Eh, I missed that.. (or did you sneakily edit that in just now??) - might be an idea to put the info at the top of the first post rather than hidden below the pic, and also add the "Open" bit.
Will do!
The search for Jaques...
- Thread starter Erimus Kamzel
- Start date
Will do!
I'll join you Erimus. I'm getting fed up now of searching for non-existant Polonium on BP7 post 2.1
Good points! Especially about clues left behind at his departure point. It was one of the Gliese systems, not sure which one, but if anyone in the bubble is nearby it may be worth checking the local news in the other stations of that system, and look for persistent wakes around the planet he jumped from.
Edit : Also scan ships in that system, some scans reveal lots of data now!

Is there any sort of mention of timeframes?
Michael Brookes specifically said it would take Jaques about a week to get to BP

When asked about Jaques during a Q&A, David Braben said Jaques' arrival at BP was delayed a week. That was 2 or 3 weeks ago if I recall correctly.
If its been delayed until 2.1.1 FD should have mentioned it (imo), as players are hanging around needlessly otherwise.

There have been no dates that I've seen, but I also don't scour the forums for every FD post that get made.
My reasoning is that we know Jaques Station (maybe they can fix the missing apostrophe when he returns) can only move during game updates, and presumably only during major updates that include both server and client.

I won't disagree with that.
Thanks yes i know. Sorry i meant the timeframe until 2.1.1
I had a suspicion that Jacques' jump was going to go awry when FD moved all the players to a safe distance. There was no reason to do it otherwise. While it would be unfortunate if some players were trapped at Beagle point, there were plenty of warnings and messages indicating that this was happening, and Jacques could always jump back to the bubble after a month if it turned out to be necessary.
The main reason, I think, to move the players out of the station before the jump was to prevent players from reporting his new location. If players had been on board Jacques when he jumped, we'd already know his fate.

Well, we better call the Canonn then. I heard they have loads of experts on this kind of knowledge
Btw, has anyone checked for signalsources in BP yet?
As I said on another thread, I reckon that the Thargoids have got him, and we'll get several CGs to find the pieces. We'll get some vague hints fr a search area, or a direction to search in, then find pieces of wreckage. initial areas will be accessible and close to the bubble, each find will get analysed and lead to the next region further away. There is the potential that this is how we will eventually meet the Thargoids.....

That would mean a complete change of direction of what the devs have said then, as Jaques leaving the Bubble and appearing at Beagle Point was to recognize the achievements of the DWE (as stated by a dev).
I would have thought he would have shown up at BP first, then possibly something along the lines of what you stated would occur later on in Jaques story arc, maybe during his journey home? (which would indeed be a cool way to introduce the Thagoids btw
)

There is also one that no one mentioned yet... but makes very good sense.
---
It takes "TIME" to jump <anything> from one side of the galaxy to the other. For Jaque, it might take a few seconds, minutes, hours... but for those of us watching... it might be a bit longer.
---
I take heart in a report from someone who had fines due there... he mentioned that they "flicker" - - - sometimes there... sometimes not. Would follow that this might be an indicator that Jaque is still travelling.

Good luck with the search... By which I mean, I really hope you do not find the station --- That is, until it appears back in GalMap.

Emphasis mine. I still think he's going to be used to unlock the PRAEI sectors.
I couldn't agree more. They should have stuck with info being provided on the net, instead of Michael Brooks telling us a time frame that he "should" be at BP by. And totally leaving us in the shadows.
