is anyone actually repairing the stations every week?

i felt beeing forced to deactivate the "damaged stations" icons on galmap because there are so many.
is repairing still only be possible by sourcing materials via EDDB, hoping that not another commander depleted that source, and shipping millions of cargo container across the bubble for every station?

There is dedicated group for repairing the stations: IDA

They provide an online Excel sheet including the material sourcing options, if I remember correctly.

Yep, that would be us madmen and women.
The starport numbers nowadays are "only" in the range of several hundred thousand tons up to a million, so easy work compared to the 10 million of The Oracle in the beginning :D
Join us on the discord (in the link above).

Yeah those numbers are actually relatively low, I remember transporting just over 10k in a CG in a few days with my unengineered Type-9.

Good to have dedicated player groups for these tasks ^^

BTW, do AX CZ’s differ in terms of difficulty? I saw a couple of Medusa’s jumped in yesterday after killing a Cyclops and a Basilisk and if this is the case for all CZ’s, I’m not gonna try-hard to finish them yet :D

I think, the interceptor types (always two) are random every time and not CZ dependent. Additionally, I never saw two Cyclops. If one Interceptor is a Cyclops, the other is of different type.
As the NPCs are not good at Interceptor or swarm fighting, the CZs in the current implementation appear to be designed for wings. In the Beta, several players asked for different difficulty CZs (Scout only, Cyclops only,...) to cater solo players as well.

One day soon they'll notice the \n on the end of the 'No thargoids' string, one day

Must be a compilation error or something...the \n *should* make them more of a list...I'm wondering why that's not happening? :D

That's off topic though. I'm still on the lookout for the mothership!!

This mothership business... Where have you guys read/heard about it? Galnet? Was it announced by FD? Or is it just a forum rumor?

Worse than that - discord scuttlebut. Standard thing : on console, reported by someone else, no video / pics. Seen once, never repeated. Might be true, but of zero use due to the fact no-one can reproduce it <shrug>

Hey, someone said it on the internet, it must be true!

Also file divers, tbh. The same reason it was claimed thargoid probes would be found on planetary surfaces :/

It is funny to read "no Thargoid activity in Pleiades Sector HR-W d1-42" - this system is still crowded with Thargoids. But I understand: it is the "normal" 175ly perimeter activity. Yes, the AX-CZ is gone - that seems to be the benchmark for "no Thargoid activity".

If you fly out to the crashed Jameson Cobra, you'll find in the audio logs he mentions finding and launching the virus missile at the Thargoid 'Hive' Ship. It's probably not in game (yet).

Is it killable? You're welcome to find out if you see it.:p:p

Ah, I was talking about the Guardian Mothership :) The one that turns up in Threat 9's, kills the Hydra and jumps out. That doesn't exist :D

Anyway, carry on o7

I asked in AXI DC that how can we know if we cleansed the systems in Pleiades Sector considering they are always crawling with NHSS’. Noone seems to know how. Also it’s pointed out that the game mechanic is so unreliable that we can’t know for sure if certain SS counts towards the counter infestation fight or generic SS. Looks like all fights we have there are blind shots.

I'll probably just do a Brave Sir Robin, if it ever gets implemented...

So i guess it's just internet rumors.

I’ll see if 4x Gauss works on these as well :D

I remember a few weeks back, when Pleiades Sector something something (where Malthus Terminal is), was infested, me and several other players (AXI, IDA, etc..) just hammered every NHSS 4,5s and 6s, and a few days later, it was no longer infested.

But i see that the problem now, is that system status doesnt even show "Infested", so Merope, Sterope and whatever, just look the same thay have been for the last year, year and a half. So, there's no way to tell if players are doing anything.

I hope FD is looking into these things.
