many thanks for finding this, I've done very similar things exploring chimneys far above the roof of the galaxy, found a pair of very lonely ELW's with a great view.

The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
Could they all be different systems in an order to find Raxxla? Like map directions?
The video shared above. I have watched it. I assert this individual was sent to the Magellan Cloud, which I assert is the location made available by the discovery of Raxxla. Raxxla will be a gateway/stargate, that enables ships to jump 10kly's in one jump.
This will be a force multiplier for Colonisation. Whichever player group colonises Raxxla system (if possible, or adjacent within colonisation range) will be able to start seeding colonies across the entire galaxy.

Hello Folks. So, it's was working my way through Gruis (being Crane) and when I got to Tau-2 Gruis-A the next location on my list , being HD 216655 / HIP 113191 takes the galmap cursor to an empty location about 10Ly away. There's no star shown and it's not possible to jump. I've visited all nearby stars and matched the nav panel systems to visible stars, i haven't found any system that's only selectable in nav panel.
Any thoughts? Is this a known bug?

Not sure what you mean?
Tau-2 Gruis A has the designations HIP 113190 and HD 216656.

Yes, I know that. AFTER Tau-2A the next Gruis item on the star list is HD 216655 which should be tau-2B . But when you enter HD 216655 into the galmap, it accepts it as a valid address, but positions the cursor at a blank space that contains no visible star. The blank space is 10Ly away from 2A. Hyperjump is not enabled because gheres no target. But 10Ly would take 44hours at maximum supercruise. Any thoughts ?Not sure what you mean?

is your next System on the List Synuefe DZ-D d13-78 ?
My guess it when real data has a double System at the previos System e.g 'Synuefe DZ-D d13-77' aka 'Tau-2 Gruis-A', but stellar forge only placed a singel Star at that place. So FDEV altered that system post Stellar forge. another example is '61 CYGNI' -> 'CORE SYS SECTOR DL-Y C0-21' is probably merged whit 'CORE SYS SECTOR DL-Y C0-22'
What version? Cause i only get the curser to the empty spot (~ 25;-135;75) when entering Synuefe DZ-D d13-78 in the searchbar (Edit: in Legacy Horizons)

Many thanks, I'll check when I get home
Entering HD 216655 puts me on Tau-2 Gruis A.
Yes, this seems to be the answer, entering Synufe DZ-D D13-78 gives exactly the same behaviour. But the double star at tau-2 Gruis-A is actually labelled "AB" because the system is named "Gruis A" so the system that should be "Gruis B" seems to be missing
This would be cool! Then as humans colonize the Large Magellanic Cloud over a period of a few years, the gate will inexplicably and permanently collapse, leaving the new human colonies cutoff from the bubble. And now we are part of the Eve Online lore.
Its not anywhere near Magellan Clouds.
10 kly's Jump range gets you only 1.8% the way to the Magellan Clouds. (~180000 ly)
Any Gateway in ED only ever can bring you somewhere inside a 163840ly x 81920ly x 163840ly cuboid and the Magellan Clouds sadly are just a little bit outside of that.
I've also searched around Capricorni and COL 285 area, using the option to avoid visited systems it would take me through new systems every run. I was using my Mandalay as 9ly range wasn't enough, after a few runs there weren't enough unvisited systems in range so it would give an error. But with my Mandalay on economical route I was able to scan multiple systems around that area.
I think I'm gonna stop for now, until more info comes out, or unless people organize another massive potato hunt, this time for systems over 200ly from Sol and around the Capricorni, COL 285 area.
Whenever I feel the urge to go look for Raxxla some more, I'll go back to that area and scan a few more systems I haven't visited yet. At least I was able to map over a dozen gas giants, which weren't mapped yet. And made some nice credits out of this.
Unfortunately, the area Drakkster reported could just be slightly over 200ly from Sol, meaning it won't be reached by the existing Raxxla hunt. Perhaps a new one is needed for that specific area. I'm hoping someone smarter than me can make a spreadsheet for us to go brute force it as a group. It would be much less systems, if we focus on that particular area and over 200ly range from Sol.
Yeah the video says 16kly, which is the actual distance for some of the PSR stars in the galmap, Magellanic clouds are over 150,000ly. They are in fact just pictures on the background and don't exist in game, so nice theory but falls over at the first hurdle, the actual name of the star system is in the video so you can search it on the galmap if you want.
He has lost all his data!

If this really happens then it would be mind blowing! I really doubt though that FD will allow this loophole to short circuit the 10ly limit they said will be set initially on colonization. What is more likely to happen is that the big organized Powerplay groups would simultaneously lay claim to such a fabled system, setting off a Powerplay war which would make the recent Battle of Sol looks like a kindergarten playground brawl.
Whoever wins will rapidly reinforce the system where Raaxla is to elevate it to stronghold status. Which would mean the system would look like this:
Who'd want to leave the Milky Way?
Gaia said there's a bar at the centre!
Mmm...wonder what they're charging for a pint of Lavian brandy

P.S.
If Raxxla truly holds a gateway to another universe, it's likely to be one-way only!
