The Thargoid War: System States Clarifications

it's a 10% 5% increase in 12 hours in a Thursday following a community "i give up" tantrum
i'd say it shows promising progress

not really a tantrum, just a feeling of sadness, because for once the game was engaging again spirits were high, and then... well not so much and to what end?
 
Edit: I'd like to say that there have been some changes to the values that seem to have made progress slightly less impossible to make. In that light, I retract my previous statement, although I am still definitely NOT a fan of the reset mechanism. That aspect still sucks.

So we've fought for one week and lost a battle, now we've lost Farkas Oasis and the battle has moved onto Wakata Station. We get another chance to defend the system this week. Is this really a reason to throw the toys out of the pram?
For my own part, I'll keep playing the game as normal since I'm an independent pilot and it's giving me new types of gameplay as well as the ability to hone some flight and combat skills against Interceptors. And I still meet up with the lads in Discord and chat and fly in wings while doing it.

However I can completely understand that the way Frontier designed this hard reset, combined with poor way it was communicated (or rather, not communicated at all until yesterday) on "this is how it'll be" would demoralise and frustrate the players and groups who were coordinating their efforts. Because while that's not personally my thing, I understand that it's theirs.
 
can you do more this week? do you feel like other will do more?
I don't know. I feel that we are supposed to lose badly for some time.. Or they have already tweaked the numbers and we have a chance again this week. But that all sounds very white knighty to say.. I guess those of us that stay playing will find out and the rest of you can read about it or maybe watch some twitch and youtube :)
 
without context it means nothing.. i need fdev to state they have rebalanced and how,
The fact this system is already on its 3rd bar, when it didn't move for at least two or three days after Update 14, definitely shows it's been adjusted.

Also, the Galnet article today basically said as much:

“The one advantage given to us by the arrival of further Maelstroms is the potential that Thargoid forces will be distributed more evenly across systems. With an expanded front line, defensive efforts may gain additional traction when defending or recapturing systems from the aliens.”
 
They clearly don't have much data to go off of when trying to decide how exactly to help simulat an ingame war to this level. So its a new experience for everyone and will include some trial and error. Cut them some slack and just enjoy the game, if time goes by and its not addressed whatsoever, then you can express your frustration. Until then just relax a bit, some people on here make me feel like I'm playing fortnite with my son and his 9-10 year old friends... People going on strike and everything, i don't know if half of these people are joking or serious haha
