Thanks, I’ll add it to my list of useful links since FD seem to have deleted the previous patch notes thread I had linked (at least I cant find it), but it doesnt go back as far as 2017, which I think is when the voice logs were introduced.
see the 1st post of this thread and "Public FD Raxxla statements:" sectionCan anyone provide a link where DB said Raxxla was in-game since gamma? Or, of that's not possible, the earliest official confirmation that it is in-game? Thanks.
I just did. And for the life of me, I seem to not be able to find it. No "it has been in-game since gamma" (and therefore no SRV needed to find it) official statement. Only some deductions here in the forum about the 2.0 patch notes that said "Secret added". Which may well have been just about the Zurara plot. What worries me is that allegedly DB said that it is possible to find Raxxla only "if you scan it enough". What does that mean? Do you have to be in a wing and do a simultaneous scan? Do you have to honk that system 100 times? That a FSS scan is enough? Do you have to do a detailed scan of each system body? Because some of these issues that I mentioned above make Raxxla nigh UNFINDABLE. Unless you already know what to look for from another source.see the 1st post of this thread and "Public FD Raxxla statements:" section
Ah, didnt see a menu option!
Have a look at the FD quotes thread (my signature). DB definitely said Raxxla has been in-game since the gamma but can’t remember if I found the source reference for that (see edit). As you say it is alleged that he said Raxxla will appear if you are in the right place and honk enough, and something about more likely to be found by a group of players. No source has been found for that either, and I only found one claimant. However it is the basis for my belief that you have to be very close to Raxxla/Omphalos and honk to make it appear. With a minimum speed of 30Km/sec in supercruise and a honk-honk time of 16 seconds (due to scanner charge and recovery time) it makes it very unlikely that a single player will find it if the detection distance is set to something like 10Km. You’d have to be sure of the location and honk in normal space to stand a reasonable chance. At max speed of 500 metres/sec in normal space a fast ship like a Phantom would then take an awful lot of honks to cover 0.1 light secs of positional uncertainty (I tried searching Jupiter-Io L1 position last weekend in case Raxxla is a tribute to 2001 Space Odyssey; the “personal journey” fits with “Odyssey” and its reuse for the latest title may be a another hint, as may be the use of the Blue Danube music to accompany station autodocking).I just did.

Someone explained to me once the difference between a code and a cypher. You may be able to crack a cypher because there is a certain logic and pattern to it. But a code is a basically a metaphor and therefore impossible to crack. IMHO Raxxla is a code.
I also believe that somehow by adding the FSS and the codex FDev wanted to make it easier to find, but the codex entry remains just another metaphor. Tiny bit obvious they think, but still, only a metaphor. There's obfuscation all over the place here, not just the outer rim.
O7 and thank you cmdr. Much appreciated. And if what you're saying is true, that means that you need to know what you're looking for AND be nearly pinpoint accurate when looking for it, therefore chances of finding Raxxla are pretty close to nil.

I have the impression the 'more likely being found by a group of players" was regarding the formadine rift mysteries.

If that unsourced quote is true then chances of finding Raxxla are low even if you know a priori where it is!O7 and thank you cmdr. Much appreciated.

Yes but that’s why it’s so intriguing.If that unsourced quote is true then chances of finding Raxxla are low even if you know a priori where it is!
It could mean that Raxxla consists of several components, each of which may require scanning individually.I just did. And for the life of me, I seem to not be able to find it. No "it has been in-game since gamma" (and therefore no SRV needed to find it) official statement. Only some deductions here in the forum about the 2.0 patch notes that said "Secret added".

Ok, if this is true then we have the following possibilities:As for the "Someone has been there, honked and passed on through" business. I never witnessed this, but I have it on reasonable authority it occured in conversation with Frontier Developments' Staff present at the LaveCon convention.
Cheers,
Drew.
True, but there are groups out there brute forcing (Bruce Forsyth) this, if the hypothesis is correct and it just needs to be found, then the only obstacles are time and persistence.Ok, if this is true then we have the following possibilities:
1 - if that cmdr honked the basic or intermediate scanner (pre-3.4 ED had basic, intermediate and advanced, and only the advanced could scan the whole system), and if Raxxla was further than 500 or 1000 ls then it's still hidden. (I find this the most likely scenario)
2 - if said cmdr had the advanced scanner then he found the planet that holds Raxxla but didn't go there. It might mean it was not apparent at long distances and he had to visit each body and didn't - IMHO FDev were then giving us a hand here when they introduced the FSS, at least let's hope so.
2a - if an EDSM/EDDB/INARA E: D account link was present then that system is on their databases (incompletely scanned most likely)
2b - if the account wasn't linked then it's only present in Univ Cartographics (if the cmdr didn't blow the ship before selling the data) .... aaand we have nothing.
