Thargoid Attacks: Where, When and What you can do about it
- Thread starter Factabulous
- Start date
You can join the Anti Xeno Combat Initiative. Their discord link can be found in a forum post entitled: Anti Xeno Combat Initiative and Ship Outfit Suggestions for All
Under the Thargoids and other aliens heading. They have a lot of information on ship builds and fighting the Thargoids. Along with information on each weeks activities.
Yea, don't bother using the fixed 3c ax guns on scouts though, utter waste of time. I don't know if the fixed 2e is any better, if it has a higher projectile rate, maybe.
For fighting scouts only, I'd stick with standard (non AX) weapons. Yea guardian weapons are quite effective against them, but the cost in power draw, heat output, low ammo quantity & much less common mats for synthesising just doesn't make them worth it there.

Damn, HIP 2843 is in incursion!? Guess those of us there didn't kick enough butt! (yea I was slacking!

do i get a100k credits bond for free everytime i agree to the CZ scenario ?
for killing 1 scout i got 110k, for killing 4 scouts i got 140k

No, you get the 100k as a bonus when you help clear the first wave of scouts. Not before. It is usually credited before the interceptors come in.
ah, that was it
No sign of any activity at the alleged Infested systems.
Very interesting! If you check the Galaxy map, what is the system state for that system? (I'm many time zones behind you and can't check right now.)

Nice spot!
Edit: What we've seen before is systems get tagged by EE, then on the next afternoon (around 15:00 game-time) they go infested. Or they may just go. or they may not bother (like on Thursday).
I wonder if a tweet I sent earlier has had a response then

Targets this week :
Incursions (AX CZ)
HIP 2843
HR 1172
Infestation (NHSS)
Kekenk
Muracing
HIP 21167
Numbers of NHSS seem very low so far.
Eagle Eye:
EE1 has Kekenk
EE2 has Muracing
EE3 has HIP 21167
EE4 has Kekenk
EE5 has Muracing
EE6 has HIP 21167
Found by Hossi this week
Warning: Try and not be in the Infested / Incursion systems on Thargsday for the server restart - CMDRs have reported CtD issues otherwise.
Notes:
* Thargoids first Infest a system, if the Infection is not fought then they begin an Incursion, and we lose stations until the incursion is repelled.
* Infested and Infested systems can be seen in the Galmap left panel. Sometimes the system also switches allegiance to the Thargoids (not always). It's worth checking a system is still Infested / Incursed before travel, as they change through the week.
* There is a galmap filter to help find Incursion systems (there is no filter for Infested)
* Incursion systems : fight in the AX CZ until they are no longer listed in Galnet
* Infested Systems : are saved by kills in the target systems- each kill counts the same, so a Scout is as useful as an Interceptor. Bonds do not matter.
* NHSS will be found in systems within 20 Ly of target, the systems are not being targeted for attack - you can kill Thargoids from them, but it won't help save any systems.
* You can also find NHSS all over the Pleiades - within about 166 Ly of Merope, but it won't help save any systems.
* And you can get (bugged) missions from the Aegis megaships to kill Thargoids, but they also don't count to save systems unless the destination system for the mission is also a target this week.
* Infested Targets are found via a weekly search for nhss in possible target systems near the aegis ships and by decoding the aegis Eagle Eye system https://canonn.science/codex/eagle-eye-installations/
* Incursion targets are found by looking in the 2nd Galnet post, and also by looking at systems that were previously infested.
* Decoding Eagle Eye is now simpler - use this decoder and type in the phonetic letters called out by the eagle eye unregistered comms beacons - this gives the target system

Hello fellow hunters
Personally i dont think the thargoid invasion is living up to expectations...
As weeks roll into months.... just how long is it going to take FD to have a proper working invasion ?
The really sad part is, As you start to see more pieces to the puzzle fit together.... The realization of lack luster and how repetitive this all going to be, if it every works at all.... that's life....
HR 1172 doesn't have a station for an incursion.... yet has a defence ship "Inquisitor"... Far to assume they missed there target and more likely another nearby system is the actual target....
MURACING has a Station.... has a small thargoid system present scan1 5,5,5,5,3 ..... scan2 4,5,5,3
MADRUS today is still active with a small thargoid system present scan1) 6,6,6 .... scan2) 4
keep in mind; Due to the random nature of thargiod spawns.....
And the new game play that has increased spawn times from 30sec - 1 min to 20 min (This is Ridiculous & way to long by the way) that there are even periods of "no spawns" or 2 together, equal to the new spawn time length.... regardless of the system your hunting in....
Only with very large spawn count you will only notice a reduction in number....
Hears hoping they learn how to play the game.... Cheers Stu

AXI spotted that the targets that EE put out on Thursday were the ones we should have had from 2 weeks ago (on the 3rd we found the targets by 'just checking systems', as EE was out of action). That does kinda imply that the infestations are on rails and predetermined. Sadness.
Stay on T(h)arget, Commanders. HIP 2843 shall be cleansed today.
I'll see ya there [up] (again possibly, partial cmdr name in my sig).

* You can also find NHSS all over the Pleiades - within about 166 Ly of Merope, but it won't help save any systems. - No, it's within 175 LYs
