STEPHEN HAWKING MEMORIAL EVENT

Armholeeio · Mar 16, 2018

Right both Xbox and PS4 have a post created linked to this page so if any takers on the console versions will hopefully be directed to here. I'll also drop a link into the DRX discord they may swing by

Shalien · Mar 16, 2018

I will try to be there to honour a man who give us a new way to look at the Stars.

Are griefers welcome?

Hey, somebody had to ask.

(But seriously, good on ya and utmost respect for the late great Professor Hawking.)

Greetings from the Xbox dimension

sadly due to time zone issues I will be on the morning train on my way to work as this event kicks off.

i will have to concede to being their in spirit only as the ministry for war and finance has some particular views on me taking days off work for gaming, and now that she is back home my freedoms have been largely curtailed [smile]

Crank Larson · Mar 16, 2018

If I am able to play E: D again by then, I will join (damage to limbs is preventing play, currently!).

Mysturji · Mar 16, 2018

I wish I could be there, but work and all that IRL poop.

Bring lots of big guns and even bigger shields. You know it makes sense.

hermattila · Mar 16, 2018

Hi Guys just a wee update due i havent been @ Sol for 2 years now on.Starting point changed.First post.
Also got warned the route planner cant make it straight to Hawking Reach from Sol(im not too sure it is player fault or any other Things in the play now)However im really busy on the weekend so i cant confirm that.
Someone would be so kind to confirm that so we can make a route around it to get there.

LuxAeterna · Mar 17, 2018

Fu.....iddlesticks! I'll be at work...

RevCaoticFox · Mar 17, 2018

While I appreciate his scientific contributions, he chose to politicize himself by describing me as the lowest common denominator.

"He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator.”

Stephen Hawking on Trump supporters.

Can't really find much fault in that. Lowest common denominators are rather significant for what they are, good or bad. But unfortunately I don't have access to Sol anyway.

This Guinness is for you, Steve!

Is there a secondary backup location to meet at that isn't rank permit locked? I'll be there if there is!

I play as an independent pilot.

Might be a stupid question, but do you mean Hawking's Gap rather than Hawking's Reach?

If so you can visit the abandoned settlements while you're out there, that were part of Drew Wagar's Salome stuff.

Would be interesting to see what the terrain out there is like now.

You 'politicize' yourself by voting for Trump, and talking about it here. Big deal, people have and voice different opinions.

Bring it, tawny witness flack excremental extractors. Haven't lost a ship since 3301 and only five ships total, but wouldn't mind giving up the ghost here, naff nannies.

I assume not because he said it's 1,200LY from Sol and Hawking's Gap is a hell of a lot further than that.

By an odd coincidence although I'm not participating in OP's event I am actually on my way to Hawking's Gap - not as a tribute or anything, I set off the day before he died. If I remember I'll try to grab a screenie of one of the bases. I wasn't planning to visit any of them (I still have PTSD from flying round beige balls looking for them last time I was out there) but it's not going to be a major detour.

hermattila · Mar 18, 2018

Hi!You right it is not that.Hawking's Reach indeed a system.Exact distanc3 is 1325 ly.Alternative gathering point either join us at destination or along the route.
There are no designated stops till there so everyone can take the plot as it is fit for 'em apart from the Escort ships.
