Finally made it! Went out on this expedition with haste after finding out about it by accident, and was almost completely unprepared. Got myself a Diamondback Explorer, one level of FSD range engineering, and set off to catch up with the fleet. It's been an amazing adventure, and I managed to improve my FSD range a little over the course of the journey, eventually winding up with a reasonable 39.51LY range by the end.
Real life issues got in the way a couple of times, pushed me way back on the schedule, but I caught up the first time. Then had to backtrack from nearly being at WP8 to go back to the Explorer's Anchorage to get an AFMU. See, I never neutron boosted before this trip, and tried it out after the landing at the Anchorage since it seemed safest incase I managed to get vaporised. But, what I didn't know was that the FSD took damage so quick! So, I got that and set back out, and never really caught up with everyone after that.
And so here I am, right on deadline, finally arriving at Beagle Point!
Thanks to everyone involved in organising this amazing expedition. I've learned so much about the game, made a bunch of friends, and had an experience to remember! Looking forward to DW3 one day, hopefully!
