Incursion state - where ?

I'm in the Pliades Nebula (Maia / Celaeno) where there are literally 100's NHSS of various threat levels 3 - 9.

Why is there no system in the bubble in the incursion state?

The Galaxy map was recently updated to include incursion and the BGS was altered to add this state. After all this time since Beyond launched, you would have thought that all those systems where the stations are under attack and systems with hundreds of NHSS would be in INCURSION state at the very least.
Not a single mission at the stations offering kill scouts or Thargoids. Business as usual in these places.

What's the point of this state if it's not going to be used?
 
If you're looking for AX Conflict Zones you're out of luch for about 5 hours. After the maintinace window tonight, we may see as many as five or so incursion systems with some of those zones. Act fast if / when they do appear because they'll all be gone from the bubble within two days.

If I'm correct, incursion systems are fairly easy to spot because they have a damaged system icon (what I call it) which is a bit more red than the regular ones. When I see them after the maintinance window, I just go to each of them and look for the zones.

AX CZs will appear, yes. But not stand-alone NHSSs. For some reason these never appear in the bubble even in incursion states, in my experience. You need to travel to the Pleiades for NHSSs.

I can't see any reason why this should be the case and I hope it gets addressed by Frontier.

There will be NHSSs in the "infested" systems in the bubble - the ones the Thargoids are trying to move to incursion.

Those don't show up on the map - you need to decode Eagle Eye (or wait for someone else to)
 
Some player groups have been really effective at pushing the Thargoids back from incursions, to the effect that there are none left at the end of the server week. The war is going well for humanity ATM. There is even talk of trying to clear the Pleiades.
 

Complaining about one of the few areas of the 'story' that the players have influence over... Lots of info about what's happening in the above link.

Hmm,

Is that even possible?

Definately! It's the norm now. When 100s of players can go into a AX Conflict Zone and each kill a scout every 15 seconds or so, the Incursion states in all five or so systems don't last more than two days. It isn't a bug!

What I was originally getting at was the Galaxy map. There is a [state] filter that highlights systems (in purple I believe). I have never, ever seen any system show up; not even systems heavily infected with NHSS. Surely these MUST be in incursion state - otherwise what does INCURSION actually mean?
The BGS in Beyond was re-written to include multiple states, so searching for incursion infested systems should be possible in the Galaxy map.

Incursion state means that the Thargoids have successfully attacked the system, damaging at least one starport, and are being fought in AX CZs. If not fought off they will damage another starport, though at the moment this is rare. This state appears on the galaxy map and is also mentioned in Galnet.

Infested state means that the Thargoids are attempting to attack a system. This generates NHSS rather than AX CZ. If insufficient Thargoids are killed during the week, it will change to Incursion state the next week, with one starport damaged. This state is (intentionally, unfortunately) not visible on the galaxy map - they are found through the Eagle Eye stations.

Systems around the Pleiades also generate NHSS due to the general Thargoid presence in the region. This is neither an infestation nor an incursion and does not lead to attacks on stations if ignored.
 
Lol - you didn't read the link I posted at all did you :)
LOL. I didn't fully read it. Guilty as charged!.
So the Gal map is bugged right now, and the state to indicate NHSS in the system is not working as it should be. I didn't realise incursion was so short lived, so it seems that infested/infetation is the state I should be looking for .... when FDev fix it.
