Distant Worlds - A journey beyond the Abyss

[Brother Sabathius]

Started my journey towards beagle point yesterday. Is it still possible to join some group like kamzels to see fellow members in space once I catch up?

Few screenshots from first and second wp

I can accept new Commanders into Patrecleus group. Otherwise, there are a lot of us flying in Open at least some of the time.

Official video of the event is out

Yes, I was in TEAMSPEAK. I love teamspeak now

So... 52 is the hard limit and we just happened to hit right on it?

Well that doesn't explain how we got 53 then does it?

one question: In the "Fleet Progress Tracker" Google Docs (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...VDQD8zWWdpB644Brr4WRJ9t-U/edit#gid=1126482705) what is the difference between "Number registered at each waypoint" and "Number at each waypoint"?

I think it means:

"Number registered at each waypoint" i.e. number of cmdrs that have passed through that waypoint at some point.
"Number at each waypoint" i.e. number of cmdrs that are at that waypoint now.

... Math is hard?

And the meetup has made Kotaku

Edit: Eurogamer has it now too

Can I confirm WP12 Altum Sagittari is QUEMEOU YE-A E0? I would like to get there tomorrow and head back for the meet at SagA*

 

[drkaii]

You made the magazines again. I salute you all.

Agreed I need to get to WP 12. Confirmation would be appreciated.

Way points. (unless they have been changed by now).

 

[stripealipe]

Just dropping by to send my congratulations to all those participating on your achievements so far. Very impressive..

Fly safe...

 

[Jhyrryl]

For everyone currently at, or on their way to Sagittarius A*, imagine getting there in under 8 hours.

Only 8 of those are DW waypoint systems, so not sure what expedition you've been on

I think it was 53 in the end, someone jumped in right before the hyperspace departure.

I just made it to Beagle Point and I'm on the Distant Worlds voyage. You can watch the full, un cut, un edited voyage on my youtube channel. I also play on xbox so, for me, this is good.

I've found polonium 9.03 LY from Sagittarius A if anyone needs it. Stuemeae BA-A D6708 A 1 has it, it's metal rich, less than 8 LS from the arrival point and gravity is 0.88G.

Werent you the same guy who insisted of knowing the waypoints beforehand?
Enihuu, Distant Worlds expedition is currently on waypoint 11. :S

Its fine, looks like he made up his own solo player DW voyage and created his own waypoints for it . In hindsight nothing wrong with doing that I suppose especially since he was part of the 24 player XBox roster - which sadly couldn't socialize with the main PC fleet anyway.

Well GSRTrent can join our splinter group, the rebel alliance known as the Maverick Buccaneers who refuse to bow to the Tyranny of the Itinerary! We're following that very route, well at least some of us are, being mavericks we refuse to do what each other is doing which is kind of difficult as we don't know how to get there otherwise. Those way points were discovered in this post:

To quote the name of my ship and the fantastic Gaige from Borderlands 2 ...

SMASH THE SYSTEM!!!!

I watched his video of when he made a ship star in front of Sag A*. Apparently he holds the joint record for the least number of players in an instance whilst in star formation in front of a super massive black hole.

Seriously massive kudos to anyone who makes it to BP, regardless of speed, number of WP (official and unofficial), and to those unlucky few who fail to make it back to the bubble in one piece.

LOL... What a great achievement and not to mention video!!

Back to reality, wp11 has been great fun. Due to my enforced unwelcome holiday I'll be buckying to 17 mon-wed so I won't be too far behind when I come back.
