I follow this thread for many years – most time lurking, sometimes posting things. Raxxla is Raxxla and most probably will not change. So, I'd say the OP's post is not outdated but got more and more stable over the years. Things were added with care over time. This IMHO is what it makes valuable. Adding each and every new thing creates a pile of unedited information. If someone asks me, I'd say it is good as it is. This might sound quite conservative, but I've seen so many info collections growing to be a big mess by adding info just for the sake of adding info. – Just saying…

Everything is Hypothetical in here, ive lost count of the amount of folks that pop in from time to time saying we are doing it all wrong and they will solve it in a week.
The whole point is nothing here is right or wrong, some stuff we thought was rubbish turns out to be right more often than not!

Even the wisest cannot tell. For the mirror forum shows many things. Things that were, things that are, and some things... that have not yet come to pass.

Many moons past Xaintly made a summary doc. Maybe it will be of use ?

Much rambling since then, so it's only a partial summary.

I linked it before in this thread and it still seems to work..

The Quest To Find Raxxla

This thread is dedicated to the non-role-play Quest for Raxxla. Of course everything might be related, but we start out by keeping things simple (Occam’s Razor) and assuming they aren’t until proven otherwise. If you’re interested in Guardians & Thargoids there are more appropriate threads, e.g...
forums.frontier.co.uk forums.frontier.co.uk

Good luck if you want to make a summary. All summarys will be tainted by your internal filters, ofc., in picking what you think worthy of inclusion.

Glad to see the old hands, and some new, still working on this!

After a break in Avalon and some much needed easy credits, have refitted into a ‘Trinket Hunter’; jumped to an anarchy system very close to Plendovii, then randomly around the nav point within 10 min found 11 in a Hauler… lady fortune delivered.

Now off to conduct some experiments, and if all fails, back to Aztlan and then a pilgrimage of the holy mountain to Fortuna!

Its well known that some missions appear if you spend around 40 minutes continually in a system.
@djadjok put a lot of effort into investigating TipOff missions, which have been discussed in this thread many times (try a thread search). Dja produced a very nice summary spreadsheet which is accessible via his signature, but this is an interesting thread to read

Investigation into the "Mysterious Stranger"

Interesting. while im not familiar with these specific tip offs, i am usually motivated by whatever tip offs i get and go out of my way to pursue them despite whatever the value of the actual payout. I'm going to post a mission report referencing this on The Black Cat Syndicate's mission board...
forums.frontier.co.uk forums.frontier.co.uk

I cant remember if FDev Dom Corner clarified the mission system there, but IIRC in my FD Quotes thread (see my signature) I had some references to his comments.

Im just browsing my PC and found some mission notes - for info:
Tip Off missions, mysterious stranger
Tip-offs are a direct result of completing a mission (Dom Corner). TO often need to scan (only) core data terminal, the core data terminal is always the one with the green beacon up in the sky, using your ship you must really poke the terminal with the nose. tip offs are kind of payoffs or a form of "gratitude" from a minor faction to a given commander for a long-lasted profitable collaboration & usually received upon completion of missions while docked at station....
TO message location co-ordinates are for Horizons. In Odyssey most things on planet surfaces have moved slightly, so you have to go to the co-ordinates then look in the nav panel for the closest installation or crash site.
doing evacuations from burning stations and rep+ missions so far looks like a natural choice for Tip Off grinding, though disabling megaship turrets may currently be the fastest way to obtain many tip off in a short period of time.

But Rochester had a response from FD that these mysterious strangers are not related to the mysterious benefactor outlined in the manual!

I’ve probably gone over this ground before, however probably not in any clarity… it’s a difficult concept to convey in text, and on a forum…one day I’ll make a video, as it’s more obvious when rotated in 3D.

Here are the Yoruba systems in game.. which I believe, alongside other correlations, confirm my concept that there exists zones denoting a heaven and hell within game.

IMG_1378.jpeg

The upper triangular sector denotes many Yoruba systems attributed to the heavens, and visa versa. What I find facilitating is if you calculate their midpoints they align.

Here the same image is layered against the Greek wind systems in game. I believe this confirms a shifted axis, and likewise a north / south alignment.

IMG_1379.jpeg


Note how the underworld area is by my calculations towards the South East!

The next image is another composite but this time includes the systems named after the epic of Gilgamesh. Again the north / south attributes align as do key deities linked to an upper and lower realm.

IMG_1380.jpeg


Next for comparison are the systems named after the various Tuatha Dé Danann, part of which I suspect denotes the West, of note one corner of the Morrigans is very close to the system Sheela na gig, a symbol of a highest peak which corresponds to Greek north.

Likewise in the Morrigan triangle are numerous systems denoting paradises and bridges to the heavens., including the Bifrost.

IMG_1381.jpeg


Below is another example, where the Yorubais over layered with all the systems named after gods. As I’ve shown previously these ‘older gods’ do correlate to a north / south aspect, not least some form a perfect voided bubble around Sol, denoted by storm gods.

IMG_1382.jpeg


Another example here is zoomed in, on the Thetis signal. It exists upon an axis I mapped against my Miltonian model, and is inbetween the systems which are named after the fates and almost intersects the midpoint of the Yoruba.

IMG_1383.jpeg


Conclusion

There exists a celestial arrangement in game denoting an upper and lower hemisphere. The Fates, correlate with the positioning of the Norse Norns and Fortune systems creating a fulcrum fixed by the Thetis signal… ..


A bridge to the Empyrean?

I had the same exact observation. The main problem though is that first of all the upper and lower triangles are fairly arbitrary and the midpoints have been surveyed a lot - in the end this is in the bubble.

I've tried to look for tourist missions that would lead to something useful there but one problem is that many systems are now owned by player factions combined with generic generated system specific factions rather than anything unique, and I highly doubt any of that would lead to Raxxla. Similar problem exists if you're looking for a wake to follow. I've found no factions that I would even suspect to lead to anything new.

PS: I think this more of Frontier throwing a shade at Federation vs Empire - if you look at the systems, the top part of the bubble is Federation and "the heaven" systems are in Federation space, while the bottom is Empire and "the hell" systems are in the Empire space.

I saw that thread and didn't really want to rain on anyone's parade but, I'm 99% sure that I've heard that exact same story or one very similar to it on these very forums. I spent the better part of an hour yesterday googling around and searching this forum trying to find it but couldn't find it. does it ring a bell with anyone else? I specifically remember the reference to the road to riches and that raaxla was on a gas giant. I also remember the warning about leaving the system. Either the matrix was reset and this is a serious case of deja vu, or I'm almost positive that this story has been told before and not by that guy.

Before you shoot of on a wild goose hunt...I'm very conflicted. So many things don't add up. Dude says he was playing on an iMac, but has only just joined the forums last year? Also, has been on the forums for over a year and half but only just now comes out and says "oi, guys...totally been to raaxla?" Hasn't mentioned anywhere else except that thread? Not to mention he said he did roughly 70 jumps? Even at 9ly range, he's still in very documented space. I'm not saying that I don't believe the guy....but....

wait: he said: he did 70 or more systems. That is 70 systems of the Route Plan, or 70 systems (so 70 jumps about 7-9 LJ/jump). That would be much, much earlier...

I'm happy to do a search, i need a periodic break from Pareco. Are you sure the road to riches route hasn't changed in the last 10 years ? If you were following an older version the route may no longer take you near the area of interest. Is it possible to find previous versions ?
Capricorn is only about 120LY from Sol, so seems reasonable as a putative raxxla location in 2296 for someone to have been that far and returned.
Thinking critically, could it have been something other than a gas giant (cool star perhaps) ? Was the installation on a body or in space, its not clear from your account
Do you remember (or think you remember ) anything else at all ? Did you do any other trips out at that time that you could be conflating ? A hauler is a very small ship for route to riches (6T cargo?)
Are you sure about the ident of either or both of Raxxla or TDW ? There are hostile installations, you go inside the security zone and they threaten and attack, it is a game mechanic. Could you be misremembering the names? Sorry to ask but I've made a similar error myself ... (my first big exploration trip I remember visiting a system with "unknown" described as an "exploration opportunity" and a dotted symbol in the nav panel which i remembered as a raxxla hexagon but could never find again)
