well im sure some will deliver hydrogen fuel to help him on his way, will Fdev just leave him sitting there perhaps and just ignore it now its been placed.
Wow, I bet Frontier wasn't expecting anyone to find him by pot luck. There aren't even any missions available from the station.. I expect an operation 'Save Jaques' to kick off shortly, be interesting to see what players do now..
One thing that I've noticed commented upon in game is reference to the song of the UAs, and now Jaques is talking about it. I have a theory *dons tinfoil hat*
...There are already unoffical small scale efforts to search it for meta alloys right there to restore him. Cannon might want to jum on board to search the eol prou nebula for MAs
I think its also close in timescale terms for the beagle point types to make their way back to
...and they have begun repairing and building colonys and constructs
...As far as where jacques is the nearby nebula might be a soiurce of barnacles come meta alloys and that might give an economic interest to drive development
To all of you folks, i've put out a thread asking for miners and traders to join up and leave for Jaques station to help rebuild it. Read here.
I think if you guys are interested in this, and enough people are interested in this, we can start a new society.
Away from powerplay. Away from the bubble. Not because the bubble isn't fun, but this is the most untouched home away from our cradle you'll ever find.
it's in a nebula of all things! Can you imagine what that would do to your world perspective to spend time getting a station up and running, surrounded by such grand vistas of purple and grey skies instead of black? It'll do things to your head in all the right ways
So get your fuel scoops, your AFMUs your refineries your collector limpet controllers and limpets and head on out there.
get your guns and your mining lasers, we won't know what trouble we'll face out here.
get your long distance traders and FSD upgrades, the night is dark and full of terrors.
We will need more than a week for that community goal.
Or perhaps a whole chain of community events.
1 - Get X commanders to Jaques within X Weeks (also, it's summer and vacations so not a good idea.)
2 - Mine for materials to repair basic services at Jaques
3 - Collect mineral samples from planets for review
4 - Mine materials for planetary base
Nice find, CMDR. Now we sit back and wait for the Restore-Jaques-And-Get-Him-On-His-Way CG.
The timing is perfect for the Power Plays; a Power Play long range rescue & exploration CG?
That's the way I would do it, and also make sure that Jaques is found beforehand, so there's an actual location to deliver the Meta-alloys to. But sad to see that Jaques really showed the middle-finger to the explorers at Beagle Point...
I would suggest a community mix of haulers, combat pilots, miners and the like. Meta alloys would have to be either found if we can find any barnacles in the nearby nebula or haul from the bubble.
Mining outfits wont be able to be changed out there all that is available is docking and commoddities ( legal goods for that system) currently
Im sure the fuel rats are already beginning to head out as it was their CG
For those leaving the bubble, i would suggest quince as the final stage off point ( both for final fitting and the like) it is the closest human sol bubble side port of call towards that EOL PROU sector
Mining CG to restore Jaques Station, maybe. I could bring an Asp with a couple of Mining Lances. Finally some use for those PP weapons if the CG becomes a thing.
the nebula within 50ly of the system jacques is in no doubt will have meta alloys via barnacles, which will be a hidden CG we will have to find the barnacles, farm them, sell them to jacques repair him and then Fdev will have another event to move him to beagle point perhaps
To that and with the utmost respect to everyone in Frontier Dev whom I love for creating this game:
Heck waiting for Frontier to make stuff happen for us!
Let's not wait for them to tell us what to do. Let's just do what we want and if we're doing good and cool things, i have no doubt (though i really don't know) but I have no doubt in my mind, that they want us to do cool things. They want us to see what we do in this universe sandbox. They want to support us.
Let's not wait for them, let's go out and take it for ourselves. Let's repair that damn station without a CG.
I was in a system just the other day and I heard clicking and crackling, that sounded almost insect like. I actually thought there was a problem with my sound card so to check I dropped out of SC and it immediately stopped. Regretted doing that immediately :/ Couldn't get it back
Thought this was going to be a comedy/troll thread when I clicked on it considering the small matter of 400 billion systems to search. Huge kudos to OP for finding it.
No, he was hunting for Jacque and was using the GalMap and it's filter feature (by government type) and spotted a lone system in the Nebula he was scanning that had a gov't where there obviously should not have been anything.
Only 22000LY from the bubble huh? looks like I'll be running with a stripped down Asp Explorer and only the bare essentials, now considering the idea of purchasing the most expensive fuel scoop for the trip or be patient with the current one I have.
Interesting note about exploring in a Corvette, turning off non essential jump gear allows you to sit next to a hot start for minutes on end with just a few points of heat.
