Distant Worlds 2

  • Newsletter 4
  • Departure from Polo Harbour marks the end of Stage 1.

    Stage 2: Building the Galactic Core Starport and discovering secrets at the heart of the galaxy.
    Stage 2 will offer new challenges as we begin to leave the last human outposts far behind, in addition some of the optional points of interest along the Stage 2 route may be in locations requiring large jump ranges, and/or the use of neutron boosts if you want to visit them!

    The main goal of this stage though will be to complete the 2nd phase of the community goal at the very heart of the galaxy when we arrive at WP7 in a couple of weeks time. After which the fleet will continue to explore the core, and gradually make its way out toward the far side.

    Fleet attrition will most likely begin to bite during this stage, as was the case with DW1, many commanders see Sagittarius A as an adequate goal in which to call it a day – and this is perfectly fine – DW2 will be no different!

Main Discussion

Community Corner

  • Operation IDA – congratulations for completing Cleaver Prospect. They have now targeted the noob hammer Station of Cavalieri in the Electra system. (for the second time)
  • Battlecards News. Nothing has happened as far as the opposing party. However, the good news is that there has been movement on the Kickstarter Front, who are looking seriously at this matter now. Hopefully Good News  Soon(™)

      • Message from Bomba Luigi who is the trapped Cmdr “Shoutout of course to everybody from the Thunderbirds Rescue Team, it was those guys who somehow mangaed to get me out of the Canyon despite the fact that it was pretty much impossible! I would have been doomed to die on my own.
        The Plan now is to write a big SOS Message on the Planet, to do so we climbed the big Wall to make the message as high up as possible on the Planet so its easier to see! Once I have a Pic of the SOS I finaly contact support to see what they can do.”Screenshots
