Elite Dangerous | Titan Indra Vulnerable & Thargoid War Changes

That was not your question. Interacting with the spire sites is not the only way to participate in the war with the Thargoids, but you know that anyway. If you have an agenda, just say it.

Thanks for the reply, I heard what I wanted to hear.

It's a bit over my pay grade, but there was discussion which indicated core chips could be got from odyssey settlements on worlds with no atmosphere.

Specifically, a settlement at Mapon 6 was mentioned and dcoh says that system is still under Thargoid control, so unless things have changed that might be worth a try for Horizons holdouts?

I'm not sure what you mean, but the easiest way to get chips for me was shooting missiles at banshees from a ship and collecting chips with droids.

I'm not sure what you mean

I probably was not too clear.

Do you have Odyssey?

There is a whole thread about how to get Core Chips if you don't have Odyssey: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/tactical-core-chips-on-horizons.624646/

In that thread it looks like you can get mats from revenants at some settlements even without having Odyssey (e.g. Pellisier's Command at Mapon 6).

Do you have Odyssey?

Yes.
I always thought Odyssey's limitation was the ability to wear a spacesuit, walk on 2 legs.

You are welcome.

Yes.

Well, it is one of Odyssey's advantages, but not only that. Also the ability to land on (thin) atmo planets is there. IIRC, that later feature was very prominently promoted when Odyssey was presented. At first it was said that Horizons players will also get that feature for free at some point, but it was unfortunately redacted again.

Important Changes to the Thargoid war balance​

Following your feedback we have implemented the following changes with the Thursday maintenance.

Thargoid War Strategy

• Alert/Invasion
  • Titans will now directly invade populated systems, skipping the traditional probing state
    • Unpopulated systems will no longer enter an alert state
    • Several populated systems will still enter an alert state
• Counterstrike Port AXCZs
  • Following your feedback, we are enabling an option for port Anti-Xeno Combat Zones to play an offensive role against the Thargoids:
    • In previously populated counterstrike systems, one port will reactivate and will have an AXCZ available
      • This port will have repair/rearm available, but will not offer missions
      • Planetary ports will be favored. If no suitable planetary ports are available, a space based port will reactivate instead
    • These systems can be identified on the Galaxy Map as stacked counterstrike and port under attack icons as below:

As the war continues to escalate make sure you are ready to join the fray with the Python MKII Stellar and the Alliance Chieftain AX Combat Jumpstart!

Do you happen to know if thargoid combat in the titan system has any impact? Feels like it should be somewhat similar to spire combat really, with a spread impact and all. If so, it would really encourage some wing action around the titan rather than just stealthy pod stealing.
