Thargoid invasion - Next target systems?

2nd Titan down, Python Mk 2 now 
? 
? 
Aegis haven’t even announced that the wreck is accessible or that we should go poke it for new tech for them (or our resident Thargoid expert Palin - providing he doesn’t don a corrosion-resistant suit and tries to dive into the stuff head first).
If the Python Mk 2 is related in any way at all to stuff found in the debris of the Titans I'd guess we have to wait until the CG is announced to get stuff to make stuff for the Mk II.2nd Titan down, Python Mk 2 now
I think there's only one game player that would do something like that but Leeroy Jenkins doesn't play ED.
It was a joking reference to a silly response I received in the DCoH discord once when I mentioned bringing an Orthrus sample to Palin but getting no comment on it, and the answer to that was “He probably rolled in it”.
(Just to clarify.)
Well done to all—and thank you all for turning out to stop the two Titans which had lost their original means to clear them again!
Speaking of which, if you would see the next-closest prospect T. Oya reach a feasibly weak state, then it will need for a while weekly peripheral progress from attacking the Spire site at Lyncis Sector WU-P b5-0. Obviously less remains of this week in particular to make use of that, and it has a few non-Control systems wanting attention instead, but quite soon it will become mostly just Control in need of Spire support. This week at M. Oya, and behind a few Invasions elsewhere, we have:
HIP 6913 Invasion 46% *47.2% — 20 Ly, 2 ports, 350 Ls outpost attack, 2255 Ls 0.14g planet damage
HIP 8525 Control 22% *22.3% — 18 Ly
Aowicha Alert 20% *20.1% — 24 Ly, 4350 Ls starport, 1760 Ls planet
HIP 7338 Control 10% *10.1% — 19 Ly
HIP 4041 Control 8% — 19 Ly
Bumbo Invasion 6% *7.9% — 22 Ly, 0 ports, 378 Ls outpost damage
Gliese 3050 Alert 6% — 26 Ly
4% more peripheral progress at HIP 3006, BD+77 84 and Cephei Sectors FB-X b1-1 and ZE-A c8.
Separately, INIV has been stemming the Control spread at M. Hadad; we gleaned very little at M. Leigong last week due to the excellent response from everyone around, but now the quieter environment at M. Hadad has given us a better start to visualising the 3310 empty Control strengths:
Those junction-points are working very well within the 20–30 Ly range; at 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 Ly, those are 7020, 2450, 905, 382 and 355. Recall that inhabited Control system strengths appear unchanged. If anyone is willing to help with strength-testing, quite useful will be measurements at empty Control system distances 14.9 Ly, 10.1 Ly, 9.9 Ly and 5.1 Ly.
For anyone new to that and likes the idea, this means collecting and delivering to a Rescue megaship a payload of 50–100 Research samples, then revisiting the system after ~2 hours to observe the progress difference listed in your journal entries. Reporting the prior progress, payload size and posterior progress gives us a possible strength range for the system, where a higher payload narrows the range. Assuming that background activity does not interfere too much, these then form junction-points as shown above!

Pod rescues help (marginally) with inhabited counterstrike systems if handed in to any rescue ship. Leigong doesn't have any of those left, so it won't have any direct war effect this time.
I actually remember a video of someone actually doing that (rolling in the sample that was much to large for him to pick up or put in his SRV). It ended up exploding before he could actually hand it in. Looked like a lot of work for a laugh. The laugh was still worth it.
Anyone know or remember who that was?
We've done it a few time on Ghost Giraffe streams, usually when there's fresh looking cargo containers and we did joke about doing that with the new titan debris.
For Palin specifically we did it here:
(near the end 2h 26min in)
That's the one, thanks for reposting.
Well back to endless blue fancy graphics so clearing the cache didn't help. So I can't respond with quotes. I might be able to respond with a normal reply. Leeroy Jenkins, if someone doesn't know is a reference to world of warcraft. Specifically a joke incident of a group of players going on a raid.
Ahoyhoy all, I just added the new strength numbers to the INIV targets page, set to show for cycle 58+.
Any closer than 15LY will just say >7020 until we know more, for now looks good for the Oya attackers though if you're hitting those.
Nothing to see at Taranis and Leigong, I need to get around to changing those just to show what's left instead of what they'd have attacked

My cmdr was there grabbing pods till the last second yellin "I can still save them!"
I saw it in the system chat too. I would’ve wanted to get more than what I did in that last hour but the annoying realities of life plus the stupid constant interdictions got in the way of that, or I would’ve missed the show.My cmdr was there grabbing pods till the last second yellin "I can still save them!"
Not that I can say I was as impressed as when I saw it happen with Taranis. Or really get that “great victory” feeling you’re supposed to have.
I missed out on Taranis due to said life reasons so didnt get the decal or anything that may come with being there for all 8 unfortunately. My cmdr hit Leigong pretty hard the past couple weeks figured he owed it to those still trapped to try or at least be with them at the end.
Almost every mod on my cutter was fried, silent running somehow turned itself on and it took a few reboots to get my fsd back up. For some reason I thought it would only be like a pulse wave but I guess being next to a small supernova does hurt a bit haha.
The pulse a Titan emits when it goes down actually shuts down your FSD and sends it into a (very long) reboot cycle. Whether that is intended as a 'lore' feature or just something Frontier put in to keep the player where they are while the fireworks go off - you be the judge.
Where will you people gather to attack Axzones (high intensity) around Oya systems?.
There is any "hotspot" full of players fighting against Thargoids?

Here we go!
