I know about the mega ships, bit Gnosis was different, as it was a dockable mega ship.
And attacks on stations never happened real time so far AFAIK.
News New 'Thargoid Incursion' State

Shock Cannon is not an AX weapon. It's just a kinetic semi-automatic cannon with theoretically good stats. Only theoretically, because due to massive jitter and overheating it is actually one of the worst (if not the worst) weapons in game. It also cannot be engineered and has tiny amount of ammo. It does work on Scouts, but then does any weapon, AX or not.
Speaking of Scouts - I use this FDL: https://s.orbis.zone/mtn
Fun to fly, super-easy to use and extremely effective against Scouts. You can clear Threat 6 NHSS (12 Scouts), mop up the acid with limpet if necessary, and go clear another Threat 6 NHSS. The only skill required is ability to point it at the nearest Scout and then follow it and shoot until it dies.
Use with pips in 3-0-3. Scouts are slow, so boost isn't needed (and FDL has more than enough speed and maneuverability at 0 pips). Remember to turn away when Scout is about to blow, otherwise you risk getting into acid cloud (and waste a limpet mopping it up afterwards)
Speaking of gimballed AX weapons - no one at FD ever answered why we can't have gimballed AX multicannons or Guardian weapons. Of course, we all know the answer ("they supposed to be a challenge!"), but that does not make our life easier. Thankfully they made Scouts vulnerable to conventional guns, otherwise I would be completely locked out from anti-Thargoid combat.
Who knows, maybe they'll introduce some gimbaled Guardian\AX guns in 3.3.
Yay! [up]
I see a Thargoid CZ with 5 angry Interceptors chasing me around in my future...that much for solo mode, I guess
Otherwise, epic. Make Thargoids great again!

Yep sign me up for that!
Please make it so that Thargoid forces can pull you out of supercruise in an Incursion system.
This just sounds like what we've already got, plus a generic conflict zone and some bgs state.This "invasion" started 3 years ago now. All I can do is shoot at some their fighter aircraft, feed them meta alloys or have them remind me they hate the guardians.
Fog of war - we have no knowledge at all about where the Thargoids are even coming from, let alone their disposition, logistics, and reinforcement capabilities.
Hmmm, so you’re going to further FORCE pointless content on us.
Can you at least do it using the dag gone mission boards and to unlock guardian tech vs meaningless pew pew for BGS or collecting junk for unlocks?

Please have them pull you out of supercruise or have a presence outside of USS before (and while) they also attack stations. I shouldn't be able to freely fly around a system that's under attack by aliens.
Speak for yourself.
If there are than the systems can burn, nothing worse than a full on invasion messing up the wedding.
If I see those msg im out.
Amazing news! Thank you! <O
This ten thousand times, it really needs stepping up to not just be another news article 99% of commanders scroll by and ignore (if the devs want it to have an impact).
Let's hope not, eh?
This a few thousand times as well.

Even better, please let us pull them out of super-cruise. Then, and only then, we might actually have a chance of beating them. Until then, they have the "high ground" advantage and there is just no way for us to actually beat them.
Will the necesseray thargoid kills be seen anywhere? Will it work as "good" as the Station repair (not-counting-bug)???
Well then, lets make thargoid combat open only.

Thargoids that in some form impact on the BGS vs the current way they dont?
Its definitely a case of choosing the lesser of two weevils for me.
Sounds very good so far, especialy the BGS part of this.
One wish that, imo, is essential to make the thargoid a real thread:
Make them interdict player. Remember when you introduced the thargoids with this nice interdiction cutscene? Players where really shocked because this was a real threat now. So please let this happens so everyone who is going into a system that is in incursion state know that there is a real danger!
