Thargoid Attacks: Where, When and What you can do about it

I mean if we lose in that system, folk are not going to want to travel that distance to deliver repair materials.
Prevention rather than long distance grind.[up]
This is why I'm going to be helping out at that system this week. I've set up my Krait Mk2 to hunt Thargoid scouts (though the loadout would be sufficient for a Cyclops if I was a better shot/combat pilot) and except for a game of EDRPG today I have time to participate.
.
It might be worthwhile making the journey out to the threatened station to save time on repair/resupply. My technique is normally to travel only a fraction of a light-second away from a threatened station and hang around in supercruise at low speed (~300 km/s) waiting for NHSS 4 and 5. This way I can return to the station and then get back into the fight very quickly.

This is why I'm out there too.

There is a tech broker on the station as well, it's a very long way to haul repair materials.
 
Yes, seems to be a priority system for our flowery friends. Mostly Hydras scanning wreckages in Th8 and one probe. I just visited a Th9 and it only contained a Thargoid Wake and 4 scouts... hm.

Am I the only one getting just scouts in LHS 2524? Was checking many NHSS threat 5-6, only got more scouts.

I've seen 1 interceptor over the weekend in a t6. Not noticed any higher threat levels that t6.

Currently at 242 scouts so plenty of chances for me to see them if there were a lot of them in the system.

Well, I dropped into one and my DBX disintegrated, so I'm counting that as an interceptor.:D
 
Not much time to play Elite lately, but i also went to LHS 2524 to help. Only 76 scouts though...
I might have some extra time tomorrow to kill a few more. Do Wednesday kills count? I read somewhere that maybe they dont...

As far as we know* they count until the Aegis Megaships get their new flight plans - which happens around** 14:00-18:00 game time on Wednesday.

* guessing that FD look at the kills & set the flight plans
** varies a lot - sorry but that's humans. recently they have been earlier rather than later.

I spent this weekend profiteering helping the citizens of Hooke Station by evacuating them and supplying them with meds. I now have a Krait to suppliment my FDL and it's making a lot of difference! I can chew through scouts much faster now!
 
Been evacuating citizens of all factions from Goddard. I'm back in the black after a long spell away and have no experiences of Thargoids yet, haven't even seen one. Also I have none of the weapons needed to fight them. Are they generally available or is it purely engineering stuff?

AX weapons are generally available - see link to the 2.4 FAQ in my sig for details / locations - mainly surface bases.

More recent Guardian stuff is from Guardian Tech Brokers, see inara for locations and recipe details.

None is engineerable.

The AXI thread is a good place to ask about Anti Xeno builds.

Edit: Some of the locations for AX goods in the 2.4 FAQ are too restrictive, they're more available now, eddb can find them.
