To find raxxla we would need entire community, about 1 500 000 commanders... Which is impossible without... dunno, mind-controlling technology? Well, then we would just force devs to tell us [big grin]
Was there anything else in the chatter?
Hey Guys,
just came back from an exploration trip to barnards loop for barnacle searching. So far no joy. Just as I have nearly returned to Maia I bumped into a distress signal. I was really suprised to see the Federation Farragut Cruiser "Thunderer" in it who claimed it was heaving difficulties from an attack by 2 sidewinders, an eagle and a dropship. After killing the deadly armada threating the noble Federation Battlecruiser I was flying closer to make some screenshots. Is this a normal distress call signal scenario? I haven´t seen such one. Sector was Pleiades Sector GW-W C1-13 just 11 ly from Maia. What is Federation doing out here in such force? One drive was burning, maybe it was UA damage???? Would explain why there weren´t able to turn on like one of these super laser turrets to make short process of these punks. Bad that I have no cargo scanner. Can I even cargo scan a battlecruiser?
Edit: I can´t upload the pictures I have taken
I tend to agree. Reason being that every time a bona fide puzzle or clue gets injected, the power of crowd sourcing or some random smart person cracks it in an afternoon meaning one can make the case that the designers don't have much choice other than to allow players to believe there are solvable puzzles when in fact it's usually just a few POIs hidden somewhere random without any actionable clues to go on.
The fact that any cicada 3301 puzzle solutions get solved and posted online, ever, might support this assertion regarding the power of crowd sourcing. ED in game puzzles, which are much easier, just get solved too quickly to use for slow evolving plot elements.
That said, video games are in part about using one's imagination and/or role playing. So if it's enjoyable for some to try and solve in game riddles and puzzles that are only just suspected to exist or be solvable, I don't see anything wrong with that. It's why I read this thread when I know there's very likely nothing new coming before an update rolls out.

Gotta agree with this.
Being an Xbox Cmdr, I could only watch this thread and try to offer suggestions. Despite the involuntary inactivity I was genuinely excited when the first Barnacle was found.
Since then there hasn't been much to explore except for the Formidine Rift Mystery, but even that is starting to fizzle out for me seeing as nothing has been really discovered about it. Ignoring the waiting game and still speculating and hypothesising can still be fun, if not maddening.
There should hopefully be some Canonn-related action starting this week to keep you entertained . Not mysteries, but to help us do MOAR SYENCE!
Formidine Rift...
The Formidine Rift isn't where Raxxla is IMHO. I'd bet on two people at most knowing where that is, and Drew Wagar isn't one of them.
But I do believe him on knowing about something, possibly equally stun-worthy.
Not even sure we're looking the right place at the moment though - when you look at the gap between those two arms, that's a *lot* of space. Plus, searching the gap itself isn't right, per the description from Reclamation - need to get *across* the rift and to other side right?

Raxxla is certainly where the unknown artifacts arent. The formiddible rift is best left to groups who have specailist knowledge and members in the exploration of deep space sphere.
Dr Archcannon is out of his depth on this project and any information out of his office is likley to be fluff at best, drew wagnar is the way forward, ignore attempts to discredit him as he has time and knowledge and is working with children of raxxla, sirius inc and a few other groups to figure this out, we have nothing to report at this point so our public statements will be minimal, commanders are welcome to come and join any of these groups or the indepdant efforts of exploration subreddit where most of this is being co ordinated. Id rather keep cannon research out of it so they can focus on the unknown artifacts. the elephant in the room is likley to lead us down unproducitive paths.

I don't think 2mass is a cluster or region at all. 2mass is as far as I know, a star catalogue. It contains star systems with exo-planets or possible exo-planets, as of today (2016). 2mass systems can be found in any direction from Sol, but only within limited distance.
Triggered.
Canonn is for all science, not just UA. We see all (except Reddit, cos its )

Using the equation for a line Y=MX+b you can take the cords of those planets and determine the cords farther out, all the way to the rim and beyond.
I haven't found anything of value along that line yet on the gal map

Best post I've read on these forums for a while
Have all the rep (well just 1 as it's all I can give )I just popped a vein laughing so hard at the last page or so
Barnacles are Thargoid poop!
Think about it, what you guys are hunting and scooping up is the digestion product of an Alien Race that was once left on another Planet.
After a while, another Race comes along admiring these pilars and wondering how they got created.
The Freelance Report "Pleased to eat you" makes my theory even more funny than it was already

I'm literally giggling like an idiot right now.
I'd love to see mr WAGNAR pop in to say he has nothing to do with Bob's formiddible search.
Would rep you so hard, but I'd have to spread it around first.
Does that... uh... include social science (BGS) on small remote systems?
Maybe not. But I will be back doing Canonn science some day. See my avatar for proof.
