Alongside AIR1, the order is complete!
Thargoid invasion - Next target systems?

Alongside AIR1, the order is complete!
Well, 7k buy order down, 11k carrier capacity remaining and been asked for another target by them no less... anywhere else that would be, acceptable/positive to take out this week?
-- initial skim, raised Col 285 Sector RN-T d3-78 to take out the future attacker as seemingly best option, not heard back from them though so I may've been a bit late for evening comms.
How many bonus targets will we get through each week... well, gives more time to prep the harder systems later i suppose.

The general best option is simply the next-weakest system, which by definition provides the greatest increase to the strength value of the next periphery, or to the periphery after that if a Spire site appears. Non-peripheral attackers in a week have more priority that week if it is reasonably economic to do so, and there is some value in choosing not necessarily the next-weakest if it means not having to move the Carrier! Finally, a system may be simply useful to recapture if it will have nice services, or give good asteroid-free Carrier parking.
Regarding economy and as an example, it makes little sense to stop an attacker such as Omumba (27942) this week because its advance of two (including the stopped Alert) costs more than simply advancing four, which it would be as well to do instead. In a more dense Maelstrom scenario, it can be also bad if a deeper cleared system then becomes a target later.
Aiming for the non-peripheral attackers for next week is not a bad idea, although given that they are not attacking yet and do not advance the next periphery (nor any periphery in the context of a fully-planned collapse which already marked them for manual removal), once again the value of delivering one week later comes if a longer respite interval would help in a dense scenario.
Col 285 Sector RN-T d3-78 will be a peripheral attacker—or indeed, has become a peripheral attacker thanks to the absolutely amazing clearance this week—thus loses that priority aspect. As the second-weakest though, it is still a good strength increase! Said increase consists of comparing the cleared system (6731) to the incoming system (7805). It is also closer to your parking spot, albeit just about on the edge of jump range for a harvest vessel!
AffaGammaRanna here, I parked a Carrier with 1200 samples buy order for Col 285 Sector RN-T d3-78 on my
"Bitcoin Valley [H0X-BHK]" in Col 285 Sector RM-B b14-2.
(for samples from target Col 285 Sector RN-T d3-78)
We will delivery next week when 85% Spire is reached.
Thank you for all the help!
Regarding Col 285 Sector RN-T d3-78, I imagine it will be clear tonight instead:
- Between @Grimscrub and AIR1, it sounded as if it is a target this week.
- It has already 24% progress delivered!
I have 1200 samples for Col 285 Sector RN-T d3-78. Want those delivered tonight? I thought it was for next week ;-)
28% now. I'll try to add a few 128 deliveries to the rescue ship this evening (many hands make light work and all that)
Yes, please deliver those! I had planned originally to clear that system next week, but clearance is moving so quickly that it will be cleared tonight instead—anyone holding Research for Col 285 Sector RN-T d3-78 should deliver it as soon as feasible.
Thank you! I would like to discover how much @Grimscrub has before setting out as a full wing, but we will get it finished even if the answer is zero samples. 28% now and 1200 on its way means that at most 3647 remains!
I did not have full info - there are precisely 0 samples for RN-T on my carrier, flat situation was that I had been asked for another system as a suggestion at midnight on a workday, and offered what i could see before I passed out.
I'm going to go get Col 285 Sector KW-M c7-2 delivered already now that I'm back from work, rested and all.
That is quite fine! V has sent INV Astral Flame on its way to Col 285 Sector RN-T d3-79 with an open order for Col 285 Sector RN-T d3-78, which should cover the remainder from the delivered progress plus held progress. We will also start collecting there at some moment within the next hour; that system will be completed!
AIR1 are still delivering so, that was Outside the 1200 already gathered/any INIV started gathering in the last hour and change i believe?...
Between that, the 7k just Appearing suddenly for first system I was covering this week, few thousand partial order being filled silently for Astral Flame before...
The support is appreciated mystery forces but, would love to hear from you, know who to credit/have the heads up to avoid over-sampling for a given target =p

Indeed—we had barely the arena ready, so that delivery comes very thankfully sooner rather than later! I could not possibly ask for more this week in the context of starting anything anew, so for the moment the presumption is relax-time instead, Galaxy map surprises permitting.
Maelstrom Hadad, week 75
Notes:- 100% peripheral progress is desirable to remove two Spire sites Col 285 Sector KW-M c7-15 and HIP 31223, both being attackers.
- Most Commanders are attacking the inner Col 285 Sector US-Z b14-7 to achieve this.
- Direct progress in peripheral systems can wait until they reach 85%; consider non-peripheral progress in the meantime!
- By all means post if you are completing a system, and whether an open Carrier order is involved.
- The planned clearance will leave two Control in week 78, with the option to clear it or to attack the Titan. See below for other outcomes!

* Projected to attack after this week 75.

*** Projected to attack after week 77.
1. Only versus Muruidooges, which will be attacked anyway.
Other possible and quite expensive outcomes:
Clearing one more will save time next week by moving Col 285 SectorKW-M c7-7into the periphery.Clearing two more will leave three Control in week 78.- Clearing three more will leave two Control in week 78.
- Clearing four more will leave one Control in week 78, the Spire system HIP 30439.
- At great expense, clearing five more will leave zero in week 78 and allow use of Col 285 Sector US-Z b14-7 to do it.

Are you sure about that high a demand for Vogulu? As a peripheral system it will reach 85% just from Spire actions, after which it needs only 654—and even that delivery may be racing against Commanders completing missions!
