Concerning Jacques,
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/269962-I-have-found-Jaques-Station!
Maybe I worry about nothing but I feel weird the fact that there is a BGS active where Jacques station actually is. I thought he jumped alone :S
There are also all these corrupted transmitions that probably never reached us, but what if we could have done something to receive some and then rescue the station given the clues in the messages to find him.
Maybe using UAs, UPs or else
I just hope that wasn't bugged, I guess we are still able to carry meta-alloys to help fix the station now.

I don't think Jacques was *found* so much as FDEV just announced the location and tied it into the barnacles with a fake account. Maybe it really was randomly found by somebody but the timing is suspicious and the reddit and frontier account of the poster didn't exist yesterday. So I'm guessing that's a planted account, Jacques is really out there but it wasn't really *found*.
That's not to cast aspersions on anyone (and possibly I'm wrong and if so my deepest apologies to the finder) but if true it means it's even more significant in that FDEV decided today was a good day to have it show back up, right after the UPs popped up. That's a pretty big coincidence. It also implies that Jacques showing up is a 'clue' and even more significant than we might otherwise think.

Scratch the above, after thinking about it a bit more that's even less plausible than somebody randomly finding it. If they wanted it to be 'found' artificially they'd just announce it in Galnet like last year when he returned.

Quick, find Dory.
Guys, is it just me, or does the nebula thta Jaques station is next to look like the same model/graphic for the witch head nebula?
*tin foil time* maybe search the same relative location of the WHN to find something important? *end tin foil*
Also, there's a black hole in the nebula near jaques: EOL PROU PX-T D3-1645

Did you use the advanced scanner? There are stupid versions of this feature that have limited range. Just a question.
Im in Merope now. Looking all over.
It's possible, but it could be just like myself where he paid attention to parts of the forum/subreddit while not actively posting until he found/did something big. I just made the forum account to say I think you might just be being a bit paranoid though I guess that might mean I'm a plant too.
It's entirely possible he really did find it
. But it was the timing and the sheer scale of finding that needle in that particular haystack that makes me suspicious, not really the account age, thought that factors in.

Are you edible? I got the space munchies.
At the moment, there does not seem to be any other use. I have destroyed one in space by ramming and one on a planetary surface with the SRV repeater, both gave two unknown fragments. Scooped them up with the ship and the SRV, and my materials inventory now lists four unknown fragments. The UA shell around Merope (see first page) is still chugging them out reliably, they still point to Merope, and if you ram them often enough, they still die as before, and leave more unknown fragments.
PS: Make sure you turn up the volume before the UA dies, the "death scream" is eerie.
My thoughts on the Jaques thing: If the station really has been temporally fragmented, the version of it that was visited in our time (ie the pics here: http://imgur.com/a/5yGaL) may not actually be the real station, or rather could just be a temporal echo. Sure, you can dock there and use the facilities, but it's not "real". The ships you see, the activity occuring there, it could all be a reflection of the time it was back in the bubble, but "wrong", ie the singular faction has a weird name and doesn't actually seem to function right. It's expanding its influence yet there is nowhere to expand to - should be impossible in the proper BGS. The ships, while they seem to be trading, may just dissapear into the ether when they leave the temporal bubble surrounding the station. Almost like LOST (let's just hope FDev can write a better plot than that). Jaques himself may not even be there. His messages only make it through because he's been spending all of his time just trying to contact anyone, and maybe because of that he figured out how to at least make that much work despite his reality falling apart around him.
Granted, this is me trying desperately to explain what is more likely a bug or Frontier not expecting the station to actually be found so quickly and therefore not actually having it set up yet to properly correlate to the mystery, but criticize me for trying to preserve my immersion, this theory I think has some merit.
Next time anyone is there, keep an eye out for polar bears.

"The artefacts caused some kind of overload in my engines"
Jmanis confirmed -_-

When you are out there, the artifacts sing, and then "they" find you.
The way that I understand this is that, when you are out there as in Hyperspace, or out there somewhere else like a region of the galaxy, the artifacts or unknown probes attract someone or something to your instance. Dunno. We have a lot more to go on with them pointing to Merope 5C imo

Lol! Don't worry! I'm still parked there. Just woke up and will post XY in an hour or so when kid is parked at creche!
I read it as the UA/UP "sings" then the UA/UP finds you. First THEY sing, then THEY find you.
But yeah it could be either either
I'm almost certain Jaques station was found way quicker than FDev were expecting, judging by the traffic and more importantly the messages that got posted in the imgur album. It looked like they were going to have it send out more corrupted messages until it finally got found. The later ones look especially dire, I wonder if it was going to be integrated in some sort of reveal? Guess we'll find out soon enough.
Unless RL interferes, I will make another trip to Witch Head this weekend, and possibly pop over to California as well.
In the old days, it was possible to force a misjump of your hyperdrive. I believe this was one way to actually reach the space between systems. Also, it was possible for hyperdrives to malfunction if they hadn't been serviced in over a year. This could result in misjumps. I wonder if we could find a way to do this somehow...
While mining i reconned that prospector limpets and collector drones
emit sound similar to the ua humming.
Heard that aswell?
The new probe looks weird, but i wager it is
a "seed" for barnacles.
Almost looks like a mobile hatchery to me.
That lower larger compartment digging into the surface and unfolding,
"hatching" all the spawn into the ground generating a barnacle site.
Oh and on the note of barnacles in witchspace nebuale:
Was there looked, found none, i put that one on the buggyness of instancing
and the spawn rate back then. Curse it!

"Houston, we have a Problem ..."
First of all, i don't know if the graphical assest for Nebulas are used more than once. I would be surprised if it would be like that, as they represent "real life data", don't they ?
However, regarding Jaques Position:
1. The Nebula looks like Witchhead, after closer inspection, i tend to say it is a 1:1 copy (graphical)
2. There are two other Nebulas which are :
- DRYOOE PROU AA-A H131 which looks like a 1:1 copy of the California Nebula
- DRYOOE PROU AA-A H51 which looks like a 1:1 copy of the Pleiades (but not 100% sure as with the other two)
3. all three of them have similar relative position to each other like the "original ones", but turned and tilted ('triangle like')
Please check for yourself. Is that really a coincidence ? Placing Jaques somewhere, where a "copy" of something this obivous is ?
Really ?
i'm confused right now ...
