Thargoid invasion - Next target systems?
- Thread starter Aleks Zuno
- Start date
It's been an ongoing problem ever since the CZs around stations were added - as soon as somebody docks, the interceptors (and other large objects like capital ships) start to rotate with the station, the same way wake signals started to behave many updates ago. Some people say the interceptors start "rubber-banding" or flying backwards, but you can chase them for several minutes and find you're not moving any further from the station - because they're not flying away in a straight line, they're orbiting the structure.
Victories in HIP 20485 and Neites! That makes five, and the course is such that around seven more can be expected. Haitchane joins the fight!

Victory in Pentam! It looks very much like time for M. Oya to get its turn to complete Lahua, HIP 2422 and Luggerates, while I remain at Yan Zangata for now. HIP 20899 is still a bit above projection for 12th with 1231%, though often this can slip in the last few days, so I would expect around 11 systems for now. HIPs 20616, 20948, 22524 and 8525, Nihal and Picenile join the fight!

Without ordering people around or being unduly pessimistic, I would love to know if there is anything I can do differently to help prevent that! I could be a bit more assertive if I think that a solo Commander should not invest but a decent group may have a chance. If I ruled the populated Galaxy, I would have ordered everyone away from the Community Goal the moment it reached the first tier and all rush to help.
In any case, I always recommend those higher-activity systems for first consideration next cycle, in the hope that Commanders looking for targets as good as any will be happy to reward it.

I've been ranking federation in Muchihiks, Stephenson Arena. Looking at your targets, progression in Muchihiks will get lost tomorrow...
Well, fortunately for my three secondary commanders accounts, the three will be rewarded with Federal Corvette soon. Probably two ones this thursday and another one for the Friday.

Victory in Yan Zangata! Two more systems are likely, and three look narrowly possible with HIP 20899 projecting 12th with 1209% by typical activity, though 1267% by available time. As always, it would be quite nice to spend only 100 on defending it, though no worries if it ends up costing 133.

Actually it is not too far from the threshold—
Muchihiks Invasion 28% — Oya 20 Ly, 3 ports, 210k Ls planet attack, 1228 Ls planet + 2946 Ls planet damage
That makes it at least a recommended target next cycle, if not a surplus candidate this cycle. That said, I have suggested to many Commanders now that attempting to coincide navy ranks with war systems is generally a poor prospect. Filtering populated systems to view those with a high number of factions with a specific allegiance already gives few candidates, and then also requiring an Invasion present would give fewer still and typically none. I consider that sparse enough that it would be as well to disregard the war and instead invest reputation in a good Shop system with many Federation factions and run Wing Assassinations, or the quickest missions you are able to complete.
To use this cycle for specific numbers, I count 37 systems which have at least six Federation factions, and I think only one of those (HIP 20948) has an Invasion. HIP 20948 looks like it has only some planetary ports at 55k Ls from entry, but would its six Federation factions interest you compared to having only two in Muchihiks? It is worth noting that HIP 20948 has 4% progress, but next cycle it will still have 1 port remaining, so you could defend that port while completing missions there. I can understand passing on it for evacuation though, given the distance involved each time.

To follow up that last update and to give you something sooner, I went ahead and got this done first!
The URL (simple GET request) is https://iniv.space/intra/data/intra-war-cycle.jsonl and a quick schema description is at https://iniv.space/intra/data/#war-cycle
Basic format is JSON lines / one JSON object per line, with fields for matching the system/cycle and reporting the progress/source.
By all means let me know if it could use any obvious changes (looking at the "cycle" and "updated" fields here, hopefully those are good enough to avoid merging a report for the wrong cycle).
The contents there will update following a full scan, which will be a few times per day.
It should be fine to reduce computation if you want by using HEAD to check the Last-Modified, or use a Cache-Control header and check for HTTP 304 vs. 200.
You can also ignore a report line if it contains "src":"DCOH" - that happens if the progress updated during a scan and the new value reached DCOH already, where the report system is happy to use that imported progress entry.
You could update the progress from lines with "src":"INIV" if you want, though I think you have it covered once a system has that initial progress reported.
The real value will be if/when performing a full scan catches unreported progress in a new system, so you can check it out and take it from there.
Outside of responding to suggestions here, the existing fields are not expected to change, though some may be added in the future.
For example, I left out its active port information for now.
Victory in Namayu! Activity is calming ahead of the final half-day of the cycle; Luggerates remains within reach, as indeed does HIP 20899 given unrealistic expectations about any day of the week being comparable to any other, though with ten systems already I would consider it quite fine to rest a bit instead.
Muchihiks is on the cusp of the surplus activity buy-in, though realistically anyone at M. Oya will be defending Luggerates followed by Khondo Po. The prospect for Muchihiks may be better when its closer starport is attacked, notwithstanding ongoing Thargoid movement problems associated with Commanders being docked.

I think it would be great if you added to your post something like:
SOLO COMMANDERS, go to _____ and FIGHT.
WINGS, go to ______ and fight.
I'm usually a solo commander playing for a few hours at night.. so if you tell me where to engage, I'm there!! Thank you for all your hard work on defeating these BUGS!

Thank you most kindly for the confidence vote, and the intention is very much not to command anyone explicitly! If you are looking simply for a target where your activity will count for something, progressing the top targets will help increase the number of systems we can complete, but it is your choice whether to do that and exactly where to go. For example, with only a bit of time per evening you may wish to remain close to a particular Maelstrom. This does not change for Solo versus Wing.
In general, I suggest checking the list and considering your present position and the remaining cycle time before making your choice. For example:
- I have a preference for Imperial space, so I spent most of this cycle at M. Hadad to help defend Vogulu, Neites and Yan Zangata (now all complete!). All were within the top ten, so it was fine to help prepare them for completion later without having to chase the present top target across the bubble.
- I moved to M. Oya for Luggerates, which may not necessarily complete this cycle, but being above 33% means that it is as well to add more for next cycle. Notably Khondo Po is also nearby and I imagine Muchihiks will have a closer attack as well (less time in Supercruise), so I may stay around M. Oya for a bit.

And thank you for keeping these lists updated. Your efforts are appreciated.
Luggerates closing soon; my new Fer-de-Lance has been quite lonely there at Morrison. Kagutsuchi returns in one day something close to its previous Alert progress level along with Putas, fresh Alert activity spotted in HIPs 21991 and 19781, and joining the fight are Ge, Poqomathi and Yukait!

Victory in Luggerates! A storm of activity is occurring at HIP 20899, Kagutsuchi and Putas, all of which should complete comfortably. More new Alert activity seen in Ceti Sector DB-X b1-3 and HIP 38225, and we have HIP 29596 and Khwal joining the fight!
For anyone interested in Alert activity, we have HIP 21991 emerging at M. Taranis. Alerts are proving to be a risky prospect due to their one-week nature, but enough dedicated Commanders moving there at this early point in the cycle could prime it for a place in the order of completion.

HIP 30260 Invasion 14% — Hadad 29 Ly, 2 ports, 3713 Ls planet attack, 3717 Ls outpost damage
Ge Invasion 8% — Taranis 28 Ly, 5 ports, 45 Ls planet + 5593 Ls planet attack
HIP 21991 Alert 6% — Taranis 26 Ly, 1149 Ls starport
Additional: I forgot to mention that Ceti Sector DB-X b1-3 is, very interestingly, unpopulated. Short of checking that system personally a bit later, does it have workable signal sources which can be used to fight Thargoids, or have some enterprising Commanders been crazy enough to summon Thargoids there via hyperspace destabilisation?
For anyone interested in Alert activity, we have HIP 21991 emerging at M. Taranis. Alerts are proving to be a risky prospect due to their one-week nature, but enough dedicated Commanders moving there at this early point in the cycle could prime it for a place in the order of completion.

I'm doing Ceti Sector DB-X b1-3, just to test it out. There are enough signal sources to keep busy most of the time, though the occasional drought occurs, which I use to make deliveries. The stats I got last night which gave a pip were:
Deliveries to Rescue Ship at Tarach Tor:
Black Boxes: 10
Wreckage Components: 29
Occupied Escape Pods: 24
Damaged Escape Pods: 14
Scout Tissue Samples: 8
Thargoid Hearts: 1
Kills:
Scouts: 29
Cyclops: 3
According to the UI, only the kills count, but I'm not taking that on faith, and judging from the numbers, I would expect the salvage to be counting as well.

Victory in HIP 20899! Kagutsuchi clearly is next for those still at M. Indra, after which the non-Hadad systems below are the next useful nearby targets. HIP 20948 and Patollu have returned, along with HIP 23716 part three for the return of Wakata!
For what it is worth, the repeat Invasions are a sign of holding the front to some extent. I say this very much ahead of the Alert at Muruidooges maturing into its fourth Invasion next cycle.

Thank you! Excellent investigation and report numbers, as well as ultimately the news that unpopulated Alerts are no longer completely empty. I will jump to a few randomly-selected Alerts tomorrow to be sure of that, then put this into the possible actions at the top of the thread.
As a curiosity, which starship were you using? I can imagine a heavy, though personally if I were doing that then I would want probably a capably-built Krait Phantom to help with reaching the Rescue Megaship—unless you had one vessel for salvage operations and used another for the Megaship run.

Tarach Tor is only 70-some ly away, so the megaship run is doable in most ships. I was using a Cutter, and hiding behind its shield for the various internals (it will blow up before its shield goes down against thargoids), equipped with human AX weapons to be able to repeatedly pop Orthrus (though I didn't run into any in this run). It doesn't really hold up against the quartet of interceptors that sometimes shows up at the repair convoy signals (I managed 2 of 4 cyclops before having to bail), or even a basilisk with my skill level. But picking up salvage, gathering tissue samples, popping scouts, and killing Orthrus and Cyclops are all doable for an extended period of time without needing to stop for repair/rearm.
I did a bit more today, this time only pulling human salvage (in an Anaconda, so I could actually stop in the debris fields). I delivered the following additional salvage to Tarach Tor without doing any other tasks, but it required fairly extensive relogging to redo signals:
Black Box: 18
Wreckage Components: 54
Occupied Escape Pod: 43
Damaged Escape Pod: 25
This didn't get another pip, but it did jump from 4th to 2nd on the most-progressed list, so salvage DOES work in unpopulated alerts, even if the UI doesn't say so. Though looking at it now, there are now 2 pips, which means either someone else is working the area now, or the pips update on a different schedule than the top 5 lists. (Or, I supposed, the first update was from when I was halfway done unloading salvage)
