Greetings Commanders!
What a Historic day for TDW, and on
Elite-Day no less! (07/07)
Well, We have settled into our new
FOB (Forward Operating Base) at
Anyanwu System and I am writing this message from
Delbruck Outpost in orbit of
Anyanwu 2b. This is to be home for a few weeks so I wanted to get a feel for the place after a LONG day of work punctuated by a short break to join my friends D2EA and Dubbs on Astro's stream to steal some
Sap 8 Cores (Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2BIUfvOyqM
) I wanted to congratulate everyone who worked so hard for our triumphant expansion on our way to
Way-point 1-Sol. Anyanwu was
exactly where we wanted to land and at 19 ly from LFT 926 it was near maximum distance we could achieve! There were many who
knew that TDW was locked to Shindez and 926 and that we were wasting our time. We have overcome this resistance as we will
continue to overcome in our relentless pursuit of our goals. Rather than gloat or be negative we rather choose to embrace those whom said that this couldn't be done and welcome them to join in our cause to prove that yet other goals thought impossible are indeed achievable if we continue to refuse to accept failure as an option! To that end I would like to thank you all again and as I see that Crypto has already diligently posted the
#Standing-Orders from the Elite Week Discord channel (where you can join if you wish to see these changes the second they are posted) and that several others are bringing carriers and various other resources in system I wish to thank them all for these actions above and beyond the call!
I am also quite pleased to announce that the official FC in support of this project "
Elite Week-1 (TDW) [KNQ-L2B]" is currently on station a mere 6.5 Ls away from the FOB. This Fleet Carrier which is fully equipped with all relevant services
(SHIPYARD, OUTFITTING, REPAIR, REFUEL, REARM, UNIVERSAL CARTOGRAPHICS) and is permanently set to
NO TARIFF and
OPEN TO ALL will remain on station in close support of this project and continue to move to the active system for TDW project for months offering dedicated support to all commanders turning the wheel. Please note that UC is available for those rare times when you might want the instant convenience but we do ask that you normally drop off UC data at a location for the benefit of TDW as will be stated in
#Standing-Orders channel!
*NOTE: The
ONE exception to this statement is that I have made a prior commitment to lend my FC to the BuckeyBall Race Club for 10 days in July
(FROM July 16th to 26th) to support their "
Key's to the Carrier" Race. For those 10 days the carrier will be offsite but will immediately return on the
27th to be fully dedicated to this project for the entire time it remains active.
So we expanded exactly where we wanted to now lets look at
why we wanted this system.
1.
NO PMF IN SYSTEM. This allows us to come in take over and play thru
without disrupting any players! This project is dedicated to minimizing damage to other players.
2.
SMALL POPULATION. This allows us to hit the system hard and fast. We have engineered a situation where we should be able to take advantage of a couple wars to leapfrog right over the other factions and take control of the system in a week. In addition, the extra needed INF gains to push Anyanwu into expansion should be very achievable based on system population.
While we are doing all of this, LFT 926 is still in expansion territory and we will be looking to capitalize on this to secure our first expansion toward
Way-point 3-Lave. Once accomplished we will let that expansion sit for a while as we will be focused largely upon going to
Way-point 1-Sol and
Way-point 2-LFT 509 but securing this beachhead now will save us valuable time later in the project.
So all in all, I am quite happy to report complete success of every objective thus far in our timeline and I hope to continue to bring good news in the coming days. Thanks again for all of your support and lets all keep
Turning that Wheel! 
I'll redeem my bounties from last night in LF926. There's more to earn anyway.
May we take yet another couple of steps. Other than the obvious one that's planned, I can't help but be excited about the step towards Lave (probably due in part to my play back in the very beginning days of Elite).
