@Sally: Official word on weird behavior of war progression in Barnacle Matrix systems?

Hi Sally, and Frontier team,

CMDR Mechan of the Anti Xeno Initiative here. Hope you had a great weekend.

We have noticed extremely odd behavior of war progression among systems hosting Thargoid Barnacle Matrixes; in particular:
  • Prior to the ability to rescue pods from Titans, such systems appeared to be locked at 0% war progression
  • Turning in pods resulted in progression increasing for such systems that were in a counter-strike state. As a result, a half-dozen such systems were cleared last week and have reverted from Thargoid control to uncontrolled this week
  • This week however, at least one of such systems has its progress apparently manually reset from 77% to 0%. Reports are coming in of turning in pods no longer giving progression for a set number of counter-strike systems as well

Can we have an official word on this?

It would appear that pods increasing war progression of Barnacle Matrix-hosting systems was in error.

But now that they HAVE been cleared, what will happen? Will they manually be reverted to Thargoid controlled?

Asking as we already have a fleet of carriers relocated to said systems, and such an action would result in all of our carriers being booted without notice…

Appreciate your guidance!

Huh, no one is around inside of Fleet Carriers in this system. Shipyard, Vista, and On foot supplies are all suspended too.

Well, pretty sure carriers are not supposed to sit in Thargoid Controlled systems to begin with … but stick around and interceptors will spawn and carriers firing on interceptors makes for quite the fireworks

I watched for a little while and the interceptors seemed to just wake in, send out an energy surge, and wake out. Was sitting in the open but empty bar on the carrier watching this happen a few times. Power never went out in the carrier though!

You know what'd be really cool? If we could enlist our carriers into the war. Sign up, sign a waiver saying neither Brewer, Aegis, Federation, Empire nor Alliance is responsible for damage to your carrier and the upkeep will be double of the normal rates (because all these poor souls tasked with scraping the caustic goo off it will need top grade PPE and generous hazard pay).

Your carrier defence turrets will be replaced with AX versions, civilian personnel in the concourse will be swapped for military staff, an AX NPC squadron is stationed in your docks and the carrier will be jumped into a counter-strike system of your choice for a week after the thursday server tick. An AX CZ zone will be formed around it and you can have all the fun and profit of AX combat around a space station even when there are no invaded systems. Maybe even throw in a special decal or carrier paintjob for those who enlist🙂

*Why would you pay convicted criminals hazard pay while they are getting a year of their sentence for every week they scrape goo off your carrier.

Wouldn't advise messing with the interceptors around carriers unless you know what you're doing... they seem to have the permanently enraged bug and will launch suicide swarms constantly.
