I believe the flyby you're talking about is used as the intro in my Arrival Day video.

Now that looked fun
Now that looked fun
And it was
. Best event I joined so far. That view, when all ships started their chase after tiny SRVs - it was sooo scary. Anacondas shooting with that big lasers . I enjoyed it a lot and I highly advise all of you to join for next round today.
Thanks commander, but our flyby was lead by Cmdr Alexander Tal'Darim in a cobra. One of the participating commanders is working on the footage, but this is
"only" footage from one of the participating ships. We sort of forgot to have someone on the ground for recordings.
Sort of forgot?
Or no one wanted to be in an SRV while a fleet of armed ships flew over head looking for an SRV to blow up?

Oops, my mistake.
And it was
It was REALLY scary when you'd been driving for minutes and suddenly these massive ships came flying by left and right seconds after they'd started. Then you had the careening along in the darkness praying not to be noticed and absolutely papping your pants when the whole world lit up and you knew you'd been spotted!
The frantic minutes (seconds.... cough) of jumping, spinning and flying around trying not to get hit; and in my case: turning around to see an Anaconda trying to snort my SRV like some kind of huge metallic porcine predator. I was laughing and squealing (aaaaaand swearing :x ) all at once.
I worked out a few things: 4 pips to shields, prep your synthesis to be ready to repair instantly before setting off, and if you really want to annoy an Anaconda: drive AT them when they spot you. They can't turn quick enough!
Most of us where unarmed, stil are
We just should have had one less commander in the formation and send him to record from ground, we just didn't..... our fault.

No mistake here commander, you couldn't know that we flew a different flyby could you ?
Most Distant Death, now that's a record with quite a ring to it! I'm looking forward to the footage from the whack a rat antics, as I missed all of it.
Last night during those emotional speeches on the livestream i was thinking...why not set up one more WP? WP24: Bubble. Lets give all the commanders enough time to come home by whatever route they have chosen - i think 4-5 months is reasonable - and meet again somewhere in the Bubble. We can sit by the campfire and tell stories about DW and our journey back home. Or just say hello and keep the spirit alive
What you think, anyone interested?
I thoroughly LOVE this idea. I'll most likely be the last one to reach said WP24 but I think it's a fantastic concept and a great way to finalize the first Distant Worlds Expedition.
If we are going to stick a waypoint in the bubble then my vote would go for Mitterand Hollow. That planet is bonkers, hence the perfect place for a get together
It's also not a permit restricted system which is handy because my first suggestion was going to be for Ariel in the Sol system.

Yes, the FGE has two routes, one going to the east and one going to the west.

Mitterand Hollow is where the beginnings of the Distant Worlds fleet first met, back in December to help see how basecamp coordination would work on the coming expedition.If we are going to stick a waypoint in the bubble then my vote would go for Mitterand Hollow.

It would certainly make a great Waypoint 24.
"Reunion Landing", Mitterand Hollow, Dec. 1st 3302 anyone?
