Deep Recon X - Gateway

If I can get free this evening I'll drop by and lend a hand. I presume everyone is welcome.....

I'm still ~150 jumps away

 

[Armholeeio]

Out with the family unit, and then a few beers with mates, will definitely be on 2moro night if anyone is floating about

WEELLLLL, it's supposed to be a DRX member get-together (feel free to join:https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/266448-DEEP-RECON-X?p=4112839#post4112838)
However, if you're passing through and want to say hello, feel free.
Do though note the limitations of Xbone instancing, which is why it's a group event - we've developed ways to organise group larger than 16 (IF we need it. Timeszones, playstyles, etc have to be taken into account).
PLUS the mission is weekend-long.

Bear in mind mission parameters, Bongo. 150 jumps - you could conceivably make it by tomorrow evening (UTC) for day two...

As noted to Bongo, 'Homecoming' is weekend-long (even extending into Monday morning UTC to make sure late-coming Antipodeans don't miss out on some social fun!)
See you tomorrow night, Kev.
@ALL I'll be on and off throughout the weekend. See me? Give me an o7 and I'll wing up OR direct you to another wing (depending on numbers) Discord is important here, because it allows us to socialise across instancing issues. You all have the URL, surely

I took this picture because it was two water worlds in orbit around each other and in the middle of the Eagle Nebula with it's string of stars. Now that I'm looking at it, it also looks like a grumpy face. lol.

No Problem! 'Homecoming' is a weekend-long mission, with various CMDRs winging up and messing around.
You've joined DRX, so a big WELCOME to you. We'll look forward to greeting you in-game.

Anyway...
And then THEY arrived. You know, the 'what's that? IDK, let's shoot the out of it!' 'people'...

Still firing...

So, I started to head up, guess what?
Yep, still firing...

I'm not much of a joiner lol, but if I was going to join something it would be a exploration group and you all have some pretty bad !@# logos.

logos? Oh, man you don't know the half of it. We are actually pretty organised.
AND this is our fifth month (I think that's closing on record territory for an Xbox group.
Not to mention our plans for the future, including the, erm, MASSIVE adventure, starting next weekend (8th Oct) - "Go West!"
You say you're not a joiner, but so are many of our members...
They're lone wolves who operate under the DRX banner, and share in our community.

Hey guys, just letting you know that I think the best use for my Xbox account is as an exploration account.

Just a case of getting past the slow downloads on my console...

 

[TOM USMC]

Well let me know what the deal is. I guess I could be talked into it. I'm hardly seasoned though. I'm still out on my first excursion.

But hey, 5 months you say?! That is a little more than the gestation period of a Porcupine and a few months short of a Hippo.

What could go wrong?

I mention the five months to show we're not a flash in the pan, BUT that we're still really young as a group. Most 'groups' come and go fairly rapidly. (some people also make the mistake of thinking we're a single-expedition group, like Distant Worlds. We're not.)
editWe're still here and are in fact in the middle of a fairly major re-organisation, setting us up for a stable future.
Way we see it, FDev has planned TEN seasons and we're not even halfway through season two. We plan to last for quite some time.
As for being seasoned, that's part of the point of DRX - we have SUPER experienced Deep Spacers, and CMDRs who've never left the bubble. We can tutor, and guide, and escort, and help, as needed.
We ATTEMPT science. We do a lot of legwork. We have fun.

So much....were still looking for cheese. Have you seen any! Just one cow please. Even a quart or two of dairy would be nice. A nice cheddar or colby jack, maybe a pepperjack.
We're loners for a reason. Hahahahaha

Im still looking for the fabled hobnob planet.

Homecoming - Day 1

Getting together

How not to say hello

Pomeche - Playground of fools

That canyon is DEEP

REALLY DEEP (you can SC in it!)

 

[Windie004]

I dropped in to Diaguandri,early this morning to assist in the removal of a few undesirables. There are a lot of system authority ships about and many, many system interdictions.

Hope to catch up later, I have never winged up before so it should be interesting if I get the chance to do so.

The system authority interdictions are off the charts right now. That's why last night when some of us winged up we headed to Pomeche (197ly away) for some canyon-jumping shenanigans.
I'll be on shortly, and then again tonight (UTC, that is). Give me and o7 if I'm on when you are, and we can see about getting together (be warned though ED's instancing on Xbox is shonky as hell)

 

[Dell Tarrant]

Although instancing was slightly off (to say the least) last night, I did manage to wing up with JT, as seen below.
