ANNOUNCEMENT - Community Update - January 3306
Greetings Commanders, Happy New Year! As we enter 3306, we would like to tell you about the next update coming to Elite Dangerous! Thanks to all the commanders who joined in the beta back in November, we're happy to announce that the January Update will be launching on the 14 January! As we...
Update on the HD 144218 star:
The game goes to the same blank spot when entering:
HIP 78821
HD 144218
It's apparently 8-sco? If this is a major star why is it not there? Or is this a dim star?
Given that hutton orbital is the nearest star and whatnot. I'm starting to wonder if raxxla isn't literally the hutton orbital joke....

In front of bunkers door at Guardians structures. To me, it does not fit to what we usually see there.
Second layer is one of the reasons for my speculation on Guardians - Raxxla relation.

Yea, but from what I've looked you can't see it in game. It's the invisible spot those two references point you too. Has anyone found beta 2 scorpii? is it just referencing the wrong location?Beta 2 Scorpii: its part of a group of 6 stars that form Beta Scorpii

That's actually kinda cool a system with no star but unable to route to though the location exists. I recall something of people talking about systems with no stars or dead stars or something of that nature.
It's possible that the galaxy map could be bugged might wanna submit a ticket see if you can get this verified as a bug or as intended. If it's not a bug then it becomes a more interesting system from most we seen so far.

Right. For me I checked the doors with tne ramp in front. That was more thorough and there is nothing behind. Regardless I did do a free cam check for the rest of the GS, not as thorough as the door with ramps, but there shouldn't be anything. You can try again.

This is the same issue with HD 1337 (1337=Elite
) if I'm reading you guys correctly.Disclaimer: Not a programmer and just my theory
So ED is proc genned initially and then partially Hand Authored subsequently for gameplay reasons. Rather than to shift everything about once the galaxy is formed, would it not be easier to overlay the Hand Authored portions on top of pre existing systems in order not to disturb the realistic generation of the systems?
Hence there will be 2 sets, with Set A mapping to Set B which you see in the galaxy map. However in the translation, some systems names would be either be accidentally lost or deliberately hidden. If deliberately hidden, there is no way to select it in the galaxy map, however you might still see it in the left panel when you are 1 system away. It is possible that this is a mechanic (either deliberate or accidental).
For those who prefer metaphors, think of it as a Palimpsest (also an interesting plot device used in Contact and of course comparative mythology).

The Raxxla Gateway!!
As I understand it the systems are largely procedurally generated, with some handcrafted ones in the bubble. I think planet poi, the structures, goid bases etc are downloaded during the system entry hyperspace sequence. But they aren’t detected until you approach within 1000ls (might be longer range if you’re pointing at the planet) or fss.
No, not exactly. What I've found, and what Noobilite is confirming, is that when you search for HD 144218 on the galaxy map the query is accepted and the cursor shows you where the star SHOULD be, but there is nothing displayed on the galaxy map. It's as if there should be a star there to route to, but it's simply empty.This is the same issue with HD 1337 (1337=Elite
One user who posted after me said "yea there are a lot of stars that result in an empty location. like trying to look at the highest star on the map according to EDSM when you search it in galmap you cannot see or target that star at all." According to EDSM the highest star is Dryeau Aub AA-A h4 A. I can see this star on the galaxy map when I search for it, as per any other normal search.
HD 1337 also brings me to a result on the map, not an empty location.
I'm hoping there are other examples and that this is a bug... otherwise...
WE'RE MISSING A STAR BOYS. O_O
Ah yes well, my bad, I should be clearer. Search for HD 1337 again after the first AO Cassiopeia result, it will point to an empty space as well, then it will cycle through the other systems. Like I said in my earlier post, its a possibility that Set A just do not map to Set B accurately as a result of 1. accidental mistake 2. deliberate obfuscation.

In ancient Egypt the colour green (wadj) was associated with death and the power of resurrection as well as new life and fertility. Ancient Egyptians believed that the afterlife contained an eternal paradise, referred to as the 'Field of Malachite', which resembled their lives but with no pain or suffering.
Osiris is the god of fertility, agriculture, the afterlife, the dead, resurrection, life, and vegetation in ancient Egyptian religion.
He was commonly depicted as a pharaoh with a complexion of either green (the color of rebirth) or black (alluding to the fertility of the Nile floodplain) in mummiform (wearing the trappings of mummification from chest downward).

"I have equipped Thoth in the House of the Moon-god, when the fifteenth day of the festival come not. I have taken possession of the Urrt Crown. Truth is in my body; turquoise and crystal are its months. My homestead is there among the lapis-lazuli, among the furrows thereof. I am Hem-Nu, the lightener of the darkness. I have come to lighten the darkness; it is light. I have lightened the darkness."

Hail, Khu, Dweller in the House of the Akhemu gods, thou Beautiful Rudder of the Eastern Heaven. Hail, Governor, Dweller in the House of the Tesheru Gods, thou Beautiful Rudder of the Southern Heaven.)
"Thou rollest up into the horizon, thou hast set light over the darkness, thou sendest forth air from thy plumes, and thou floodest the Two Lands like the Disk at daybreak. Thy crown penetrateth the height of heaven, thou art the companion of the stars, and the guide of every god.
O thou who art in thine egg, who showest from thy Disk, who risest on thy horizon, and dost shine with golden beams in the height of heaven, like unto whom there is none among the gods, who sailest above the Pillars of Shu, who sendest forth blasts of fire from thy mouth, deliver thou Nebseni, the lord of fealty, from the god whose form is hidden, and whose eyebrows are like unto the two arms of the Balance on the night when the sentences of doom are promulgated."
