New System State: Blight

Blight(y)

It looks like the state is currently bugged. The effects you'll expect to see on food supply aren't visible in affected agricultural systems. Perhaps this state was released early? You'd think it would be connected to the current Interstellar Initiative/CGs but at present, that doesn't appear to be the case.

Blight seems to be a global state, so, what triggers it? Is there any way to prevent a system from being Blighted? Is it just a temporary state, to be removed after the Interstellar Initiative? Or is it here to stay? (Please say yes, FD). And where does Famine state fit into all this?

If this development does lead to where we think its going (Thargoids), then well done FD, it would be by far the most interesting thing to happen to the Thargoid narrative for years.

But, FD need to squeeze the galaxies balls hard. Not just a little tweak, I'm talking OAP melon testing grip squeezing to really put things on the skids.

BTW- when the Thargoids attacked stations, what was the last systems attacked? Is there a match, were the Goids seeding the doom shrooms?
 
the low production of crops and then the contamination of food, causes a great famine to all civilization, people begin to die, economy falls and humans are almost forced out of the central systems in search of new systems suitable for cultivation , millions of commanders leave their homes in large fleet carriers loaded with combat, exploration and cargo ships.
After months of exhausting exploration and serious problems in the central systems, a few thousand light years away, is the first system suitable for human life and food cultivation, the first bases begin to be built ... while in the other end of the galaxy comes news of a strange alien portal discovered.
The investigations of this great discovery begin, when suddenly terrifying news arrives from the central systems.

With low presence of experienced commanders and the general vulnerability of the situation, the Thargoids have begun to attack each of the bases established in human systems, quickly and fiercely, with an almost unusual violence and strategy.Pests, land pollution,fertilizers made from thargoid products ... now everything makes sense, everything had been an evil and meticulous plan to exterminate the human race quickly and efficiently

The systems begin to fall, soon they will reach Sun, the cradle of our civilization .... some commanders they come to the aid of the attacked bases, others help in the construction of new remote bases ,with profesor Palin to the head, to provide support in what has now been called the Great war or war for Humanity, and another small group begin to cross the new discovered portal ...
Could it be Raxxla? Could its wealth be the opportunity to obtain new resources quickly and silently to combat this premeditated extermination?Could we find an unexpected ally in these worlds? Could they be our guardians in this threat? Will it provide us with wisdom to combat something they have done in the past?

Can the human race fight its own extinction, or will our galaxy see the rebirth of a new dominant hybrid race?

In any case ,our situation is desperate, we had not seen anything like it, they are days of hunger, war and companionship
nothing will ever be the same as we knew it...

The NEW ERA has begun.



Too much beer and stuff, good morning guys

Significant effects on food demand in non-agriculturals, though - basic foods up, luxury foods down. At least a few other changes in demand as well.
 
This famine and its associated blight state could go one of two ways... It could either be another galnet fluff piece linked to the interstellar initiative, or it could be a mechanism for progressing the thargoid narrative. The latter is the one that would interest me more, as it would be plausible that the december update is going to bring us carriers because we will need them in our fight against a thargoid counter attack, a counter attack which will bring "Hive ships", and a concerted incursion into the bubble.

What would this have to do with the "Blight" I'd imagine the Thargoids could be preparing for their attack by poisoning the the bubble to starve us and thus weaken our ability to fight them, I'd also imagine that were they doing this sort of prep work to soften the target, ie: us, they might launch a cyber attack in November. Then in December we get hiveships and carriers, as a sort of "merry xmas y'all, tis the season to be jolly, peace on (a burning) earth, and death to all bugs".
 
poisoning the the bubble to starve us
It's not that different from what we did to them. They might have remained almost entirely hidden, like ghosts, if we didn't begin exploiting their resources. That's what made them act like bees without a purpose. But as it has been since "the watchmen" of "the seeds of their return" turned their coats and became corrupted, they didn't plan this, we were corrupted by our own greed.

Kentucky Fried Thargoid?
You'd be surprised what goes on in those Kumo worlds. It's quite different from Utopia systems, where agricultural workcentres at least provide basic level of nutrition as part of indoctrination programmes.
