WHN is roughly 1k ly from the bubble. Players had to go there an transfer ships.
I flew over in my AX Phantom...only took 20-25mins from sol...admittedly I did use the GFSB as I already had that unlocked. Even without the GFSB it would have only taken a little bit longer. Other MMOs have considerably/equal travel time as this when heading off to participate in an event.
I found the Kraft MkII very effective. Tried the Chieftain as well and wound up limping to the nearest fleet carrier with 0% hull ... though a lot of that was down to fitting 4 Gauss Cannon andnot realising my heat was pushing 300 ...
I was going to go with a Mk2...but I just don't like the cockpit. My AX Phantom did an amazing job and I think it's going to be my new goto AX craft! Two Flak, Two Gauss...did only have 1 flak originally, but found I could speed up the entire encounter with two.
 
Shame, but the Tech Broker is discounting for 7 days. I think a fair few people, me included, will try and get the unlocks we havent already so probably plenty of chance to wing up at the Guardian Sites making it much quicker. (CG dependent ofc)
 
Wow - managed to stay in the Top 25%, pleased with that!

Wasn't there supposed to be a C4 FSD Booster for doing this? I mean, I already have the unlock for it so i don't need it but ...

So, as many untrained cmdrs, i saw the CG, flew the long stretch to the nebula and order my regular fighter build to be delivered by postal service. Three hours later i get my fighting ship. Woop woop, let's go get em boys. Fifteen minutes after thati am back at a base, hull at 40% and declining fast because of some acid thing clinging to my hull, not even sure what had happened and if i even did any damage to one of those space seastars...
... aaand going back to the bubble with zero thargoid kills to my name. So much for CG fun.
whenever you have caustic damage.. run full head into danger.. lasers blasting.. heat your ship up over 150.... it will remove the caustic.. that stuff cant take heat.

Booster will be available from the Golden Stag by the 24th.

Collect your monies and I can give you a lift back to Delkar later.

You can ship the module over in outfitting when it's available.

Well done Cmdr, had a blast flying with you.

Summary
System: Onoros
Station: Golden Stag (Megaship, large pads available, 63.66 Ls from main star, 905.89 Ly from Sol)
Objective: Hand in Combat Bonds after fighting the Thargoids
Time limit: 22nd October 3306 @ 06:00 UTC

Description
Thargoid vessels detected in Alliance-controlled systems within the Witch Head Enclave.
The Thargoids have reappeared in the Witch Head Nebula, and are swarming in large numbers through the Onoros, Lembass, Haki, Wellington and Shenve systems.
Sixteen systems within the nebula were colonised last year to form the Witch Head Enclave, after a successful initiative to locate fresh barnacle sites. This initially triggered a hostile reaction from the Thargoids, but their presence was relatively low until now.
Captain Warren Lamar, head of security for the Alliance Expeditionary Pact, put out an urgent call for assistance:

The Alliance Expeditionary Pact has confirmed that it will offer generous rewards to all Commanders who assist with destroying Thargoid vessels.
The top 75% of contributors will have Guardian Frame Shift Drive Boosters unlocked and a size four module put into storage for them at the Golden Stag by the 24th of October.
To be eligible for rewards, you must sign up as an active participant before handing in Combat Bonds at the Golden Stag in the Onoros system.
Please note that if you have any crew members, a portion of your combat bonds will be automatically assigned to them. These combat bonds will not count towards your personal contribution total, and your crew will receive the reward for their bonds when they are handed in. The proportion of combat bonds assigned to your crew will depend on their rank.
Be aware that faction-state changes and other disruptive events can negatively impact markets and station services, and could prevent the initiative from running smoothly.
Notes:
  • Station services: Commodities Market, Outfitting, Refuel, Restock, Repair
  • Nearest Shipyard: Karian Vision, Onoros (45 Ls)

When will the FSD booster unlock take effect.. will I be able to buy the level 5 booster?
 
It says on the info page... you get the c4 on the 24th

Hmmm .. that means we all have to stay down here until then .... rubs chin ... so presumably the Thargoids strike back and obliterate every station in the Witch Head on 23rd ... ?

Hmmmm.. interesting ideal... but I left and went home.. they putting it in storage.. I am hoping I can just have it moved to me... I've thought about going back on the 24th.. all those jumps with scans etc.. will give me over a mil in exploration alone

Well done Cmdr, had a blast flying with you.

Cheers - likewise, was a lot of fun winging up over the last few days! I’ve shipped my long-range Phantom down now so will probably take the long route home and check some other places out, I think.
 
Oooooohhhh yes!!!!! Went out Scout hunting with my son and decided to drop in on a Threat 5 ... engaged the Cyclops and despite running out of Gauss Cannon ammo half way through the 4th heart we took it out!!

Just our two Kraits and I only had 2 Gauss Cannon equipped at the time ... had to whittle down the last heart with only my lads four AX MC and then the final shield with just my non-AX MC followed by its remaining hull with everything we had ... both ended the fight with about 30 bullets left and 2 mil richer!!

Get in!!
