Swoals IL-Y e0--->Swoals RW-W D1-2
Next Sunday, we will attempt our most challenging jump yet, and also probably the first large scale neutron mass jump in Elite: Dangerous.
UPDATE: Instance 1 is now full with 60 Commanders signed up. It is still technically possible to sign up there, but you will be put on a waiting list. We recommend signing up for Instance 2 at this time.
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT. Sign up at the following SIGN-UP SHEET

- We will wing people into two instances for this event. The first instance will be coordinated by ingame text chat, while the second instance will be coordinated on the Fleetcomm Discord voice channel dw2-events-voice. You can choose between the two instances during registration NOTE: Instance 2 will also have ingame text, and there is no need to talk on Discord if you just want to listen in.
- Please check this Forum post for any important updates after you have signed up, especially on Sunday. We will also post regular updates on the #dw2-events and #dw2-massjumps channels to keep you informed.

JUMP 08 - Goliath's Leap
Swoals IL-Y e0--->Swoals RW-W D1-2, Mar 24th, 20:00 UTC
GENERAL CONCEPT & TIMELINE (all times in UTC / INGAME TIME) - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ARE BELOW
- Starting now until Sunday, 18:00 UTC: Registration for the mass jump at the SIGN-UP SHEET
- 17:00: Signed up Commanders start gathering by themselves (no organized wing in) at the Hades Edge basecamp on Swoals IL-Y e0 B 1 ("Goliath's Rest" / WP8).
- 18:00: Signed up Commanders launch together from Basecamp, supercruise to the Swoals IL-Y e0 main neutron star, supercharge their FSDs and wait in supercruise to be winged into the jump instances.
- ~18:15: Wing coordinators start setting up the jump instances.
- 18:30-19:55: Jump instance is set up, CMDRs who want to jump with us should standby in system & in supercruise to be winged in. Wing coordinators will start winging in CMDRs.
- 19:55: Fleet mass honk, followed by final checklists.
- 20:00 Mass jump to the Swoals RW-W D1-2 star system.
INSTANCE 1 (Coordinated by ingame text chat):
CMDRs
- Rebecca Lansing
- Luna Valenwood
- Bra2S
- The Sonderval
- Bolasie
CMDRs
- Dr.Nagi
- Diana Night
- Mosta
- Derage
- Make sure you're on the PC platform and on the Fleetcomm private group, and you're familiar with wing procedures and dropping into wing beacons
- Make sure you will be able to actually reach the Swoals IL-Y e0 star system (WP8: Goliath's Rest). Please consult the current route map on how to get there.
- Register for the mass jump event at the following SIGN-UP SHEET
- Check your entry on the ROSTER to see which roster number your entry is at. Both instances have a capactity of roughly 60 ships. If your roster number is above 60, you will be put on a waiting list.
- Our wing coordinators will send you a friend request, make sure to accept them.
- Familiarize yourself with the concept of neutron supercharging, if you have not done so before. We have prepared an instruction video for that, which also goes over the concept for this event. This other video also explains the intricacies of entering the jet cones of neutron stars very well. If you do not want to use the neutron supercharge, you can use an FSD injection to boost your jump range instead, if you have enough "jumponium" materials to do so.
- Start gathering at the Hades Edge Basecamp on Swoals IL-Y e0 B 1 from 17:00. The wing coordinators will also be waiting there, so come join us as we go over final preparations. There will be no wing-in at that point yet, everyone can just land at the Basecamp by themself. This will also be a good opportunity to go over any questions you might still have.
- At 18:00, we will all launch together from Basecamp, enter supercruise, and head over to the Swoals IL-Y e0 main neutron star. You should then supercharge your FSD at its jet cone. There's plenty of time to do so, so don't rush it and be careful! After your FSD is supercharged (or if you are simply using jumponium instead), get some distance to the neutron star and wait to be winged in to the jump instances.
- At this point, please make sure that you really have the required range to reach our target system Swoals RW-W D1-2 (78.3LY) by either having supercharged from the neutron star or having boosted your FSD with a jumponium injection.
- The wing-in to the jump points will start from about 18:30 and will continue to about 19:55. You will receive a wing invitation from one of our coordinators. Make sure you accept any friend requests from them, so they can add you to their wings.
- Supercruise to the wing beacon of your coordinator and drop into our instance. Leave the wing after dropping to make room for the next CMDR. If you have any instancing problems dropping in, try messaging one of the other wing coordinators. Before you drop in, put 4 pips to SYS for maximum shield strength and keep it set up like that in case of any collisions. Be aware that other ships dropping in might me right on top of you.
- Form up around the other ships in the instance and lock onto the Swoals RW-W D1-2 star system (78.3 LY away).
- Check your fuel levels and consumption at this point, and make sure they don't drop below the level needed to make the jump. If you have a small fuel tank, you might want to shut down your thrusters or other systems to conserve fuel. We will have a number of refueling ships with us, so if you need gas, just ask.
- At 19:55: After the fleet mass honk, standby for final checklists and announcements.
- At 19:58: Charge your FSD and keep your throttle at zero.
- At 20:00: Throttle up and engage. IMPORTANT: After you enter the jump, immediately throttle down again, because the jump target will be another neutron star!
