Popular PS4 Squadrons

Last time I tried to use the Squadron search feature built into the game, it didn't work. I'm more interested in being part of an active Squadron than I am a player group (though I understand these can overlap), so maybe we can use this thread to promote popular, active Squadrons on PS4.

I'm personally interested in joining two Squadrons right now (I know I can only be in one at a time). I want to join a Squadron focused on Exploration, but where members have the freedom to explorer wherever they want. The idea is that we are just a bunch of explorers who gather together to share our stories at the local "pub", rather than something overly regimented like DW2.

The other Squadron I'm interested in is an "Earth Defense" Squadron, particularly in regards to the recent Thargoid incursion deep towards the center of the Bubble. Again, I want my autonomy, but it's also nice to be part of a "team".

Speaking of team, I'm currently limited to Solo play due to bandwidth constraints, so I'm not looking to wing up. Exploration is mostly a solitary venture, and Thargoids incursions are basically BGS gameplay, so I can contribute to both even in Solo.

Once you start posting your Squadrons, how on earth do I join? Like I said, the search feature in the game seems to be broken. Is there a way to join by entering in the ID somewhere?


ps - I own a Squadron called True Explorers [TREX], but it only has two people, LOL, and I never expected anything else (I currently use it to share bookmarks between my main and alt CMDR).

Applied to join 2 different Squadrons for the same reason a few weeks ago & still not accepted. Maybe the system is still broken.

Yeah I've heard the squadron leader of DW2 is a right power-hungry fascist! :eek:

Although all the members seem cool, you could always join us and see how it goes?


The only other squadron i'm interested in joining (post-DW2) is the Fuel Rats, who are likely to be very chilled, and spend a lot of downtime shooting the breeze between clients.
 
You can always join me and the Wolves. We are so large that we have anti-xeno and exploration arms. (Though our PS4 squadron only has 36 people). But most of our community congregates on discord or Inara. The large cross platform group should make solo feel less lonely.

Come say hi on Facebook or discord and see if you are interested. There is a google form to fill in these days, but I am one of the in game squadron’s admins. So I can accept applications in game.

Ps anyone else who is having trouble joining other squadrons you are all welcome. Click the web link below for details.

PPS, I’m sure Jenny is welcome too.

I would of said join the Misfit's of Science and Research, but seeing as I left due to differences of opinion (also they butchered the squadron name.) I honestly wouldn't. So if you want a relaxed squadron go with the Wolves of Jonai, plus they love palladium lol

It would be weird to join a Squadron focused on a specific event that I have no part in.

I'm interested in joining a Squadron which uses in-game tools as their primary form of communication. I'm not a fan of Discord or Inara, and Facebook is literally blocked (by choice) by my firewall :p

We are a package deal, at least when it comes to exploration :D

I shall avenge you!

Finally got accepted to a Squadron called Explorers League. :)

That sounds intriguing - how many members and how active is it?

7 Members (Mostly elite rank) and they managed to get 60th on the exploration leaderboard last season with that low number which is insane. I just joined so i'll see how it works out and if they're still active even though I was accepted right away.

I do post updates in game. We do use the squadron chat but it’s just another channel in the comms panel so the posts are gone when you logout. We do have a PS community wall. My point was that we use ALL the tools. Some members choose to use none. :)
 
would love to join racetrack, but I am with dw2 at moment then afterwards I am staying freelance for awhile. but may change my mind in the future lol

Speaking of leader boards, would someone post a link to those for PS4? That's another good way to get a list of Squadrons. Speaking of, it sure would be nice if the in-game tools actually worked! But I'll spare you all another rant about how buggy this game is.

Once I have a Squadron ID, how do I "enter" it to actually request membership? When I created my own Squadron [TREX], I believe I just sent an invite to Alt Jenny.

Not sure what you mean?

To join a squadron, go to right panel, squadrons, and search. It works on the full squadron name, not the ID.
So for the Distant Worlds squadron, searching for "DW02" doesn't work, you need to enter "Distant".

Then after an officer accepts you, your ID tag appears automatically under you CMDR name when someone looks at you.
