So, what is the current state of the Thargoid Incursion?

With Galnet not being available, we'll have to collect our data ourselves, I guess. So... what is the current state of the Thargoid Incursion? Which systems are besieged, where are currently the most intense battles?
 
All defeated? Well, that's good news, I guess.

I wonder how this disaster will influence their future actions, though.
Well they went on a 6 month hiatus, came back with a serious force, now they are gone again.
You can still find them in Pleiades and Witch Head, but no stations are getting attacked.
 
So they lost so many ships that they can not afford further attacks, but at the same time, are not coordinated or decided enough to draw the right conclusion and retreat.

Or maybe those leftovers are waiting for the main force to arrive, now that their avantgarde has been defeated.
 
[I mean, from a game designer point of view, a massive, dramatically overpowered Thargoid invasion force makes a lot of sense: it burns a lot of player money, gives people a goal to play for (actually, two, since you'll also want to re-earn some money) and adds to the drama of the Elite universe.]
 
They can probably afford much more attacks but they won't, because FDev is busy with Fleet Carriers and the next big update. I'll keep my hopes low until the paid update.

Yeah the NHSS in that area are (hopefully) always there, same as the witch head nebula area.
I am rarely anywhere else, basically if i am not grinding something for whatever reason, thats where you will find me, badly fighting the good fight😃
Helped another CMDR get his first Cyclops kill and first AXI rank last nite. Which is always nice.

I am just getting my feet wet with Thargoids these days - flying my beloved Mamba with various loadouts to see what works best against the scouts. Eventually, I will try to take on the bigger Thargoids, but it is quite possible that a Mamba simply cannot solo them.

Which is to say: Who's got a squadron fighting the Thargoids in the Pleiades?
 
AXI (Anti Xeno Initiative, Squad AXIN)

Home base is HR 1185

And you 100% can kill Interceptors in a Mamba!

Ship builds, tactics etc are all available over on discord👍

Happy hunting CMDR
