Hello DWE Crew and Fleet,
From The orignal DWE thread:
And that is exactly what you did:
When I started experimenting with exploration and tools around it, the DWE had just reached Sagittarius A*. So at that point in time there was a thick line from Sol to SagA and after that a very thin line all the way to Beagle Point. In the weeks thereafter I saw this "one warm line" growing along the tracks of this thin line. It was very much fun to see this grow through the galaxy
.
Now, at the start of the Beagle Point Week, I congratulate you on your achievement, and I thank you for sharing so much with the rest of the community. I could not take part of this expedition, as I started playing the game at the time the expedition began. I saw the announcement and thought: "Wow, that is cool!", but when I started playing Elite Dangerous for real I soon found out that, at least for me, it was just too soon to participate in an expedition of this scale, but I immensly enjoyed reading about it. I am amazed, and inspired, by the diversity of the DWE related material that is shared. There are logbooks, databases, spreadsheets, pictures, video dyaries, poems, music, etc. This expedition did inspire so much more than just the creation of a highway through the galaxy an the exploration of the worlds around it, and that is beautiful to see.
I didn't stay at home, though, partially thanks to you DWE members. I started exploring also. Well, maybe exploring is a great word for what I am doing: I'm currently racing through the galaxy like an idiot tourist, and having tons of fun while doing so (my progression is the little red line near the bubble). I learn every day a little bit about flying through the galaxy and about what a fantastic community there is around exploration. I read lots of threads (until now mainly about the DWE) and have one thread of my own in which I write about my own progression. One day I hope to be able to participate in an expedition like this, but for now I'm happy to read about it and make my own beginners mistakes during my holiday run.
I have to admit that I have been pre-occupied by the outcome of one of the DWE stories: The story of CMDR Frawd Digger and the Rock Rats. It even made me a bit emotional when I read that CMDR Frawd Digger made Beagle Point. To me personally this is the best story of them all (see my signature to find out why).
I whish you all a very happy Beagle Point Week! I'll keep on reading and lurking and I hope to read about / from you guys more in the future.
Fly safe,
CMDR Jermus
