Crashing the View - DW2 Fleet Mechanics event (1.12-1.13)

Hello everyone!

To celebrate the start of Hull Sealing two years ago, and the crucible the fledgling Fleet Mechanics endured in that very first leg of the Journey, we will be doing what many, many commanders did at the start of DW2.

Smear ourselves across the surface of The View in HR 6164 (ABC 1).

The event will start January 12th at 0000 UTC (In game), and end at 2359 January 13th, giving you just 48 hours to make the admittedly short jaunt to our planned Gravity Check. We will have a designated Carrier in Pallaeni to save your spawn at, the carrier will then travel to The View for our respawn after our Kinetic Energy Tests.

Each game system (PC, Xbox, and PS4) will have a lead to organize a mass jump from Pallaeni, where the participants will race like a Seal on a case to the surface of The View as fast as possible for rapid disassembly. You are still free to participate even if you can't make the mass jump!

Survivors of this endeavour are encouraged to lift back off, and attempt the endeavour again as needed until application of planetary surface is successful at teleporting you back to your spawn.

Please bring your DW2 ship if possible, but it's not required. We will be using the Fleetcomm PG (See the Fleetcomm Discord for information on joining the PG), and will be communicating through the Hull Seals channel on the Fleetcomm Discord.

After our mass pancake productions, take your time to return! Swing past Omega, and the various other POIs. We're nearing the potential/eventual rumored theoretical/hypothetical DW3, and it's a nice reminder of the fun that was had previously. Depending on Timezones, and group sizes, System Leads may try to arrange additional mini events at their own discretion and participants interest.

Hope to see you all there!

DW2 thread for POI reference:
 
It's time everyone!

For the next 48 hours, it'll be time to race from Pallaeni to The View (HR 6164 ABC 1) and greet the planet with your face!

If you want to arrange any meetups, or just want to chat, go to the hull seals channel in the Fleetcomm Discord.

Hope to see you there, and don't forget to take some screenshots!

If you want to try and arrange a group jump, talk to the platform leads : )

48 hours later, and The View has been tested kinetically, spot inspected, had it's craters upgraded, it's gravity confirmed operational, and definitely been crashed.

It was great to see friends from DW2, to talk once again, and to do something as simple as just racing to a planet, and ramming it.

Even if somehow I needed to do it twice before it took (Tissue paper Krait actually Stronk???).

Feel free to post screenshots or videos, I'll try to get mine up in the next day or so myself! XD

Happy flying commanders, and see you come Odyssey and the hopefully eventuall DW3 craziness!
