The Quest To Find Raxxla

Hello Commanders, I'm sharing this with you in the case you missed it: http://www.drewwagar.com/progress-report/raxxla-the-definitive-guide/

From the wording chosen by Drew I'd bet that he doesn't know the location, only DB.

Then I have an idea, if you remove all filters from the map, you can see some "bright spots": maybe one of those "bright spots" include a very special system?
On the other hand, it could be in a zone with a very difficult access, such as out of the plane of the galaxy, with sparse systems. Which one would be the most probable choice by FD, knowing that "there will be no clues"?

Thanks for sharing, Cmdr. It wasn't missed

I've been wondering about the Raxxla location statement; I find it very curious, if the Great Galactic Father wouldn't know, then who would?

This comes from July 8th 2014, where I met DB in person at the BAFTA awards. My write up of the meeting is here if you're interested. http://www.drewwagar.com/progress-report/the-day-i-met-david-braben/

I managed to chat to him afterwards in the bar. We were talking about the myths and mythos that had grown up around the game and how impactful the game had been open people of the generation that played the original game back in 1984/85.

The subject of alien races came up and, as a writer, he reminded me of an 'Alien background doc' given to the writers as research material. I do have this, but I'm not allowed (due to NDA) to publish it. Raxxla is part of that. None of the writers were allowed to explore Raxxla, it was very much reserved for 'in-house' development (not surprisingly!).

Then DB came out with his statement. I was a little surprise at what he said, but it was in a public space and others overheard it too.

Raxxla definitely exists in ED.

Cheers,

Drew.

Thanks Drew. Now some clue as to the actual location would be nice, I mean 400 billion systems is a bit much to search...

Oh well, I'll keep searching, and if I happen to stumble across Braben, I'll invite him for a drink (or two),

Hi Cmdr, thanks for your input. The existence of Raxxla seems to have been confirmed, so no hoax.
I believe that the UA's has spent a great deal of time in witchspace transported by a large number of Cmdr's. An UA has even been transported to Sgr A* which in itself involves a lot of time in witchspace.
