Thanks
It shows killing thargoids outside of CZs contributes - we can't actually 100% confirm they count without corresponding CZ progress or missions. In a regular BGS war just killing ships or completing objectives in a CZ does nothing unless you hand in the bonds or the CZ finishes.
But outside of a CZ it works. In a standard BGS war you can win a day without any wins in a CZ, or handing in a single bond, just killing merely ships.
I had that one a couple of times over the weekend, one threat 3 and one threat 6. The threat 3, I was just repairing ships with limpets and not getting anywhere. However, the threat 6, I'd just repaired a couple of ships and a four scouts turned up half way through (Quickly Dispatched) but a little time later three Medusa's jumped in and that was the end of me and the fleet I was repairing. It was Awesome (in a I don't want to be blown up type of way).
Wait, is that an NPC talking about the BGS in chat there? Way to break the fourth wall!
I just assumed it's a miscount because the logic is just counting thargoid systems in a radius and they're not tied to a specific maelstrom; So it's double counting some systems from other maelstroms.
If the radius is 100Ly it might work - Indra has stuff that's further than 17Ly from it that might match.
All part of The Plan.
Control systems don't always have thargoid signals present at all times.
Then why does it state "TG War signal detection based list of Thargoid controlled systems" ?
