Deep Recon X - Gateway

So what exactly is DRX? I've read the bits on the old thread and the inara, but do you just mooch about doing your own thing? Do you have to report on stuff? I'm a bit unclear on the purpose.

This https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/266448-DEEP-RECON-X should make things a bit clearer.
However, I'll just answer directly. We do have group missions, some of which are designed for actual in-game group participation, and some which CMDRs will undertake at their own pace, in their own way, on their own. And then there's the fact that no mission is mandatory. CMDRs are entirely free to do whatever they want.
So mooch? Yes, if that's what you want - BongoBaggins is a lone wolf mooching around, but he's also a DReXer.
Wanna get together and do stuff together? Yep, we've got that covered too.
DRX has recently undergone a big shift, and we're getting better at covering all the angles.
Do you have to report? No! Not if you don't want to, but we find sharing is always better. Screenshots, logs, just passing comments, whatever. We have our lurkers, for sure, but we do also have an active bunch who are happy to report/share regularly.
We do get stuck in, as much as possible, with in-game story stuff, as well as general exploring.
(On which note I've just reminded myself to post my own pics of the Alien Wreck, for those who didn't get to see it before the blockade.)
Has that answered your question? DRX sets missions, or you can do your own thing.

Oh, and I should point out that our DG thread now included a mini-faq, which accompanies what you will have read on our INARA wing overview page.
 
OK, thanks very much for clearing that up!

I think I may consider joining soon, maybe tomorrow, or maybe later on because Forza Horizon 3 is released tomorrow and ED will be on the backburner.

Interestingly I did actually say yes to the poll on the old thread but I just forgot about it [blah]
 
So out of sheer randomness, not that I didn't accidentally start my journey in it or anything...
>_>
Who here thinks a combat fitted FDL is a good explorer?

no

no....

Its not the jump range... its the fact that you have to scoop for an hour every single jump. Worst ship for exploration ever. Even the Sidewinder is better.
 
What's your jump range? My combat python does twenty and she's my favorite girl to fly.

My ferdie does about 17 or so.
Kinda didn't mean on taking her out,just kinda happened lol.

Well aslong as its over 13 lightyears then you're good. I've never had a really long scoop time in a ferdie but I tend to keep larger scoops than most people.
At the end of the day if you're enjoying flying it then that's all that matters.
 
I started off in an asp exp, but now tend to do most exploring in an Anaconda. Around 44ly range at the moment but that's stripped of weapons. But still think the Asp is the best all rounder for this.
 
Been flying my Asp X since April, got over 100,000ly on the clock. Sure it's not got the greatest yaw, looks like a door wedge, but I've grown attached to it. I've named it after my little girl; DRX Jasmine though my little girl is far prettier :)

Other games are just games. Elite is what we always go back to :cool:
 
Nice shots, Iso. Glad to hear you escaped that bottle-neck!

Thanks ! Yes, that bottle-neck is a BEAST !!!! I thought I'd discovered my own little Formadine rift hahaha.

Def one to warn less patient commanders on, I nearly went mad trying to find a way out , was thinking I was the god-emporer of a million (more like 20) worlds earlier, thankfully the space-madness has settled and I'm back to being frosty :)

I keep hearing about this permit kicked sector, and it makes me both nervous and curious at the same time.

God's why do I have to be at work?
