Template:ExpeditionInfoBoxDistant Worlds II (DW2) is the sequel to Distant Worlds Expedition, the first major community expedition in Elite: Dangerous history. It was announced early on the 10th October 3303 and expected to be launched in the Q4 3304/Q1 3305

About the Distant Worlds II

Following the announcements for Elite: Dangerous Beyond at Frontier Expo2017, on the promise of "new space anomalies, planetary features, enhanced geology, improved tools to utilise, and fleet carriers.", Dr. Kaii, Erimus, and Qohen leth have made an early announcement for Distant Worlds II

the stated goal of the expedtion is:

  • We want to create an event that challenges its participants, like DWE 3302 did.
  • We want to create interesting basecamp meetups and events, that include all what the first expedition had, and more - specifically utilising whatever new discovery mechanics the new content requires.
  • We would like to reach the same scale as last time or beat it, and then take advantage of our large contingent in the hopes the expedition might discover some of the new and mysterious things FD have hinted at!
  • We have plans to bring back the Distant Worlds weekly newsletter that proved so popular last time around, and eventually have it again bound into a book as a memento.
  • Naturally DWE2 plan to work in conjunction with the Galactic Mapping Project to discover, catalogue, and name new POIs, spacial anomalies, and geological features.
  • The expedition will encourage and facilitate all the emergent gameplay that explorers are renowned for into joining and helping organise and oversee certain aspects of this mammoth endeavour; Fuel Rats, Rock Rats, The Repair & Tour Group, The Galactic Travel Agency, Surveyors, Galactic Mappers, Scouts, and even squadrons that will hopefully be able to utilise the new fleet carriers.
  • We will put together an experienced organisation team to help create a memorable event.
