Im no expert in cats!There was an early 18th century pirate named ‘Calico Jack’ his given name was John Rackham… maybe a distant relative? Also i am intrigued because of course Calico … is also a type of cat…
Ah ya missed jorki pointing it out

In my language ROTA means , path ,route , every 7/8 year old here knows the word....cool analogyJoker's Deck - then there's the association with the Tarot in that it also consists of four suits each with knave, king, queen and ace. According to some (misguided individuals), there's the occult link with the word tarot itself - Tora being law (Pentateuch/first 5 books of the bible (implied because early deck 'major aracana' trump cards were ascribed with a Hewbrew letter)) being an anagram of Rota (Latin wheel/turning) which when joined up moving left and character-wrapping from 'T' (T > A > R > O > T) reads tarot (borrowing from the same word group itself) with the final 'T' to make a wheel).
However, for myself making this association from Joker's Deck to try and 'find' an association with a 'Wheel' from the paragraph immediately above (Deck of Cards > Tarot > anagram = 'ROTA' = 'wheel') is too far-fetched and would be outside of the typical sanity and positive mental health of any normal person or player. I mention it because it's the first thing I thought (proves I am not all there!) and that sometimes, digging for these clues will take you down any old rabbit hole...
I blame @CMDR Zulu for giving me the idea in the first place!
(POST EDIT: and that's before we even begin to talk about the joker!)
According to Mr Wagar that seems not logical. When Raxxla was first mentioned it Achenar was not even settled. So it has to be in 200ly from sol(ca 26000 stars) Mostlikely in an unhinabited system or a planet far out from it suns(futher than discovery scanner alows) or its not visible on HUD scope inside the ship.We always seem to have theories that end up having a already discovered system as possible location for Raxxla. EDSM gives you howmuch a system is scanned and all of those are always 100% scanned. I don't think they could be hiding something there. I think if Raxxla were to be ingame that it wouldn't be in a system that's already fully scanned on EDSM. We should either look at systems that aren't fully scanned on EDSM or not scanned for EDSM. The reason why I refer to EDSM is because there are systems that are discovered in game but not fully scanned for EDSM. Which means they still could be hiding something. But big systems like Delphi or Merope are very unlikely to still have unscanned things.
Once again, you dont need to see/have/find Raxxla to know of its existence. It can be known from 3rd party info such as an alien artefact or communicated by aliens etc. So you can't assume just because the 1st mention is early that its in Sol and surroundings.According to Mr Wagar that seems not logical.

Oh and the FSS can see to infinity..Once again, you dont need to see/have/find Raxxla to know of its existence. It can be known from 3rd party info such as an alien artefact or communicated by aliens etc. So you can't assume just because the 1st mention is early that its in Sol and surroundings.
Well, not had confirmation that anyone has decoded Thargoidian. Ram Tah has said nothing about Raxxla from Guardian decyphers. An alien artefact is exactly that, alien, so likely to convey little meaning other than that aliens had been there to drop it.Once again, you dont need to see/have/find Raxxla to know of its existence.

It can't detect comets.And if the fss could detect everything then we’d have found TDW station AND Raxxla by now.
I didn't mean literally everything is found by FSS, but bodies and signal sources are found up to infinite radius within a system, unlike the old discovery scanner that had limited range. So if a system is honked these days, then all bodies and signals are shown. It cant show things that only exist within an instance such as the recent hidden megaship, and comets don't really exist as bodies in game even if things can orbit their non-existency (which is weird..)Well, not had confirmation that anyone has decoded Thargoidian.

But there is one strange thing that I’d like answered-a tourist beacon tells us of Augustus Brenquith’s solitary search for new worlds and that he had found Ackwada since an ancient message capsule was recovered from outside the orbit of Jupiter with his data crystal that told us so. SO how did that data crystal get to Jupiter? Is there perhaps a wormhole there?
And if the fss could detect everything then we’d have found TDW station AND Raxxla by now.
P.S. and I seem to remember at least one megaship in an asteroid belt that it recently failed to find!
Thx a lot! I never thought comets could exist in gameAd comets: look for something like this: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...-drop-into-normal-space-close-to-them.350586/
The “ glittering legacy” makes me think of the Tholmathon “crystal record”. I also like the fact that the seal was broken and one would assume the first volume of his discoveries… stolenThe official discovery of this system and its habitable planet is nowadays sccredited to Augustus Brenquith, although the Rockforth Corporation claim the land deeds and development rights to the system. Thirty nine years after the Corporation declared the system its own; an ancient message capsule (a common way for sending messages at the time) was recovered from outside the orbit of Jupiter in the Sol syste,.
The discovery aroused considerable interest amongst archeologists on Earth at the time while the capsule was in transit to the New Delhi University there was heated debate as to whether the artefact should be opened or not. When the capsule was studied, the seal was seen to be broken, so the matter was resolved. Inside the capsule was a message crystal with the log of the second five years of Augustus Brenquith's solitary search for new worlds, his 'glittering lagacy', included in the list of planetary systems that he had stumbled upon was that of Ackwada
We all know the saying: "Place that isn't a place, door that is also the key." The Main Menu isn't a place, you could be almost outside the Galaxy, no where near a station, and the main menu still shows you docked. The main menu is a door to the world of ED, and it is the key to open that door as well. So either the main menu is raxxla, or there are hints about where raxxla is. Either of those, or I am completely off.
