Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Hi all, maybe it's my imagination, but ever since the switch to Mobius PVE, space seems empty.
I was used to seeing quite a few 'friends' and hollow boxes, now, I see two "friends", and no hollow boxes.
I'm a N.A. guy, so I understand why I was switched, but the 'PVE' group seems empty.

Same here, I am in Canada and play mainly at night ( 9PM to 11 PM Every night if possible) and since the change haven't seen anyone. Feel free to add me Cmdr Bailablestone12. I am located in Kamocan but tonight I will be moving to Beta Hydri to help with the federal fleet expansion community Goal.

if you play during the Eu timezone then hop into the Mobius group, US timezone is Mobius pve,
the two groups are pretty much equal in size of the one group back in September.

I play various times and always see same amount. (Due to shift work)
And in worlidge terminal i have to dodge a lot of cutters and ships. So i dont see much

Does this require a new in-game request?

to join the other then yeah.

I was wondering what that was about. I've been away for a bit and noticed the chane and the derth of players. Do I just put-in a new request for the second group or does it need to be approved by someone first?

I don't like the breakup but it was not our choice.
sadly my sidewinder to combat viper III mentor CMDR IMO is in the EU branch and I am in the NA .....
Also,
I assume you have to be in the same private group and instance to wing up?

@ AJStoner - you need to apply for the other group as you did before, but if you are switching groups can you leave the other group, if we have Commanders in both groups it defeats the object of having the two groups.

@ OLd_Sarg - yes you need to be in the same group to wing up, but of course you can form your own group to wing up (it only takes a few seconds to create a group), then you can wing up when you want, and play in the wider group when you're not winged up

It could just be that it's Spring in the northern hemisphere and there are actually people who like to go outside and not sit in front of their computer.

I've been on DWE this whole time so I really haven't noticed anything yet.
