Thargoid invasion - Next target systems?
- Thread starter Aleks Zuno
- Start date
Sol is an Alert system, incidentally!
And Cojico has vanished - controlled systems appear to not be controlled any more
Somebody break down the trailer for me please, I came back into the game during the end of the final phase of the war - definitely missing a lot of the nuance.
There isn't too much nuance. Cocijo has bolted from its system and seems to be headed towards a place where two small probes called "Voyager" are flying around. Incidentally, Sol seems to be in Thargoid alert.
We're doomed! We're all gonna die! Doesn't anyone think of the children?!?
It was a mistake adding Taylor Swift on the gold disc in 2906.
If the target is indeed Sol, there is just no way this isn't going to affect PP 2.0
Its going to annoy Archer for sure.
I'll definitely drink to that
It will certainly knock out (temporarily) probably the most valuable PP2 systems. Will be interesting to see how the leaderboard changes.I'll definitely drink to that
Further to that, Titan Cocijo is now visible on the FSS from nearby systems, in my case Col 285 Sector OS-T d3-130 very close to its original system. The FSS frequency is the one at the tiny little signal blip shown here:
From this position, that signal is some 10–15 degrees to the side of the Sol direction; this is the FSS view while pointed at Sol:
The Titans arrived originally in much the same manner as you saw T. Cocijo leaving; they have a space drive which is like Supercruise Overcharge but for Hyperspace instead. That moving signal I just pictured is exactly as the eight Titans were arriving, albeit without names at the time; they were only Unidentified Interstellar Anomaly. We should be able to watch its progress from systems out to the side of its path.
The video then ends with a quite nice comedic scene with Interceptors wondering what in the Galaxy is the Voyager probe. Anyone who has watched Interceptor behaviour for a while—especially around a Titan—will know that they love finding items!
Unfortunately the start of the video opens with a missed opportunity to show a Python 2 destroying the Glaive; it uses a simple Krait 2 instead.
Thank you for that very detailed breakdown!
By that line of thinking, Sol would be the ultimate treasure trove of exotic human items for the Interceptors. We're all doomed
If we're all doomed, it's a great opportunity to play the Doom soundtrack.Thank you for that very detailed breakdown!
We're all doomed
I don't see much direct impact on Powerplay from this beyond the symbolic - Barnard's Star, Tau Ceti and several other Archer control systems nearby mean that losing Sol purely loses Sol as all the nearby Exploited systems are cross-supported.
Of course, it depends what happens after that. Assuming the current Alert has a few extra zeroes on the end of the difficulty score, Sol has enough stations to keep an Invasion going quite a while. Or it could be tough but beatable and just a diversion.

Their previous travel was system-to-system and it took a few hops to get a solid idea of which way they were going. From BA-P c6-18 it should be possible to line it up to its first hop, at least?
They just come to Sol to collect the golden discs for their vintage record collection.
...and they want all the artist creators along with it - dead or otherwise
they will be very disappointed to find that there's no Miles Davis on those records....and they want all the artist creators along with it - dead or otherwise
From Col 285 Sector BA-P c6-18, its signal is moving exactly to Qinganu!
