Why Erimus and I support SEPP for the Dangerous Games (and why DWE and explorers should, even if they hate PP)

I am retired explorer (for the time being), but if I happen to be near ED I will definitely support you guys when the time comes.
 
Sorry typo - July! Just when I will have settled down with my CV1 and 1070 (God willing)

This should paste them to my face
Good luck with your collection of letters and numbers :)

Unfortunately, I have been feeling the first signs of explorer blues. Which probably means that in a couple of weeks the cba to login feeling sets in. And apart from surface textures and prettier roid rings, 2.1 doesn't seem to have the appeal to keep me interested in finding new stuff.

So, seems I better start heading home and look for a place to hibernate :)

I too am feeling the first sign of explorer blues. I wasn't a seasoned explorer in the first place when I took off after all of you (lovable) DW idiots, so it was just a very impulsive act of my own brand of idiocy that found me wandering alone and confused on the far side of the fried egg. Now I'm feeling like I'm ready to come in out of the cold for a while.

Seriously, it HAS been quite an experience. I'm glad I followed you guys.
 
Shame the Crab Nebula Expedition clashes with this :(
I am still doing SEPP, only just mind(like the EU referendum!) :D
 
I have decided to support this initiative.

I will support this initiative by sitting on my exploration data collected during past five months (a much smaller bundle of data than one would imagine) and hopefully remember to log into Elite weekly during July (that's when the CGs for this are, right?) and hoping one of the CGs will be an exploration data one.

Other than that, I am sorry but I will be completely addicted to Hearts of Iron IV and I see little chance of me grinding some silly Elite missions for a CG, no matter how noble one.

good idea kalpa. I might just dock at Jaques and wait for the SEPP CG to kick start, then decide to sell at Jaques & self-destruct(quick route back to bubble) to help SEPP immediately, or come back and sell at SEPP CG (depending what the CG requirements are)

As a side note, if you fellows manage to convince DWE players to hold off the sales of their exploration data for a few months in support of SEPP, SEPP should easily get maximum points out of a possible exploration CG :)

Of course it's possible there will be no exploration CG in the games. (It could be likely even; arguably some party could gain an unfair advantage by anticipating one and collecting massive amounts of exploration data beforehand... not unlike the timing of DWE return and Hunger Games start :p)

Okay but wait, it you dock at Jacques out at BP to sell your data, and then self destruct, won’t you appear back at Jacques, who is still sitting at BP? Don’t you respawn at the last station you docked at after death?

:S


I just sold all of my DWE data this weekend, I just couldn’t stomach sitting on all of that work just for the off chance we do get an exploration CG to help out SEPP. If we do get an exploration CG then I’ll just jonk my tail off to help out as much as I can. But at least now I can help with other CG’s too for SEPP and not risk losing all of my DWE data, because that would stress me out way too much!

There's no way I'm self-destructing... got an Anaconda with an A7 fuel scoop on it. A rebuy would cost me a fortune.

I'll be bucky-balling back once the novelty of a station has worn off.

Yep to both

That is a fine idea - the simple fact is: explorers have more stamina to long jonking runs than the bubble crowd. We can gather large amounts of data in a short time and not be fussed, plus we know where to go to get to new systems quickly.

I'm going to rename non-explorers to bubble-babies from now on. :D

I would love the Explorer CG (If it happens) to be Credit value based (ie hopefully spending time doing the work is valued)... rather than just honk and scoot!
