Thargoids heading for Li Yong space...

The attacks need to happen in real time with instant and real time effects on the stations damage level.

I know, I know, multimode multi instance jibber jabber.

It's not actually hard to get around that though.
Just imagine, just as you are about to go in through the mailslot, your ship's voice goes "Frameshift anomaly detected.".

Exactly. So awesome.

Also, at the same time, the flight controllers start going mental over comms, you recieve an inbox message from the Pilots federation (as do all commanders) about the station coming under attack by Thargoids, and needing to be defended.

The next entire day has waves of thargoids coming in for attacks while players try to defend the station.

I mean... yeah
 
Two things motivate commanders like nothing else. Appealing to their wallet. And appealing to their wallet. I hope the many-legged honking flower-people rip through the bubble and trash vast areas so people can come onto the forums for the first time ever to have a big old vent about how dare Frontier ruin their immersive experience of endlessly pinballing between two stations with cargo.

Vast. Areas. Do it.

But, let's be honest; at the speed the thargoids are moving, the next century will roll over before anything of note happens. Frontier either need to escalate the threat, or come up with a new strategy. 2-3 stations a cycle is so low impact as to be, well, irrelevant.

Now; if the many-legged honking space-flowers roll over several systems at once, then that'll be far more interesting. But do we think Frontier will do this? Beuller?

I was ok with this, and advocated they make Sol a flaming volcanic metal rich world.

Then Ray Gateway, my home base appeared in their firing line. Now I still want to see the bubble burn but want Ray to stay ok, somehow.

But if.it means losing Ray to see havoc wrecked, I guess I'll be ok with it. If mildly annoyed.
