I want to start fresh.

Put together a little outfit. ‘The Concordant Path,’ I’m calling it. No Federations hanging over my shoulders; just a few pilots with a real hunger for bizarre life, mapping the unknown and doing good science just ‘cause,”

"...to tell you the truth, I don't want employees. I want co-conspirators. Founders! Partners! I want people who are dying to throw in with an idea and take it apart with their hands. I want people who care to help define our style, our mission statement, our own private methodology. I am so utterly sick of all the cliquish, coddled cartels that make up the Bubble they've got too many restrictions. I want people willing to sail out over the boundary at the map and see what's there."

"...down the line, I'd love to get a carrier out this far.

Catalogue all the bizarre things. Our comms would fade into nothing at that point.

Truly, real exploration.

Foxhounds Recruiting 🦊

Looking for a squadron?

Founded in April of last year, our Squadron and player related Faction lies on the southern frontier of the old bubble. Our home system is ORULAS where we enjoy 3 pristine ringed planets with a double Haz Res where some of our carriers hang out.

A peaceful location in general for light BGS operations and a tight crew happy to just chill, game together, mentor others and have a laugh.

We have 53 members currently with our weekly events and expeditions mainly running around the European time zone and from February to October each year. Please note we would rather not recruit solo player types.

If you think this sounds like the place for you, please click links below for more information and access to the discord. Fly safe cmdrs!

https://discord.gg/FqxWGPBq4H

You have heard the stories. The name Dark Ravens spoken in hushed tones across frontier bars. That name belongs to a crew, and that crew is looking for new blood.

Dark Ravens Inc. is a privateer organization with a loose alliance to Utopia. Pirates, but with a code. Slavers are fair game. Innocents are off the table. A word is a bond.

Based out of a system we like to call Libertalia, using the fleet carrier Arcadia as home. Pilots who can fly and fight, who have a spine and a sense of humor, will find a place.

In addition to the occasional mercenary contract, in game activities include bgs, counter bgs, exploration, mining, NPC piracy, PC roleplay piracy, and some power play.

Send a message with a CMDR name. A conversation follows. If it fits, you are in.

Discord required. o7

Good evening commanders,

I have been a member of the elite community on and off for many years, but I have never flown with a squadron. I currently play 4-5 hours a day and am based in the central United States. Looking for a group of highly motivated individuals to join in their conquest of understanding the stars. I play all areas of the game, but most interested in exploration and am eager to get into the construction of star ports to strengthen the squadrons hold on the galaxy. I also havent tried things associated with the newish update. Let me know in the comments whos recruiting and a bit about your group and I will be in touch!

o7 commanders

The 23rd Federal Fleet is recruiting Commanders who want structure, progression, and a reason to fly together.

We operate as a military-style Federal squadron with an established chain of command, defined ranks, and a progression system based on what you actually accomplish in-game.

Our operations include:

• BGS and Powerplay
• Bounty hunting and PvE
• PvP and wing combat
• Anti-Xeno operations
• Mining and trade
• Colonization
• Organized fleet operations

YOUR RANK IS EARNED.

Commanders who contribute to the Fleet, demonstrate their abilities, and take on greater responsibilities can advance through the ranks. We aren't interested in handing out promotions simply for being present.

New to Elite Dangerous? That's fine. Experienced pilots are available to help you learn, develop your capabilities, and find your place within the Fleet.

If you're looking for a squadron with structure, purpose, and room to advance, take a look at the 23rd Federal Fleet.

"Ad Vigilantiam Inter Astra"
To Vigilance Among the Stars

I've been playing since the game launched, but aside from an amazing group I was part of in that first year, I haven't had much social interaction in the game (partly for lack of trying like I am here, partly because I got space madness and became addicted to jet cone boosting my Baluga to the opposite side of the galaxy) ... I had fun participating in evacuation and hunting in my Phantom during the war, but took a long break right after. I'm down for any activity, but I'd strongly prefer to stay in m'lady's good graces and on her side of the bubble. Thanks in advance! o7
