Some Things That Don't Make Sense to Me

[Schmack]

I think I found one of yours in our washing today, must have come through the temporal rift that lives in the back of every tumble dryer...

It was hyperdicted. Was headed to sock heaven.

whatever number: If a Thargoids aren't yet in a specific system, why is it they can hyperdict me in that system? When I drop out I am still in the system I started in, that has no goid signatures.

Also, the clean assassination mission must be completed without any casualties. I'd think there'd be at least one.

The Thargoids we are told know much more about hyperspace than we do, possibly they are just bending your path around so you return to where you started so you never reached the target system.

Simple...
Although, during a jump, your ship appears to be moving along a tunnel of hyperspace, you remain in the system you jumped from until the connection is complete, when you materialise in the destination system...

So I get hyperdicted jumping to a Goid controlled system, never been hyperdicted jumping away from one to a non goid controlled system. So then my question would be, if I had an FSD that would jump from Sol to a Titan system, would hyperdiction occur and an ensuing battle in Sol? If so, wouldn't that mean Goids are in Sol or anywhere else an FSD can reach a goid controlled system from? (I apologize in advance for ending my sentence with a preposition, it's Sunday).

Yes. The game doesn’t have a ‘dark space’ state/location where you would get ripped out of the wormhole through Witch Space, so you generally end up some distance from the main star(I’ve observed 2,000 to 180,000+ ls) in the system you made the jump from.

People used this to get Thargois into Sol with one of those hand-placed incursions a few years ago, apparently - but those hyperdictions were generally non-hostile.

I'm years behind the "we know already" curve.

Ah... When hyperdicted your ship drops into a hyperspace anomoly that mimics normal space for the duration if your interaction. Once Supercruise is once again engaged you are dropped back into the origin of your last jump... Obvious, innit?
That is the best moopoo i have created in ages, I'm proud of myself, for a sunday!

Never heard moopoo but I'm stealing it.
