Best kept secret in a video game. Nobody found raxxla yet.

Another mystery for me is, whenever I visit Engineering Bases I hear creepy sounds. I swear they hold Thargoids captive in their underground Facilities!

[@cmdrandy_pipkin6621]

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?

[@indigointoblack]

that’s a great question

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.

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

[@RedLeicesterCheese]

what about an image/video feed?

[@TyMoore95503]

Interesting!

[@Datan0de]

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?

[@indigointoblack]

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.

[@justlazhere]

Ayoooo
Indigoin... does it again

[@KlemyrDark]

There is also Asteroid Stations to look at...

[@indigointoblack]

ah i forgot to mention in the video ive already checked a couple and havent heard it, but its possible

[@torquaymouse2236]

Intresting.

[@cetifoxproductions]

I have no idea what this is talking about. What "signal"?

[@indigointoblack]

first part of the video

[@xblackdogrunsx]

What if that random string of client side character BS is actually a konami code?

[@stgwi]

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!

[@That90sKid]

My signal on the Spectro-Gram said "Open Only" over and over again. Really weird.

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

It's a Federal mind control gadget. Help Aisling free the federated slaves!

[@sinntaxdagreat]

For the Princess!

[@Mughragh]

I thought slavery was legal in the empire though? Isn't it?

[@needless_hate3189]

The antenna sound is just a manufactured sound, and is a dead end
