In 3302, the Elite: Dangerous community undertook its first major expedition—Distant Worlds. Together with the help of a great many volunteers, CMDR Erimus and CMDR Dr. Kaii were able to synchronize over a thousand ships and launch a voyage that would change the game’s community forever. Now, in 3305, a follow-up called Distant Worlds II is being planned. Set to launch on the 13th of January, this expedition boasts over 5,000 sign-ups and requires far greater fleet logistics than its predecessor. The 20 week outbound trip to Beagle Point will take thousands of commanders 65,000ly away from Sol in hopes of, among other things, constructing a Starport in Sagittarius A*. With the sheer number of commanders and Frontier’s official support, there’s no reason to believe that DW2 won’t be the game’s most memorable journey to date.
