Are we guessing what the next decals will look like? Exactly the same but with two, three, four, etc. stars, or something more creative? :unsure:

Greetings Commanders!

After a monumentally coordinated and dedicated offensive from Commanders all across the Milky Way, the Thargoid Titan Taranis was critically damaged to the point it could no longer maintain its systems, causing it to enter meltdown and beautifully explode into a blooming cloud of deadly caustic remains. So many pilots came together to undertake this colossal mission and no doubt the Thargoids of the other Titans are quaking in their chitinous booties. As you wait for the caustic cloud to dissipate so we can take a gander at what fresh juicy goodies lurk within, 7 Titans still remain a threat. Titan Leigong is humanity's probable next target, but it still needs a bit of weakening by reducing the number of systems it controls

Now that the fireworks have come to an end, we wanted to talk about that thing we know you are all excited to know more about...the rewards!

As the destruction of Taranis was such a major occasion and we know that some people couldn't contribute to the war effort as much as they would like due to some pesky (non-alien) bugs we are going to handle the rewards a little differently for this specific event. To celebrate the destruction of Taranis we will be giving the rewards to everyone who traveled to the system any time between the release of Update 18 through to the time until Taranis exploded. This way we can ensure that even if a pilot was affected by one of the issues which might have invalidated their contributions, they will receive the reward. These rewards of a ship kit and decal will be going live some time this Thursday.

This is a ONE OFF for the rewards though. In order to receive rewards from future Titan destruction you will need to have taken part by damaging the heat core.

For every Titan you are involved in defeating, you will receive an incrementally more prestigious ship kit with matching paintjob for different ships, and will receive an incrementing decal.

The first ship kit that pilots will receive on Thursday is the Alliance Chieftain bleached bone:

And the first decal you will receive is:

They will be added to your accounts on Thursday so keep an eye on our news channels for updates!

Thank you again to everyone who got involved in showing the angry crustaceans of doom that humanity wasn't going to sit there and let them attack our worlds. We look forward to watching you squash the next one!

Nice. I think you are missing a trick though. We all noticed the fleet carrier servers struggling with the demand and Inara showed around 9,500 peeps in the system that day so you should just casually mention just how many commanders were involved. I'd love to know and I suspect it was quite a few.

Nice! One question on "In order to receive rewards from future Titan destruction you will need to have taken part by damaging the heat core". Can we qualify for these future rewards by doing damage to the other Titan's cores at ANY time or is there is key moment when "the phone lines will be open" for each one? For example ... the last couple of days I travelled to the seven remaining Titans and did some damage to each exposed core (a small amount, but enough in each case to earn some combat bonds from it). Have I therefore now already qualified for all the future Titan rewards?

Thanks for igniting an interesting discussion on our side!

To be eligible for the incremental Titan rewards you will need to do the following:

1) Have done damage to the heat core of a Titan within one week prior to it going into meltdown.
2) You need to have earned a minimum of 2M credits from hitting the core (You earn less credits from the Titan when they still need weakening and have a high damage resistance)

Don't forget you also receive Arx from taking down hearts and gain more if you are a top contributor.

Perhaps not what we expected for 'on foot' Thargoid combat, but I will take what is given hahaha. Hoping the other parts of a Thargoid appear with the next ship kits. 3D animators to the ready room. Engage.

There will inevitably be people that miss the cutoff by a few credits or a few hours who will be pretty upset. Be ready.

Doesn't help that the game gives you no way to see your progress. Gotta do it by hand and make sure there's no Scout kills in your credit numbers. :p

I am assuming this was a fun internal discussion. Did you have to pull a few fingernails from the programmer responsible to get it out of them? Even though you updated the OP, I hope you're bracing for impact when all the complaints roll in.

As for the prerequisites: Honestly, that feels... right. One should make a substential contribution instead of cheesing it just to grab the cosemetics. But maybe that's just me.
