Going off at another road again having done some random searching on my phone in the hotel last night, didn't the Polaris system get accidentally revealed at one point?
Was the ringed planet (B1??) shown to have 8 moons? did anything come from this?
Obviously its locked again now.

The FC sensor bug-FC were able to sense inside permit locked systems, the permit was never dropped. Dont think so for Polaris, though think one of the other locked systems had 8 moons. Search in this thread or google it. Probably on Reddit somewhere.

Wasn't it HIP 22460 which is currently infested with ticked off Thargoids? I think the system had the Overlook Flight Operations Carrier.
 
Sorry, I can't find any mention of these 8 moons in the Codex ...
TDW entry
“According to self-professed Dark Wheel expert Lyta Crane, a conspiracy theorist and 'people's journalist' who has painstakingly assembled an archive of relevant data, the original group was based in a disused starport orbiting the eighth moon of an unnamed gas giant. The station was toroid, hence 'wheel', and operated with a minimal power output so as to avoid detection, hence 'dark'.”
 
Mmm, hope Ive not found it!
Dropped into a system, several High Grade Emissions...dropped in on the nearest but nothing there at all, no mats, no wreckage, nowt! Honked but nothing, night vision on & nothing. Fired up FSD to go look for another but it wouldnt engage...up to full bars but wouldn't kick in. Tried to jump to a nearby system & same thing. Tried to pull up menu to close game....nothing!
Had to press the PC reset button. When I got back in-game there was a HGE close by, about 0.36ls away & everything was working ok..odd!!

Hope Raxxla has been tested recently!!
thats connectivity issue afaik...
 
thats connectivity issue afaik...
But disappearance of the game menu from the Escape key at the same tIme seems to suggest a game bug, & not connectivity issue which is pretty good normally for me (125Mbps ethernet). Connectivity problems normally come up as Beige Cobra or similar weird codename. Since I was playing in Solo and just trying to start up fsd for in-system travel shouldn't have required any comms...the system would already be loaded in my PC.

I’m remembering DB’s chortle when he said “that’s a strange one, is Raxxla in-game? of course! but you dont know what it is”...I wouldn't put it past him to implement Raxxla as a joke bug!

I’m also remembering the BSOD when we first encountered the FRift bases which didnt load as they should have.

I’ll retry, still in the same system, probably after lunch. Copawlot is eyeing my ankles hungrily.

I dont seriously think this was it. Looking at the dots of the logo I suspect it’s hidden 556656 ls out in deep space!

Edit
The system was Persephone. The bug didnt happen again.

im not an expert, im just poorly paraphrasing what was said somewhere else on this forum:
basically opening main menu is some server-side game action that has to have connection like everything else ingame. even in solo. this might happen not necessarily because of your bad connection but might be a server issue. usually its a desync that over time got so bad that game doesnt know what to do so it does nothing...

last time i got this it was during traveling and after restarting the game i found myself like 2 systems before the place where i had to shutdown the game :D

The funny thing is Orbis is not the even the oldest station type - and it isn't even close. The discrepancy is almost 500 years.

From Brewer Corporation codex:

"Starports safer than the surface."

Best known for the iconic Coriolis, the Brewer Corporation has been synonymous with starports since 2752.

The first Coriolis, designed by Timothy Brewer to elevate the standard of offworld living, took nearly four years and one billion credits to complete. Though crude and angular to look at, it was relatively simple to assemble in space, with heavy components that could be manufactured locally from low-grade materials. It boasted several innovative features: a self-regulating biome, living facilities comparable to those of planetside outposts, first-rate medical services and an innovative cylindrical docking system. By 3200 Brewer was the galaxy's primary starport manufacturer.

After decades of rigorous testing, Brewer debuted its second design, the Orbis. Envisaged as an advanced, lightweight counterpart to the Coriolis, the Orbis's construction was less dependent on local metallic resources. The design retained the docking cylinder while featuring additional 'full gravity' areas.

As best I can figure, there is no Orbis nor competitors to it until the mid-3200s. See Nostrum Incident at bottom of Brewer Corporation codex that occurs in Tau Ceti.

Also, I have bad news on Timothy Brewer...

From "All that Glisters..."

So, Timothy Brewer is a complete fiction with the inventor being Jacques ("the supplanter"). Conservative estimates places Jaques at nearly 600 years old at a very minimum at the present time. This jackass has been on the radar for Alliance Interpol for a while since we have jurisdiction of the Old Worlds Coalition region.

This, also means Facece has another alias - Vetitice.

Yes, I think thats the one cis there was a lot of chatter about it being TDW HQ, but no evidence, & no permit.
This simple post really highlights for me just how big this game really is. I thought I knew all the things and then I hear about Witch's Reach. I plop over to EDSM and search for it, thinking "I can easily answer this for the raxxlachaps." EDSM doesn't have a record of it? Ooooooo....mysteries intensifying! So then I do a quick googley and find out that Witch's Reach, along with three other systems have a unique permit. I find a thread from 2015 about it. So here we are, eight years later, and no one's figured it out (or else it's just still handwavium locked) - AND - I knew absolutely nothing about it. And I even know about those two "security" permitted systems that are equidistant from SagA*.


Boggles the mind, it does.

Sadly such oddities could easily be explainable by FD locking off ‘redundant’ narratives.

There are huge areas similarly indefinitely locked off, much as with the planet Triton or system Polaris, which FD has confirmed have been intentionally locked with no permits available to players.

There are areas in game which supposedly were locked off for ‘narrative’ reasons linked to their 10 year narrative.

It’s been 10 years!

It’s been speculated by some that development plans were established for a DW / Raxxla narrative and a Thargoid civil war narrative, we know FD removed those missions (but has never publicly confirmed that / only via a ticket) some also speculate to know that the Thargoids were supposed to originate from a different area of the galaxy than they now have. All ancient history. It’s evident FD retconned certain things circa 2016/2017. I no longer care ‘why’ - it’s FD decision - their game, their narrative to change.

But ultimately such suspicions logically lead towards the possibility that such locations will stay locked indefinitely, and there are no mechanisms in place to interact with them, not until FD can ‘repurpose’ them.

I’m no fan of gated narratives, especially not in a sandbox game. I hate it when one is able to see the cogs turning behind the curtain. Hunting for Raxxla has inevitably uncovered certain discrepancies, ultimately much of what we think we might know may well now just be archaeological.

could also mean topaz in Phekda or ayethi, but Phekda has an interesting description regarding generation ships etc and was actually named topaz as a system name before being changed around or before Horizons and still shows it as a system name if searched ;-)

I don't quite understand the meaning of the words : original group.
And now ...

I think this being the original members: Alex Ryder, Raffe Zetter, and a handful others. It honestly sounded like Elyssia Fields was possibly brought into the organization. Of note, when Alex Ryder meets Elyssia Fields she asks if he has a speech function like she was expecting an android/cyborg which is curious in itself.

I'd also like to mention the story that Alex Ryder mentioned about Teorge better matches with Lave and Colony Ships Hershel and Oberon. So, there may be some weirdness about WHO settled Lave. Was Lave a clone colony from the beginning? Is this why the Feds have such strong rules regarding genetic manipulation and cloning?

NOTE: There is not one single body in Teorge that would support life. Lave, however is not terraformed and naturally supports life.

Yeah I understand, it just looks to me like this group is in a different place now.
