If the games are exploration related, I'm easily still close enough to the bubble to help in any way i can.
Well first the station needs to be fixed up and made operational again. Expansion certainly won’t happen quickly…
I think an awful lot of us are just yearning for some meaningful way to interact with and impact the galaxy background simulation. Explorers especially, I think, have a strong desire to do anything to influence the spreading of civilization or help humanity. Power Play was never that opportunity due to it’s very design being so totally unfriendly and opposing to explorers overall.
But an oasis of populated systems 22,000 lys out from the bubble, away from the Power Play politics, and next to a nebula no less, would certainly qualify as something that explorers would be eager to make happen. I dare say that if we can get SEPP to win the Dangerous Games then they should try hard to get their capitol out there by Jacques Station! A Power Play faction away from the Power Play politics, on it’s own, self sufficient and peaceful, and a haven and jumping point for explorers all throughout the galaxy!
I suppose I’m just a romantic dreamer at heart…
Urgh sorry!
Yes please!!
Stay for the dangerous games if you intend to support your fellow player minor faction in the games.
Jaques Station and this effort will still be here
If you're an explorer I'd ask you support SEPP as well. They're looking out for explorers and this is the kind of thing they love and want to support but they need your support to win. Apologies for the timing again!

I like that idea, we will keep that in mind!
Hell, I'd like to go there myself but the games are MUCH more important.
Remember, SEPP winning the Dangerous Games would mean actions like helping Jaques' Station would be much easier, because you'd have more Credits from exploration data, better modules to go there and much more community support because we are the last to not support an explorer oasis out in the black.
Choose what's more important. Go there now, before there is even a CG or more information? Or support an explorer based faction, which will benefit projects like this one and make way for even bigger stuff?

That's my worry too, 22,000Ly on a Type9 with 16Ly jump range, that'll be the fail of the century to get there and end up have to manually scoop each and every ore chunk
edit: Oh, and I filled in the roster form!

22 Kylies or a bit less.
I highly doubt it. At least in the state the station is in right now. maybe if the first meta alloys take effect and the modules start booting up again.

BYOL.
Bring your own limpets.
Besides the commodity market and the mission's board, nothing else works. Jaques Station is dead in the water.
You're going to have to naked snake this and bring what you need or procure on site. at least until we can get facilities up and running, one by one, i'll assume.
it's clear based on this concern which i've heard a few times already that We want the first thing to come online to be the limpet restock It would be good if we can have an influence on which facility we want to turn on first. I'm sure frontier is watching and will talk about the limpet economy we'll be creating.
A type-9 filled with limpets is great. what you can do is sell it for a marked up price to your fellow miners. if you're going to carry all that many you may as well profit a little right?
Just a wickedly evil thought...

What if this turns INTO one of the DG CG's....OOOOOhhhhhh Snap!

Sell... limpets...? are you being serious. If you have a type 9 - Donate - - - you can afford it

Nope, no repair or resupply at all at the moment.
Game Master has spoken. So instead of these commodities, I would think we should ship Meta Alloys there.

You're right. We should do this because we want to save jaques.
But hey if there comes an emergent gameplay opportunity, why not seize it.
In the end: do you want to be remembered as the CMDR who supplied a steady stream of limpets to the people by jaques until the rearm facility is repaired or do you want to be the CMDR who managed to get someone to pay you a million credits for a hundred limpets.
Both are interesting, but I leave it to you to decide which is more appealing.
Edit: if this becomes a DG CG we're gonna need better security.

That's what i want to know, does it only need meta alloys, will fulfilling its metals demands help? I'm a little worried that because GM said that meta alloys is sensible it means it's the only sensible thing to do.

It makes a lot of sense even if you sit in game without the metatron voice of MB. Get the thing working, and the only way we know how to do that is via meta-alloys, so prioritise that. Get the basic systems back on line then take in the 'normal' things like metals.
We do need to hope that there are no comedians willing to go all that way to start dumping more UAs for a laugh.
Carrying UA all the way would be an incredible achievement, so I doubt it.
But comedians flying all the way without UA, just for the pleasure to blow Cmdrs up, it happened before!
Going through the thread again, I'm turning back to load meta alloys first.
Might as well throw a quick FSD upgrade too, whatever I can afford.
