Distant Worlds 3 - A Decade of Exploration and a New Journey?

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
Participating in a proper expedition has been on my bucket list since I heard about those.
I played ED pretty much from the beginning, but took a hiatus shortly after Horizons came out (until needing a way to get away from things in 2020 brought me back), after experiencing some kind of burn-out from a solo exploration trip. I guess going with others would have prevented that.
So, I'd definitely be interested.

The sleeper has awakened! :D
 
I never had the chance to participate in big event, always playing from time to time, casually, but that always looked so nice and ambitious.
I would gladly try to participate <3
 
I left Elite Dangerous after Frontier announced no further improvements to VR would happen in Odyssey, but my experience in DW2 I had was unforgettable. I would return for a DW3 and would look forward to how my experience from then to now would be affected. Fleet carriers, new ships, new mechanics, all things I would need to be brought up to speed with, I would look forward to as part of that adventure.
 
I am new to the Verse and just back from my first 'deep for me' voyage into the Black (about half-way to Skull and Crossbones after stops at Epsilon Orionis, New Beginnings station, and CXOU J061705.3+222127 in the Jellyfish Nebula.

I think the trick to a successful DW3, after all the things you pointed out, would be a more diversified event. Not a single destination or route but multiple destinations. Perhaps even destinations that would need to be found. My first gut feel would be, with Fdev's help, some sort of deep space colonization of undiscovered Earth-like worlds.
Event would look something like this:
1) a mass search for NEW undiscovered earth-likes.
2) once found, registering that world for a special deep space colonization beacon
3) localized community goals for supplying specialized quantities and strategic materials for a new deep space outpost.
4) support other discovered deep space earth-likes OR continue the search for more earth-likes for the duration of the event.
5) once event completes open "bubble type / 10 LY" colonization around new deep space colonies.

Just an off-the-cuff idea. Tons of fdev logistics needed and rewards - maybe decals that would have a designation of how many colonies you helped set up (like the Titan stars for AX)
 
That's an interesting idea, Tallsquall. Something like that could tie in well with the colonization mechanics.

In any case: I've played Elite Dangerous since Gamma and done my fair share of exploration and expeditions (including DWE, DW2, CCC, etc). I haven't played regularly for the past few years, but I am absolutely into coming back for this. I even bought an ARX Mandalay in preparation... ;)
 
I just started playing Elite recently, but i have heard alot about Distance worlds and would love to be a part of one. Got fuel ratt mandlay ready

OR better yet/to better spring board off those ideas.............. Have Fdev bring back the Interstellar Initiative for DW3!
