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

Checking out that Cavalieri status was a - fu spam filter - idea and effectively spoiled my entire holidays. Offline for 3 days now, will never do such a thing again. Not your fault. Worst thing currently for me is that FD don't respond at all. Hey, I prolonged my xmas holidays by 3 days exclusively for Elite and that's a complete waste now. AT LEAST they could have said sorry and see you in 3305. Now I see where #angryghost comes from. Sad ending of 3304 for me, hope it's better for anybody else.
EDIT: FD support fixed the issue just in time for 3304 and saved me from WoT frustration (you know, all those noobs there).

Got to do a few sorties. This pause issue seems to crash VR, which is quite annoying.

I hope 3305 starts better for you Cmdr Lawful! My game also crashed to main menu whenever i tried to go to Cavalieri. But i was lucky to always spawn back to wherever i came from.
Anyway, I'm now at the Werapana system and i find it odd that there several AX conflict zones but there's not a single NHSS anywhere!
Also, werent we supposed to have faction missions against Thargoids in the Incursion BGS mode? Havent seen one yet! Or was i day dreaming? You know, it would have nice for a few extra credits for repairs and the bill at the local pub!

Anyone know what the 100000 cr bond is for? Ive had 2 of these in the last 2 days from AXCZs in Werepana. First one i thought was glitch and recorded it on my xbox but with the second one im not so sure. I recorded both incidents but cant see why they were awarded.

Try in the megaships for missions
I've heard it said that they are rewards for the end-of-waves. Seems possible <shrug>

Getting there - just under 2 days left to finish off the last two. Though in some ways it would be interesting to see a roll-over 
I tried that. The AEGIS Megaship had only fetch this and that. The Rescue Ship had none!
Those "AX" megaships not only don't have any Thargoid missions, but also don't even sell anything AX-related like Xeno Scanners or AX cannons and the like at all. Wonder what they're good for at all atm, even the rescue ships provide more variety. The Krait II I got stranded in only has one AX gun, but three Gauss canonns. For fighting in AX CZ with that initial wave of Scouts, it might have been preferable to exchange one of the Gauss with another large AX gun, but nada. You have to either bring your own drinks or stockpile them in Shinrarta and have them transferred. But all of these are minor issues that will be fixed over time. Just better not get stuck anywhere again for days, that's the only fear I currently have

Actually that does make some sense. The first time it happened the CZ was bugged and just scouts were coming in but the second on the video she calls out that an interceptor was inbound meaning the end of the first wave. Thanks Factabulous.
I've seen the 100000 cr as well during beta. No pattern that I could discern. Certainly wasn't the end of a wave as I never reached one.
I was definitely getting 100K Cr of Pilots Federation combat bonds for defeating the first wave in the AX Conflict Zone in Electra a few days ago. It was consistent and popped up about the same time as the message about 'Interceptors coming in hot'.
I usually receive those 100k when i helped kill enough scouts to spawn the interceptors.
Also i never reached the end of that white progress bar, not even half! If only one Cyclops Interceptor spawned, maybe i could take care of him, but a Cyclops and a Basilisk at the same time, its too much for me. Sometimes its a couple of Medusas! Now thats a party! I keep killing a few scouts until an Interceptor decides it's my time to go.
One time i was doing the AX CZ with a couple of other guys and a Hydra spawned. I think FD overestimates the ability of the majority of players against interceptors!

I would say that the Thargoid CZs are for wings except that there is a bug in them that you take more damage the more people who are present.
Less than a day to go, 2 systems still have incursions - looks like we might see what happens when an incursion rolls-over:
Next station getting attacked, in case of Kupol Vuh I don't think there is any left (outposts excluded?). Will be interesting to see what happens.
Also - finishing AX CZ grants ~5M (in addition to usual payout for killing interceptors).

Werapana down to marginal at 19:20 US central time. I wonder if that's too late as the win/lose decision is already made.
