Palins research centre has been attacked by Thargoids

[Drazkul]

So one of our wing members said he'd had trouble finding Palins base this morning so I decided to check it out and its been evacuated.

He said when he did find the base by using co-ordinates he was greeted by a load of Thargoids (sadly I didn't have time to find it myself)

Well, that's just great.
Now who the hell's gonna engineer our engines to bloody G5??!


Gorram bugs.....

Mel Brandon also has G5 drives available.

Thats a long way to go though.

Exactly. Palin's stupid 5000LY requirement will look like a cake walk next to that 22000 LY trek

This sounds like a pretty serious development..

Visited Maia, can confirm that Palin's research center no longer appears as a landable port in the system map. Evacuation signal source as described in the OP.

 

[Sir.Tj]

I was not there...honest...

Damn! I have G5 Thrusters to do. I'm curious if the pinned blueprint from Pallin works correctly.

Went to Palin's research center at 39, 171, was able to get docking clearance and was able to land, but Starport Services in its entirety is red, so no services of any kind can be selected. The only valid choices are 'enter hangar' and 'launch'.

Edited the post to make it less confusing.

My pinned blueprint at Palin's still is in effect.

Went to Palin's research center at 39, 171, was able to get docking clearance, but landing on the indicated pad (yes, with landing gear extended) did not result in docking actually happening. Tried several times. No Thargoids in sight, only regular ships.

EDIT: Tried another time, was able to land now, but Starport Services in its entirety is red, so no services of any kind can be selected. The only valid choices are 'enter hangar' and 'launch'.

Uh.... you were facing the wrong way in that shot That's why you wouldn't have been able to land.

Also, ugh, of course this happens when I'm not able to play

Guess the remote workshop still functions and can get the special from any Engineer that does Thrusters, this is not so good for new players though - we have a couple of cmdrs who are pretty close to unlocking Palin. Hope how we go about fixing this is interesting.

No bugs flying around?

I shot down 11 scouts until decided to move along. Watch for fines from Palin when shooting too close to station. I was damn surprised when I couldn't locate Palin's base from supercruise. I thought it was a bug. Turned out it was many bugs

 

[Rubbernuke]

Can it...? Can it be the tender green shoots of Thargoid invasion done properly grabbing mankind in the most tender of places?

Yep, was able to land once I figured that out. But yes, this poses a problem for those that haven't unlocked Palin yet.

 

[Wimmer]

Ok, so we planned to take their stuff from those new places in Witch Head Nebula during the 'Enclave' CG II, and they reacted with taking our stuff.

Hey! Hands off mah places!

Thursday again I see...

Thursday again I see...

Thargoids have 6-days long weekends. Thursdays are the only days they actually get anything done.
