GETTING TO DRAKE DEFENSECONThis year’s DefenseCon is held at Riker Memorial Spaceport in the city of Area18, ArcCorp. For two days, experience a complete Drake-over and see what the ‘verse’s most infamous shipmaker has to offer.
If you're first logging in, set your spawn to Area18. Otherwise, quantum travel to Area18 on ArcCorp and land at Riker Memorial Spaceport.
If you set your spawn at Area18, leave the hab and take a shuttle toward Riker Memorial Spaceport. If you’re flying in, land at the spaceport and leave your hangar.
In the spaceport, just follow the red Drake DefenseCon signs to the lobby and enter the event.
