Joining from Colonia

S.Bartfast

Hello, I have only recently found out about this expedition and am currently at Jaques Station in Colonia, riding in an Asp Explorer. What would be the best way to join the expedition from here? Should I attempt to take the Neutron Highway back to the bubble, then chase on after the main crew, or would it be better to intercept the main crew part way, directly from Colonia?

Also, has there been anyone else join the expedition from here?


Thanks,
Slarti.

I think it's pretty much up to you. If you want 100% completion to show up in your EDSM account, you could head straight to Pallaeni and then catch up at Omega. Or if you just want to catch up, you could go to Omega.

If you want to make changes to your ship, heading to the bubble would make sense, and then you could go through Pallaeni from there. Otherwise, it will be a lot faster to just meet up with the fleet at Omega.

Okay, I've used 'Spansh' to plot a Neutron Star course to Omega. Looks like it's going to take 95 jumps to get there, so set out this evening to make a start.

On the way I accidentally flew too close to a few stars and have sustained a little damage. I'm also not exactly sure if I have a Scarab on board or not. Will I be able to repair the damage and possibly get a Scarab once I reach Omega, or will those things require a trip into the bubble?

You an definitely repair there, but I'm not sure about the SRV. I haven't tried buying one there. Do you mean the SRV hangar bay? Or just the scarab inside?

Depending on how far you've gotten, you could stop by at Rohini along the way. They're not well stocked either, but you probably have a better chance of finding things there than at Omega.

I'm signed up to DW2 and still out in Colonia and I don't think I'm the only one. I'll probably wander towards SagA* once CG1 is done and rendezvous with the expedition there. I'd like to explore new systems rather than retrace my steps to the bubble then head for SagA*

Nice work on those fjords btw.

I mean just the Scarab inside.

I took one with me on the way out here but tumbled and rolled it down the face of a mountain and, well, it basically went *Kaboom*. That was over a year ago now and I wasn't sure if I replaced it when I was at Colonia and can't actually work out how to check.


As it is I'm currently only 17 jumps in (out of 95) so I'll see how far away Rohini is and may well pop in for a quick refit (and a brew ;)).

Thanks [up]

OK, if you had one fitted, but it got destroyed, you should be able to "reload" it like ammo, at pretty much any station.

I'm with you on this. I'm trying to find other CMDR's in the Discord channel and on these forums. I'm in the DW2S squadron (the third one) and I don't want to have to head back to Omega. I actually went through there before I got wind of DW2 - otherwise I would have hung around - but now I'm in Colonia I figure it'd be best to come in at the main convoy at an angle, like.

Hopefully this thread will gain some traction and we'll be able to patch together a Colonia convoy to head out to one of the later Waypoints.

Whatcha say?

Hi, I am also exploring around Colonia and so plan to meet up with DW2 at some point. I find a little frustrating that the waypoints are not posted yet.

They're not accepting anyone in their PG or their official Discord channel, so unless you want to go in Solo and never see anybody, or in Open and potentially be the blood sacrifice required of the gods, er, I mean the the "Fleetcomm organizers" there really isn't much point. After the Paelini Incident you'd best believe them gates all slammed shut.

PM me or befriend me in game - there are stirrings and there's a plan forming for what you want. It's not just you. I'm in one of the ED In-game Squadrons but none of the Private Groups. I'm guessing that as this thing wears on and people drop out for one reason or another that places will open up in the PG's, so long as we ourselves stay committed. It's probably going to be about another month before the convoy starts to approach the core so a while to go yet. Slow burning trip. The station building CG is the next big hulabaloo at WP7. But yeah there's no hard info yet and the waypoints not announced (for good reason imho). I have a best guess rendezvous that we can head towards and plenty of exploring on the way.

Looking forward to meeting you.:cool:

I'm in the Fleetcom PG (applications are "temporarily closed" I hope they reopen, but you have to be on the roster though which closes TODAY) and also in Mobius so there are a few options that aren't open.

I'm also taking a semi engineered Conda with 2000MJ of shields and 1200-2300 armour depending on much jump range I want. So happy to hang in open too up until the griefers start running in wings.

Go the Colonial Distant Worlds 2 reinforcement squad!
