If you are first logging in, set your spawn to Area18 and follow step 2. Otherwise, quantum travel from your current location to Area18 on ArcCorp, land at Riker Memorial Spaceport, and follow step 3.
If you set your spawn at Area18, make your way from your hab to the shuttles that take you to the Riker Memorial Spaceport. There, you will follow the red Drake DefenseCon branded signs until you arrive at the DefenseCon lobby.
If you quantum traveled to Area18, land your ship at Riker Memorial Spaceport. Upon exiting the elevators from the hangar, you should immediately see the red DefenseCon branded signs directing you to the nearby Drake DefenseCon lobby.
