The Fatherhood: Lost Souls Expedition 3

Last weekend saw the final meetup ahead of travelling back to The Bubble for all taking part in Lost Souls Expedition 3.Expedition progress is now at 72.8% and nearing completion after kicking off on April the 1st this year.

To quote Commander Randalph Roddleton, “With 373 CMDRs and 33 FCs registered, Lost Souls 3 sits in the top 15 expeditions of all time”.

To read more on this incredible journey, head over to the official Fatherhood Wing site over at thefatherhoodwing.space/lost-souls/ where you’ll find documented journals from each waypoint, the official trip planner, fleet roster and more.

It’s been a pleasure to follow along.

The Fatherhood Squadron now sits at 5000+ members. We’re really proud to have them a part of our Elite Dangerous Galaxy.

A familiar presence in the Elite Dangerous Galaxy, for sure. We’re once again blown away by this latest episode of Commander Exorcist’s continued journey, documented as part of their ‘Out There’ YouTube series.

Episode 21 is no exception to the beauty they capture as the series continues. You can enjoy it here.

 

Hutton Orbital Radio presents '2HOT2MESSY' THIS WEEK | August 4th!

The Hutton Orbital Truckers are finding themselves, yet again, in a 'Hot Mess' following a huge celebration of efforts in their previous endeavors, whereby there was one mission set to rule all missions - Deliver one Hutton Mug to every single station.

The original MESS took 90 days to deliver mugs to 50,000 stations. Now there are over 130,000 commodity markets. The Galaxy's biggest Trucking effort needs YOU and your squadrons. Can this feat be achieved in time for Christmas?

For your efforts, Hutton Orbital Radio will be giving away one official, literal Hutton Mug a week from August the 4th until this mission is complete.
For all information on how to get involved, head to this post on the official Elite Dangerous Forums.

Once again, Commanders, thank you so much for sharing such wonderful memories with us over the past week and we're really looking forward to the week ahead with you all.

Fly safe.

See you in the black o7
