With the proviso that it needs to be tested, it might be a defensively useful as UA bombing, though I'd epect happiness to be reduced by being on fire

And the need to repair station...
Thought you folks might be interested.
From the BGS patch notes in Beta 4:
"Pirate attacks and outbreaks will now occur automatically"
Wait ... "pirate attacks"? Another new BGS state, perhaps?
EDIT: *apparently* this was just a typo and it has now been corrected to read "outbreaks will now occur automatically".
...but maybe later

Do we know what triggers the current pirate-infested systems? I've come across a few such systems here and there but didn't have a chance to investigate.
Civil Unrest or Lockdown state on the controlling faction
(and no War/Civil War state on any other faction, or you probably get CZs in those spots instead)

Better without the station if you are under skilled BGS attack
So the question then becomes: how do you invite the Thargies to attack?
Nope
Bummer. Did FDev explain why not?

FD got tired of changing gov types, which came from inserting PMFs into places that messed up Powerplay bubbles with awkward gov choices.
What these said.
To answer your question, no, they didnt "explain why" because there's nothing to explain; it's just not something they'll do.
Meh,
what I would like to see to tie in powerplay a little more with the BGS is the ability to change superpower allegiance.
Wont ever happen though.
So... the latest livestream was a bit ... difficult.
Early in the stream: "Thargoid incursion state locks the influence in the system between factions"
Later on the stream: "Can Thargoid Incursion be used as defense, given that influence will be locked?"
A: "Influence won't be frozen, and has bad effect on security and happiness..."
So which is it?

Are you sure about that first one? I only heard Adam say early on that Conflict locks the influence, then later that Incursion doesn't. But, of course, I may have missed something. I may need to listen again
Mmm, maybe I misheard myself....
I did not understand that either. One thing that was made clear is that on live day, all states are going to be reset to [NONE] but influence levels remain as they are.
