I have found Jaques Station!

[Cmdr Irenicus]

There is no max allocation, the meta alloys are released 7T at a time every 10 minutes, use an egg-timer set to 10 minutes to gather as many as you like, at 42 per hour.
i used an alternate account and an old laptop to gather 285 before i went out there.

Why bother to do this and go so far, lose money for absolutely no reason though? I don't get why you'd waste your time

Wait until the CG to help Jaques comes, which it will...

I got nine at a time very early on Saturday, was still annoying to fill my Asp with 56 tons of them. And I just sold them at a loss of 20k per ton at Jaques. Demand is still 0, but on the other hand, the supply of stills is currently 42...

20k loss for going all that way? That's just silly isn't it? Why do it?

 

[Patau82]

Its total number of MA's delivered that counts, should be somewhere between 3,000-10,000
estimated number of MA's delivered to fix Bond Hub was about 3,000
estimated number of MA's delivered to fix Gabriel Enterprise was about 10,000

Fun and exploration, the possibility of something new and not yet seen in the game around jaques system...

Why not?

Here is a video with some scenes of me and another cmdr's trip to Jaques Station.

Because right now the Dangerous Games are going to take precedent over Jacques as far as CGs go.

 

[Random Task]

^^ so if the demand hits and stays at zero is there any benefit to hauling more meta's out?

It doesn't matter what it shows. It matters how many fix the station. If there was a 200 cap and it was filled and it didn't fix the station it wouldn't make any sense to stop.

We need to keep taking them there until the station is back to 100% functionality. That's how every other station was repaired. There won't be a CG for Jaques because of the games, so anyone that can keep bringing them out needs to keep at it as best they can.

 

[VR Morgan Grimes]

I am now in system, sadly I only have an exploration fitted Asp so had no meta alloys or other goods to trade but will be sticking around and actively searching local systems and planets for barnacles and whatever, if anybody needs me to do anything specific please let me know.

 

[h347h]

So can I get a link to the thread on barnacle candidates and the like? I should be in system in another hour or so. Ill go hunting barnys till we find something out.

 

[h347h]

Made it, just throw a friend invite if you want to wing up. Staying in open of course. Seeing as security is at a 'low' state ill go kill some pirates.

If any one wants to run with me and scoop up pirate cargo and run it to Jacques let me know they are dropping food commodities.

 

[Kaybe]

I'm on my way there now and will reach the station in the coming days.

I don't have any MA on me, but I do have a small cargo hold and a pair of SRVs. I wonder if there are any barnacles to be found in nearby systems. A fully operational station next to the core like it is would amaaaaaazing.

It's the same station so nothing new.

Exploration: well sure if you're already exploring.
Fun: well I don't see the fun factor in going that far for no result, loss of money etc..but each to their own.

Why not?

Because time is precious? Why waste your time? Each to their own as I said

I only go to Jaques for the drinks. Everything else in inconsequential.

 

[Maro-Val]

It would be nice to know if indeed THERE IS something interesting there to be found. Seems like Jaques Station was thrown there and thats just about it. Well i dont expect much of in-game imagination concerning surprises, judging from past events, and in result excitement fades out quickly. But i will wait here exploring the surroundings just a bit longer.

Playing games is wasting time isn't it?

May I ask how you invest your time in game?

 

[Marian87]

Despite the demand being 0, the MAs are not wasted, but are still counted by the game, as such I think we need many more of them

[markuslig]

Jacque was the only currently known station WITH an FSD... and a Cyborg 'pilot' that made the modifications that made the station what it is.

id bring him plenty of MA if he would take a look at my drive as well

Im pretty sure it was put there for a reason, unfortunately if you would encounter some aliens or so it gonna be a canister of alien contact, lol [sad]

If there's no CG - is there no given timespan for the repairs as well?

I doubt FD will do anything with it until after the Dangerous Games are over. They have commented it wasn't supposed to be found yet, and also mentioned they'll monitor player actions regarding Jaques - a possible hint that something will be done that we can actually effect in game, instead of everything being scripted and pre-written.

With that in mind, if the station can become fully operational by the current delivery of meta alloys, there may be CGs planned, who knows?

Its a golden opportunity for players to show FD this story has potential beyond just a jump to Beagle Point.

There's a big community event planned in August, after the Dangerous Games (and if the station is operational!) - The August Exodus.

 

[Darth Ender]

the taking out and restoring of station services via UA's and MA's is supposedly player driven as experienced with all the other stations in the game that this happens to after the first time the mechanic was used (on obsidian orbital).

So it should be a matter of just selling the station MA's and once beyond the trigger the next day it will be operational again. Whether FD allows that is another matter.


I'm not sure there is anything to find around jaques currently If that was the plan it is probably content that isn't in the game yet.

Also can FD get all their writers in a room and go over the lore a little bit so even within this game terms can be used in a consistent manner? Jaques' local news has him talking about being thrown into witch space during the jump (with all kinds of behavior that doesn't happen in normal jumps) , implying that witch space != hyperspace which we've been told over and over again that they're the same thing just different words people use to describe the same thing. This on top of the _COMPLETELY_ different account of events he reported on the galnet article (along with a different (hyperspace=witch space) use of witch space).

Maybe keep certain persistent characters active in the game on a big white board so different writers / developers can keep track of what is being written and what should be coded to reflect that along with common terms definitions?

Also, does anyone know if jaques ever had a stellar cartography hookup? Without it, it is gonna be very limited in usefulness to explorers.

Exactly this!
You should NOT fix the entity calling itself Jaques! It is not the Jaques we helped by bringing him Hydrogen Fuel. Something/someone else is claiming to be Jaques, but the discrepancies between the distress reports and Mayday calls in the station's News items, and the intervju with "Jaques" on Galnet, clearly prove that something has happened to Jaques while stranded in that system.
If you bring anything to that system it should not be Meta Alloys. It should be guns. Lots and lots of guns!
