darkwheeldarkwheelRaxxla may be implemented as a meta-physical portal combining planetary and hyperspace mechanics, where targeting and engaging the FSD triggers a jump to an alternate location rather than standard arrival. This represents a hybrid implementation of both physical and transcendent access.

Developer hypothesis: Raxxla could be implemented as meta-physical portal combining planet and hyperspace jump mechanic—targeting it and activating FSD triggers jump to alternate location rather than standard supercruise/jump.
Yes. When I put Raxxla in those fan novels I was trying to figure out a way to have Raxxla be a portal and a planet (as per description in the Dark Wheel) which had somehow not been found despite decades of searching. I figured it had to be meta-physical in some manner, hence the wierdness/witchspace implementation in Mutabilis. I'd do it differently now (not that I have anything to do with Raxxla in ED I hasten to add), but that sort of slightly ethereal, magical, otherworldness struck me as quite a good way of realising Raxxla. Click to expand... A way to make that idea work with the features available at game release would be: make a planet that's also a hyper wake, in that if a player targets the planet and activates their FSD to jump (not to supercruise), the ship jumps somewhere. ...
