Distant Worlds - Fleet Flagship

[Erimus Kamzel]

Meet the fleet flagship : "The Zombie Wasp IV"

The only T9 in the fleet that I'm aware of.

She's laden with essential supplies needed at Beagle Point - tonnes of Lavian Brandy, Tobacco, and Narcotics


She's to be piloted by CMDR Olivia Vespera, and the two players in the screenshot are Vespera and Kamzel - discussing how on earth we're going to get this Goliath to Beagle Point in 12 weeks!

But lets make history and help get the first T9 to the Abyss, and onward to Beagle Point.

The Wasp and the Beagle departed Waypoint 1 this morning, two of the last ships to leave Laika's Rest behind... see you in the Lagoon next week (hopefully).

For a bit of fun (no prizes), enter the "Spot the Wasp" competition. If you spot the Zombie Wasp IV during your journey to Beagle Point, post a screenshot of her in this thread with the name of the system you spotted her in.

Lets keep tabs on CMDR Vespera and our Flagships whereabouts!

This is awesome... she is very brave doing so... I just wish her the best and lots of strength and endurance for this trip... we've been following her in Discord and we are going to do as much as possible to help her out! Kudos to CMDR Olivia Vespera!

Fleet Flagship

Looks more like a supply ship to me. Now on the other hand, if I should pick a flagship, it would probably look something like this:

If it doesn't have a hold full of Lavian Brandy, its not much of a flagship imho :/

Essentials over aesthetics.

Exceptional!! Can you post the coriolis build? Want get an idea of the jump range and capabilities, so I can appreciate the full awesomeness and daring. Though I have an idea of the full carpal tunnel and sweaty palmed feel scooping involved. Never mind the ginger landings at meet ups and leg stretching stop overs.

It has only all the needs and luxuries befitting a fleet admiral, such as myself

Here you go~ La Oranĝa Stelo was its working name at the time of building.

 

[Ziljan]

Oh myyyy. So are you fully laden with a a 15 LY range?! Makes me wish I had the lesser courage to bring my FDL to fly combat escort. But my combat Asp is always nearby if you need to refuel an unknown pilot asking for help, etc. Btw, the most impressive part of your build: 96MJ shields? You must be a VERY good pilot

If Carlsberg did a flagship:

I'm thinking Gutamaya & this has more in common:

I thought I saw a T9. Ambitious!

I so want to see the T9 and the Orca landing at Beagle Point

 

[Flash_Baggins]

Well done! Beautiful

We should have a competion during the journey... "Spot the Wasp".... and post a screenshot of where you saw it

CMDR Micky Shades made a video of the Wasp and the Beagle departing waypoint 1 this morning...

I salute you Commander. Hope to see you at Beagle Point.

Thank you so much for hauling all these supplies!

Its gonna be a great party out there!

Cudos to the T9-Commander. If I can be of help - just ask! Should you run out of Lavian Brandy, there will be 1 ton in my hold waiting. Maybe minus a couple of bottles that I opened during the mission

 

[Erimus Kamzel]

Ok its official - enter the Spot the Wasp competition - an ongoing event all the way to Beagle Point! - details in the OP

That ship looks a little old and rundown. Mind you, I've never understood the Carlsberg tagline either, as they haven't yet learned to brew beer properly, so shouldn't be held up as an example of anything...

Kudos to the T9 (well, the pilot, anyway!), and good luck to you. I wouldn't be able to complete such an undertaking. I used a T9 a lot for trading just before DW, and for exploring any distance the handling would drive me mad(der).

^^ no i'm not that crazy. I only filled half the cargo rack on my way to WP1. 64 tons of rare commodities, 64 tons of limpets. I dumped 32 tons of limpets before heading to WP2.
