'A Grand Day Out'



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

​



Originator: DRX Command Team

Mission Type: Exploration

Codename: A Grand Day Out



our constitution is fluid, requiring that no CMDRs should have to change their playstyle, allegiance, or other affiliation. Neither does it matter if you're Xbox, PS4 or PC (and NO, the 'x' does NOT stand for Xbox!). As such, all expeditions will be open to be participated in at a CMDR's own pace, and in whichever game mode a CMDR chooses."

Saturday the 15th of July

very first

Dear all, I have recently joined the Command Team of, a player group that, so far, has mostly been based on Xbox but that is now looking to expand further by welcoming new PS4 commanders. The Wing Leader of DRX is CMDR Iconoclypse (who will not play on PS4); CMDR Dell Tarrant (whobe playing on PS4) is Deputy wing commander, while I will be coordinator of DRX activities on the PS4 side of things. CMDR JonTheGreat1982, whom you already know, is my deputy. DRX has a long-standing tradition of exploration, including the ongoing Spring Break mission DRX is an independent wing/player faction primarily dedicated to exploration and the organisation of community events (SRV races, CQC nights, odd screenshots competitions....and other assorted tomfooleries). Moreover, FDev willing, we will soon also have a home system to defend and expand! Do take a look at the official description in the Inara page linked above, at the one here , and also go see the wonderful faction "Trailer" here . The most important disclaimer is, to quote from the Inara page, that "Now, in order to kick off our Elite experience on PS4, we thought of organising a small-scale expedition outside the bubble, called. This will be tailor-made for first-time explorers (still) on relatively small ships, and we will visit beautiful landmarks in the Pleiades and towards the Witch Head and Orion nebulae, in order to showcase the wonders of the galaxy.The minimum recommended jump range (easily reachable even with a Sidewinder) is of 20lyrs/jump. Of course, an A-graded Fuel Scoop is mandatory, and an Advanced Discovery Scanner and an SRV Bay strongly recommended (the former to make money out the trip, the latter to allow surface exploration and a planned SRV race) but this is stuff that an average player will be able to afford relatively soon. A disclaimer though: the best jump range you can have with a Sidewinderan SRV bay is below 20lyrs/jump. To have an SRV would be nice, as it would allow you to explore planetary surfaces. To give you a rough idea, the easier/cheaper option for such an expedition would be an exploration-fitted Hauler for a total price of 2.7 million credits. This figure can be significantly lowered if equipping only an Intermediate Discovery Scanner, but then again this would also mean less profit when the time to sell the exploration data comes. Keep in mind that the whole itinerary with an ADS would very likely pay you2 million credits once back in the bubble. So you can come for the fun and the sights, and then go home a rich CMDR!Considering that D-Day is, as you well know, the 27th of June, and that most new players will need a couple of weeks to learn the basics and to earn some cash, we are planning to depart(about 18 days after launch - but I am open to the possibility of postponing it one week if people think it is too soon). This will actually be theplayer-organised event on PS4, so that's something to be proud of. If some of the Devs would like to take part, they will be welcome to.If you would like to take part to this exciting mission,It ismandatory to join DRX in order to participate to this expedition, as you can simply tag along. But of course, you will need to check the forums and/or the dedicated channel on the DRX Discord (explaining whether you are a new PS4 member or a guest who will just fly out with the expedition) to know where people are planning to be and how the expedition is progressing. If, on the other hand, you areinterested in joining DRX (and you are very much encouraged to do so, if you like exploration and a friendly environment), please register here
