow CG ends, which I expect in a few hours.
What are you flying and what's your range?
Single frames from that catscan thing can be useful to show how to get in and out of some of the interior regions without huge jump ranges.
I see it's quite low -567, shouldn't be a problem.
hum,, lookin at it in game now it's behind bernard's loop,,,
sparsity of stars down and out there maybe the bigger problem,
a little like reaching Rho Cass in the old timey-times 18 months ago
hum
edit[ with write access to eddn i toyed with adding a body to eddn wierdly orbiting the black hole for the lulz,
but I could never do that to y'all,,,,,i'll pick somewhere else]
edit edit[ya know anyone can do that right]
