Small Worlds Expedition 2!

Sadly it's later rather than earlier that I need.

The EU meetup time is 4 hours earlier than the standard US based weekday meetup though?
Which is only one hour later than the weekend meetup time.

Just saw this on the newsletter. Is it too late to join?
Bought a second exploration account last week, hope to have engineered DBX by the time this starts.
 
Just signed up, though will be missing the start, unfortunately (won't be online much this weekend). I've signed up with DBX, though haven't actually bought it yet so this may change... I'm likely to catch up with everyone at one of the waypoints either during the week or next weekend.

I got sidetracked by real life during Distant Worlds, and had to abandon it somewhere in the core. Hopefully I'll be able to complete this one. :)

Nope! We launch tomorrow; but I am leaving registration open until next week.
 
Hi guys, dumb question, but what do I need to install to record my upcoming journey?

I'm vaguely aware of something that reads the game journal to record all your jumps but I'm not clear which one of the many tools it is. I thought it was EDSM but that just appears to be a website.

I was hoping for something that would show my route when we get back?

Cheers

I'll give a short answer and others can fill in the details, since I'm a noob at this too.

A program like EDDdiscovery can track your flight as you play. It can also sync with EDSM. So install and configure EDDdiscovery, and also get an account in EDSM. At EDSM also get an API Key from your profile and copy this key into your commander profile in EDDdiscovery. This will allow it to copy your travels to EDSM.

Also you will want to join the expedition within EDSM, which is not otherwise necessary but that is where you would track your progress.

I think also in EDSM in your profile, you need to make your log entries public, so it is visible to the expedition.

Other apps like Captain's Log might work as well, I just use EDD.

Anything I missed?
 
EDDiscovery or EDMC (EDMarketConnector)

Personally I use EDMC, because of my trading background, and super simple GUI and basic use. (not to mention it's such a lightweight app I have it in my startup folder so it's always running).

EDD is a very intense piece of programming for very serious explorers. It is immensely capable of many things.

And you get both to sync to EDSM.
 
Alright guys. I'm the one behind hotdoy.ca/ed/bearing/ and I'm offering to add all planetary waypoints as presets. you in?
Ill even add a custom tag on them with the expedition logo.
Just say the word!

Now I've joined the project in the last minutes. But I have two questions jet:

At what EU-time (UTC) do we start today?
Who gives me access to discord-chat?

Meet you at BD+31 2290 :)

signed up last night but probably can;t hook up with a main session until WP3 or 4, I'll be around during the week but probably not at the listed times.
I've been looking at some of the build recomendations and such like an dam pleased my build is not too far off, maybe a few slight tweaks to save weight trimming excess performance (power plant, shield and thrusters)but one question I have is ...
why heatsinks?
the swe2 builds doc even lists them higher priority (want) than Field Maintenance unit (Nice to have)

actually a second question, as i've never had one before or done a serious expedition, with the FMU do i want the biggest (most ammo) i can find/fit/afford?
 
*sigh*

It's begun already, 11 attempts so far to get down to the LZ, constant matchmaking server errors and connection errors.. for the love of God Frontier, fix your networking!
 
Some gathering from yesterday evening:

I love the trailer! :D:D:D
Can we have the lyrics? The part I can understand is really funny!

The song is called Space Shanty by The Senate and can be found on iTunes/play store, lyrics below...

Oh the whiskey is floating, won't stay in me glass
I'm weightless and spinning and drunk off me ***
Oh the whiskey is floating in a sphere o'er me head
If we don't clear this wormhole we're surely be dead

So reach for the whiskey boys reach for the stars
They won't stop us drinking on Venus or Mars
So reach for the whiskey boys reach for the sky
For the vacuum of space sucks the bottles all dry


Oh infinite booty awaits us in space
We'll pillage and plunder with fervor and grace
Thats whats my astronomical unit is for
Let's party where no one has partied before

So reach for the whiskey boys reach for the stars
They won't stop us drinking on Venus or Mars
So reach for the whiskey boys reach for the sky
For the vacuum of space sucks the bottles all dry


Alone in the cockpit i gaze at the stars
I drink and i think of my hooooooooome (he thinks of his home) (of my hooome)

Our thrusters are the hottest that you've ever felt
They might just unbuckle your asteroid belt
We're honing our moonwalking skills as we speak
We'll dance on Uranus by this time next week

So reach for the whiskey boys reach for the stars
They won't stop us drinking on Venus or Mars
So reach for the whiskey boys reach for the sky
For the vacuum of space sucks the bottles all dry

Hi - newbie - can't seem to join PC group

Hi,

I've been to "Friends and Private Groups", then the Groups tab and searched for "Braben is Thargoid". I don't seem to have access to the private group. Am I doing something wrong ?
