Player Community Goal: Deliver commodities to help analyse and attempt to jam the Proteus Wave

[Falcon91]

Does this make the whole station a legitimate military target ignoring collateral damage?

Answer: Humanity did this in WW2, and still does it to this day

In Iraq there was a bunker that was used for civilians, the US hit it with two bunker buster bombs, and killed 300+ civilians. Then claimed it was a military target, and being used by the Iraqi army, it had an old relay in it that was according to the Iraqi officials who defected in 95 inactive at the time because of the risk to civilians.

In WW2 we levelled entire cities to disrupt the enemies ability to fight.

In Vietnam the US carpet bombed Hanoi's industrial/military districts and hit some residential as well.

We used a biological virus against them, and probably killed millions of them with that, some of whom weren't involved in the military campaign but would be considered in our terms collateral damage. I think the goids have more than enough reason to hit us back.

Does the second part also cover Thargoids attacking the systems Alexandria was in?

What happened there was it detected the Guardian stuff it had in it's hold. Not sure if you've tried to use Guardian stuff at the surface sites or have ever dropped it in front of them, but they get very very very angry.

Greetings again Commanders, another campaign update.

I am incredibly pleased to announce that we have surpassed our "tier one" goal of 72,000T delivered. The current total stands at 90,518T and we have enough materials to successfully prepare jamming equipment for all thirty-seven carrier vessels, along with a few additional devices which will be dispatched to the Dionysus. I ask commanders to continue delivering however, as it's unlikely that the devices will survive more than a single use - once they are powered down, they will likely not power back up again.

So-called Salvation may make his grandiose statements, but he forgets that he is not the only one with access to such knowledge and technology.
It was only with the engineering resources and personnel provided by Sirius INC, the scientific personnel provided by The Allied Order of Exemplars, the research data provided by the Turner Research Group, and the large number of carrier crews placed under my command by ACE Exploration that we are even able to undertake this initiative. We may have invented the experimental jamming devices, but we could not have produced, fitted or calibrated them on such a scale without this joint effort.

Finally, I would like to extend our warmest thanks to everyone that has contributed so far, please keep those deliveries coming so we have the best chance to stop this insanity before it goes any further.
Right on, Commanders.

Greetings again Commanders, yet another short campaign update.

I'd like to report that we've massively surpassed our tier two goal of 144,000T, and currently stand at a total of 164,221T delivered across the board. We will now be able to outfit at least another ten carriers with the experimental equipment when we commence stage two in the upcoming weeks. Please continue your deliveries, as we'll need to hit 216,000T to surpass our tier three goal for yet another ten.

We only have until Tuesday, then I have to give our allies their carriers back until stage two begins - so make it quick and make it count.
Right on, Commanders.

"Now, we can begin."

The mass elimination of the Thargoid Menace will not be stopped! Once the grand plan has been completed, Salvation, Azimuth Biotech, and all three Superpowers may turn their gaze to the turncoats who have started to support the Thargoids on the verge of humanity's greatest triumph.

Rest assured the moment has been prepared for, and it's been many years in the making.

Good luck, everyone <3 Hopefully whatever fan-canon narrative you're shooting for works out for you <3

War scenario or not, that parts list etc and the goals related look like an attempt by a group of clans to trick the player community into loading enough CG-specific items for your officers etc to never have to do your own loading again (for the remaining duration of this game's lifespan) while using Salvation's fistfight with a bunch of homicidal acid flowers as an excuse.
I can dig it, solid play.

1. Trying to counter mass-murder is not "supporting" the victim of said mass-murder. It's simply the humane and ethical thing to do.
2. Most of us have tried to stop this fascist paradigm ("Humans are good, aliens are bad.") for many years already. (Although I myself only recently started to question who the aggressors are in this case and who the invaded defenders are. I do see that I made bad (because uninformed) calls earlier.)

super expensive fees for haulers these days (its not cheap). but its not about the money, its about providing an emergent activity. Maybe a little about putting on a show

We're losing approximately 12.5billion credits on this initiative, it's not a corporate scheme I can make that clear for certain.

I never said the money was the goal, the credits flow like fine wine in this game. TIME is money. I stated it seems you guys are having yourselves loaded in advance to save yourselves from all of the future work of having to do it, hence why the items requested are all the high-end support items for CG turn-ins.

 

[Julian McCoy]

Greetings again Commanders, I have what is likely to be our second-to-last campaign update before we conclude tomorrow.

We have just surpassed our tier three goal of 216,000T. The total delivered as of my writing this is 219,635T, a phenomenal effort from all involved and you have my wholehearted thanks. However, please continue delivering as much as you can as we need to have everything ready in order for stage two to begin over the next week or so.

Thank you all for your effort.
Right on, Commanders.

I am sure they would load up faster, if they were not out in these nebulas and far away locations, where their deployment actually follows the stated pattern.

Ooooh yeah. You should have seen us loading/unloading during the Sirirus-Alliance Defence pact CG... That machinery was a beauty to behold.

 

[Mas s_1nhibited]

dont want to make it too easy or hyped.
Because fdev own the property players cant dictate outcomes or know anything (or to expect linked affects). theses types of market based events also need low traffic and less fuss for the organiser. We had no idea what to expect.

 

[Julian McCoy]

Commanders,
Our time is up and the first stage of our campaign has ended!

I'd like to report that our appeal has been enthusiastically received by the galactic community, and we have amassed over 226,790T of the required materials. Further counting is currently taking place due to timezone differences aboard the carriers - they've been relocated to various systems outside of their normal ranges - and I hope to be able to deliver a precise number within the next few days. We are now capable of staging up to an additional twenty fleet carrier vessels for stage two of the initiative, only made possible by our hitting tiers two and three in this goal.

However due to Salvation being delayed significantly, our plans have now altered and we will be commencing stage two of the operation some time in the next few days. I encourage those with carrier vessels available to contact me directly if they wish to stage as a jamming platform for stage two. More details on stage two will be provided in the coming days.

Thank you all for your help, without your contributions we could never have made it this far.
Right on, Commanders.

You DISGUST me. HOW DARE YOU betray our OWN SPECIES you VILE SCUM?

We Anti Xenos will NOT stand by in the face of such TREACHEROUS actions. Expect your ships to be blow to smithereens if you DARE to try and deliver cargo to these FOOLS.

Let's take a step back and look at the numbers behindtheir "retaliations". How many thargoid civilians, civilian thargoid vessels, and civilian thargoid habitations have been destroyed by humans in this conflict? You don't even need to use your fingers for this because the number is zero. Can you even begin to estimate how many innocent humans have been kidnapped or killed during the same period? Thargoids are not the victims in this conflict, we are. When in doubt, I always root for the underdog, but to each their own.

How many Thargoid women and children and non combatants were killed by the virus ? Which was delivered by the pilot who was then killed by their own side ? What would have happened if the tide was turned ? What would humans do ? Find out who was responsible and hunt them down . Honest guv we didn't do nuffin , we were attacked for no reason sounds familiar ?
Can you estimate how many bodies are strewn in the inra bases ? Or the amount of people killed by those in charge?
Yup you are innocent
