This is level 11 of finding Atlantis with the Galaxy DLC
Productive post indeed.Sorry, just dropped in to point out that after 390 pages of this thread, you still haven't found it?
Well, I'm not even sure we're any closer to finding Raxxla than when this thread was created. But so far the journey's been fun, tho.
Sort of, all I can say without breaking any copyrights, the name-generation is based on a carefully constructed string. It should be the same as used in early Elite games. However it changes depending on version/edition.
You can get the source for the name-generation in several online repositories for the Oolite universe.
One place is the "Oolite interactive map":
Via 3dOoliteGals.js you can read & reconstruct the name-generation from the "function getSystemName(w0, w1, w2)"
If you wish to play the Oolite edition (sorry, getting offtopic) have a look here: http://www.oolite.org/download/
Sorry, I thought it would be nice to share this, but I'll stay away from responding anything that goes offtopic Raxxla from here on.
"Can't jump to a planet" they said.
Did it. 3... 2... 1...
It was to debunk the myth that "FDev left us a clue here at 5:19 where they jumped to a planet, which we can't do" at 5:19
I just wanted to prove that it was a bug in the game-engine.

Did the live stream video D2EA made give any results? He ended up with a list that was pretty narrowed down.
Do we know, roughly how much of the galaxy has been explored now? I was a little stunned to see in the Codex that I had visited 3000 systems, without exploring too much, mostly inside the Bubble. I consider myself a newbie. I know the galaxy is huge, but how many systems are accessible? Is it literally hundreds of billions?
In that case, if Raxxla was located at the far side of the galaxy, it seems that it would take some time to find it, unless someone was very lucky?
And even though I've never tried to hunt Raxxla, nor do I understand half the stuff that's said here, I've always enjoyed reading about it. Keep up the good work everyone (however many forum pages it takes).
Good point.Suspicious isn’t it! And you’re other half would be Three, and there are a lot of triangles in ED, including the basis for the rotating hexagons in the HUD. Admit it, youre a Raxxlan in disguise adding to the obfuscation to keep us from finding the goal!
I would like to point out to anyone finding triangles / patterns to go have a look at this quite funny and interesting watch on youtube, about 1 hour of your time.
Science 101 by Matt Parker from 2010.
Altough a bit low quality (DVD) this is still one of the best summaries I've seen from Mr. Parker, the later one's are just excerpts from this one.
From 5-6:00 minutes he'll be hammering your mind with what we humans are wired to do.
Pattern analytics is a quite tough challenge.

Accordingly to EDSM:
0.009639% of the galaxy has been discovered on EDSM, it will take 39,934 years, 8 months, 9 days to discover it entirely.
EDSM listed only stars reported by 3d party software directly from commanders who use it, but this is exactly that rough estimate you wanted to see.
So, if we exclude all permit-locked regions, we can estimate roughly 20 000 years to find Raxxla by brute-force exploring

I'm entirely certain someone could easily write a program that would essentially find raxxla.Accordingly to EDSM:

iirc its hidden in the code

I kind of doubt that Raxxla will reveal it self from regular scanning and probing. 20 000 years is probably a bit low.
Dont worry mate, we dont understand half the stuff said here either!
It’s the craic that counts! Keeps you (relatively) sane during the Quest!

We definitely need progenitor cells or dumb luck.
I'll get by on Eranin Pearl, until we get there.
Most probably you are correct. I think it behaves like Voyagers and will reveal itself in contacts in close proximity only. In this case it can be in any system, even in the Bubble or nearby.I kind of doubt that Raxxla will reveal it self from regular scanning and probing. 20 000 years is probably a bit low.
DW just posted this to his twitter and Website on the second anniversery of the Salome event! Not the text. Apparently no one noticed it last year. Maybe it is dark wheel related? (Premonition has a lot of what appear to possibly be Dark Wheel characters in it.)
Best first guess at the left side text: (looks to be a calligraphy font)
ZL/YNFG/ERDHRFG/VF/GUNG/LBH/NYJNLF/.../ERZRZORE
VIA CANONN DECRYPTOR (That thing is awesome!!!!)
My Last Request is that you always ...Remember
So Remeber is likely the key for the text on the right?
