Does this station on Frontier: First Encounters looks almost similar characteristics to the Raxxla icon other then Raxxla is a Hexagon?
I've thought that also. It would fit both the time they let one person into the system we know they develop from that is off the galmap. It also fits the thing about someone having been in the system and not scanning but only refueling and leaving. It could have been the same thing. And it would explain ***ody doing it since. The only way to test it would be to get a lot of fuel rats and try to get ships near the system and the edge of the galmap to actually jump to it. Not sure how long that would take. Several years? Max speed is 2001c.... Probably have to get maxed out anacondas or corvettes or whichever has the maximum fuel capacity. Maybe a mix of them and try to fly and have fuel rats fly in and reset back to base and keep refueling along a chain of other ship if it's even possible. You could probably brute force to it's location if you really wanted too. Unless the time is too great. Call it the Raxxla Initiative.
You would have to leave one ship behind and keep going to it to refill. probably sending many ships at once or leaving meany ships behind to save time. Then have one ship go to the next while a group of other ships leaves ships at the next location and follow the line or ladder step to the next locations. Pre planning would save lots of time too. It would be funny to see fdevs reaction as a massive fleet of ships lowly makes it way to their hq in space!! ><
If you can get really fuel efficient ships you could send cutters as fuel depots and then have the most fuel efficient ship in supercruise simply follow and refuel over and over as other ship refuel along the way. Does that even make sense?! Actually a maxed out anaconda only needs 8 tons of fuel. So, you would be fine as long as you can get enough cutters in line and refuel on the way. It should last quite a while as a supply depot. I was thinking filing the anaconda with max fuel for travel. I wonder what ship gets the most milage in supercruise. I never did go over that aspect of the game.
Edit: why is the word *ody filtered out. I'm assuming this is a british filter and it's getting rid of the word *... no body is filter at the first three letters. That is a bad filter design.
Sadly you can’t Supercruise between systems, you just end up at a marker in space that says you’re right there, but aren’t until you actually jump.
That three letter word is an insult in British slang (and with some Americans), but it’s a horrible filter to filter based on partial matching that way...
Magrathea - first search I ever typed into the star map, before I ever heard of Raxxla... Of course, it should be in the horse head nebula..
Can edsm tell me where I can get an infinite improbability drive?
The "Heart of Gold" containing the experimental improbability drive that obsoleted the need for the Earth to be destroyed by the Vogons to make way for an interstellar bypass was apparently built on, and stolen from the planet Damogran but I can't recall if that was the same place the drive itself was invented.
In Tau Ceti we have the Hidden Mountain Estate installation.
I believe this to be a clue of what to look for. I have located more than 20 planets named after some of the most notable mountains, islands and rivers on Earth.
Yes, yes it is, but if you listen to the linked chapter of the book that's not why that island on Damogran, or "France" were named as such.I was just referencing MakeMake was deity in Easter Island from Rapa Nui mythology.
I should put this out there, if only to muddy the waters even further...
We seem to be dealing with a game world which has become much greater than the sum of all it's parts, but how much of it is random tributes to DB's favourite science fiction writers and characters and how much has been specifically hand placed as a result of logical, contemporary astronomical wisdom?
To illustrate, quote: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."
Present day physicists seem convinced that galaxies, along with everything else in the mind bogglingly vast Universe move about very, VERY quickly. Therefore, a long time ago, OUR galaxy wasn't where it is now, it could only have been far, far away and there is plenty of conjecture out there on the interwebz to suggest the current level zero human civilisation was not the first, or the smartest to have lived here over the last 300,000 years or so according to dating estimates of anatomically current human remains (I'm going to have to dig around a bit for a concise link supporting this claim).
We appear to have lost the technology to replicate the Giza plateau, or the 800~900 ton Trilithon stones at Baalbek so who cut(?) and placed them, and far more importantly, when did they do it and why have the current batch of humans that repopulated the Earth forgotten how the previous folks did it?
We're about to embark down a rabbit hole of immense proportion. Please secure your tin foil hats in the upright position as we consider this youtube video that was conveniently uploaded yesterday. Ironically, when the student is ready, the master appears. For significantly more discussion on the subject of extinction level catastrophic events that have periodically struck the Earth (and daily cosmic weather reports), please continue to the channel linked therein with thanks to Jimmy, suspicious0bservers...
Edited to anticipate the next post...
Q. Er, Six, mate, how does this relate to Raxxla?
A. Umm, it doesn't exactly, it was more a reference to scale, in space and time.
We may need to expand the parameters of our tiny little monkey(?) brains somewhat
Edit, edit: For those who's minds are not sufficiently blown rudely out of shape yet...

The thick plottens, eh![]()
At this point I'm on the thought process of taking a strong look at Tau Ceti and Van Maanen's.
I've compiled a spreadsheet of Every single asset in both systems and have used it to track the names of things in those systems into other systems through an extensive search of eddb's system, station, and bodies database for all names involved.
Both of those systems should know the whereabouts of Raxxla, or contain clues to finding it, whatever it may be. As a detective with no real clues to the whereabouts of the missing thing, these are all we have to start with. You may be surprised with what you find by doing this one simple thing and googling the names and words of the assets
to find out who and what the names and words are.
Another thing I've come to understand is who and what Art is in the codex. Art is a Ship Born Mechanic.
At first glance this may appear to say he was born on a ship and repairs them. But if you look at Art as a ship based game mechanic than he takes on a different function.
The DW is conducting tests. What is the one way that a faction tests us? Missions. That's all. That's the only venue through which we get contacted by anyone,
outside of Tip-Offs, which lets face it, are kind of dry. So using Art as a ship based game mechanic, where is the art? Possibly in the artistic depictions of characters?
Cora, she sounds like she likes to have fun. Either she's a rich social butterfly, a pirate or a rebel.
She seems to know of Pirate treasure, so she is likely to be in association with those factions. If she's a pirate or rebel, the suggestion below will make it easier to identify her.
And she clearly needs a ride in your ship to find it. Passenger missions maybe? Probably.
If you go to Tau Ceti or Van Maanen's star and take a look at their contacts you will notice that they have a tattoo on their forehead.
For Van Maanen's they have 4 hexagons with a leading line toward the center. There are 2 other forehead tattoos you will find in game as well.
One looks like a square bar code and the other, a single stripe that looks like a swipe of ash such as worn by the Gateway Jet Brotherhood, and some other factions.
Almost all pirate factions have one of the three, almost all of them. Some just have triangles or a set of hexagons tattooed on their neck.
I've been keeping an eye out specifically for passengers with one of the 3 tattoos. Sometimes I find them in non-pirate faction jobs.
They appear to always lead me to systems of importance in the history of the game and to systems which contain bodies named after mountains or rivers,
or something that can be tied to Tau Ceti or Van Maanen assets or even the DW affiliated stations Neumann and Paulson.
I'm not real sure if you're supposed to look for one tattoo type over the other at this point though.
I've been using these identifiers and have had some interesting results.
Once you ally yourself with Van Maanen your passenger missions contact for the Sublime order of Van Maanen goes from being Divine Galen Elliot that you meet in Tau Ceti to Kaylie Winters and her position is Pilgrimage Mentor,
you'd be the student is she's the mentor, and you appear to be on a pilgrimage to something.
They're the Guardians of the Free Spirit and they believe hardship is the way to live a full life.
Brute forcing our way in probably isn't a sensible plan, or walking a mile in his fluffy bunny carpet slippers but we can use our imagination to speculate on his favourite books and movies based on any evidence we can find.
Possibly, but it’s not very likely.Can edsm tell me where I can get an infinite improbability drive?
