COMPLETED CG Defend the Proteus Wave Project - week 3 (AX-Combat)

[Kietrax]

Summary

System: Pleiades Sector CW-U B3-2​

Station: Musashi (Megaship, large pads available, 131 Ls from main star, 369.11 Ly from Sol)​

Objective: Hand in Pilots' Federation Combat Bonds for destroying Thargoid ships​

Time limit: 4^th August 3308 @ 06:00 UTC​

Description

Work on the Proteus Wave in the HIP 22460 system has concluded, according to an announcement from Azimuth Biotech.​

This is Salvation. The core mechanism of the Proteus Wave is now fully assembled. Under my guidance, specialists are performing checks at the selected site on HIP 22460 10 b. Additional power capacitors are also being installed to improve energy transfer management.

Over the next few days, the Proteus Wave will be calibrated within one of the Thargoid structures, the unique properties of which will greatly amplify the weapon’s signal. This breakthrough was only made possible due to decades of xenological research conducted by Azimuth, alongside pioneering theories on cross-species interfaces.

Commodore Halloran reports that even greater numbers of Thargoid vessels have arrived within the Proteus Wave’s effective range. But it is now absolutely critical that they are prevented from approaching the planet. At all costs, the superweapon must be protected until it is ready for activation.

​

The Allied, Federal and Imperial anti-xeno taskforces continue to engage Thargoid forces within the HIP 22460 system. Volunteers are still urgently needed to support their capital ships and take part in defending the Proteus Wave project. The Musashi, an Azimuth megaship in the nearby Pleiades Sector CW-U B3-2 system, will redeem all Thargoid combat bonds.​

• The top 50% of contributors will receive one small Salvation Plasma Launcher.
• The top 25% of contributors will receive two small Salvation Plasma Launchers.

In support of the anti-Thargoid efforts, a variety of AX weapons are now available to purchase at the Musashi.​

​

The campaign begins on the 28^th of July 3308 and will run for one week. Shortly after the campaign ends, rewards will be distributed and a fourth phase will begin.​

​

To earn rewards, you must sign up as an active participant before handing in Pilots' Federation Combat Bonds at the Musashi in the Pleiades Sector CW-U B3-2 system.​

​

Please note that if you have any crew members, a proportion 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 these combat 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:

• The Musashi is orbiting planet 2
• Thargoids most likely to be found in HIP 22460 nearby
• Megaship services: Commodities Market, Outfitting, Repair, Restock, Refuel

Thanks for info! But again, rewards are nothing special. And phase 4 will be small salvation shards? Phase 5 will be medium chargers? Phase 6 - medium shards?
Phase 7 - Salvation arrested, Proteus Wave cancelled?

 

[Grimscrub]

Question.
Are Plasma Launchers something different from Plasma Chargers, or just an internal name etc?
Because if Salvation's naming his own weapons now, I'd grow more curious

Well, we did not yet receive the class 2 hammer gauss, but class 1 was the usual one Salvation's version. I think that if class 2 will be ordinary too, then it is for sure small plasmas will be ordinary Salvation's plasma chargers

New CG, new ship!

Shards are in the parallel running trade CG for Azimuth - your prediction doesn't work anymore!

Anyway, you are right these rewards are far from special.


P.S.
Salvation will kill himself with his proteus wave and it will do nothing to Thargoids and everyone will be doomed

You're right, I wrote this prediction too early. Still I think Update 13 will be postponed for some weeks. Maybe at the end we can buy small proteus wave to shoot around happily?

Hehehe last time I went outside was hmm 1 year ago I think. I went to get the vacination.

I am Agorophobic, have been for about 10 years now. I do not go outside, except for emergencies
No offence taken, it made me smile

 

[Patz]

Less AX players since yesterday, and more FDL griefers in AX CZ. Back to solo. At least I got enough peaceful time to take my first hydra down with a group of anonymous CMDRs

I've spent a lot of time in these CG's, only stopping to watch another CMDR once (I commented as much on my EDSM logbook on Tuesday) as I'd not seen what I assume was cold orbiting carried out so cleanly before. That was CMDR @BL1P in what looked to me like a Krait. Then I tried to help, hope I didn't get in the way...

 

[GraphiteGB]

SAWs from phase/week 2 were released, they were exact clones of those in salvations tech broker available for mats...
FDEV did not mess up the stats... C&P worked.
Chargers are likely to be the same chargers as in the tech broker...
If phase/week 4 is the mediums plasma rail guns. I don't expect to qualify for 25% in that CG...

 

[Condor]

mediums plasma rail guns

Can I have 4 of those to go, please?

Done for this CG. Another Notbing but Cyclop /Bas run in high CZ got pushed to 50 % tier for this CG boo...
Still using the S.a.w Plasma rails and the S.a.w shot guns...
( Theres just too many games to rent on PS+ extra. They were never worth pay to keep prices but rent and forget after for a year, A lot of titles ..)

 

[GraphiteGB]

Ok over 500 mill for top 25% thats a lot of cyclops kills was never going to put that much time in...

The good thing about this CG is that if there are many commanders, the big thargs may be killed too, including hydras.
While not able to solo kill a hydra, I participated in killing lots of those in a group. Particulary one should pay some attention to Finance Friday events carried out by AXI community - there are plenty of very skilled commanders

Wow, thank you, thats quite a compliment and I am unsure I deserve it.
There are many better AX pilots than myself but Thank you !

The only people who mess up the CZ for me are people who use fighters. They cause massive amounts of lag in open an cause the Thargoids to warp all over the place and to then not explode when killed etc.
Fdev should consider blocking the use of fighters in open until the problem is fixed.

Or those who forget to turn off report crimes

Everyone else (Not gankers) is very appritiated when they help as I always need help
Gankers get blocked

I'd like some outside opinion. In these AXCZ I often use plasma chargers since their usage does not require heatsinks. But those things leave a cloud of something that might prevent target visibility. And thus I wonder if this interferes with someone else's attack or not. What do you think of that?

For me personaly :-
It does hinder visability but so does most everything else
I use them sometimes but the fall off is very short at 1000.

If you enjoy using them keep doing so, its not that bad a problem.

I think they are great for exerting but not so great at hearts. Generally.
I might be wrong but Im not sure if the plasmas cause Missiles or not. You know when shields are up if you shoot the goid it fires missiles. well im not sure if plasmas do that.
Maybe some AXI expert can tell us.
