I recently got the full game of ED on Xbox One and can't figure out how to meet up with a friend.
We have both tried travelling to the same station, star, and general space coordinates, and we can't see each other. We are able to form a Wing and our icons appear on each others HUDS, but there's no option I can find to "lock destination" on a friend, plot course, etc.
Are there any in-game mechanics I'm missing? Or any workarounds that people have figured out? It seems like we are on different instances, but then why would we be able to form a wing?

Instancing might be different on Xbox than PC. I think there may be things around "servers" that might make it harder to join up with your friend on Xbox.
Things that have helped on a PC:
Note: tricks for making sure you both appear in the same instance can also reduce the odds of other players appearing. If you're winging up for PvP you might want to start out in different systems until you find somebody to engage with.
