Congrats, CMDR Cly. Great find! Always amazed about the achievements you type explorers get out of this game. My max. exploration trip was ~12000 ly's out in the dark, and the space madness was creeping under my skin already :)

You butthurt or something? You sound like the real nobody. You don't need to contribute to the exploration forums to have claim to anything. I avoid forums unless Google fails me.

Not in the slightest, I'm just surprised with all the "conspiracy" theorists out there about the game. No one thinks this isn't the least bit suspicious.

FYI insulting me on a forum doesn't really help discussion at all and makes you look like an ass.

Eagle-eyed beta players found all the following distant systems, purely by poring over the Galaxy Map's filter modes...

LAKA
LONO
POLARIS
MANASA
CD-48 6703
CANOPUS,EXPHIAY
BHUMI
BD+60 456
PORTUNES
PARVATI
TARTEER
LTT 9849
MIN
HAUMEA
Q PUPPIS

I think the furthest one was over 800 LY from the bubble.

A few of these ended up being populated in the final release game... but not many. :)


For Jaques, I think the decision to look at the nebulas was very clever.

I have over 1000 hours on Diablo 3 but don't post on the forums but look for builds, i don't post on Reddit but i read Reddit threads. I hope i don't blow your mind when you read this...might want to put that tin foil hat on :p

I had a similar suspicion, more due to timing than anything else and posted about it in the UA thread.

MB replied in that thread confirming this was fully legit and they hadn't expected somebody to find it so soon. So full props to Cly for finding it.

Actually, I would say that this was the exactly right and clever method. All "games" inside ED should be solvable solely by in-game methods, not by using huge spreadsheets, forum babbling and tinfoil hat theories :)

I'd prefer that in-game misteries are solved by "in-lore" methods... this so gamey method for discovery is ruining immersion, wasn't the station supposed to be stranded by accident and was in poor condition, unable to make contact with civilization? if so then how could the pilot federation's database, out of nowhere, registered the missing station internal administration (government) method, all while the station itself turned out to be 20,000 light years away from civilization?

oh I know...

space magic.

:D

Not really. You're attempting to discredit someone because they aren't a major face of the community. Whatever tinfoil hat theories people have, it's always about the game, not some employee masquerading as a player.

I imagine barnacles are much more difficult to find than this.

I for one believe CMDR Cly. I’ve used the exact same tactic while exploring out in deep space looking for signs of “The Missing” out there, obviously I’ve never found anything. His imgur album details exactly how he found it, and it seems perfectly reasonable and practical to me. He was over 20,000 lys away from that nebula when he spotted it, and he was just scanning distant nebulas looking for interesting exploration targets, I’ve done this myself hundreds of times before.

Nope, I believe him, although yeah I too am jealous, LOL. The best thing Iv’e ever found is an orange & red Herbig star rotating and all. Looked real cool, I was proud. :cool:

Yeah. I've done the same. Never found squat. I suspect part of the reason they changed the name (not in game to test right now) is you used to be able to type 'Jacques' in the galaxy search and find him. That would have been fairly cheezy.
