After shooting 3 haulers on the raid mission, our friendly Badger pilot needs to turn in loot to the NPC freighter. This is an ideal moment to link in fleetchat the next destination and have everybody align pre-aligning to the “exit” gate to prepare for initiating the fleet warp. Doing this can help prevent premature warp-outs. | ||
