I like this idea a lot. Would this appear as the patrols on your plugin?

Yes. I can get the patrol sheet to only show systems that have had less than 60 minutes of cruise time. So we should be able to direct people where they are most needed.

Wally. I used the advanced search on EDSM to find Ammonia worlds 200ly from Sol then imported them into a spreadsheet and wrote code to calculate distances and extract more information from EDSM

When I get to a PC I can share the spreadsheet.

I've been looking to see what we have in common with the targetted stations. So we can set up a patrol and gather information.

All 4 are systems with ammonia worlds
Only Irandan appears to have a system suitable for a Thargoid surface site.
All 4 have scoopable stars
HIP 21559 and Irandan have Aegis presence the others do not.
Irandan did not have any scouts prior to the attack just cyclops in threat 5
Lunguni did not have any threat 7 or threat 8

I have identified 174 Ammonia worlds between Sol and Merope. < 200ly from Sol and < 380ly from Merope
All scoopable stars, none of them apart from HIP 21559 and Irandan have Aegis presence

Only systems with Coriolis Starport, Ocellus Starport, Orbis Starport gets us down to 71

We could prioritise systems that could host a Thargoid Surface site and that would give us a shortlist of 24 systems but I think really we should look at all 74.

I think the first sweep what we should look for systems without any NHSS. These sites will need monitoring over time to see if Thargoids are moving in.

Sites that already have NHSS activity can also be profiled.

Any thoughts?

I like this idea.
If you like, I would translate it into German and publish it in our German forum. Cmdrs there have already asked for a kind of agenda. Would it be appropriate to scan Convois from time to time additionally to listen to their chatter - if available - and to see what they are transporting?
How do you get the feedback which systems are already patrolled?

I figured it must have been something like that :)
I'd love to see that spreadsheet, thanks!

No where. :( Tryed to follow one.

and back to IRANDAN If i remeber corect. Just 2-3 hops in circles :(

Hoped i can follow them to some more hot place. new eagly eye station or so :(

edit: did someone try to "feed" a probe or sensor to scouts?
Click to expand...

The scout kill missions, transports; a manifest scanner has common a theme of 1 Prob & 1 Sensor in only 1 ship for the fed mega ships mission....
However the rescue ship scout missions it is far less likely to find just a prob or sensor.... much more random cargo...

In tracking a transport (Black Flight who carry meta / sensors / probs) it was also common to start do short loops 2 or 3 times.... And only then will the transport take off in a direction for 10 / 10-20ly jumps....
The transport would stop at planets or go to stations within 10km... stop & wait for what appears to be instructions.... in which case we would jump again... some time travelling vast distance from suns to planets (400,000)
only to stop & jump again...

And every time you felt this is it.... The secret base is hear...

In conclusion; clearly the transport was getting server instructions... if i was on a random merry-go-round i am not sure.... Tracking a transport for 10 to 20 jump system by system is no easy task.... They would lose me in the end.... What was common all stations visited were fed

The point being... a lot of work has gone into the creation of the Thargoid kill missions & text and is pointing a finger at something...

@Mishkazz


So you think its not a dead end und i should try follow one longer?

Jepp i found ships in NHSS_4 that does the com " thing makes nervous..." "creeped out by this.." but carry just limpets. not sure if this is a bug or right.
let see, motivation is down at the moment, maybe i play wiht thargs later again :)

Today update:
Mentor - mostly nhss 4, sometimes others
Irandan - only nhss 5 and Trufle Shuffle [haha]

EDIT: thought in Irandan scouts in nhss 5, but mistake, only Cyclops alone

Would love it if we had:

Thargoid Assault Fleet (TAF) - fights Thargoids in Irandan and Assinda and in systems where they are already present
Scout Infestation Prevention Armada (SIPA) - pushes back and fights Scouts in all other systems
Alien Threath Assessment Wing (ATAW): flyes around once in systems to detect NHSS

Then depending on how you feel, one could participate in the corresponding group.
Is your blood boiling today? Join TAF and help us squish some bugs!
Need a break? Come to SIPA and loosely press your trigger to occasionally kill some pests!
Feel like you want to get away from everything? Join ATAW today and help us scan the skies and report back any threats with our ARS (why r u laughing? Automated Reporting System :D )

Too bad it can't be done in Open....maybe Mobius or something...

Just a Q; if I'm accepting Thargoid destruction missions in Lunguni, am I helping Lunguni at all? All the missions are in other systems and cashed in at rescue ship.
