People have flown many light years away previously. I spent the last week going up to .7ly out from stars (it was seriously boring hence all the forum posting)

Well that easily covers distance... has anyone tried to check out if Barnards Merope nebula is in game?
It's only 0.06LYs away from Merope so about 1.9 million LS.
To prevent confusion maybe I should refer to Barnards Merope nebula as Tempel's Nebula or IC 349 instead.

Out of interest, has anyone tried flying towards Barnard's Loop (in supercruise) from Merope? Kinda like how if you fly in the right direction from Sol you can get to the Voyager probes, the mark on the barnacles might still be Barnard's Loop, but as an indicator of the direction you need to fly.

David said over on the AMA: "Barnacles are genetically engineered based on an earlier life form... ;-)"

Just came here to post this haha, yeah I definitely think that is worth adding to the front page!
but which life form, and by what definition of "earlier"?

David Braben just said on the AMA: "There are rumours just coming in that Jacques hasn't arrived..."
Anyone else a bit worried?

Never expected it to, after all somebody started delivering UA's there. I was going to drop off a couple hundred MA's but life intervened.

I wouldn't stress on that too much, it's expected that he'll take a week to get there.

"He'll"? Jacques station is a person? :O
Yeah, thats an interesting bomb shell
Earlier life form? I wonder if there is anything in the lore about that?
He is. It's a guy embedded within station.
Oh... I'm pretty far behind ;(
Jacque is a cyborg if I recall.
