Question for all you smart AX warriors

It always had them.
Taranis was destroyed before reclaiming all it's systems... and with Taranis out of action, there was no reason to put effort to recapturing them.
This question has been appearing in several places recently! I answered a version of it here last week, although I will mention that this part hides something of note:
The reasons for having some remaining Control systems now is related very strongly to being the first Titan destroyed:
That changed at the end of May 3310 with the Thargoid War overhaul, which you can see has System difficulty is now linear with respect to distance from a Titan, making capture possible again. Titan Taranis exploded while it had seven Control systems, then its remaining Alerts and Invasions completed to give it a few more after it was already gone, but a few Commanders have since returned and reduced that to four.
The reasons for having some remaining Control systems now is related very strongly to being the first Titan destroyed:
- We cleared all its systems last November 3309—before Titans could be destroyed at all—and it started capturing them again after they completed Recovery.
- Doing that required an absolutely massive effort and expended all its Spire sites, without which we could not do it again.
- Thus, we had to destroy Titan Taranis first in February 3310 because it was recapturing systems we could no longer win back.
