Thargoid invasion - Next target systems?

Indeed looks like a pro build for cold orbiting.. I have not yet managed to accomplish that with my Xbox controller (which I continued after the console profile transfer, because I am so much used to it). Resembles the old Gluttony Fang FDL builds, except for the modshards and the caustic sinks 🤔I like the FDL and tried to use it for Orthrus farming, but I get away better with the Krait 2
My playstyle is very far from the conventional FA off “cold orbiter”. It still works. All I can really say to that.

And I don’t think the FDL is the greatest choice for Orthus shooting because of four C2 hardpoints, while the Krait has the C3s for that size of missiles or what have you.

I indeed have the C3 Sirius missiles for that, on the Krait 👍
 
Based on a new empty Control measurement at Col 285 Sector TS-Z b14-8 giving us 35599–35605 strength at 9.459257 Ly, the 5 Ly junction appears to be around 164000. This estimates Cephei Sector WO-A b3 next week at 62799, or 9420 for 15% of it, but moreover it raises a question about populated Control systems—those were 160000 at 5 Ly before!

We have to be sure ahead of next week, and we will have more Control measurements coming later this evening—two populated and one more empty.


Moved the line from just under 50% to over 50% at hip 20492. I know its indra, but well.

With M. Oya being only Control remaining, honestly any Invasions are quite fine! Invasions always were the most lively systems with everyone having something to do, and it is not the fault of anyone here that such never really translated over to Alert or Control.
 
Looks like Glaives have not yet abandoned their shenanigans around attacked surface ports. Just had a trio drop by, but luckily they were polite enough to wait until I was done dealing with a Medusa. Minor disruption as I just wanted to finish the missions to take one out for tonight(else they’d have expired).
 
Does the Banshee actually have a hit box?
I tried ramming one an went straight through a couple of times...
They're intangible if you're in a ship, and there's a couple of settlement layouts where they can spawn without having their usual weak spot.
At the other settlements where they act "normal", they can be fooled into launching their sticky bomb barrages onto rooftops and then flying over them, killing themselves.

Control estimates are updated within 5–10 Ly, including for the M. Oya inventory:
  • As before, both 5 Ly junctions look to be 160000, in practice set to 160400.
  • From the 5–10 Ly side, both 10 Ly junctions looked as if they needed to be very slightly higher, now at 20480 and 59900. This affects predictions in 10–15 Ly; all exactly-known payloads this week are still above 15%, and Ardhri may fall ever so slightly short if it was 4086 exactly or perhaps 4100, where the prediction is now 4123.
The actual recent measurements are:

Apologies for all the fiddling; it was a bit spurious having to raise what seemed like a quite good 10 Ly junction, but to be the best it can and serve everyone involved it needs to represent the results we see! Actually it feels as if there is a discontinuity around 10 Ly, or even that the junction-point could be slightly beyond 10 Ly in the domain.

Thank you, and list is updated! I was just now going to mention that, but you noticed the system progress in advance.

Similarly for @Shayan al Nasarwa, the payload for Cephei Sector AF-A c9 is clear to deliver!

Additional: INIV will stockpile for the large target next week, HIP 21165.

Goodness; that is very much a video for @Alec Turner!

Speaking of Spire sites, well done to everyone besieging Lyncis Sector WU-P b5-0 and Cephei Sector XO-A b3—at M. Oya everything is nearing completion this week with only another 5% needed, after which the only further actions are simply stockpiling payloads for next week.

Slightly ahead of all the others is Sambaho, for which @PapaDragon_I is now clear to deliver!

Additional: With over 18% stored, @Thordeas is also clear to deliver Cephei Sector AV-Y b3.

Thanks, I saw it already ,,, it's fantastic isn't it!
 
The [SNPX] Resolute is empty, all 2800 samples have been delivered.
However only 3/4 or 2/4 were delivered before the tick. So 544 or 1.296 samples won´t be taken into account for the progress this tick.
o7 and glory to mankind

After a quick tour in the past 15 minutes, seems we have a green light on delivery for all 5 remaining systems.
