Ye nothing beats immersion like a fleet of cmdrs waiting in ambush on wednesday night only to find the station in flames the next morning with everyone wondering how in hell nobody saw anything. Itd be cool as cucumber actually seeing the deed as opposed to mopping up the mess afterwards which is about as much fun as watching paint dry...and pays a whole lot less ^

That would be indeed cool.

Everybody waits, Thargoids drop in and Xs later everybody sees the rebuy screen. Everybody cheers and throws confetti around.

Add me to the list of "yes please, do this".

Just keep in mind that if they do then the usual suspects will moan about how they can only watch it on YouTube because there's a vanishingly small chance of being at the right station ahead of time etc etc etc.

Oh noes!!! :eek::eek::eek::O



:p

Did you leave the gas on again?

I would only want to watch it on youtube :D

And then bath in the glorious tsunami of salty tears of those who thought that they could defeat the Thargoids.
And laugh at those who post things like "why add thargoids if we can't defeat them in sidewinders?" and "Why add that event if FDev just god-modded it again?"

Endless fun until it ends.
 
...and no one noticed? Surely CMDRs are flying there all the time, and no one noticed/saw Thargoids blowing the poop out of it? Hmmm...


Question: If everyone rallies to help, or if no one lifts a finger, will the outcome differ?


Suggestion: Early every Thursday morning CMDRs fly to stations seemingly at risk ready to defend them from the Thursday morning Thargoid attack?
Doesn't work Thargoids are care bears and only attack stations in Solo.
 
hahaha yeah right isn't that just sad?? I mean this mission was actually fun doing and nice in open play meeting other randoms doing the same mission...

I think we are just not meant to make any money/progress fast in this game and just have to wait a few years playing regulary to upgrade all the ships...
 
No, they are a very social, hive minded bunch. They play in their own private group.

I always knew that Mobius is the cause of all evil in this game. Quick, to the PvP forum!

Or you could just help repairing the station. But I guess players aren't interested in shaping the galaxy in a meaningful way. Wait, what?!
 
I think Thargoid attacks need to be made a bit more "real time".

Maybe over the course of a week, it can escalate, with opportunities to prevent or slow the attack, and reduce damage, or risk total loss if nothing is done.
Improving the station can help defend against an attack (supply with anti Thargoid tech)

On day 1 (Thursday. Lol)
Thargoid Scout sightings in system increase.

Day 2.
Thargoid random attacks increase system wide.

Day 3.
Thargoid attack increase in close proximity to target station.

Day 4.
More dangerous Thargoids begin grouping up in various places in the system. (USSs).
Beating a pod of Thargoids really helps the system, but is incredibly difficult.

Day 5.
Random Thargoids will show up within 20km of the station and attack ships.

Day 6. Full scale attack on station.
Thargoids open fire, try to disable the station. Attack lasts 1 day.
This is a real time event. Hits on the station are logged, against Thargoid kills across all modes and instances.
Thargoids could use some sort of slow moving torpedo on station, you can shoot these down to reduce hit counter. Station defence level adds a bonus to results.
Tally up for results day tomorrow.

Day 7, results day!
Epic win. Station takes no major damage. All participants rewarded handsomely. Thargoids pushed from system for 4 weeks.

Win. Station damaged, but ok. Good rewards. Thargoids pushed from system for 2 weeks.

Neutral. Thargoids are destroyed but station is heavily damaged. Good reward. Thargoids pushed from system from 1 week.

Loss. Thargoids are still present in system, will attack next station in 1 week. Station almost destroyed, huge repair operation. No rewards, but good pay for repair materials.

Total loss. Station is left in ruins. Not repairable. Thargoids will attack next station tomorrow. No rewards.

I was just there. On my way to the stations: no NHSS at all ! Just the burning stations. And again: both were dealing with Thargoid items (Palin and black market). SWAT op is likely - but by whom? Really by Thargoids? Might there be another solution? Where have all the people from the rescue capsules gone the Thargs have collected? Still alive and brainwashed? Transformed to Zombies to be sent out secretly to attack the stations?
