Thanks, appreciate it.

I wouldn't call that "burning". Smoldering, maybe.

The perception is relative, and if you turn off the two flags (damaged & repairing stations) you can more or less ignore it completely. I did, until one of my regular haunts was damaged, then another & another.

The rate systems are being attacked is broadly increasing, but there is a travelling collective that fights off the incursion (in AXCZs). But that leaves a station mostly disabled & in need of A-B traders and there are not enough of those to stem the tide so more & more are still damaged.

This means lots of T-9s flying around, including mine. There is a strong motivation to skimp on defences for the sake of cargo space, so lots of opportunities for non-lethal piracy, escorts & general emergent fun.

Yea it really depends on your location. Personally it doesnt affect me. None of the stations i use have been attacked.

I'm actually grateful that this thread has made me aware that there are groups like Operation Ida who are doing something about the damaged stations. Fixing stations with other cmdrs definitely beats powerplay.

For the past couple weeks I have been in AX combat systems leveling my crewmen fighting thargoids. There really is ALLOT space ports burning, currently moved to HIP 10492 which is under attack. Some people run from shooting I want to go where it is because I want to level crewmen. Pretty exciting feels like a total war is going on, they did a good job on it. I hate to sound like a selfish , but I don't care as long as they don't attack founders world. :)Hey doing my part fighting them and if gets too bad there's always Colonia hahaha

I wonder how far this will go honestly, if frontier will just keep having thargoids attack us and if its up to us to repair these ports. Becuase as of right now I dont see allot of interest in repairing ports haha I personally enjoy thargoid combat but I am not interested in hualing materails atm. I supose there will have to be more insentive provided to the players or at this rate the bubble will be infested by thargoids attacking. Humanity will just have to move to colonia hahahaha

Thargoids are the space cleaners, they are wiping out engineers and stations alike. It won't be long before the other Thargoids turn up and attack from the other side maybe Colonia. After that we will accidentally wake up a guardian AI who will attack from the center yup were screwed ;)

I think FD are doing a GM thing here. The Thargoids are going to ramp up the pressure until we really feel it, then there'll be a change. I hope it will be something more interesting than just new more-powerful AX weapons. Maybe the Thargoids will open negotiations or make demands, or another alien faction will intervene. We should see this as a stage in a story rather than just banging heads. I hope.

I desperately hope they contact the legitimate Overlord of the Galaxy and not one of those powerplay clowns.

I must admit, I'm burnt out on the Anti-Xeno stuff. It honestly feels like we're not making a dent at the moment with six new attacks a week.

And it's expensive; I'm going to have to go Void Opal mining for a while just to get my depleted funds back up to a decent level.

Is there anything in the bubble that looks like what happened with the gnosis ( a battle close to a station or megaship)?

I've not followed the Thargoid stuff for a while.

So the galaxy is burning and .........

1) no one cares
2) a few die hards start trying to repair stations until they realise the work involved. They then have a eureka moment when they realise that no one cares and give it up as a lost cause
3) it's business as usual because only certain types of stations get targeted so the majority of system asset's are still useable.
4) oh I almost forgot to add that "no one cares"

But the biggest fail is that we can't see stations under actual attack, they just flag up magically as damaged. So how can this be remotely believable ? The Gnosis incident was brilliant and you felt like you were actually defending the megaship, so why has this not been implemented right across the board? FDev really dropped the ball with this and missed a fantastic opportunity to improve the alien threat immersion.

Hence the reason "no one cares"

A God handed "war" where we cant even defend stations in real time.

It's really sort of hilarious...in a pathetic kind of way.
