Well...seem like thargoids are going to attack bubble and will most likely take most of it. Because of that there is a content of Srius being injected in to Old Worlds systems. I think Old Worlds systems are going to be only part of bubble controlled by humans. Sirius being injected in to Old Worlds systems creates a big problem because someone who created that content didnt know that Old Worlds where created because of colonist being forced out of central colonies by Sirius and because of that Sirius is a enemy to Old Worlds.

Unfortunately since most old lore is redacted and they may have known however this may no longer be written in lore, However on that if it is still lore things change, times change and so do alliances, Sure I wont mention names however a few recent conflicting countries in the last 20 or so years in real life where once allies who are now enemy's and vice versa, things change I just hope if this is the case its done properly
 
It was leaked in 2016, I think on the old Alien artefact threads, archived some time ago
I wanted to ask you, how was that leaked? From my own failing memory I think I recalled it as 'part of the emerging story', evolving, regarding the the sinister Cabal and all that. I didn't recalling any leaks though, but again I probably need to go back and refresh my memory on that part.

Wow! A search of this thread and it appears I'll be the first to raise this here. I can't believe that's right.

Anyway....

I know I'm far from the first here to look at the current game manual pdf, I see others have mentioned the pilot's licence and similar. Surprisingly, it seems none have mentioned the watermark images on the pdf pages.

To me it looks like the background images on the pdf pages are an external projection of a cobra III, a cobra III's landing gear, an exploded diagram of engine componentry, the depiction of a terrestrial building entryway and on the cover an additional overlay of the external projection of a sidewinder.

Given it's context the depiction of a building (door included) strikes me as particularly odd. I'm left wondering if the arrangement of circles shaded to varying degrees, and/or circled reversed numbers across the bottom of the page (7, 1, 11, 18, 10), are of any significance.

(For that matter the pattern of circles on the cover could easily be viewed as an orrery.)

In case you can't find it on your launcher....the link.

IIRC it was leaked by a livestreamer after he’d had a tour of Cambridge HQ. Pretty sure it was leaked by a post on the old “canonn” Alien Artefacts and Other Mysteries thread, cos that’s the only one that I regularly read at the time. Han_Zen posted links to them but dont know if they're still accessible via https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-to-find-raxxla.168253/post-8241129.

HOWEVER I also seem to recall that the leak was redacted within a day or so after it appeared on the thread.
Might be some references to that leak on-line somewhere in the gaming media, I think it was either late 2015 or early to mid 2016...

Of course the plan might have been changed in reaction to that leak, or for other FD purposes. It tied in with Drew Wagar’s Dynasty Plot, and FD invested some effort in building that into the game. But the obvious hiatus in gameplay over the last year, and clearly last minute additional delays in the Colonia Bridge, make me suspect that it is still valid. Now the console-directed efforts have been dropped I expect FD will throw all efforts into properly sorting the EDO code and the long term story plan will start to unfold once more. Goids are attacking closer and closer to Sol, and as far as I know there is still a military buildup of thousands of alien USS in the Coalsack (the Alliance attempts at terraforming ammonia planets there were clearly a plot device to stir the hornets nest!), so the goid preparations are well under way. But after all the hype about goids on the ground I think that EDO ground combat is a major game design aspect for the plan. I hope DB read Out of The Darkness, cos the goid infantry pics “leaked” a year or so ago didnt seem very convincing compared to the descriptions in that book; but maybe we have to see them in action to get the emotional impact. Remember-only heavy calibre weapons are effective, must get a new armoured SRV! But only joking- I’ve had enough of goid combat, I’m too old, just want to solve the Raxxla mystery!

Though it shouldn't directly impact the Quest for Raxxla, since Raxxla was introduced in gamma
& hence should be a space-based entity/object, but the thought of endless hyperdictions within the bubble would put me off the quest.

Thanks, all the old threads are available, I use them all the time, you just need to use the new threads-url format instead of the old format from before the migration.
Gotcha, so the info may not have been there when I followed it. And hence other plans was adapted to make the most of the situation.
Thanks :)
 
Do y'all remember the part about Halsey and Romero's vision specifically this:


“Our analysts have recovered a few fragments of these recordings, which appear to have been part of a dream journal. In them, Romero makes repeated mention of seeing ‘an area of space, not black but radiant…glowing like heaven,’ and being called by ‘voices that didn’t come from anything with a body’.”

“Medical experts have proposed that Romero’s recordings, along with his recent distracted behaviour, may be symptoms of an undiagnosed dissociative disorder. If true, Romero was likely acting upon dream delusions when he stole the ship. At present, our investigation has not yielded anything more substantial

I think I know where this is -- outside the Bubble but still closer than Coalsack. Interestingly from multiiple GalMap filters there is a glow and it doesn't happen with other systems (especially the same primary star class). Views used: star class (distant), star class (close), security, civilization, and realistic.

NOTE: VR screenshots are quirky. I could see everything but screenshot captures only part of the view. In each, you can notice a faint glow even from distance. You may need to view these in browser as previews may be harder to see details.

Destination: HIP 63835

More will be posted when I get out there. I am making a few quick pit stops at Far God sites along the way in case those logs end up being useful.

Found this old thread earlier & have had an entertaining read!

One of those Twitch stream links includes one with DB (not sure if already covered), where he’s asked ‘where’s Raxxla’ and DB simply says ‘you don’t want spoilers’.

Another question is also asked in relation to the ‘Thargoid/Human’ bubble…

Doesn’t add anything really. But maybe relevant to make note of it (last question at the end).

Yes, I’m trying to track down the source of “the Thargoids invade and take over human bubble” long term storyline plan leak, which he asked at the end around 29:30 into that DB interview. No answer, but it was originally reported on one of the old threads...

And I do want a spoiler!! Or at least a useful hint!!!
Winter is coming...

Edit: currently in Shinrarta checking out various things. The tourist beacons all now have a single spelling (“Pilots’ Federation”), no sign of a stealth station at any of the close/nested moons, PF Local Branch at both Jameson Memorial and Gallun’s Inheritance, no sign of other cliques. Did get a Trading Beacon pop up for a PF mission, ignored it, relogged and it popped up for another faction (not different PF clique)...running out of ideas. Where is the clue???
P.S. after reading the “Mr Brookes please confirm...” thread this morning it seemed the original Dark Wheel is not canon for ED, so this idea of elite rank as a requirement to find Raxxla may be invalid.

Thanks Cmdr! That was really clear. Having to set & select a bookmark is similar to when we were searching for asteroids in Sol, the bookmark ends up in the centre of the Sun because we were selecting the centre of their orbit, no actual asteroids involved.
I'm not so sure the bookmark always targets the orbital centre... specially with comets because some might have hyperbolic trajectory.

Also, Sol system, hence its Asteroid Cluster, was hand-crafted by Frontier... so, everything we see or don't see in there is planned upon... this includes the target-to-drop for the Asteroid Cluster being inside the Sol (main star) to prevent us for easily finding it or dropping at it.
 
Mmm, don’t agree.
1) If a comet (or anything else) is on a hyperbolic trajectory it hasn’t been captured by that system’s gravity & is a rogue body. I think from the journal spec that a rogue body (if implemented) will have its own system and probably nothing else within that.
2) if you look at Pyroboros’ analysis for Sol (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-to-find-raxxla.168253/post-9726705), the BodyType for the asteroid belt is “StellarRing” & a ring is defined by the coordinates of its centre (within the Sun) & its radius, which us what we see in the Orrery view. I don’t think it has anything to do with FD preventing us from dropping into it.
Edit: I think from the investigations into the “Sol green glow” that there is another system nearby with a similar asteroid belt. IIRC a bookmark to that also showed within the star.

There is more, go to the end page and zoom, all around the page there is more information, speculative the 229 (2296?) then check the dats of the Cobra MKII in old Lore particular of missing prototypes in the same region as our first Raxxla date


Fitzroy Smith sounds like a very fitting Dark Wheel member and is mentioned along side this with owning a station with a location not realy advertised though he gives invitations

anyone know how to use the fleet carrier search in Inara, anything i use it it displays none in a 50kly radius..I mean that's impossible as mines 11k away and Inara knows this lol
Please send me a link to your search conditions into PM here or Inara, I will take a look at that. I guess it was caused by the conditions set, but better to check... :)

Hey Art,

If i search by galactic region it works, however not by just the system name

 
Question for consideration relating to how early ships travelled circa 2296?

Maybe one for @Allen Stroud

Up to that point we have a number of settled systems; namely Sol; Tau Ceti; Delta Pavonis; Altair; Beta Hydri; Eotienses and Achenar.

In regards to Achenar it is said the discovery was via ‘unexplored’ space.

Q: How did early ships traverse between these points?

Did they take arbitrary routes (as we might) utilising unexplored systems as waypoints and therefore expanding the sphere of influence to encapsulate all systems within this bubble, eg from Sol (the centre) out as far as Achenar?

Or did they adhere to routine routes, within direct line of sight of these systems. If so there is no sphere of influence, but a web of routes with a limited area of influence.

I don’t believe there has ever been confirmation as to the actual drive limit of early ships.

If that limit can be officially confirmed, we can draw lines between these locations with an economical sphere around them creating a web of interest.
