I'm actually an Xbox player, but I figured I'd post here since the xbox forum doesn't have much in it. I played ED a decent amount but eventually fell off of it. I'm now coming back to it after about a 6 month hiatus. Picked up Horizons and trying to throw myself back in, but some stuff is sort of confusing me. Mostly this whole business with Jaques Station.
Here's what I think I understand so far.
There was a in-game event for players to bring resources to Jaques Station so the entire station could make an FSD jump. The jump supposedly failed, and the station lost. Then later, a player managed to stumble across it wayyyyy out in the void. The station was broken and now there is an in-game event going on dedicated to getting the station up and running, and possibly expanding outward from there? Is that the general idea? And the whole thing was planned, meaning the jump failing and the station ending up where it is now, was all by design?
I guess I have trouble understanding when it comes to how this game blurs the line between events happening in the game and whether or not players are actually affecting it.
