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

[Krieger]

Yes, about a 100 ly. I jumped to a system at 150 ly from Merope expecting to see NHSSs but had to jump back to ~ 100 ly to see a few.

Hyperdictions are up!, just did a long haul cargo run (266 LYs) to Taygeta, got hyperdicted 3 times! A squad mate said he got hyperdicted 8 times in 1 trip!!

 

["Red" the Pirate]

Yep, the goids have most certainly amped up their hyperdiction efforts.
And a possible reason for the "nhss bubble" shrink is probably due to them moving to the witch head.

 

[Assimilator1]

Could be!.....

 

[Assimilator1]

Is it just me, or has the Thargoid probe noises changed? I'll post a link to a video tomorrow, if no one finds a probe in the meantime.

Thargoid Probe 'song', recorded yesterday. Is it different?

[update] After listening to this video from October last year, I don't think it has changed after all.

That's last year. Try when we first found them, x-amount of years ago.

I could've sworn they sounded different since 2.4 or so...

Sounds the same to me.

 

[Assimilator1]

Roger that, although Red the pirate might have a point, I need to find an older video.

Come on a massive load of AXCZ's!

 

[Assimilator1]

Where??

Eagle Eye has updated - all messages are on the hour at the moment. All systems apart from one are unpopulated, and as that are in Thargoid locations we don't know if they are infested.

• ee1: Sterope II
• ee2: HIP 18502
• ee3: pleiades sector MI-S b4-1
• ee4: hip 17481
• ee5: witch head sector ir-w c1-9
• ee6: Witch Head Sector IR-W c1-8

 

[Factabulous]

EE1 was misreported - is Sterope II, not Merope - corrected post ^^^

 

[Redden Alt-Mer]

• ee5: witch head sector ir-w c1-9
• ee6: Witch Head Sector IR-W c1-8

This led to identifying that the Witch Head Thargoid Bubble™ is centered on:

Witch Head Sector IR-W c1-9 and has a radius of 75Ly

yet absolutely nothing is there ... yet?
(IR-W c1-8 is a few LYs away from IR-W c1-9, nothing there either)

Reports are coming in of considerable dakka in HIP 18502.

One possible analysis of the targets:

• 2 witch head targets are the centre of the Witch Head NHSS shell (as Redden said)
• Sterope II is pretty close to Merope - within 4 Ly - which is the centre of the Merope NHSS shell
• HIP 18502 / pleiades sector MI-S b4-1/ hip 17481 all equidistant from Borrego's Vision

I guess we'll see if Borrego is a coincidence next week

 

[Assimilator1]

What's special/unique about Borrego's Vision?

 

[Lightspeed]

yet absolutely nothing is there ... yet?
(IR-W c1-8 is a few LYs away from IR-W c1-9, nothing there either)

There's a choke point, to get in and out of the Witch Head, to avoid the permit-locked systems. Could that be it?

But all they could do would be to increase the interdictions unless ......... interdictions turn hostile ... all those shieldless haulers !

 

[Assimilator1]

You mean hyperdictions I think
