Hey fellow Latecomers,
Couple of us in the Mobius Factions PG did, well not so much of a "mass", but rather a "minority"
jump yesterday from WP8. If possible, we'd like to do this for the next waypoints too, so to start this well ahead of time, I'm posting this here, so that anyone interested could get their things in order in time.
DW2 Latecomers Mass Jump - WP9 Tranquility ValleyUPDATE: Date updated, it's of course 31 March, I accidentally put in the date for Friday the first time around...
Where: Phroi Bluae QI-T e3-3454 | Planet 3 A | Geo Site 4
When: 31 March 3305 (so everyone has about 1286 years to prepare, no need to rush)
Platform: PC (We are doing this on the PC platform, but of course if anyone would like to do something like this on PS4 or XBOX, feel free to do that.)
Mission Control will coordinate the event on the
Fleetcomm Discord in the room
pc-latecomers_mobius (this is in order to be able to accomodate any latecomers from any Squadron and even those who are not in any Squadrons at all).
Important disclaimer: like our previous jump, this is not an official DW2 event and it does not have any oversight by the DW2 leadership team, it is basically a community organized thing for us, latecomers.
However since it is not official, there is also no requirement to be on the DW2 latecomers roster. Since the DW2 latecomers roster is not published anywhere, there would be no way anyway to verify whether someone is on it or not. There are only two things needed... well, okay three:
1) Be in the MOBIUS FACTIONS private group
2) Sign up for the event
here on this form3) Be on the Fleetcomm Discord (the home of the DW2 expedition), since we'll coordinate the event there. The Fleetcomm Discord is open to anyone, even if you are not in the Fleetcomm private group.
So yes, that also means participation is not restricted to any Squadron, all DW2 latecomers are welcome.
Estimated schedule (is subject to change, depending mainly on number of people signing up, so check back here before Sunday):
All times below are UTC (so the in-game time)
19:00 Gather at the landing zone at the location given above to show off your ship, your SRV driving skills or just chilling out with other ships around besides your own. Wing beacons will be provided for landing pilots. Please observe safe flying protocols and try really hard not to blow up other pilots' ships, because they will be sad if that happens and you'll also be sad, since such an act could most likely mean you'll be banned from Mobius as per the
policy rules in effect.
19:30 We launch together from the planet, wing commander(s) fly out to the jump point and will wing people in one-by-one so that they can fly to the rendezvous point and be in the same instance. Everything will be explained during the event.
19:55 Fleet honk (because it sounds cool) and final checklists.
20:00 Jump
Due to the fact that an Elite Dangerous instance can comfortably hold only about 60 commanders, that's our limit for participation, but we might be some ways until we have that problem on our hands
Regardless, check the
Event Roster here to see if you are in the first 60 signups. (I'll manually update that list as the signups come in, so if you don't see yourself on it immediately after you signed up, don't worry, I'm just being lazy). Of course, in case we actually overflow this 60 people limit, we'll try figuring something out.
Questions, comments, whatever, you can hit me up on Discord, my username there is @Larenon#6062
See you at the jump!
