Does anybody wing anymore?

scorpyon · Jul 15, 2015

When Wings first came out, I loved forming up with random CMDRs to go a-huntin'.
But it seems like nobody seems to want to Wing up any more these days.
Let alone even talk to you.
I keep trying to chat to other commanders but nada.
Seems like it's just all about the Lone Wolf and the pew-pew these days which makes me a bit sad...

It gets lonely doing stuff on yer own the whole time without mates to fly around with.
Anyone wanna form a Bounty Hunting team or summat? I'm in the Lavigny Space area if anyone wants to go hunt 'rats and other naughty folks...

Many people winging up near Jeterait!

Siddius · Jul 15, 2015

I haven't been in a wing for about a month, at a guess, and only maybe 5 or 6 times before that, its not that I don't want to wing up, it's just that I don't want it to be just some random "hey look there's a commander let's see if he wants to wing for something", lack of in game communication systems maybe? or a notice board/msg/jobs system?

Done some winging, even if it is not worthwhile, just for the social aspect, blabbering while cleaning trash Elite, Deadly and Dangerous enemies.
When are the purples and golds introduced ?
Can we have health potions too ?
Are we going to have Legendairies ?

ohh.. wrong game

Cheers Cmdr's

Maybe they don't want to wing up with some random guy from the Internets

Near Jeterait, there are some nice HRES, and wingmates help. Come on by, our wing is 3 strong normally, and can use 1 more.

Commander Tardis - Play time is normally 1630 hrs EST

yes as often as possible.....when it works.

Part of it is lack of content... Why wing up randomly when there's nothing that is difficult/rewarding enough to require a wing?

Strong Signal Sources. I know some people brag how they can take them on, by they are well out of my league.

Sweet!
I'll see if I can swing by that way tonight then!

Hmm - what sort of time is 16.30 EST in the UK?
I "think" you are about 5hrs, behind, so I'm guessing around 9.30pm?

HipToss · Jul 15, 2015

Yes, 5 hours behind

Side quesiton - do you happen to know if there's any C3 Gimballed Beams anywhere near there?
Spent around 2 hours looking for some in local systems last night, but no dice... :-/

Cant say. I fitted my Anaconda at Lembava. Good discount on everything, but have not been there in awhile.

I hang out in alliance space and every one there is nice even the pirates are social and say thanks.

I always wing up with my friends, but we only ever winged up with one random stranger. Usually there is no point to wing up with randoms, trading one can do alone and is very boring for any escort. In RES you usually don't want others since your income then gets halfed due to the low spawn rate and mediocre ships even in HRES. It makes sense in CZ, where fighting alone is tough, but I usually only do that with friends anyway..

Just checking, it sounds like you know what you're doing, but you know you can tag a hostile a few times with your weaps, friend finishes it off, both get paid. T'other way round as well of course.
