HaraldsenI'm all for it, whatever your motives are. The main thing is that it keeps people away from the real Raxxla.

You just want all the glory of finding it for yourself.

Sorry to be the party pooper, but Raxxla is nothing but a MacGuffin: it either doesn't exist in the game at all, or it will be something underwhelming like a POI with a downloadable voice recording or something like that.

Frontier certainly did not put significant content into the game only to bury it for a decade.

It would not surprise me if we do find Raxxla, it's in the same condition as the first Earth that was found in the early 2000's version of Battlestar Galactica: Nuked with ground that is sterile and seas that are dead. At some point, I can see a spray-painted sign at a station saying "Frak Raxxla".

Maybe, this has all happened before...IYKYK.

It doesn't really matter, many explorers searched for it and busied themselves with anomalies and the lore and had fun making up theories. It is a game aspect that can keep you busy if you are so inclined... and in the end it doesn't matter if you spend your time this way or if you shoot something down or aim to get rich, which all in all is also a waste of time if you look at it soberly. The most important aspect about the whole thing is to have fun, and that is what games should provide.

Meowers Though, most of that was caused by the poor networking/instancing implementation, not the game mechanics.

But I agree on the backstory note, it gives you a heckload of instruments to have fun with, and not only in the game itself, but also like roleplaying or fanfic writing.

And sometimes the pictures are quite nice.



That's very true, multicrew and if lots of people are in one instance is causing some issues. And the more popular the game gets (again), the more pressing these issues will be for Frontier to solve. But what I meant was that, unlike Star Citizen, you are not trapped in elevator for no reason or can't enter or exit your ship For a game of its complexity, Elite works pretty well and gives you a smooth experience most of the time (unless its rollout day for a big update or a general Thursday, go touch grass on Thursday's).

What I really enjoy is the different stuff you can do. And if you feel like it, you can just go lore hunting and take sweet pictures along the way

Hi. it just works for me. Totally nailed down a HOTAS profile.(no need to get into that) .learnt the hard way and don't bother with 3rd party crap apps. All that information is there without opening up an unclosing door. Caution. I'm just going to continue on scooping and looping, buying and selling Cobalt like ham sausage, doing missions and hoping I'd meet ya or actually finding a real undiscovered system.
Cheers
