Elite Dangerous | Titan Indra Vulnerable & Thargoid War Changes

(Nothing to complain about with the other changes, but maybe the Titans will want to unveil some other tricks if they actually don't want to be reduced to heaps of scrap.)

Honestly, I'm hoping the remaining four three titans will nope the frak out of the Bubble after Indra falls.

No bonds are earned again - the bug is back?
I went to get my 2M of contribution already done in case I don't make it tomorrow/weekend - after 1 hour the combat bonds stayed at the same number, relogged and it's still the same old value, went to station - same value there too...
I started with 2.5M, earned around 2.4M from shooting Titan core and it stayed at 2.5M.

Edit: no combat bond events in the journal at all

No issue for me in Solo. This is before (monday) and after (just now). Bonds adding up just fine.

*Three. But I don't think they'll be leaving, or at least not soon(ish). If it is just from Frontier committing to this change, but they did also promise (or something in that direction) 8 Titan decals/ship kits for 8 killed Titans...

Also, not entirely related to this reply, but would it be possible to have it looked at why AX reactivations in Thargoid-controlled territory are no longer generating since a few updates?

It doesn't. But completing missions does so it's a shame there aren't any.
My translator wrote two of your opposing remarks.
1. it is not.
2. Doing missions helps.

And most importantly you just need to understand why they removed THIS, then it will be immediately clear so that there is not too much progress on one port !

Your statement was about money.

Money does not make war progress. Completing missions does.

And you need to understand what context means, it is not simply the literal translation of words. They have removed nothing because active Ports in Controls did not exist until now. That's not removing anything, it's adding something. Leaving out missions is not a removal either, it's an omission. Nor does no missions now mean they could not be added later.

I actually wondered if the fact we will be getting active ports in Counterstrikes now is as a result of all the reactivations, and that's why they're gone. It's a random thought though, I still really think they are just bugged and not appearing.
 
I didn't get Bonds either. I'll play in solo and see if I get any. (After Servers come back online)
Same..

Got the message the first time. Nothing in the left panel tho.
Then I got kicked out by the game. So far I can not get in again.

Do you happen to know what time you were playing when you should have been earning bonds? (Please specify your timezone)
 
I don't think it's 2 million. I got the decal reward for a much lower contribution (less than 1 million) for the last titan.
It is 2 million. But the Titan heart was very buggy in Open/PG that Frontier decided to simply hand out the rewards to anyone who's been in the system for the first couple of Titans.

Yeah, I think it's a bug, too, rather than any kind of lore thing. Because it wasn't announced in any way, and I'm pretty sure that, unless those Counterstrike port CZs will only appear in systems which have military Odyssey settlements (which I doubt), well... simply, I doubt the two are tied together. Particularly since 18.02(?) made them disappear and these Counterstrike port CZs only appear now.
 
  • Counterstrike Port AXCZs
    • Following your feedback, we are enabling an option for port Anti-Xeno Combat Zones to play an offensive role against the Thargoids:
      • In previously populated counterstrike systems, one port will reactivate and will have an AXCZ available
        • This port will have repair/rearm available, but will not offer missions
        • Planetary ports will be favored. If no suitable planetary ports are available, a space based port will reactivate instead
      • These systems can be identified on the Galaxy Map as stacked counterstrike and port under attack icons as below:

Is Frontier sure about populated Counterstrike systems gaining attacked ports? Commanders are asking me how to find them, and my only answer is that they appear to be only in the Invasion systems. To be sure, the idea is brilliant, just appears not to be the case!

Taking a look at the Galaxy map, we have M. Raijin with attacked ports only in the Invasion systems:

M. Thor has apparently only one Counterstrike, also without an attacked port:

Somehow, M. Cocijo just has no Counterstrikes at all now:
