68.119.118.112: /* Wingman Nav-Lock */

[[File:Wing-Ships-Elite-Dangerous.png|thumb|300px|Wing of ships]]

'''Wings''' allows pilots and NPCs to fly together in groups with maximum of four [[ships]]. Wings allows for multiple benefits for multiple roles. [[Trader]]s can be escorted by their wing pilots for extra security, the escorts will get a 5% income of the trader's profit from the [[Station]] as a gratitude of allowing trade to continue in their system.

Wing members can lock onto each other to follow each other's hyperspace routes. If you follow the wake of a wing member, you get pulled out of supercruise automatically.

[[Wing Missions|Wing missions]] can be shared among all members.

==Joining and Leaving==

[[File:Ships-Wing-Sideview.png|thumb|250px|Sideview of ships in a Wing]]

You use the updated Comms Panel to join and leave wings:

===Inviting===
To start a wing, select a Commander from the Comms Contacts tab in the Comms panel and choose "Invite to Wing."

You'll see the contact listed under a new, "Wing Requests" heading.

Once the Commander accepts the invitation, a wing is formed. All wingmen contacts will be listed under a "Wings" heading.

All wingmen may issue invites until the wing is full (contains four Commanders).

===Accepting===
When a Commander invites you to join a wing, a notification marker will appear next to your Inbox tab.

Navigate to your Inbox tab in the Comms Panel to view the invitation.

Highlight and select the TICK/CHECKMARK to accept the invitation.

Highlight and select the CROSS/X to decline the invitation.

===Leaving===
To leave a wing, select the Options entry under the "Wings" heading from the Comms Contacts tab and choose "Leave Wing."

You can leave a wing at any time. However, if you leave a wing there is a cool down before you can join or start a new wing.

==Interface==
[[File:Wings.jpg|thumb|250px|A group of four pilots in a Wing]]

Replacing the ship warning lights HUD bar is the wings interface. The warning lights are relocated to the top of the Info Panel.

Each wingman in your wing will have a status element in the wings interface HUD.

This element displays several pieces of information:
* Wing Icon: each wingman has a ID icon used to identify them in the HUD
** Your own ID icon is displayed at the top left of your Comms Panel tab line
* Surrounding the ID icon is a set of concentric rings showing the wingman's ship shield status
** As the shields are depleted the rings fade away
* Below the shield status is a bar showing the wingman's ship hull status
** As the hull is damaged the bar is reduced
* Below the hull status is the wingman’s Commander name
* To the left of the Commander name is the Wingman's voice status
* Below the Commander name is the wingman's current target
** If the wingman is in a different system the system name is displayed here
When a wingman targets a vessel, their ID icon will appear next to the entity when you look at it.

All HUD elements connected with your wingmen are coloured cyan to help you spot them.

When a vessel is hostile to a wingman, it will display with purple HUD elements to inform you of the state.

When you target a vessel and perform a basic scan, the bottom left target info panel will display if the ship is in a wing and how many members the wing has.

==Features==

[[File:Wings icons.jpg|thumb|200px|Wings icons]]

There are several beneficial features that become active when you are in a wing:

===Wingman Targeting===
{| class="article-table"
!New Binding
!Default Binding
|-
|Select Wingman 1
|7
|-
|Select Wingman 2
|8
|-
|Select Wingman 3
|<span>9</span>
|-
|Select Wingman's Target
|0
|}

You can use new hotkey bindings to quickly target each wingman in your wing.

If you target a wingman you will target their wake if applicable.

If you target a wingman in a different system you will target their system.

If you have a wingman targeted, you can use the Select Wingman's Target binding.

In addition, all scans performed by wingmen are shared across the entire wing as long as they are present at the location.

=== Wingman Relaxed Requirements ===
When using wakes created by your wingmen, you can travel faster and be further away and still safely use them.

===Wingman Crime Exemption===
You cannot commit crimes against wingmen and no authorities will intervene as long as your actions do not affect other ships or structures.

Cargo can be freely transferred between wingmen who all count as its owner.

Crimes against non-wingmen remain personal. Other wingmen are not punished directly, though they may well commit crimes if they wish to help out.

===Wingman Nav-Lock===
You can slave your ship's frame shift drive to a wingman's vessel. Select a Commander from the Comms Contacts tab in the Comms panel who is listed under the "Wing" heading and choose "Engage Wingman Nav-Lock."

You will see a square marker appear on the wingman's status element in the wing interface.

When you are nav-locked, the following effects occur *automatically* if you are close enough to them.

When the nav-lock marker is cyan, you are within nav-lock range.

When the nav-lock marker is red, you are out of range.

*You will follow the wingman into and out of super cruise

**Standard requirements still apply (retracted hardpoints and gear, etc.)

*You will follow the wingman into a hyperspace jump

**Standard requirements still apply (retracted hardpoints and gear, capable FSD, fuel, etc.)

*You will follow the wingman's wakes

**Standard requirements still apply

Note, you can only slave your drive to a single wingman at a time, but you can change the nav-lock target freely.

To turn off the nav-lock, select the nav-locked Commander from the Comms Contacts tab in the Comms panel who is listed under the "Wing" heading and choose "Cancel Wingman Nav-Lock."

===Wingman Beacon Signal===
When in normal space, you can activate your ship's beacon signal, by navigating to the Functions tab, highlighting and selecting "Beacon."

Choose "Wing" to turn the beacon signal on.

Choose "Off" to turn the beacon signal off.

Whilst the beacon signal is on, any Commanders at super cruise in your system will see a signal contact on their sensors.

You can target and drop out at a signal contact to arrive at the wingman's location in normal space.

===Wingman Shared Bounties===
When attacking wanted vessels, every wingman that takes part in the fight, landing some hits on target, will no longer receive an equal "share", or equal split, of the bounty. As of Update 2.3, every wing-man receives a copy of the full bounty, as long as they are present when the vessel is destroyed.

===Wingman Trade Dividend===
{{Main|Trade Dividend}}
Trade Dividends are received when in a wing with someone makes a profitable trade, so long as you are also in the same star system. They are vouchers for a payment of [[credits]], awarded by starports to encourage the protection of [[trader]]s in the system.

They may be handed in at any starport in the system, via the Starport Services Menu → Contacts → Local Security Office.

All wingmen in the group get a 5% bonus of the commodity's profit being sold.

'''Formula:''' ''Profit Per Ton'' * ''Amount Sold'' * 0.05 = ''Trade Dividend''

===Wingman Shared Exploration===
When in the same system as your wingmen, exploration data is awarded for all wingmen present, allowing the entire wing to profit.

The first person to hand the data in is eligible for any bonus payment, but if the data constitutes a new discovery, all wingmen present in the system when the body was scanned will be listed as the discoverers.

'''Gan Romero''' is a starship technician who worked on hangar service teams at Fort Dixon, [[Vega]]. On April 25, 3305, he inexplicably stole a [[Diamondback Explorer]] owned by Commander Bjorn Lennox from its hangar. Authorities have yet to discover how Romero breached the ship, launched it, and quietly departed Fort Dixon without authorization, or why the previously law-abiding technician committed the theft and left behind his family.

==Timeline==
03 MAY 3305
*The individual responsible for stealing a docked Diamondback Explorer in the Vega system has been identified. Fort Dixon Security Chief, Misaki Sanders, told the media: "We have determined that Commander Bjorn Lennox's vessel was stolen by a starship technician, who evidently acted alone without backup. The technician, Gan Romero, has worked at Fort Dixon as a member of the hanger service teams for the past eleven years. He has a stable home life on the station with a wife and three children, with no criminal record. Although Romero's job gave him access to landing pads, it does not explain his ability to bypass ship security protocols or launch without authorisation. We have yet to determine his motive or destination. The scope of our investigation is widening and we hope to know more soon."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cc9681a2e7196748044dc8d GalNet: Docked Ship Thief Identified]</ref>
25 APR 3305
*An independent pilot’s ship has been stolen from a starport hangar in the Vega system. The ship's owner, Commander Bjorn Lennox, told Vox Galactica: "I'd docked my Diamondback Explorer at Fort Dixon for some routine maintenance, and to enjoy a short break following a deep space exploration voyage. When I went back to the landing pad I discovered the hangar was empty and my ship had gone missing!" The starport issued a statement from Security Chief Misaki Sanders: "We are at a loss to explain how the thief managed to hijack our security network, gain entry to a docked and sealed ship, and override authorisation checks to fly out of the station unchallenged. Nearby systems have been alerted and we are collecting leads to track down the stolen vessel. In the meantime, we are conducting an inquiry into how these breaches of docking bay protocols could have occurred."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cc170e792262d47a27c4964 GalNet: Ship Stolen from Starport]</ref>
11 MAY 3305
* Mystery continues to surround Gan Romero, the starship technician who single-handedly stole a docked vessel in the Vega system. Romero’s wife, Lara, agreed to an interview with Vox Galactica: “I haven’t the faintest idea why Gan took that ship, or how he managed it. It’s totally out of character for him. He’s not impulsive or even ambitious really. Always been the practical type, which is why I married him. I can’t believe that he would do anything like this. Had he been acting strangely? Well, something was on Gan’s mind…I guess you could say he’s been distracted recently. I’ve caught him staring out into space a few times. And his sleep was disturbed by intense dreams, although he never wanted to talk about them. The kids keep asking when their dad is coming home. I just hope the Fort Dixon security services can find some explanation for all this, and bring Gan home to us.”<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cd550122c286e427e293f2f GalNet: Ship Theft Mystery Deepens]</ref>

Military Grade Composite

2015-03-31T16:37:20Z

68.119.83.96: /* Known Locations */

[[File:Ss_(2014-12-16_at_11.39.21).jpg|thumb|311px|Military Grade Composite]]
{{quote|Hardened structure and compounds offering superior protection against all types of attack.|In-Game Description}}

Military Grade Composite is a reinforcement material for the ship's hull. It is designed to give better protection than [[Lightweight Alloys]] and [[Reinforced Alloys]] against all projectile and energy weapons. This is not a specialized composite in the way that [[Mirrored Surface Composite]] and [[Reactive Surface Composite]] are. Military Grade Composite offers the best all-round protection of any reinforcement material.

==Specifications==
As with all armor the price and weight of Military Grade scales with the size of the ship. It is almost always twice the price and weight of Reinforced Alloys.
