That old hag on Quy is obsolete. I hear she drinks with all four hands, these days.
The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
Finished with Circe. Nothing found. Nice place if you want to collect elements for engineering though. Lots of landeables and two with geological Sites (one has 40), though with one of those you'd prefer a Mountainbike over the SRV. Sweet for canyoning but not for driving a SRV.
Mmmh... Six months ? Imho, just wait for the FDevs to put back in the game some "part of it a tiny little bit obvious, so people know what they are doing."
Until then..
Edit: yeah.. well.. thx for the rep, Boss, but it is still your fault !
Btw, I can't remember you commenting the fact that the E/F missions giving factions kept moving from the core to the rim of the Bubble (all at ~180 Ly from the start). No intent pattern there in your opinion ?

Following a hypothesis. Decided to backtrack 134ly to a system I’d missed, a long way from anywhere civilised.
Entered system, honked, see a signal way down on left of scale, be still my beating heart!
Scanned all 50 bodies, degraded signal source at 212kls,
listen to it, possibly encrypted voice comms, mmm thinks I!
SC 212kls, drop into uss, to find...
A small data cache & some wreckage.....

Don't think the missions were moving as such. They just weren't unique to Shinrarta Dezhra.
Not considering SD here. TDW never was a mission giver.
Just looking at your excellent front page data makes appear that pattern.(example) https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-to-find-raxxla.168253/post-2571931
From Ticushpakhi to Varati to 49 Arietis to HIP 86063
Your own data.

Now, if any math nerd sees some pattern or something odd here (everybody should, imho) and wants to do some vector geometry and extrapolate the next (co-planar !!!) vectors and points for fun, he could reveal some nice hexagonal figure and maybe make him think.

Isn't it just the direction that Macros happened to be travelling in, whilst looking for TDW missions? If he'd gone in a different direction that data would 'point' that way instead.
Travelling three months, thousands of Ly, across.. a plane in space ?
Anyway only him could say. I just plotted the data. Now, everybody is free to interpret it as he wants.
And, again, TDW never gave these missions. Because most were aimed at spying TDW ! (aside the "diplomatic" missions, ofc, sorry..)

Direction & destinations were purely random, I'm afraid. I wanted to see if border systems also issued the missions. They did.
And nevertheless, among all the systems you visited, those involved in the missions draw that plane and regular figure (angles and distances) across the Bubble...
What regular figure is that?
I see 4 points in 3D space that don't form any particular pattern.
4 points in a plane embedded in a 3D space. ~180 Ly between each and the center. ~ same angles.
I call this regular.
But if you don't... NP

4 points is not sufficient, in my opinion, to draw a conclusion from.
Here's a link to a discussion of the patterns formed by Woolworths stores in central England, for 'gits n shiggles':
Voices of the ancients – Bad Science
Who argues about a conclusion ? I said I just plotted the data. That's what appeared.
Period.
Forget about the "extrapolation' part and you'll be safe.
And if you want more points, just keep adding their coordinates on the plotter I posted and calculate the resulting vectors.

I'm re-reading "and here the wheel" & been having a bash at mis-jumping as described towards the start of the book (initiating the jump then pressing jump again just before the tunnel).
It's not worked but it might be because I visited the local brewery this weekend and my reflexes are a bit 'tired'- has anyone else tried this or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I've checked here but its not really answered if it is included in the game or just some artistic licence from a book written before the game was finalised.

I been trying to find that on paperback but it's been out of stock on the frontier store
I seem to recall way back in the Kickstarter FDev stating that misjumps were NOT in the game and I’m certain the issue has come up before and others have stated that as truth (FWIW).
I hope you at least enjoyed a few pints!
We do NOT argue about everything!!!Come on Scytale...
We argue about everything! That’s part of the fun in this thread!
