Hi Guys,
Tuesday is Wing evening! Meet up at a Guest City at 19:30 GMT and we'll form Wings to suit the numbers, hit a RES field and kill some criminals.
Any ship welcome, and rank, just be prepared to try and avoid dying! (not that difficult!).
Anyone not in the dMw group yet can get them approval before we venture out.
Cheers,
Bert

Sorry. About 8kly out and going further. So have fun.

We'll still be on when you arrive mate, just come on TS when you are ready and we'll tell you where to jump to and meet you at the nav beacon.
I've got some serious packing to get through tonight, but I will jump on if I'm able :)

Sorry I didn't manage to get on. I spent an hour trying to get my HOTAS to work and eventually had to admit defeat.
There's definitely a high chance that your bindings could have been lost to the ether since you last played as well. I suggest backing up the bindings folder, it'll save you pain and suffering in the future, same for Star Citizen.

We were at Guest City in Zeta Trianguli Australis. I saw you were online in game, but you didn't come on Teamspeak.
There was Sulky, Whitey, Albert, Tutonic, Myself, RogueTaylor, ^Jas^ and Oldbloke (think that's everyone?!) doing a bit of bounty-hunting in two Wings in a resource extraction site. A good time was had by all! Hopefully next time you'll join us on Teamspeak.
Popeye, It's pretty tricky to get you involved communicating over a forum. Come on Teamspeak, that way you can get involved rather than sit on the edge of our group. We had 2 wings going last night, if you were a long way out exploring then you don't see the group members but if you were in the vicinity then you should have seen at least 6 people.
Our policy is if you intend participating in the group you have to be on TS. Even if you just listen and give us text responses it's better than what you're doing right now.
Was a great session last night, really enjoyed myself so thanks very much. Shame you wasn't able to join us tho old bloke but hopefully next time we will see you in the sky's with us. First of sorry tut again I didn't meet to shoot you. It's was great to meet new people as well and Arthion thanks so much for answering all my questions and I learnt a lot from you like what I need to do next. Still not sure how to get rep up with Dmw but will find out soon hopefully :)
Thanks for leading us clueless noobs around for an evening, it was good fun.
Me & Arithon seriously cheesing it across 2000Ls to rescue Sulky from an ambush was a particular highlight. Sulky, you owe us both a pint :D
While buzzing around picking up bounties was a nice way to gain a few credits, it would be nice to have some long-term goals for our little organisation.
Ok. Well i am off exploring and won't be back for at least a month. I'm elite in combat and elite in exploring. If the policy is teamspeak then I will give it some thought to if i remain. I won't use it for talking and during the week I am unable to text at work.

The problems with creating longer-term goals is the organisation or alliance is non-existent in terms of the actual game. So for example, having a guild shipyard, or bank account, alliance goals and the likes are purely role play based and not part of the game. I'd have to ask for everyone to help create some challenges and goals that we can role play into the game, otherwise it's about trying to pick 2 or 3 aspects of the game and try and focus our efforts on achieving certain levels, ranks, power play rewards etc.
I'm open to suggestions because I agree we could do with more diversity.
It doesn't help that we have to all be in the same are of the galaxy. Setting days and times for meet ups helps people plan.
Fair enough Albert, you've pretty much answered my real question which is: what can we actually do within the current framework?
There are more involved team missions planned to come into the game such as this:
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=206559
The missions in Elite 1.4 are pretty much about doing stuff in space or delivery/ collection missions. In Elite 2.0 they will also involve doing stuff on planets from battle to search and recovery.
I'm hoping some sort of Wing based missions come into the game. Today to do the same mission as a wing we all have to pick up the exact same mission off the bulletin board at the same time. We complete the mission as a wing and come back and all get the reward. Again I'll point out, it's easy to get split up in space and picking up missions like this are a tricky thing to synchronize.
Other groups hold races: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=138772 which are fun looking but I haven't participated.
Generally Elite is a sandbox with an ongoing story and economy where you dream up your own RPG and overlay it onto the game with some imagination. Ain't no linear missions to see here, move along, move along.
Cheers Albert, that's good info.
I guess I'm looking for something similar to what EVE provided - fighting for influence & resources across systems vs real players, that's where the real fun lies for me.
yeah cheers for that, got jumped by 2 elite ships that bracketed me, so i couldnt run...was down to no sheilds and 7% hull when you 2 turned up, funny thing is it was in normal space and I wasnt carrying anything in my hold...
There won't ever be guilds in Elite (i.e. group owned resources and assets) it's something that Frontier (David Braben in particular) is dead-set against. There will be continuing expansion of player interaction, but no "be in our guild or get out" scenarios.
1.5 will introduce chained (multi-stage) missions.
Quote- Added new missions
- Don't die missions
- Don't get scanned missions
- Multi-stage missions
- Missions can be received in space
- Assassination variants
- Contact missions
- Unique cargo missions - you have to deliver what you are given
- Timed window missions
- Added new open space scenarios:
- Search and rescue scenarios
- Wrecked ships scenarios
- New deep space salvage scenarios
- Distress call scenarios
- Alliance vip escort
Frontier have announced the release date for 1.5 "Ships" and Horizons as December 15th.

I'm interested to know if Wings will be able to obtain these missions and work as a team to complete them.
I'm a bit frustrated by having to try and have all 4 people at a station pick up the same missions to work as a wing, especially since not all wing members can pick up the same missions due to rank differences.
Any advice of whether wings will have missions Arithon?
I'll give you a goal. If someone can find me a plot to cygni x-3 when i return i will buy 100 million in platinum and drop it for the wing to collect.

Not really. That was before. Now we have increased ftl and other things that make it accessible. But. I am on my way and it will get tagged.
