The Quest To Find Raxxla

[GURU-951]

Don't google it, look at it in game.

Tau Ceti system

Tau Ceti system is the planetary system around Tau Ceti, located approximately 11.9 light-years away in the constellation Cetus in the caelregio Hippocampus. There are at least 7 planets, five were discovered on December 19, 2012. Tau Ceti, like our Sun, is a G-type main sequence star, but it is...

Penthos

Penthos was the spirit of grief, lamentation, and mourning. After the Titanomachy, Zeus began giving domains to the gods, goddesses, and spirits. However, Penthos was not there so Hades became the god of grief while Penthos remained the spirit of mourning, grief, and lamentation. Aether (Father)...

Which planet in Tau Ceti changed its name within the games lore?

Are we agreed that the game is accurate to star systems around us? So therefore real world data has been used and can be considered canon to the development of the universe in the game?

Mmm, not totally convinced on this point. DB is IRL interested in astronomy, & he has said (David Braben Gamescon 2016, m.youtube.com/watch?v=wQaK-j1n8co) at 3:30 minutes “Scientific accuracy is really important to me”.

FD did feed IRL star catalogues into Stellar Forge when populating the ED galaxy, though this has led to some errors within game due to inaccuracies/contradictions in those catalogues, e.g duplicate stars, sometimes with different names but at only a light year or two separation etc. I found, and reported, a duplicate system out in IC1805- same name, different bodies, dont think it was ever corrected. The major contradictory point is LAWD 26, where the second star (actually the one you jump onto) is a Wolf-Rayet star. Now WR are massive stars and exceedingly bright. The nearest WR IRL is Gamma Velorum (reputed home of the Guardians) which is at 1096 ly from Sol but “is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, and contains by far the closest and brightest Wolf–Rayet star” (Wikipedia).

At 26ly from Sol the WR in LAWD 26 should be the brightest thing in the sky, day or night. This is a glaring inconsistency which has not been explained, in lore or anything else. I’ve explored that system several times but never found anything leading to Raxxla, or anywhere else. Talk about “you have to make some of it a tiny little bit obvious” (Michael Brookes, DJTruthsayer [TIQ] Michael Brookes Lore interview 14May2016

Pippi is a princess. Her father is a king and former pirate.

Anything in the Pippi books about spiralling stars perchance?

Apparently the Alexandria has been found, at least wreckage and associated logs. Thought it would be on Galnet yesterday. Apparently if you were involved in Ram Tah’s investigation you received a message and had to find some signals near a named system. There was a thread about it yesterday https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...have-been-seen-near-wregoe-sc-x-b29-2.597740/

A nice series of episodes, some good writing and voice acting, nice to find these things. I do appreciate the work by FD to put some narrative back into the game.

However effectively these like prior narratives are just part of a drawn out drip fed, episodic, community treasure-hunt narrative, there’s no real additional gameplay nor optional content unless your collectively involved. You can simply wait it out and read it on the Forums.

There is no way of actually ‘solving’ that particular story, eg to make and then test assessments, not until the chapters are released and inserted by FD, who have confirmed that’s how they release such content - you could be sat in that system 2 days prior and see nothing, until FD flip that switch, in that respect it’s not actually a ‘mystery’ more like an episodic cliff-hanger….which could go anywhere.

I’m not gripping, just somewhat disappointed FD are reliant on such methods to engage players rather than developing more complex in game mission / npc algorithms, it’s a little lazy and more about PR and galvanising a community, it’s short lived and reliant on FD putting in the effort episodically over a protracted time; I’d rather they work on the original concepts they proposed at kickstarter, that sounded like a fun, engaging game!

The Future? “It’s on the list….”

Drip fed entertainment... I guess this is Arthur’s influence, cos there was bug*** all before these “storylines” started to happen. Well, at least nothing since the Unknown Artefacts (aka Thargoid Sensors) started to appear. I occasionally wonder if this is why MB left; as an author he must have been appalled at the way the narrative is handled.

Edit: and I see Chancellor Blaine is saying the Empress will return to public life soon; so TDW have grown another clone?

 

[Rochester]

Yeah AT has confirmed that FD does insert key content over time, even into systems where there is existing activity.

He said it himself (not quoting) you can literally be in that system a couple of days before and not see anything…

This is actually a rather good (telling) interview (at some points!):

Got the 4 DVDs today, trying to get a Look at them this Weekend.

I whished that we could get what old religions TDW follows, since they are quite many old religions and that creates quite big flow of solutions...

Todays journey makes you realise how many degraded emissions people have passed that could be or could be clues Raxxla as they have been in the game since release

Thanks to Cmdr DrinkyBird here’s Alexandria logs for those, like me, that didnt get Prof Tesreau’s message:

Hi.

Any new findings about Raxxla?

Hi.

Nope, but maybe it is a "Spunk" (Candy) from Pipi have not seen all yet. But it is similar in the sence of -No one hast an Idea of what it actually is.-

The lawn needs cutting and it’s about time the windows were painted.

Isis?
What's your point?

 

[Cmdr bubblz93]

Sorry that was an incomplete post. I just wanted to note the similarities between the artistic design of her in this image and the dark wheels logo.

Also would like to submit the goddess EOS for examination in relations to the mysteries of raxxla. They're are numerous connections I believe in be mythology.

Oh no not again...

On your post it's definitly Isis (from ancient egypt).
Eos is from greek mythology and despite you can find some similiratires between old cultures, they are not the same person.
