Are you missing the fact that unpopulated alerts will go straight to controls if they're not stopped? They skip the invasion stage.
Thargoid invasion - Next target systems?

- Start date
Yes - I am missing that - makes sense - thx
It probably does make sense in most cases to accept a 1-for-1 swap of "recapture this control rather than block this uninhabited alert" should that hypothetically come up, provided that you then plan to recapture the new control immediately the following week if a complete victory is not assured.
(Since Alert defence and Control recapture have more differences than just their paper sampling-approach strength, that's very much a hypothetical case, though)

I don't know, I would say Taranis incandescence... that light have been always there, even the very first days Taranis was comming to the bubble.
Perhaps for the sake of your theory, I would expect something more "erratic" behaviour for Thargoid Pulse Waves.
After all, everything we've seen has been a "new donut attack", but yellow-ish/reddish followed by a high yellowish incandescent bright (as in the very first days), in place of blue one from the Thargoid Pulse Wave.
I mean, If people were there in the final minute would have seen Taranis cracking and tearing before the explosion... but what I saw was more some kind of attack (and yes, an explosion from 180km)... anyways, time to enjoy making theories. We will see the good one in a few weeks I guess.
One thing was that normal reddish glow in the inner cloud of an operational titan, but right now it's glowing whitish yellow like a small star—very different, and the pre-destruction glow was more likely fluorescence/ionization of the caustic gas than incandescence.
IIRC, the blue torus has nothing to do with the pulse wave, but is an area effect attack against intruders that are close to a titan.
I've always thought the blue torus was the Thargoid pulse wave generation seen from along side Titan, probably for the color.
I like how you sounds, "fluorescence/ionization to the caustic gas". This is part of the magic when we share theories. Pretty well written, I'm gonna enjoy/entertain myself reading the theories in the forum about if Taranis is alive, is not, why is or is not, specially if they are decorated with this kind of sci-fi words.
A pleasure to read you, and hoping read much other theories more!
Sorry, just got back from work. As far as KM-W d1-94 - 1469 samples so far, fear its been a slow burn. Forwarded combat pilots to just aid the alerts/controls as being pushed by others, will continue working there myself out of stubbornness/to get the higher requirements one out of the way.
Given its surrounded by current controls/invasions so can't threaten much, may be better for you to carry on and knock down other systems plural as it stands rather than throwing two or three systems worth of work into aiding the man tilting at windmills - it'll be a while before KM is critical for anything.

"Presumed destroyed"...
"Titan's status cannot be verified"...
That phrases in Galnet news...
My bet is, still we have work to do with Taranis. We hope to discover it before we have the other seven Titans down in the few next months.

We'll be able to visit in a few weeks according to the forum post about its destruction. It's hard to run recon when a caustic death cloud only few ships could make to hope it through surrounds the whole thing. (And an invisible pushback keeps you from getting closer than ~40 km.)
At best, Leigong will be down by then. Assuming the Thargoids don't figure out the magic of "Turn off your fusion reactors so your ship does not tear itself apart in the event of being unable to vent its heat off". (Which would still keep it out of the fight for a good while because they'd need to fix all that damage.)
Understood regarding Arietis Sector KM-W d1-94; we have just delivered a small finishing payload for Arietis Sector NX-U c2-19, and have just arrived to a quite nice 10.6% head-start at Arietis Sector BQ-P b5-2. As before, it will not be a completion amount this evening, so extra help is quite welcome—although not drawn from those doing so well securing HIP 9764, of course!
Insofar as we should have Arietis Sector BQ-P b5-2 done this week, that means M. Leigong will be at least not increasing its total systems, so anything other Alerts or the Invasion will give us a gain. Well done thus far!

Had to, you know, work to make money to pay for this habit. How is Leigong doing? I see the skinning brigade is on it but what about the titan itself?
Circle doesn’t look like it’s more than 15% down. Overwatch says 11 on the heart by latest update.
Cool. Some progress since last night then. Every little bit helps. It was 6% when I went to bed.
It'll probably go a good bit faster once it's been knocked down to High or Moderate resistance. And more people begin to arrive since it's showing progress.
I'm awaiting what the Thargoid side wants to pull out as its trump card. They're unlikely to just ignore a Titan either getting completely destroyed or crippled to the point of effectively being out of this conflict for good.

We do have the mystery of what is in the near singularity at Taranis to look forward to.

Very nice completions around M. Leigong, including its other Invasion and two more Alerts! Whether or not there are plans on the Alert front to take Arietis Sector WJ-R b4-1, that ought already to give Titan attackers much more efficacy next week, for which I am most thankful.
The very welcome mystery assistance returned to help with Arietis Sector BQ-P b5-2, pushing it from ~20% to ~35%, then our delivery left it at 80.9%. It is now ~85%, so I think the logical choice actually could be to join Arietis Sector KM-W d1-94:

- Presuming no revisit to Arietis Sector BQ-P b5-2 will free some time, and we can still return tomorrow if it actually were needed.
- The next empty Control along is HIP 9643, which I estimate will be decently over 6000 strength at 15.91 Ly, perhaps 6300.
- Arietis Sector KM-W d1-94 should be just over 10000 strength, but has 10% already, Conflict zones and a partial payload.
While hammering Leigong is all well and good, there are three controls at Indra that have reached the 80% thresholds. At this point in the week maybe it's better to go for what can be finished?
Why? Indra has 90 Controls - even if we take all 3 that's still massive (if the difficulty is related to Control numbers), and they'll be re-invaded in upcoming weeks
(Asking because I don't understand why we're still looking at multiple Titans rather than concentrating on one at a time now they can be beaten)
