Deeper and deeper we go. I have always hoped blackholes have some use besides just cool imagery. I hope the game isn't truly as sterile as it seems sometimes.

What a lovely and interesting video, I’m currently in my exploration stage looking at guardian sites for glues and will definitely check out the places to visit in your video Thanks again
Tear Down The Wall! I'm parked in Epsilon Orionis as we speak. Part 2 should be good and is currently in the works and want to get that out to you soon. o7
Dude! Love the vid and thanks for stopping by last night! I will continue the quest for Rax and hopefully we can break it! See you around the galaxy Commander! o7
Now that's a fascinating story! I usually refer to Raxxla as the Atlantis of the Elite Galaxy. I would love to go in search, but i don't know where to start as i have only played Elite Dangerous.
oh i see what you mean now, Guru, you don't have to credit me for giving you some in-game money to further your endeavors.. i'm just happy you have found your fire again, just don't let your quest burn yourself out... Icarus flew too close to the sun, even against Daedalus's warning.. that's why he fell.
It was Robert Bauvall I believe that found the Orion alinement I believe he also thought they may align with "I just went blank on the name wow hate that " looks like a bird ? help if you can remember the name . I always thought that was a hat tip with the Imp ruling family . lol like I said I " think it was Davul " but you just watched my memory slip so grains of salt so to speak .

Cygnus, but I see you remembered! If I recall, someone did once find something intriguing in the past in Cygnus. Some strange signal coming through the FSS. Pretty sure I did a stream on it and its buried in the channel somewhere.
I've always got a strange feeling from Sirius. Waypoint and Lucifer (Sam, the Siam cat ;p ). I found it interesting that Lucifer had all this energy that they harness there. I found it weird that there is a planet called Waypoint. Is this a residual name from anyone when humans didn't have FSDs? If so what did it function as a wayooint to? Or is it more modernly named? If so, again, what does it function as a waypoint to?
Sirius, is a serious problem. Waypoint might indication a change in direction. Which direction, who knows. But with being as massive and overall controlling as they are, and their factual possession of thargoid tech, they have to be hiding something and suppressing our access to these technologies.
@@CMDRGURU951 I agree. Maybe Turn The Wheel ought to take over that system...but I don't know that the BGS can kick Sirius out. I'm sure they are hard coded in ..like the Pilot's Fed.
@@CMDRGURU951 Canon becomes something of an ambiguity when time-travel and extra dimensions enter the picture. The Alien World isn't canon either but you can see it's influences all over Elite. Canon or not doesn't necessarily mean the nuances and allegories can't be useful to us.
I was following right along...until he mentioned von Daniken as a reputable source. That guy got busted out on tape by Carl Sagan as a bullshitter that just made stuff up as he went.
Right, but this isn't about real life, it's about how those ideas apply to the game, which is far from real. Also, I never said he was a reputable source, just kinda implied that his ideas might be an inspiration behind what's goin on with Barnards Loop.
@@CMDRGURU951 as rooted in realistic science as Elite Dangerous is I would highly doubt that, in addition they have said it's discoverable in the game which would mean it wouldn't be in a system with an unattainable permit required to unlock it.
@@Puffalupagus360 Fair. I'd say that there appears to be many things going on in Elite that are no doubt not tied to Raxxla. And I like you do not feel that its hidden away behind a permit lock. I guess the Barnards loop stuff was more of an observation about its placement within Orion's belt and how The Alien World explains the Oisir's connection to the Great Pyramids. My hope is that they've taken the opportunity to make the mystery of the great pyramids actually come to life within the Elite story. Just hopes of course. Just trying to find connections, CMDR.
Rather than edit the post. I would like to add that though Elite is absolutely filled with reality based sciences, there are many aspects of Elite that are purely sci-fi. First off we have Newtonian Physics and the mass distribution of the Stellar Forge engine, and a pretty realistic timeline of humanities development over the next 1300 years, these are realistic. But we also have the ability to travel much faster than light, and I can fly to Beagle Point with no canopy, provided I have the synth's in my inventory. Also lets take the crime and punishment. I can murder innocent civilians and wedding barges all day with a small penalty of just a trip to a detention center and a fine. I would suggest that there is more fiction than non-fiction at play within Elite, and the experience we get to have couldn't be done without both aspects. This is all just for opening channels of discussion (seems to be working for this thanks to CMDR's like yourself), expressing ideas, and largely explaining my personal take on things, and my personal experiences while on this strange quest, and HOPEFULLY hearing about other CMDR's experiences, ideas, and perspectives on it all. o7
Its difficult to determine the origin of rumors. Egyptians had rumors about Orion before we knew we could leave the planet. It doesnt stop me from searching. And it never will. Just imagine the other countless potential mysteries that are out there, too far for us to have made rumors about yet

great video, great style of making videos, nice voice - please do more content ! :) you deserve way more views!!
I really appreciate that. If you build it, they will come. I'm not too concerned, but it is growing quickly.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you and eliteweeks work together!
Lets hope I can get my Shi* together. Fingers crossed.
Just keep at it! Kai is super easy to work with!

Erich von Däniken is not Egyptologist. You probably mixed up with his friend Adel H.
I feel like I read something once that said these books aren't canon. I could be wrong though?
That has been said, yet the evidence suggests that that claim is just misinformation.
@@CMDRGURU951 Canon becomes something of an ambiguity when time-travel and extra dimensions enter the picture. The Alien World isn't canon either but you can see it's influences all over Elite. Canon or not doesn't necessarily mean the nuances and allegories can't be useful to us.
