Titan War Adjustment

Exactly. The Controls around Taranis are no easier to clear and still act as if the Titan is there and the distance to it still affects their difficulty, being harder to clear the closer they are. So what was the point of taking out Taranis if it doesn't weaken the systems left?
So the Alerts won't complete their cycle and turn into Controls or Invasions if the Titan is killed that week. Big deal, it's trivial. It's not the problem that needs solving.
I would argue that having the controls remain at their original strength is intentional because the Titan might not be reinforcing further losses in those systems… but the Thargoids in those systems haven’t gone anywhere either.
And unless it reactivates, what’s the issue exactly? Without generating alerts, those controls only remain relevant if you care to retake/clear human or uninhabited space. Otherwise, they’re basically ‘harmless’ until cleared out(which doesn’t appear to be a priority with seven more Titans acting as an immediate threat anyway).
(Genuine question btw, I’m not sure I really see the reasoning of why those controls are so important at the moment.)
It’s also possible those systems in turn will be abandoned when the Titan’s remains are. Unless of course Frontier are going to throw one of those plot twists at us.
Well two of them were populated so it would be nice to give them back to humanity. Plus some people might not want the remnants hanging around in case they start growing again.
Meanwhile if clearing Titans doesn't weaken the systems around them and clearing the systems around the Titan does nothing to make it weaker, then the point is what exactly?

I mean, is not having those controls generating any alerts at all not enough for a start? They didn’t place any on Thursday (last week), so it seems like they’ll just be sitting there looking angry until someone removes them(or the Thargoids just leave). Whichever happens first.
Though, admittedly, it does puzzle me a little they remain when the Titan is supposedly gone. Nothing should really still be keeping those Thargoids there when they could (should?) be heading off to one of the others.
No because that is the least we should expect.
If they aren't expanding they can be dealt with as forces become available. Prioritizing targets has been a running theme since Taranis arrived.
It seems to me a good but incomplete decision.
Let me explain: If the invasion started with the arrival of the Titans and their invading forces. What sense does it make that the systems that were controlled by Taranis are still under Thargoid control? It makes sense that the Thargoids, having lost their base of operations, would abandon those systems.
My point of view is that without Titan there is no invasion. For it began with the arrival of these Mother Ships. Which are the base and the beginning of the conquest.

Because military units do not abandon their positions without a specific order.
Also, you're talking about a species that can traverse hyperspace like we do realspace/supercruise. The survivors of Titan Taranis may simply be going to their nearest Titan for their needs, then returning to their positions in the systems formerly owned by Taranis
Oh contraire mon frere...
I need Help Frontier Team, since Saturday Launcher update I'm unable to login it gives me EliteDangerous64.exe error and that it cannot continue from.
I updated the launcher to the new version but when it gets to the planet generator system it stays at zero and crashes, help please
Excellent! That will be huge in regards to the process of reclaiming systems threatened by the goids. o7 Frontier team!
Words to live by. Now take the next logical step and make controlled systems next to the dead titan easier to retake.
Already controlled systems could contain enough resources to rebuild a downed titan tho...
We should first determine just how much damage the explosion caused to it. Or if it left enough to really rebuild/repair one from.
(The spire in HIP 25654 apparently reactivated following the Titan’s destruction, as opposed to the one in Trianguli Sector BA-A d85… I’m questioning what the exact reason is. Either it’s number of controls, or it was a U18 bug that the mini-maintenance fixed somehow without aiming to, but without re-enabling other functionalities that should come with an active spire site.)
It appears Frontier are in a hurry to clear the Thargoids up.
- The Thargoids had control of HIP 25654 before losing Taranis, so get that one back but not the other
- They need a week in control of the system to reactivate the spire, so HIP 25654 has had that, but Trianguli won't have until tomorrow
EDIT: no, they took them in the other order, didn't they.
