Steady on. I highly doubt this will be greater than Distant Worlds, or many of the expeditions' meetups, or the Salami nonsense, or the many mass-jumps, or the huge scrap in Eravate, etc etc
Let's wait and see what happens before hyperboling all over the place

Excluding the Distant worlds event...everything else was just pew pew nonsense, Also the whole salami thing was a great story portrait terrible within the game due to FD's lack of adding the substance Drew needed in-game, othjer than that i fear this will be another fail however i am very much hoping im proven wrong as the game needs a WOW factor not a permit lock.....OOOHH We can get in there...awww its just pew pew USS over and over....
The plot thickens!! Never did anything alien related myself besides guardian drive and shield booster, but maybe finally now is the time! Corvette is back at Pleiades, dusting off the federal gunship (which i had a-rated and engineered for thargoid battle but never got to do any..). Maybe with other commanders there forming wings and stuff it will be easier. So one week to get the new fighters and reach the Gnosis.. it will be quite a trip with the FGS jump range.. maybe i should get another ship for alien combat but i don't want to risk expensive rebuys and i hate re-equipping ships all the time.. plus with only AX weapons (not up to grinding the guardian ones) i don't see me faring that well. Also i'd hate to have my elite copilot die.

If we're going, bring a fast ship for we all intend to go into harm's way. Damn straight. I'm still in.
Dear Gnosis Captain:
In light of recent developments, please consider adding a broad supply of various AX weaponry to your outfitting stores. You know, just in case.
That is all.*
Sincerely,
AllOfUs
*p..s. - ...and perhaps some of the Guardian modules.
*p.p.s. - ...and also material traders.
*p.p.p.s. - ....and while you're at it, technology brokers might come in handy in the long run. kthxbye.

Currently docked at Mic Turner Base in California Sector BA-A e6. A mere 1.2 klys from Outotz. In stock:
- AX multicannon
- AX flak launchers
- AX missile launchers
- decon limpet controllers
- sample limpet controllers
If I could, I would bring along a few for you - but I don't think this is how this works...
I am so glad I put in all the Thargoid defense systems on my Krait before heading to the GNOSIS. Maybe my Xeno-scanner and shutdown neutralizer will be useful after all. Might go and add a PDS or two as well.
The plot thickens!!
Gnosis has outfitting so you could always strip your ship to make the journey there easier then transfer your modules over once you are there
Technically for lore or whatever purposes the transfer option shouldnt be valid to Gnosis inside the cone as how would transport get through the permit

A Canonn commander ferries them over.
But PF Have locked the area.....I didnt see them say they gave Canonn permision to go there? more like they dont want them to so........
Good point. I'm also very curious if FDev has considered time and distance overlaps during a jump with outstanding deliveries. We'll know in less than 12 hours.
Personally i think if a station has deliveries being made that exceed the time of its departure it should just say nope...not delivering to you...much like Amazon when they dont like your road for some reason (Myself lol)
So I never had a combat-ready build and my current ship is an AspX... is there any point in going for some of these AX modules during this week? And do these require grind or are they regular purchases?
In other words: given the galnet post, pretty sure there will be random thargoid signals in the Cone system... can I equip my AspX to do something interesting other than not entering these signals?
I have played quite casually until now... meaning that I've avoided any kind of intensive grind (never engineered anything yet, for example). So sorry for asking what I guess are basic things.
Edit: I couldn't but LOL at this post: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...ing-with-you?p=6959717&viewfull=1#post6959717

Go back to page 50 of this thread - this was their response:

It's a "Damn the torpedoes" response.
I like it.
Thanks for that tip ...and if I left now, it'd only be 838ly there, which would save me some time ....and then I'd arrive to find that Mic Turner Base only stocks medium AX MC's atm.
Taking down even a Cyclops with only AX weapons (i.e., no Guardian weapons) is hard enough for most pilots with four large AX MCs; I'd hate to have to try it with only medium AX MCs unless I was a sierra hotel pilot. :-/ (Given that my record is one win in twelve attempts when it comes to soloing an Interceptor, I'm clearly not SH!) (YMMV if you're a skilled KBM player with the luxury of relative mode for your FAoff flying; but if you fly HOTAS/VR, fixed weapons are a dang site harder (if not nearly impossible) to use with any reasonable ToT!), leaving you stuck with using AX MC turrets because FDev has decided, in their infinite wisdom, that the Guardians only flew KBM against the Thargoids unless they were fighting multi-crew so their stoopid turrets would work...) [mad]). (But I digress [alien]).At any rate, if you're on the Gnosis and have decided it'd be worth your while to use the next week going all the way back to the bubble to get some of the requisite AX weapons/modules needed to take down an interceptor (or make Thargoid Scout hunting easier), the nearest base that has all the weapons and modules you'll need (Decon Limpet Controller, Xeno Scanner and Anti-shutdown Field Neutralizer) is Ashton Installation, in the HIP 27305 system. It's 974ly from the Gnosis' current position. Don't forget to get an AX SLF for your fighter hangar, too, if you use one.
And, if you've never tried a Thargoid Interceptor before and really think this is the time to start (and it just might be, because finding wing mates might be really easy for a change if you don't want to solo it!), then while you're there, you'll want to buy and store a Military Grade Composite hull to swap out with your lightweight exploration hull and pick up as many HRPs as you can fit (and get them all G5 engineered if you can). You'll want every point of hull integrity you can get!
Wow - consider my 'flabber' well and truly 'gasted'...
Re-parks the explo AspX, and looks around garage for something else...[uhh]
Of course this could all still end in tears

Just checking do I need to be on the gnosis by tomorrow or next thursday to join the expedition? Been seeing conflicting stuff
A thought. Tell me if I'm being stupid here.
That Galnet announcement, with the Gnosis mission going ahead in spite of the explicit forbidding from the Pilots Federation - now, I've been playing various versions of this game for longer than many of you whippersnappers have been alive, and I was always under the impression that the word of the Pilots Federation was law and gospel.
People who know about the lore, tell me, has there ever previously been an official refusal to accept PF rules?
