The CG would have failed, the gankers would get even more bored, Fleet Carriers would run on time.

Who cares if CG fails? I made a buttload of fake money doing what I like doing. Pew-ing stuff.

They can always CG for the CG. Nobody's stopping them.
I would have to disagree, Fdev would adjust the level and sliders and it would be a resounding success.
Given how low Tier 1 was set there was no risk of it actually failing; I expect if it had somehow worked out that way due to unprecedented player cooperation they'd have:
- set the Invasion difficulty back to normal (or maybe even weaker) at the start of next week to make that, at least, more likely to be defeated
- if that still got ignored, set SD to Thargoid Controlled on completion of the invasion as usual (it's too far out to place further alerts, so that wouldn't be a problem)
- eventually someone would have cleaned it up because it's technically assigned to Raijin and it'd need doing at some point
- it goes through the normal Recovery state and Frontier never speak of it again
After all, it's only one system which - in this hypothetical - players are less interested in keeping around than some anonymous system around Cocijo which offers far smaller rewards for saving it, it doesn't offer anything critical as such, and the amount of damage done in lore to the PF itself can be handwaved to "well, of course it's symbolically important and the loss of life was tragic but obviously we have backup facilities and disaster recovery plans so things carry on"

See, that's the thing. Personal narrative. I like to role play, to keep my interest and have fun,
but I never lose sight of what's going on at the sever level. It's just a game that we don't control.
In a way I am really glad. If you got also other things in life going on you have a hard time participating as many invasion targets are already cleaned up by/before the weekend.
Anyway, so what happens if I get all those free items and my storage is already packed full with 200 items?
And why less reward ? I'm doing AXCZ and haven't noticed any difference.
Do I understand correctly that this zone is unlike the space around the Titans and you can clean the port indefinitely ?
I sometimes think it's all done for one purpose, to free the systems around the Titans from FCs, because then they can be occupied by Thargoids.
Or you got shot by some Thargons with their peashooter projectiles during the reboot.
No idea but it might well be similar to what happens when you pour a quart into a pint pot, you lose the excess.
So it might be best to make sure you have at least as many free spaces as the number of modules you intend to win.
I'd also assume that any modules which go into excess are just automatically discarded into the void, rather than waiting to materialize from the aether. Lucky my alt has no storage worries at the moment with only a small number of ships.
Will be curious to see if we get anything to happen this Monday, or whether things are just left to run as they are (presuming the invasion only clears out tomorrow, which seems quite likely).

One of three elements of no-one-came you stated sounds great to me, too bad it haven't happened.
Well, I've been handing mine in at the end of a session so definitely not at risk there. Currently sitting at 1.7 billion, hopefully that will be enough to remain in the top 25%.
Would like to be around when it finishes but body demands some sleep, so, might miss it depending on how quickly it continues to go this Monday (and the rest of the US night).

I wish they would have handed out some medium guardian gauss, modshards, and modplasmas for the rewards. I don't think you'll attract players to AX with axmc/axmr. Even the pre-engineered ones just aren't very useful and the step up still requires the whole guardian site farming that nobody likes doing.
The missile racks aren't particularly popular, yes, but the multicannons definitely do serve as a good entry point for killing Scouts and Cyclops, as well as assisting with the tougher variants. Or just for support builds if the player is inclined that way/not as good at fighting the big ones... or just for variety. I was not bothered to get the Azimuth multis via the tech broker but will definitely give them a spin when the CG rewards are available.
