Author attempted to extract coordinates from debug screenshots using RA/Dec conversion methods, testing multiple calculated positions (X: ±181/±19, Y: ±2424/±48, Z: ±121/±13) finding mostly empty grid space. Identified systems with 'GD' designation and noted proximity to Lagoon Nebula region.
Great pictures, Julio! If I may come with a suggestion: Take the pictures from the Debug view, that way you'll don't see the cockpit. Open the GalMap, and simply scroll to the coordinates, sadly the ones I suggested is a grid containing no stars. Spoiler http://i.Please use another image host/iIECYuC.png Click to expand... Ahoy lad! I'll use the external view more often from now on How did you get the coords shown? I'll try to add up the coordinates and see what comes out like this: RA = X XX= Y LA = Z Edit: OK i activated the grid, absolutely nothing at: X = +/- 181 Y = +/- 2424 (too high/low) Z = +/- 121 Edit: By just adding i come up with: X = +/- 19 Y = +/- 48 Z = +/- 13 Too much in the area, two times a system with the "GD" designation. Hmm... not sure thi...
Author reports observing a weird star constellation from system G 99-49 that may hint toward 'RAXXLA'. Image evidence provided but details not described in text.
Here is a pic of a weird star constellation viewed from G 99-49: A hint towards "RAXXLA"?
Macros Black proposes searching the bubble by dividing it into 50Ly³ cubes using EDSM API, looking for systems with rogue bodies (no orbital periods). Estimates ~8000 cubes to search.
Leave no stone unturned I've received a PM offering help in the search for Raxxla. It is much appreciated. The PM lists two possibilities for the location; the bubble and the Formidine Rift. So I've been thinking about those two areas, and decided why not start with the bubble. Next question is how to best organize the search as not to waste effort. I have no answer for that yet, except that it must be easy to use, delegation of areas must be simple and it must easy to get an overview of progress. Determining the systems to visit could made using the cube systems method available in edsm.net. Maybe exclude any inhabited systems, and then look at bodies to see if anyone of them have no orbital periods, suggesting a roque body such as Raxxla.
Detailed explanation of cube-based search method using EDSM API. Initial cube at [-500,-500,-500] returned 2 systems: Synuefai XB-K b26-0 & Synuefai UJ-P d6-9, with first discoveries found 334Ly from Sol.
How to eat an elephant You divide it into smaller chunks and then begin to eat the first chunk. Using the cube method in edsm.net to provide the system names in a 50*50*50Ly cube is a good start. So (over) estimating the bubble to be a cube of 1000Ly*1000Ly*1000Ly gives 8000 cubes of 50Ly*50Ly*50Ly. 8000 cubes, that sounds easy... So starting in the corner of [-500,-500, -500] and giving edsm.net this query:https://www.edsm.net/api-v1/cube-sy...ze=50&showPermit=1&showInformation=1&coords=1, I got 2 systems returned: Synuefai XB-K b26-0 & Synuefai UJ-P d6-9. Inspecting the systems in GalMap shows more systems in the area, so I got curious as to why I only got 2 systems returned. Now a number of good reasons could explain why they weren't included, such as the missing systems simply isn't ...
Demonstrates that 'outer rim' is legitimate astronomical terminology used for system boundaries, citing Sedna discovery article as example of professional usage.
Well.. THE outer rim is what is written. But, of course, due to the well-known far-fetched minds of our FDevs could be any "outer rim" of any possible "thing"...but I never heard speaking about "outer rims" of systems. Never. Besides the Milky Way, I can imagine the outer rim of a Nebula, even of a cluster, even of the bubble ... but outer rim of a system ?...never heard. Did you ? Besides, "outer rim" means there would be an "inner rim" imho not very adequate for a system.. but again, who is in the minds of our FDevs ? Click to expand... It's not uncommon to talk about the outer rim of a system, like in this article about the discovery of Sedna: http://www.spacedaily.com/news/kuiper-04b.html
Proposes Perimeter Nebula as hiding place for Raxxla based on nebulae being suitable for obfuscation, though investigation found it was player-named rather than official game object.
Our Addams pet-penguin is unbeatable at this kind of exercises. Click to expand... None of the 88 modern constellations has a name that's going to fit with those letters. Maybe there's a system called 'Perimeter' somewhere. Oooh! There IS the Perimeter nebula... We've been told that nebulae are good places to hide (obfuscate) things. I might almost comsider that significant enough to follow up on. [Edit] Finally got in-game and no sign of the Perimeter nebula - seems it's player-named as part of the Galactic Mapping project. Back to the drawing board
Suggests 'obfuscated in the outer rim' may refer to outer limits of a specific system like Shinrarta Dezhra, where obfuscation would fit naturally within system geography.
So in your opinion " a certain celestial body, the key which is also the door, a place which isn't a place, the myth" is not "obfuscated in the outer rim " ? These are the only things we know for sure in E: D about Raxxla. And they come all together in the same "clue". (I would add the " tiny little bit obvious" thing being the connection with TDW ) Click to expand... Outer rim could mean the outer limits of a system, e.g. Shinrarta Dezhra. Obfuscated would then fit very nicely into that.
Proposes that 'outer rim' in Dark Wheel context refers to the outer rim of the Wheel organization itself rather than galaxy or system boundaries, providing alternative meaning to the obfuscation clue.
Well.. THE outer rim is what is written. But, of course, due to the well-known far-fetched minds of our FDevs could be any "outer rim" of any possible "thing"...but I never heard speaking about "outer rims" of systems. Never.

It seems to me that if we are talking about "rims" in the context of "The Dark Wheel" we might very well be talking about the outer rim of the Wheel and not the rim of a galaxy or a star system at all.
Rim Nebula located 4.3 kly from the Bubble in the outer rim of the galactic arm proposed as potential Raxxla location. Speculates connection to 'obfuscated in the outer rim' clue.
Rim Nebula, 4.3 Kly from the Bubble, in the outer rim of our arm ...could be the real thing ! (Which, by the way, reminds me my original tinfoiling about Raxxla actually being the Mystery of the F. Rift ... [haha])
RAXXLA decoded using Greek numerals yields 101, 600, 631 pattern resembling coordinates; tested various combinations without success.
Another crazy idea. RAXXLA is so strange name. Was it descripted in old books? This doubled XX and single L... Right arm shoulder shoulder and left arm? No. It is so similar with Roman numerals. And so easy to start thinking about Col 70 Sector systems. That LXX = 70. But what is RA and A? There was "medieval Roman numerals" with alphabetical numerals... No! I should to stop here! Mixing numerals is the wrong way. Click to expand... Greek numerals work better. You get 101 600 631. That at least looks like coordinates. Not that I have found anything at any of the combinations or negative number varieties.
Explorer observed unusual geometric pattern near HD 38563C described as a wall of stars with solid corners, suggesting artificial geometric structure. Also noted linear pattern of stars spanning galactic center.
The bubble is a lie!!!!!111!!!! There is only one shape in this galaxy. And it is the cube!!! 8D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAWSkYqqkMA We know what is going on now. They are trying to kill us all!! Once it is finished we will all be stuck in it and we are finished!!!! Raxxla will be the trap. It will portal us in and we will never be able to leave! I noticed it near HD 38563C. It was a wall of stars. I knew instantly something was up. I moved around and found solid corners etc.... https://Please use another image host/a/Tj2fTl1 BTW, there is also a line of stars at the center of the galaxy. It seems to basically span the whole thing. (some of this is col 70 but it keeps going far past it.) https://Please use another image host/25xAqsk The same line pattern appears on mail sl...
