Say what you will, the man could dodge a shoe like no other.
Nice work on the system, all who helped. Guess I’ll mine till Thursday now!
We are winning, the tide has turned HIP 23716

Scaremongering: Given how well we've understood the UI up til now, do we think that is a bar that is full, or do we think this is a bar that needs 1 more tick?
When I was there the other day, someone called Funball18 posted this into the chat (I copied it simply because it was amusing):
---
on this episode of 'Docking Wars' we see brilliant ship design up to the challenge of hundreds of players trying to help war efforts in open play.
and well, It's not going well so far.

Also doesn't help that they sell the new shinies!
I'd laugh my behind off if everyone goes elsewhere and tomorrow morning it's at 90% again

HIP 23716 I think was picked pretty arbitrarily (got to go somewhere). HIP 20485 was picked because they wanted to test an Alert system this week and you have more options for activities in a populated one (of which there are only two this week, maybe they flipped a coin to decide)
As far as what we lose to the Thargoids this week - barring some miracle:
- all but two of the Alert systems are uninhabited, uncontested, and will go straight to Thargoid Control
- a few of the Invasion systems around various maelstroms are out of stations, not meaningfully contested, and will go to Thargoid Control (e.g. Ixbalan, HIP 19934, HIP 7819). Their status panel on the galaxy map gets a red background to make the point.
- pretty much anything within 15 LY of the three arrival points for #6 to #8 is going to get stomped, of course.
Without checking everywhere in full detail I'd expect them to gain about 80-120 systems
Keep pushing , that is intended design
You do not want a fraction of the percent off and your effort is void in Thursday morning .
Thanks for the update. Looks like I wasn't looking at GalMap properly. 80-120 is a lot but I think things will get easier over time. I'd expect a relative equilibrium eventually and I'm not sure if we'll ever trully push them back.
Looking at what the system has done now? Yes, that's a bar which needed one more tick.
This is what it looks like now, which is not ambiguous.
That's how it should be. so i was right with last white chevron must be gone and bar fully purple.Looking at what the system has done now? Yes, that's a bar which needed one more tick.

I note the formely green dot is now grey for Thargoid Controlled, or is that your GUI changing it?Looking at what the system has done now? Yes, that's a bar which needed one more tick.

It's good to see things change instantly and the actual recovery phase starting on the Thursday tick. At least we know now we don't have to wait until Thursday for the graphic to change.
Just to be clear, the CG numbers are regularly uploaded by ~50% of the goal participants, so not exactly a small sample. Of course, the percentage (to the overall player base) may and very likely is different for the Thargoid war, but I guess the percentage ratios between the star systems may still somehow fit.
We did it
Tomorrow at 4pm Bruce will say there has been a bug with the UI that's now been fixed
I don't have any UI customisations, looks like it greys out when it's not happening.
It'll be interesting to see how long the Post-Thargoid Recovery status will last and whether it has a weekly/fortnightly reset mechanic or will be like a CG.
