The Quest To Find Raxxla

Must have been before I got my free Sidey!
Or else my memory is even worse than I thought...
It’s on my list of things to re-read. Current bedtime reading is Wanted, and during day reading Drew’s recommended (non-lore) Salomé sequels...
Check out the permit locked system of Peregrina.
Very strange description. Plague planet, any ship landing will receive wanted rating and will be banned from docking in another system.
Even though it has several surface outposts???

Tried to find screenies, but didn't find any - there seems to be a gap in my archive between beta and release...Must have been before I got my free Sidey!

So, mark that as my wishful thinking for now.
The Ancients of Mumu is a player faction, that references the KLF song. KLF took the name Ancients of Mumu from the The Illuminatus! Trilogy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illuminatus!_Trilogy
The authors were probably inspired by the legend of the lost continent of Mu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_(mythical_lost_continent)
Confused yet?
Linked to early Galnet story IIRC. Ban not implemented in-game.
Found the old screenies, yay!Tried to find screenies, but didn't find any - there seems to be a gap in my archive between beta and release...

Alas, not a single one of Van Maanen's Star.
Peregrina is from Out of the Darkness.
Was it? Cant remember that book. Must reread them all.
But I think the key point is that the supposed ban does not appear to be implemented in-game, it’s just fluff.

Spatial analysis
Simple thought, which likely someone has already collected data for but also very probably, based upon other similar hypothesis, is totally arbitrary…
Does the distribution of game elements (such as lore) form spatial patterns (especially when combined with other data) and do they correlate?
Humans are complacent and our behaviours do fall into patterns, I’ve always wondered if this relates to how Developers implemented elements.
Ironically this is something I do have a lot of RL experience in; but sadly this is also something I don’t have the time to undertake due to RL commitments…
I presume many are totally arbitrary considering FD likely applied algorithms to flatten distribution / Stella forge etc. But there is always the possibility that someone slipped up, that said ‘even’ distributions when viewed in totality, identify certain ‘hot-spots’ or ‘intelligence gaps’.
Such a map could also highlight known dead points, eg systems based on player content could be singled out…
Such an undertaking is not outside the realms of possibility given the existence of third party tools and collective working, the obstacle really is just time availability, especially if said data is meaningless.
Still it would be a sight to behold. I’ve not really looked into such tools like EDSM etc for the reasons set out above, and no idea if such tools have layer filtering or even link analysis functions like various official GIS systems, still it’s a laborious job.

Hi,
I made a complete list of bodies in the Sol system. This was done by scanning the nav. beacon and taking the data from the Journal log file.
Interesting to see that asteroid belts and planet rings are the same thing.
As you can see there are some bodyIDs missing. BodyID: 6 seem to be the asteroid belt (between Mars and Jupiter). BodyIDs 8, 14, 23 and 29 correspond to the rings of the Gas giants.
BodyID: 21 is unknown. It's an orbit between Saturn and Uranus. It could be the fabeled Halley's comet? I would have to do a similar check in Pareco, to get a better idea on how the comets are implemented.

An unknown body orbiting between Saturn and Uranus???????
Mmmmmmm!!!
“2060 Chiron /ˈkaɪərɒn/ is a small Solar System body in the outer Solar System, orbiting the Sun between Saturn and Uranus.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2060_Chiron
I’ve already posited that Chiron might be , but then why doesnt it show on scans? Maybe its the Omphalos Rift?
Mmmmmmm!!!

Or orbiting Saturn.
Very interesting. I like that it has barrycenter too.. will have to play with this technique
The barrycenter is for the Pluto / Charon binary system. You see them in the system map, when there are binary stars.
Hmm I never thought I would be doing orbit calculation programs. I guess this is the timeAn unknown body orbiting between Saturn and Uranus???????

Halley's Comet can be searched for in the EDO galaxy map, and is shows as being in Sol. In Horizons it can be searched for, and after showing a ton of other stuff in other systems it eventually shows that something in Sol has something with Halley in the name present.
Ooo, interesting! Never tried that!
Does this technique also give you the stations within system?
And does it only work by scanning the nav beacon? Does it also apply using fss?
