It might just be generic sorts of lines that they will use to explain how post-war tech changes mean colonisation is now something carried out by players rather than by Super Powers.

Personally when I read that I was expecting new 'Thargoid PP and PD' unlocks, as lots of AX ship possibilities are limited more by the power requirements than the other factors of the ship build, but unless there is a planned 'Phase 2' to the war I agree that would be of limited utility, and not of huge interest outside of a week's CG amusement.

I'm sure there will be more to come to this Thargoid war, but what and when is pretty much in the stars right now. Figuratively as much as literally.

We've also waited long enough for the Titan salvage CG to be kicked off, really. It was first hinted at... idk, maybe it was around the time that Thor went? I can't remember.

It was definitely around the time of Thor's demise, because I remember the week post-explosion when Thor was unapproachable I went to Taranis to work on my build for scavenging, assuming that the CG would be the first week when Thor's remains were accessible, but extremely Caustic.

Aren't you missing a few small decimal points of the final %?

(I'm just being silly)

But maybe they would like to throw in a curveball to the Titan becoming vulnerable (providing they will set it to be). If it's just to make the players choose which outcome they prefer to occur in the short term (and I guess then leave something to do for when the Titan is gone or the other way round, shoot the Titan after clearing the diversion, should it not use it to do something else).

I presume they're not going to give it legs to Alioth or Achenar, anyway.

WISE so-and-so to follow within minutes.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we did it. Barring any unforeseen circumstances [read: FDEV arbitrary rule changes], the Titan should be vulnerable from Thursday on.
Great job!

I'm thinking that if there's going to be a curveball we'll get warning of it in a Galnet post the day before ("Strange murmurings coming from the Titan" or something), otherwise I think we're good to go on Thursday, and whatever they have in mind will come afterwards.

That's also why no NPCs. Thargoid Controlled means everyone who was there is now dead.

ok yeah that's what i figured but wanted to make sure it wasn't a mistake in code ( aka bugged ) just like the no LOOT in settlements thing.

Although now i'm wondering if that was by design as well? ( aka working as intended ) - Although , imo, if Thargoids killed all the NPC's , wouldn't the NPC's loot & items still be left behind in lockers & containers & such ? Not sure what use a Thargoid might have for 'Hush' drug, for example.

Then again maybe the caustic bombs just simply obliterated ALL the loot & items?

i could also be over-thinking this lol

Yeah i'm hoping FDevelopers have something shocking ( or at least interesting ) umm in store for us pilots....other than more "kits" to buy with ARX. :(

p.s. Quick newb question for you or anyone: How the heck can i go upgrade ( not the blueprint, i mean the Experimental part ) my Power-Plant to grade-4 at 'Marco Qwent' in Sirius system if i can't even LAND at his base anymore??? Unfortunately i haven't unlocked the higher engineer 'Hera' yet at Los system.

Do i really just have to wait until next week ( or whenever ) to engineer my 'Flow Control' thermal load experimental now ironically on my new AX designated Mandalay?!?!
( i'm not complaining so much as i'm legit curious asking btw :unsure: )

Maybe they make a big bonfire of all the stuff they don't need. I find it's best not to look at it too closely, that way rabbit holes lie.

Cocijo is exactly where it wants to be.
It hit paydirt, and is trawling to the max.

Just because a Titan eclipses anything Humanity makes doesn't mean the Thargoids place as big a value on a Titan as we do.
They might consider losing seven Titans to get Cocijo where it is now as their "good price-performance ratio" equivalent.

Would explain their "cavalier" attitude - in not moving the other Titans at all.

Exactly. For all we know they're saying "knock yourself out monkeys, we got a thousand more where they came from but if you think your futile gesture of defiance means anything, you do you."

Felicity Farseer can put an experimental on a power plant until you get access to Gwent again. Later on you'll unlock Hera Tani who can fully upgrade it to grade 5.
