Elite Dangerous: Horizons | Non-Human Signal Sources and Thargoid Encounters

[sallymorganmoore]

Greetings Commanders.

For Horizons players, Thargoid Basilisks, Medusas and Hydras were failing to spawn from Non-Human Signal Sources (threat 6+). This was hindering your progress with Anti-Xeno and Xeno research efforts.
Although some of you have already noticed, I wanted to formally confirm that we tracked down the cause and overnight propagated a fix which will now lure these Thargoid types out of hiding.
Encounters will now be made as intended.

Additionally related to Thargoid encounters in Horizons, you may now notice that Thargons will swarm in their correct numbers.

Take care out there!

Hello Sally! That are great news..... is this a fix only for HORIZONS?
In EDO the swarm size was not displayed any more after the AXI-scan was done to reveal the hearts. And that makes it hard to see the progress against the swarm...

Thanks again - a bunch of pleasantly surprised commanders popping up in discord over the past couple of hours! =)
Must admit i didn't catch the swarming thing so, now i'm super curious. Always more things to find out!

Heya! Aha! Yes so this is just for Horizons Tharg updating today - We will absolutely look into Odyssey related issues separately. Thank for poking on this one

Nice to see the bugs being tracked down so that the bugs can be tracked down. Let's do our part!

You are my frickin' hero! Been waiting ages to get back to doing these!

I'll get in and do some later today! Really appreciate the ongoing fixes

Will SINC be given control of Delphi back once the Odyssey version of this bug is resolved? They lost it due to this bug through no fault of their own, and they fought so very very hard to keep above 1% with many other Pleiades factions helping too, but failed despite a huge heroic effort by all concerned. It does not seem fair to me that a bug caused such a permanent tear of the BGS. At the very least, can you provide them perma expansion until they are back in Delphi?

Yes! I thought I was going mad for a few days... then I was just sad. Now I'm happy again! Wooo!
