Yay a new inhabited area for npcs/pirates/griefers to come and kill explorers trying to get home. Another bubble to avoid in what used to be the explorers playground, pretty soon we wont have any safe place.
August Exodus - A Jaunt to Jaques
- Thread starter Erimus Kamzel
- Start date
Suggestions for possible other roles:
Fuel Rat
Rock Rat/Prospecting
Cartography
I'm shipping a second cargo load out there now, so I may be burned out afterwards... I do want to visit Hyponia though. Until things are clearer for me irl in August I can't commit to anything and I may have other business in the bubble... on the fence right now about signing up.

been hanging out in open play at Jaque for a view weeks now.. no Pirate or griefer in sight!!.
only players i found were using it as a starting goal in exploring as this was the first time out of the bubble.
only heard about one pirate warning on Xbox about it.
But yea an expedition like this might change that.

What?... so the other 399,999,990,000 empty star systems won't be enough for you to hide away in?

Great suggestion - fits nicely. [up]
Incidentally, a line from that song was the subtitle used on the Distant Worlds 3302 thread
"Tracing one warm line through a space so wide and savage..." - Stan Rogers (Northwest Passage)

I'd love to hear a recording with the "other" lyrics to that song.
I know, right?
Why the need to desacrate everything? Those pristine, unspoiled areas of the galaxy were so far preserved from human hubris, yet, here they are: about to be spoiled with industrial waste, strife and blood. And for what? To mimick the failure that the human bubble has proven to be, tainting those virgin lands by turning them into assets, making way to greed and the predictable conflicts it will cause. Already, that tip of the spear that is Jaques station has brought its own rampant crime and piracy, starting early the spilling innocent blood spilled in its space.
Why don't those social humans stay put in their murderous reserve? Let the black be the realm of solitude and of the various life-forms it contains or will contain if left at peace. Let it be a realm for the spiritual enlightenment of respectful pioneers rather than an altar to consumerism. The galaxy should remain a beautiful frontier, not a Spacebuck Coffee outlet.
I am ashamed that the very people with whom I thought I shared the bliss of the galactic wonders and a disdain for the murderous and mercantile bubble of human society are now pushing to corrupt those same wonders with the tools of the human disease.

On my way back from Jaques right now. 8KLy remaining from the bubble.
Signed up for Convoy II. Gives me a little time to properly fit my anaconda for its first long range exploration mission. Will be hauling goods, and considering mining as well but need to learn first!
Looking forward to helping everyone establish our first deep space outpost!

Hope application was written in pencil
If pre-DWE shenanigans is anything to go by, you'll have changed your mind on which convoy / swapped ship type / added range / reduced range (delete as appropriate) many times between now and the departure date
