There'll be plenty of Spire work after Oya falls.
For now it's bombing runs.

Thargoid invasion - Next target systems?

Ok.
So now, in your next message post list of ALL squadrons which do it.
After it compare size of "just list" with average galnet.
And after it I will blame you, because I'm sure, that you will miss some squadrons
Players can complain that they "ignore community", but brutal truth is simple.
Credits usually go to the biggest/loudest groups.
And as people which coordinate this whole effort- you certainly are good group to take credits for this giant effort.
When we first cleared M. Taranis, I was so acutely aware of the sheer number of Commanders involved that I would have felt terrible mentioning a single name while also omitting any other; this was what I wrote:
The speculation also turned out quite well, the answer being that there was supposed to be a final battle after clearing the systems, but update 18 had not arrived yet and it was almost time to enjoy Christmas rather than worry about that!

Dear Aleks Zuno
I am thoroughly confused.
You are on Frontier Developments staff, correct?
Why does the Galnet message "encourage" free commanders to hunt Orthruses in alerted systems, while You ask to do the bombing?
Please note, I am not asking what is more efficient for war progress. Until recently I did not even know about this forum and "coordinated effort". So I would simply follow in-game messages and I am pretty sure there are more people like that.
They are not. Frontier chose to pin this post due to its usefulness, however.
I’m with you, finding this thread has been a godsend. Been away from ED for years and I needed something to get the juices flowing again and thanks to this thread and EVERY SINGLE CMDR who’s posting on here (hope I’ve not missed anyone out
) it has done just that. I’ve found my niche and hope it’s helping, I’ve not got a clue about 99% of what I’m reading but I can’t stop reading it. ELITE has always been the most important game in my life, as a kid the original game blew me away, as an adult ED has taken me back to being that kid and then some and it’s great to feel connected to it again. It’s all thanks to you bunch of muppets 
on here so keep up the fight it needs every single one of you.
No plan for Alerts, no; if it helps to know, we could clear away most new Control systems if given a 85% periphery next week, perhaps with another drive just for Cephei Sector WO-A b3. Alerts are not ideal, but if needs must—do any of those 21 systems have Carriers serving them? That would be best for helping without overlapping!
I wonder—without more misbehaviour, 21 systems means that the next periphery would reach as far as Baiabozo in position 7. Up to two more Alert systems could reach up to Inara in position 5, although further than that would be a mistake unless it becomes another six systems to reach all the way to the core. I suppose the only purpose of pushing it to position 5 would be to guard against more Alerts in two weeks, noting that more Alerts every week would be quite senseless in keeping any Final Ten out of reach.
We're working on the outermost alerts as are others after we chatted with AXI, XSF SNPX and others tonight in a Discord conference. Those who can attack Oya go do it, those who want rescues do our current target at HIP 20527 and those wanting to help sample the Alerts at Oya begin at the furthest and work your way in. That's our basic plan.
21 of the outer alerts will get cleared. Approx 10-11k samples. Will leave us with enough breathing room to address the "final" tactics. For a second week of attacking Oya. Hope we're at least 6 hearts in this week, if its indeed not dead
Puts the carriers in a bind that are holding week 71. Something to consider when spire activity will need to be done at one point =/

Well, I've been at it for solidly for nearly 5 hours in open, 25 mil in CR rewards. It is carnage LOL!!!
I've got to be honest, looking at the progress so far . . . I don't think Oya will fall this week.
I could be wrong . . . I hope so . . . but whether we want to or not . . . we may need another plan.

Okay! If we stow the Titan vessels tomorrow evening, I could choose one of the stronger incomplete systems and deliver frequently so that progress is seen sooner—unless the Cloudbase is deployed in the meantime, of course!
Tougeir is also moving notably, and this is now something one has to watch very closely! 21 may be your plan, with an unexpected 22–23 also being fine, but 24 exposes the Spire site to the possible mistake of clearing it too early. That consideration is at least easier than the original M. Leigong clearing, which also involved choosing which new attacks to allow!
Definitely the entire Titan outcome rests heavily on participation:
- To compare my solo Cutter attacks, ~40% core damage here gives me typically 2.6–2.8 million credits, quite decent and a little under half of T. Leigong which tended to be a bit over 6 million for the same damage.
- On its final ring during that Saturday rush, I remember T. Leigong was losing something like 1% per minute, so the same at T. Oya ought to reach up to 25% per hour and become possible within a week.
For the moment we are handing in one run at a time to get some numbers - we figure 334 at 40.31Ly but that's ballpark until we know we can eliminate other pilot contributions but our own.
Once we get further in and start hitting higher numbers I'll start doing Buy Orders.
Meanwhile if those people sampling in the Oya alerts would let us know where they are, that would help to avoid duplicating any work.
Currently hitting the Titan but have contaminated compounds ready to go if Spire deliveries would be helpful.
Definitely save the compounds for next week! They would be squandered this week on helping the relatively weak Alerts beyond 30 Ly, whereas next week will become another Final Twenty scenario, assuming no other rule-breaking attacks.
Does "war" have rules?
I don't ever see an aggressor announce ahead of time that they will be using a new tactic and discuss it in detail, is this expected?
Simulations have rules!
Including ones we didn't know about, it seems.
