Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

I just started the game (after getting interested in it from CohhCarnage's Twitch stream) and am about five hours in. Fully fitted Eagle with mostly A grade stuff and am about two jumps away from the start. I can definitely see how this game benefits from multiplayer to relieve some of the feeling of the grind.

I'm looking to put together a wing of people who are relatively new (or veterans if they want to play along) and just want to have fun in the game doing a little bit of everything. I'm not trying to find the fastest way to grind to the best ship in the game, but rather "experience" the game. I live on the east coast of the US (GMT -5 currently) so would normally be playing towards the end of the work day (6-9pm EST, 23-2 GMT), but I have a little flexibility there.

CMDR Gileon Fletcher, feel free to send an invite if you're interested

Hello Gileon,

Looks like you and are are playing around the same time in the evenings. I just recently came back to ED after a hiatus and I am relearning everything. I am currently in empire space doing a little bit of everything. I will send you a friend invite this evening. I take it that you are in the mobius pve group right?

I also hang out on TS3 in the Riff Raff channel. Most of the folks in that channel are playing in the European Mobius group.

What is the benefit of joining a wing?
Do we fight a great or big battle against another wing?

I'm also new, driving also an Eagle and I'm grinding for my next ship.

Sorry, but your Wing is probably not the best one for me, 'cause i'm playing mostly in the afternoon (central european time).

Yeah I'm in the group. I'm somewhere within 100ly of the starting system (and have since put about 25 hours in), but I have a decent jump range so I can move around. I don't have TS yet, but it might be worth downloading (although I do like the in-game comms effects). Is the Riff Raff channel apart of this forum's channels? Never mind, found it. I'm hovering in the AFK channel for the time being while doing other things.

Wing usefulness is actually somewhat limited; players in wings can't run the same missions (come on FD), but they can work together on other things like bounty hunting, mining, planet exploration, PVP in open play, etc. Yeah you're probably asleep by the time I play haha, no worries. An Eagle is a great start, but it makes everything after it feel like flying a tank because it's so quick and maneuverable.

Had a blast flying with you last night, we had some good bounties.

I'm a little over a thousand ly out but on my way back. Once I am I'd be happy to do some bounty hunting.

We did comms via the TS3 server so if you see us both feel free to jump in whenever. I'm kind of busy for the next few days due to work so not sure how much I'll be playing, but if we happen to cross paths then sure thing.

We both took like 40% hull damage to an Anaconda before getting 200k+ credits after the wing split for hunting him, so we had an interesting time.

Indeed we did, I have upgraded to an A rated vulture for our next run though, so should be easier.

I'm glad that I got the chance to wing with you yesterday, Dai. Sorry I dented and scratched your shiny new Vulture (more than once) with my fat ass ship. Hopefully some credits from the hunt will cover the cost of the body work.

Hehe,

I know a good paint and body man, he was able to knock it back into shape quick enough.
