Wow, that sucks :/ is it just Asterope, the whole pleiades, or even beyond (coalsack and whn)?
Thargoid Attacks: Where, When and What you can do about it
- Thread starter Factabulous
- Start date
Just Asterope, no NHSS. I still fought for it on PS during the 7 sisters war, as did SQ42 in opposition. And a worthy, open only, war it was, with great honour on both sides
so is thargoid hunting still a "thing"? If so, where?
Pleiades
Depends how hard a fight you want. Pleiades is ok, the number of NHSS has been stable for a while, mostly threat 3-7. Witch Head has seen a drop in high sources and hyperdictions according to reports from AXI. The Coalsack Nebula is where they are really ramping up, with a higher proportion of 8s and 9s than anywhere else. No hyperdictions there AFAIK but they are probably coming.
Oh hell yeah! We are getting rich as well finally
thanks and o7
...i don't think there's much point to brng a fighter along for AX, is there?
Nope, they can kind of distract the swarm for a very short time but are a poor AX choice.
figured as much. Another thing: my krait in its standard "cowboy bebop" setup has almost 700 DPS; when I mod it fo AX that number goes down to somewhere around 85... Wouldn't 700 DPS in "conventional" weaponry be better than 85 DPS in specialized AX weapons?
That depends on whether you're going against scouts or vs interceptors, but tl;dr; is no:

The Information Problem
This was initially supposed to be a part of the big post on the many problems with weapon balance in the game, but I am too busy to compile it in full. Here I will talk about what I believe to be one of the core problems with the game, at least to those, who take it seriously. It is how the...
I don't know why this happens, but it's 5-10 times easier to kill 1 heart with Cyclops than with Basilisk with the same weapon...
And they are back. See latest from Galnet. I thought it would be at Xmas but it wasn't and a US member of my squadron asked me last week "what is it with you Brits and alien invasions at Xmas?"
Obviously I had forgotten to take into account that the Dr Who Xmas Special is now on at New Year.

Also stations have been attacked, so if you prefer rescue ...

Betancourt system down to Signficant, others haven't changed. Looks like it may take a while, though I don't think any of the systems have any additional bases to lose so that is not a problem.

I just visited the Thargoid structure on HIP 19026 B 1 C. It looks a bit different from what I had seen so far, it has not the three main structures inside the spiral I have seen on other sites but looks more like a very old thin skeleton in spiral shape. On one side of the central part I found a "Thargoid-uplink-device". I haven't seen this before. Surely, this is already known to you? I could scan it but got no message or data.
