My theories are derrived from 3 different inspiring(?) sources: A.) The Dark Wheel cannot be contacted--they contact you. B.) There are those who have claimed to be The Dark Wheel and they (The Dark Wheel) put a stop to those individuals shortly after. C.) It is not yet known if All engineers are co-conspirators of The Club. All of this can be found, even in the Elite Fandom Wiki. Let's pick this apart. The Dark Wheel - Both point A and B can be resolved by the Turn The Wheel initiative. If who we are working for is not the REAL Dark Wheel (and I don't think that they would be, as it's highly fishy that this shadow organization just started advertising their presence in Shinrarta from day one)? Then this initiative will certainly draw them out. Engineers and the FSD - We know that Bill Turner had a history with MetaDrive research. MetaDrive was developing a highly advanced "stealth drive." It is to my belief that a shadow drive is what's needed to access many of the permit locked regions, as they regions would have been locked out, thanks to The Club. Any ships which do jump to these systems (I have tailed them and seen them jump to LFT-509, for instance) either have permission, via, The Club/ Pilot's Federation etc. or are using special drives. My previous theory was that the Capital class drive was needed, but I was wrong. I think it comes down to off the grid engineers. We do know there are undiscovered engineers and it is to my belief that The Dark Wheel is the key to the first of the unlocked permit systems, which will grant us access to that/ those engineers. To me? This makes sense because is satisfies a number of mechanics, for the best use of Elite: A. Participation - It involves community initiatives. B. Grind - Good ol engineering grind mechanics--don't think we won't be delivering something like 500t of Kongan Ale, in addition to the new alien materials. C. Exploration - After we've attained our modifications, it's time to explore the sectors.
made some codex discoveries in elysian shores. had a strong intuition to keep exploring there, but was in a hurry back to the bubble. might go back now
Thank you again, just watched part 2 of Raxxla I love the mystery revolving around this gave, I will check out all the places you have mentioned 07 commander
@@CMDRGURU951 Perhaps thinking of the Titans as a "Chinese whisper" of the races around the time of the oisir Raxxla. I have a feeling that like the Drakh of Babylon 5, The Thargoids have old masters in that time. As we know the Raxxla had help build pyramids on earth from the alien worlds book. If anything is used from those sources then maybe in the eyes of the original writers, the tales of Greek mythology are also the chinese whispers of a massive war in heaven. My tin foil is gleaming hahaha.
Great video! Loved the reconstruction of events. Hearing you read this out loud: 'Cora comes home soused and raving with wild stories, a new one every night. She claims she's found a map to some pirate stash, and all I have to do is loan her my ship so we can go dig it up. Maybe we should go find Raxxla while we're at it!' Makes me wonder if almost every word in it is a reference to .
I appreciate that very much. I wish that was me reading out loud. That's a small snippet in the Raxxla codex that's onboard your ship. (Right panel, first tab. #4 on the keyboard). If those aren't just a small clue I'd be very surprised. Thanks for watching.
I’m sure this question is already out there somewhere, but listening to this made me wonder if your theory about trade being a key element isn’t something to note. Anyway, here’s my question: is there a connection between making a delivery of rare goods to specific locations that... not sure... sets off an event of some kind? Here’s something I’m sure most Commanders have experienced at odd times if they’ve been playing for more than a hundred hours: the tip off. I always assumed that we get top offs randomly, but what if they aren’t random? What if some particular set of missions/trading between specific stations or systems, or just travel in general is what triggers a tip off. What if there is a tip off that we have to complete in order to take the next step in a series that will do something else... like, say... draw the attention of the Dark Wheel? Has anybody ever compiled data on when tip offs are given to players?
I certainly hope it does work like that. Many have suspected trade routes are key to this. As for the Tip-off research, yes, extensive work has been done logging and tracking all old and new TO's. This has largely taken place within Cannon Research and the Independent Raxxla Hunters by Cmdr Dja.
I believe they were using the Faraway jump system. Also, thanks for asking questions vs making statements. Didnt mean to jump your ship last time. Best wishes Guru. -Cmdr Broken Shield.
The trick to it is to not take it personal, and to not miss a chance to step into someone elses shoes to potentially learn something in the process. And to be honest, the things you suggested have been on my mind for a while but I've struggled with fixing it, so thanks for helping me over that stumbling block. It was a faraway jump, also they likely weren't in a Cobra based on the actual thing being they were outclassed, not outmatched like I said in the video. I will do better next episode for sure.

The data will prove the point and show the connections, drawing out the "consistency in the fragmentary rumours". And it's all very complicated, hence the series of short videos.

He doesn't actually make elite only makes it too dangerous. If you re-read the very end of the book, he's promoted to dangerous. Rafe then replies with something along the lines of it being good enough
I really love the way you tell the story... I simply don't know enough about the Raxxla myth to be of any help, i'm afraid. But i have to admit that Drew Wagar's suspicion that the core systems are important and even that Raxxla can't be that far away from them makes sense to me.
The core systems just have to be important. The bubble is an intriguing place and full of mystery. But, are the core worlds the full story? The one issue with the whole Rax has to be 250ish Ly's from Sol idea has one issue in my opinion. We don't know if the thing is big or very small. We're told it's a definite "place", but how big or small is a place?
@@CMDRGURU951 I don't know if the core worlds are the whole story; i don't imagine so. But what for me makes a compelling argument for Raxxla being in or near the bubble is the range of the ships at the time the rumor started. It makes no sense for it to be located far from the bubble, because ships back then simply didn't have the range to reach it in that case.
Glad to see your still hunting for it, i stopped for a bit as i was writing some stories for a book. Now i have time i many pick up were i left off before i start to write a solo book. CMDR Rax Zenith out.
The writers journey, is no friggin joke. Short story, novella or novel? Is this Elite related? I'm so new to the craft and finding it a bit daunting, along with a bit awesome.
@@CMDRGURU951 2 stories, one is 5000 words the other 15,000. 15 stories in total and 9 writers including Drew Wagar. Ebooks and books are available on Amazon called 'Nine streams of consciousness'. All sci-fi but not elite dangerous related. The journey can be long but if you really like writing and want your stories to be seen and read just keep at it. The first rule is to get it written, then the editing starts, checking for mistakes things in the right place then its your second draft then go through it all again. Harder writing with other writers but it was worth it for me. You want to be a writer just do it, read up on things if you need too and write what you want to write not what others decide ( accept for Editors' advice on editing, always listen to the editor or publisher). :)
Are the in game codex references to Raxxla and the DW useful at all or has that been combed over and looked into already? "To the jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies! To the whisperer in witchspace, the siren of the deepest void! The parent's grief, the lover's woe, and the yearning of our vagabond hearts." What is your take on the mother of galaxies? Cassiopeia? I've looked around what I could think to be the "brow" of the constellation but that might just be me taking the poem to literally...Idk, what do you guys think? Has this already been shot down and disproven?
I personally believe the codex entries to be possibly the most useful, possibly. It definitely serves as a good boost into some direction. I used to think Zeta Cass was the brow star, and have to admit it did launch me on a pretty intense set of experiences, but nothing truly concrete. Nowadays I'm just not so certain. There are so many different interpretations and lots of them make good sense.
@@CMDRGURU951 Yup, same. I have a whole folder dedicated to the Raxxla Cassiopeia angle. I don't care if it isn't found any time soon. I just want it to exist officially. Something. ANYTHING. A moon, a base, a wormhole, whatever. I don't care. I just want something to be inside the game that is legit and not just words and rumors and conversations that some author had in a bar.
Sorry I know I'm late to the party on this video. First off, great job with your videos, really love the content. On this topic, I feel as though Greek mythology plays a role in the mystery, but as far as I can tell there is no part of it that hasn't already been thoroughly investigated. Somewhere we are missing something, perhaps another mythos of importance? Perhaps something else entirely. I am confounded by all the damn permit locks, I feel like they cannot all be unreleased content... Some of these have to exist, obtainable in some way.... Could it be a mixture of triple elite, or even quadruple elite along with major and minor factions? Maybe something more intricate, such as being in the right adjacent system with the right goods in your inventory? I cannot say, but there is something we are missing entirely. Somehow I feel S.A.P. 8 is important
