Mmm, not sure I want to be pecked to death by Aquila!
And I see another victim of covid19 hairstyling!
DIY job was it??

Cool story. The swan makes yet another mystical appearance.
Interesting, yea I think it would have to be be much bigger for them to do anything about it. What I was thinking was more of a misinformation campaign which would cause confusion in the community. You could even work in some current hypothesis that people have come up with and say they’re definitely true. If fdev comes out and says it’s not then at the very least it would let us know we’re going in the wrong direction. Like I said though just a thought since it seems that this search has been going in circles for a while now
Just a note, inara doesnt show all squardons in the game... for example mine doesnt show up....
I think you have to re-create your squadron in inara if you want it to show there...
Hi guys, not wanting to add fuel to the already inpolite language around this subject, and yes please lets all try and be civil, but whilst I'm currently out of the game for a while, I had some time to spare and decided to look into the 'that' image again.
My origianl assessment was based off a very poor mobile screen grab, but I've since loaded it up into my 4k plasma and Photoshop.
The Quest To Find Raxxla
The name of the target in the blurred panel seems too long Image forensics also returned some blurry artifacts over the target: But the cockpit also got this blurred effect around it: Not sure what it worth... Also the user don't have any other pictures posted on imgur and seems to have...forums.frontier.co.uk
To give some back ground info, I do work in the field of 'information interogation' and trained in fine art / film making and digital manipulation. There are many ways to manipulate such an image and a lot of ways to un-mask certain effects, but there are a few simple ways to mask editing by 100% if you know what you are doing.
Normally the only way to tell if an image has been fiddled with is if the creator is poor at hiding their tracks, or to manipulate the colours etc, to look for patterns etc and also crack the meta-data (which I cant do out of the office). Anyhoo going off what meta data is available it looks to have been scrubbed, which is probably the hosts platforms normal practise.
The text at the bottom left had been smudged, in my opion, not blurred as blurring can be undone, I cant un-smudge it outside the office, but if you flip the contrast, volume, and colours etc there is a few letters visible, but nothing can be obtianied from it, personally I think they applied a mobile smudge effect over the top of the original image, as its just mostly noise. If it were me, I would also flatten and screen grab the image a few times too to hide any history.
The image in the centre, I cant see any tells, e.g. replication, patterns etc and there seems to be a natural glow in the backdrop (under false colours) which fits and disipates with the rest of the image, if it is edited then its a good edit, but again its easy to do.

This is the best quality image I can get of the centre of the picture (shown here in B/W for better detail), its sperical, brownish with golden lines converging, it has a reflective surface indicating either an object or an astronomical body, the pattern also seems to match the holo display.
To reiterate my initial assessment my personal opinion was that it was balderdash. And I stand with that still as its still a singular peice of information, nothing to support it.
Such information, as is submitted here, can be best described as 'unreliable' and the source is certainly 'unknown', on its own and using scientific principles it cant be supported on that basis alone.
If you follow the standards for attributing confidence to investigative intelligence, information only becomes reliable once it can be said at best to be 'known directly' or 'indirectly but corroborated'. Anything lower is untested or unreliable.
I would just go hmmmm probably not, but maybe, who-knows?
Guys, guys lets think about these so called "proofs" for a second. Because this images and all the arguement around it being real or fake let the new comers fall in to an indesirable confusion.Lets think it from your own side. If you managed to find raxxla for real, do you want to share it with community or keep it to your self? Lets pick the first option, and assume you are a giving person. What would you do? knowing that there are known images and hoaxers around this topic,
sending an image wouldnt work due to lying shepherd syndrome. Image twisting and photoshopping is no big deal at this time, so you have the other reliable option: send a god damn video! Why there is not a single damn video evidence from this people?
Second option, you want to keep it to your self either you are a selfish , or you think compromising this secret will damage peoples ambitions and gameplay what so ever.
Personally, if i find raxxla myself, i would think for a while before i go completely public because it may hurt hunters will to find it themselves, first i should make some videos of how to find it, which clues to follow, which beliefs are wrong etc. And of course there would be an indeniable video record of it which shows im there, lookint at it.
Whatever you want to believe in, its your choice guys. No one has the right to tell you what to believe, what to deny. But unless someone shows me a solid video evidence, im not buying any of these images.
i know most of you are PC players, but just curious if anyone else is having sync issues with EDSM.... Im logged in thru frontier auth service and xbox login as I always do, but the dashboard keeps saying frontier auth service is unavailable... its done like 6 tries... i even logged out, closed my browser, cleared cookies and cache, and tried, still nothing
I know Frountier support has listed an Xbox issue, but thats been going on for days now and only seems to be effecting arx balance checks and the occational person being dropped from the server... nothing that should stop EDSM api from wokring....
Just wondering if its my computer/browser or if others are experiencing it too...
and back to topic... I found this link....

and its says somthing that I was told a while ago wasnt true....
well, i was told by my friend a long time ago, that the stations dont have FSDs, just thrusters for orbit keeping ect... but this would seem to say that they do, and not only that stations have FSD drives, but that the stations do in fact move on occasion.
well... if stations can have FSD drives, it brings back the really old theory that I had a long time ago, that TDW station and possibly even Raxxla itself, depending on what it actually is, could infact be moving thru the game, from system to system... so finding it could be even harder than we thought as previously checked systems could still have the loaction if it moves into it....
I found a theory online elsewhere as well that mentions an idea that possibly Raxxla itself my be positionally locked to the Andromeda galaxay, and move as it moves, but that theory requires Raxxla to be a portal to that galaxy and the Raxxlan race of reptilians... so idk, but just worth mentioning....

OMG i just realized im in Daytona Beach, Florida!! I can watch it live outside lmao, if this damn rain stopps before launch, lol.... i was just watching the cams and noticed its raiing there and went "bing" in my head, lol... i almost want to drive down but its an hour drive and with the storm going on in my area, my dogs will go nutz if i leave them for like 6 hours alone, lol
Meaning? Is it just becuase its a backer named station or somthing? or an other reason?
Jacques station was a special station with an FSD that us players fueled to get to beagle point. However, it did not make it, and it landed in what is now known as the Colonia system.
(if any of this is wrong, let me know)
REALLY? wow, lol cant bellieve i didnt know that..... kewl....
But does that complete negate the possibility of oother stations have FSDs? or am I just being overly liberal with the tin foil this month?
Jacques Station is a one-off. It has an FSD and there was a community goal going back three or four years ago where the playerbase ran commodities to fuel the station for a jump to Beagle Point. It failed and then there was another CG to repair it. To my knowledge, there is no other station in game that has an FSD or can jump. Visually, the FSD is modeled on Jacques station. You can actually see the drives. Haven't see that anywhere else.
I think it does, yeah.
Coooool..... i didnt notice when i was there but I wasnt looking... I will on next trip...
Ocellus stations can be fitted with thrusters and FDS, according to lore. I think you can see them in game, on new incomplete stations.
Ocellus
The Ocellus starport is a recent station design introduced in 3260 by Imperial ship manufacturer Gutamaya, and now present throughout human space. The forefront of exploration technology, the Ocellus is designed to be both mobile and self-sufficient. It can be fitted with engines and a...
