So are we saying that most of these new outposts are an interdiction risk?
Interesting, the fact that Jaques occasionally has some NPC traffic but they don't bother anyone, unless you drop into the REZ zones.....I wonder how long that will last.
Unless we're overrun by Thargoids, I'm guessing Jaques Station's next misjump will be somewhere in the Boreas Region looking at the map. Update 4.1'ish.

Looks like a blessing and a curse to me, explorers having easier access to sell, but at a greater risk. Speed and maybe shield will keep you safe.
The Colonia Connection Route Map :

Each outpost has repair facilities as well as a Universal Cartographics, so those returning from the core regions needn't travel all the way to the bubble to cash in their exploration data from now on.

This should be stickied. Why would pirates be at this station? I'm guessing these will mainly be used by explorers with probably no cargo or weapons.
You must've missed all the long haul community goals ...?
There might still be lots of commodities Colonia doesn't produce on its own in 2.2
(and these outposts need supplies as well).
We have light mount modifications to get weapons exploration ready.

Are those really worth bothering with? Considering that a viable trader will run at 1000+ tons loaded, what good does it do to save 50 tons on the weapons when that means that you also lose quite a large chunk of that weapon's integrity?
Yes, I am currently running with light mount weapons on my FAS, but will probably switch to other weapon mods (and a different ship for the next trip) once I'm back in the bubble. I would, if I cared that much about the second decimal of my jump range, also consider running unarmed (i.e. Brave Sir Robin) or using the smaller overcharged weapons variant (instead of the larger lightweight mod).
Which means your shields are down
Yeah, that's a good point. I forgot about it since (combat-)explorer or trader builds probably aren't going to run the most heat-intensive weapons, such as railguns.Don't forget about heat.
My light weight rails can melt themselves through usage alone.
They are already built. There also will be more outposts in systems around Jaques once 2.2 goes live, but that's due to the new bubble growing, and not the CG's result.6 outposts so far... will there be any more?
Are they built yet?
