Yea I knew of the mechanic if you typed in say crab nebula it'll take you to a star within crab nebula. I've never seen it actually take you to a completely different named star when typing what he demonstrated.

Oh yea i see what you mean. Because it brings you to the crab pulsar. It does this with spirograph nebula also
It happens because there are several different observatories, universities and national space agencies which have quite different catalouging techniques and names. For example if you write HD 91316 to your galaxy map, it will show you my jewel, which is looking upon our galaxy from top. The Id of the stars in the Henry Draper catalogue is HD. HIP 51624 is the reference name for the jewel in the Hipparcos Star Catalogue. Rho Leonis is the Bayer Classification for the star.
Yes, you can randomly get message from mysterious stranger sending u somewhere to check something.

Tip off missions (i believe is what you mean) have so far been inconclusive. I almost always chase them down when I get them just in case though
Ye, so can you say you did 20 total or so?
was looking up exotic stars this eve, short but interesting as there is a station called "Dark Star"

Greetings Commanders,
possibly an old hoax, but it looks interesting nevertheless. I haven't found this link in the forum, so I post it here. If I'm wrong, sorry and forget this post.
So, has someone checked this picture?: Too good to be true?
Could be manipulated, of course. But for me it doesn't seem so. I've checked the image using Gimp and other tools. And it might be real.
I can't find any strange artifacts in this picture, which would suggest a manipulation.
Please prove me wrong or I'll go crazy.
What do you think? Confirmed hoax? Manipulated image? (If yes, how can you tell that it has been manipulated? (I'm eager to learn ..))
I'm panning and zooming around the galaxy map to find an angle which could lead to the possible area where the pic was taken. Difficult..
A simple way is to look at the R. The font is wrong in the picture. iirc when this picture first came out, I checked in game with other R fonts and they were consistent with each other, i.e. the picture has the wrong R font. I might be wrong, you guys can try seeing it in game again.

More than 15 at least. But tbh i havent been keeping track
Thought I'd leave this here, as it was an interesting answer on the topic of Raxxla by an Bruce Garrido (Starts @ 2:24:15)
It shows the other stars in the system when you target it in the galmap
Thanks ! First time using that and I was getting insane.
Yes, I’ve done a few in the past, but never consistently (have refused a few) & definitely not gone looking for them. The “mysterious stranger” phrase is enticing, might well fit TDW, but does the type of mission? And if so would it be the total number of them done? The geographic spread? Is there a count for these in the Cmdr stats?

How far in are you talking about? I haven’t got 2.5 hours to spare to watch the whole thing; this is why I dislike livestreams!!
thanks, hadn't spotted the time, just dived straight into the vid.
Doesnt actually say anything that we havent said in this thread many times. It's nice to have a mystery to chase, the hunt is where the fun lies & finding it might be disappointing, good if one person finds it and perhaps exploits it somehow, maye not so good if many find it, would be nice for finding it to start a whole new mystery...
