This channel is going to blow up harder than my t9 when i miss the Mailslot
@@Staticsceptre thanks and I love that comment lol
Another mystery for me is, whenever I visit Engineering Bases I hear creepy sounds. I swear they hold Thargoids captive in their underground Facilities!
Elite's sound engineering is legendary. Honestly without it, the game would be so much more dull. Frontier struck gold with their sound team.
Yeah what if They're reverse engineering goids for tech
Best kept secret in a video game. Nobody found raxxla yet.
Or the people who know want it kept secret..
One thing I hate and love about Elite Dangerous is the fact that there are so many secrets and easter eggs that require skills only a professional would have. I remember flying around with a CMDR who went to school to study ciphers glyphs and language. His friend was a software engineer who had this system to take in game data (visuals, audio, coding, etc) and would run it through different decoders like spectrograms. It’s amazing that they would hear a noise and one of them would call out “that pattern follows the usual patterns of X Y Z ciphers” and meanwhile I just head static. Then one of them would post images and they’d play around looking at every detail.
We ended up at a dead end, but it was still so exciting knowing we were some of the first people to decode something and pull valuable information to help solve mysteries.
I like it because it means that no one person could actually discover the secret, and the community relied on each other. I hate it because I don’t know if I’m at the end of the path (until it’s updated) or if there’s more in game we just haven’t figured out. It’s disheartening when you spend hours solving puzzles just to end up at a dead end that only opens up with an update.
I did spend time researching Greek Gods and Goddesses, and I currently default to a station Momus Reach. I don’t remember why but I have reason to believe that port has something to do with Salvation and HIP 22460. Since I don’t know if I’m at a dead end, I feel like hunting everything down is pointless if it’s something I can’t access yet.
For this reason I wish we had more secrets that were completely in game, and held back by only deciphering and not held by time walls. Just make the ciphers so complex that it takes time to process and interpret.
Seeing a lot of names from players I used to work with about a lot of these mysteries... bringing back a lot of good memories from when I used to play Elite none stop, waiting college to be over so I can come home and find out what's new...
As a returning player after 5 almost 6yrs I can confidently say to be prepared to be surprised. So much has changed but also so much has stayed the same. I know that doesn't help at all but I don't want to spoil anything for you. Good luck and hope to see you in game some day. P.S. you have a really good name there sire. Take care
Elite is under appreciated by non-veterans or those who have passed over the game for just how unimaginably complex and well detailed the game is. Although I personally go though cycles of playing the game it still have a unique place in my heart.
People expect Raxxla to be some groundbreaking discovery in terms of Elite lore and gameplay. I dont believe it is, and I dont believe we will find it. Maybe in the future, they will design content around it - but there is just absolutely no way that a game with severe content-droughts and player retention issues like Elite would just let content be undiscovered for 7 YEARS without saying anything.
They say "its in the game", and it probably is - but on a technicality. The planet its supposed to be probably exists, but theres likely no identifiable way to discern it to be Raxxla, or its not accessable (in a permit-locked system - which would be pretty cheap if you say "its in the game right now").
The reason I believe that, is because Raxxla has a max defined range from Sol, and players have been to pretty much every fitting planet within that range at this point, and nothing has been found. Its either in one of the permit-locked systems, or its some random POI on a planet that nobody has found yet because it doesnt show up on the UI. Thats the only things I can think of for reasons why it hasnt been found, if it indeed is in the game right now, as they have said.
in the video, you state that "the signal seems to be client-side".
Interesting...given that you also say that "I have yet to hear an Imperial station emit the signal - at all".
What might be a reason that Imperial stations don't send to YOU in particular?
What's your standing with the Imperials...or their enemies?
that’s a great question
The sound is client side, the parameter is baked into the server
The secret is right under your nose. It has always been there. In the place where it all began. There is something that doesn't fit with the whole. Sometimes it emerges from within. A silent song of the spheres.
Find all the signals & overlay them one on top of the other (if possible). Some appear to be different colors that will mix & possibly display a message...
Unfortunately as far as the cipher goes. No start, no stop, no delimiters. Statistically the distribution of characters is pretty close to even. So far no variation in the signal format has been reported. It's either there or it's not. It's generated locally and the data miners haven't pulled anything. To all appearances it's a Random number generator. If it's not just random then it's a really good rolling cipher and there needs to be some secondary clue somewhere in an Alliance, Independent or Federation controlled station or outpost. It's likely not tied to the stations themselves as if the Imps take over the signals stop.
For anyone who wants to look into this. It's audible through the external camera so you record as much data as you want from the landing pad by flying the camera over to the end of the cylinder. That's how people are getting longer recordings without being blown up for loitering in the station.
its not technically difficult to make random letters in spectrogram without a loop
you can have a set of audio tracks with one letter in each one and select randomly (or not so randomly) which one will be playing next
Wonderful analysis and investigation. I would present one other possibility for why the signal only plays from Federation and Alliance stations. The Empire is isolationist, yes, but Cmdr. Salome already exposed a Federation-Alliance plot to develop deep space outposts and catalogue the best combat pilots in the event of... what? Presumably, they already knew of an imminent Thargoid invasion, but it's not perfectly clear. Alternatively, they could have been preparing for war with the Empire. It's not impossible, in fact its probable, that they would do it again.
theres a 3d wavetable plugin inside FL studio, if you wanted to see potential hidden signals behind symbols. but i wouldnt know how to approach getting the sound from the game to talk to FL
what about an image/video feed?
There is also Asteroid Stations to look at...
ah i forgot to mention in the video ive already checked a couple and havent heard it, but its possible
I have clips, notes, crazy people kinda stuff. I have loved this mystery and all the reading I've done. I lost my group that I used to discuss these ideas with and would love to share thoughts.
I will say that I found something, maybe nothing as is the mystery of Raxxla, but it was an interesting recording and station and I wonder if the signal is the same as the one you discuss.
Great video CMDR. I have not come across a station or outpost I could not find this signal however I do not look all the time. It has also been found in Colonia stations. If you go to a station where there is no antenna, move back to the point in which the end of the antenna would be and you should find the signal ;) Happy hunting
My signal on the Spectro-Gram said "Open Only" over and over again. Really weird.
Open play mode is required to find raxxla, confirmed
This is fascinating! How do you get the signal! Just hang out at the back of the station and record the audio? Can you be elsewhere in the docking bay? Does it matter which way you're facing?
You can use the camera suite if you like, thats how I do it. Just float to the tip of an antenna, or where it would be if not present.
Like the big political machinations in EVE, I do not have the time to participate in Elite's big mysteries, but I love following along!
I was watching another video about how you can get signals just by facing a system (v=W_wJ9H-jjMU). I wonder if the system you need to go to emits the same signal you're picking up, and it only exists on open play.
That...
Or it's not a system, but something IN the system, like a fleet carrier or colony ship.
Ayoooo
Indigoin... does it again
4:38 what makes you think it’s clientside? Has this been tested?
It has. It wasn't tested by me though. There was some research done a long time ago I was a part of.
Interesting!
Intresting.
It's a Federal mind control gadget. Help Aisling free the federated slaves!
For the Princess!
I thought slavery was legal in the empire though? Isn't it?
I have no idea what this is talking about. What "signal"?
first part of the video
The antenna sound is just a manufactured sound, and is a dead end
Raxxla is game hoax. You all know it. ;D
