I might be leaving sooner than I thought!
1st attempt at a lvl 5 FSD upgrade and I got 42% optimised mass
No idea what that'll corresond to with a lightened load out but that's not a bad start.

WHile not in Aus, I'm stuck with playing on my Mac Air - and I left my XBox controller for it in Aus (ED is a good way to waste time in airport lounges).
Anyway, I slowly saving up for the second PC...

Hhmm.. Good call. Will be kinda slow on my Mac though, it take ssignificantly longer to make jumps, I have found. But still, why not?
Z...
My progress is not as fast as i would have liked, but now very nearly half way there. I keep finding interesting systems....
Universal Cartographics was definitely there (that was how I got to allied with the minor faction), and so were repairs, refueling and rearming. There was no mission board, and I'm quite uncertain about outfitting. I might be wrong, but I think there was some outfitting but no shipyard.
Frankly, if it became the same today, I'd probably move there for a long while. Although route planning in the core can be a royal pain in the six with a high jump range.

Correct, there was very limited outfitting, but no shipyard.
But I don't think what it had before matters. If Jaques knows that he's staying put for awhile, and therefore wants to attract a group of CMDRs who stay nearby, he's going to build a shipyard, his faction (and others) will start giving missions, etc.
Greetings CMDRs,
First poster long time lurker here. I've been inspired by the Jaques Station story and am looking to make a new life for myself on the fringes of civilized space. I'm wondering if I should take the leap and make the voyage or not. I've been playing for two months now and have a decked out Cobra MK3. I've mostly been collecting bounties and doing long range resource hauling. Do you think Jaques has a place for me? I want to feel sure about this before I make the plunge.
Thanks.

Bit the bullet and going with this Python build to haul some stuff out to Jax. → https://coriolis.io/outfit/python/0...022f2i.AwRj4yoo.MwBj4sCYa8EZ4SA=?bn=Cargothon
Could save around 20 mil and gain 2LY going with a more streamlined core, but I just hate how the larger ships handle. Not sure how people can stand flying them in general. [blah]
Will be glad to be rid of it and back in my exploration Vulture build when this is done with. [up]

Done with? Heh. Rumor is that there's a mining CG out there next, and more to come after that. In the immortal words of my daughter....WICTORY!
As the story goes, in time there will probably be "bubble 2.0" built around Jaques, but that takes time. A LOT, of time..
I dont see why not to move there completely, but the reality is that at the moment, on this date, theres nothing much you can do there. But to mine manually (without limpets) and to prospect and explore the surrounding systems, thats just about it..
If simple life is your thing, then go for it, my hat is off to you if you choose to do so now.
But, as Jaques and that surrounding neighbourhood grows stronger, i wouldnt be surprised if more and more cmdrs would choose to stay there on permanent basis and call it a home.
Its very intriguing thought and i have pondered the possibility also.. Might just do it in the future.
Guess it boils down to how much community related game content I can stand to participate in. [haha]
See you guys out there. [up]
Thanks for the reply.
Silly question perhaps but how does mining and a commodities market even work for a distant line spacestation?

It allows community goals to be planted, it allows for boom expansion and investment ( and the coming gold rush states) to fire.
And it becomes even more important when the second community goal kicks off to build a new outpost or port

Hi guys/gals, first post. I recently got the game and for the last 200 hours (not consecutively mind you) I have been doing almost exclusively bounty hunting. When I saw this community goal I loaded up an Asp X and wandered out into the "black ocean" with 8 units of power generators, more for the idea of doing it/RP value, rather then for the reward. Now that I am here in Jaques company, I find myself going stir crazy and longing for my Vulture (though after flying for so many hours in the asp X, it will feel like flying with a scuba mask on, got to love the visibility of the asp x!). I would be more than willing to throw my hat in the ring and fly my Vulture out here to defend mining operations/ escorting loads (I guard my friend's type 7 often when he does runs).
Heya! there's currently an expedition coming over in two convoys to deal with this CG and potentially a mining CG next if there is one. Do you use Discord? you could talk to a few folks on the Jaunt to Jaques Discord. https://discord.gg/4RCr2FE
Feel sorry for the guy that was 10,000LY into his trip to Jaques before he realised he'd forgotten to pick up his cargo! (post on the E: D FB page...)
oh dear ... which reminds me to check my cargo bay when i log back online on saturday, just to make sure this wasn't me
