Thargoids heading for Li Yong space...

With the current levels of income, LYR discounts no longer matter anyway.

Eh, I disagree. 15% off plus the Elite discount makes a significantly cheaper ship, especially when you start bolting on modules that cost more than the ship itself. Plus it lowers your rebuy. Regardless of "levels of income," anything that keeps more credits in my pocket matters. Bear in mind I am a 2+ year CMDR whose net worth is a relatively measly 1.89 bilion.
 
Ray is my home base, with my whole fleet pretty much there. Leave it alone goidz....

Mine too!

On a serious note, what actually happens to your fleet when a station gets attacked? Do you still have access to the shipyard? Or are you stuck in the last ship you happened to be using before the attack and have to wait for the station to be repaired?

It gets relocated to a rescue ship.
 
If they hit Ray Gateway, there won't be enough Cutters and T9's in all of inhabited space to haul that salt away.

Not so much with Ray Gateway.

If they hit Jameson, though, you will hear one directive from the Pilot's Federation regarding the Thargoids.

At their current speed - IF they chose to attack all Assets - it would take them how long?

67,704 Assets, some 67600 representing the bubble.

At 4 per week, that's some 316 years to "conquer the entire bubble". 3.16 years to conquer 1/100th of it.
I guess that could be called a Non-issue.

Brilliant, thanks for doing the math.
 
I think it would be very unwise to extrapolate the Thargoid's heading, based on their progress so far. Why? Because all you are actually doing is following the line of the Aegis Labs, which was of course determined by humans, not Thargoids.

Where they go, or what they do, next is very hard to predict.

How's about we step out of character for a minute.....

Fdev controls where the 'Goids go. Right now, they've only attacked stations with Aegis labs, and considering the tech in the labs, I don't blame them being a little trigger happy, if it means not having to deal with anti-goid WMDs later on.

And considering Fdev bang on about narrative, I would guess going off this path is unlikely at best...
 
We can't defend a station so there's nothing we can do about these scripted events. :(

Exactly this. All we can do is watch and see what FD is going to do vis the Thargoid. All we can do is make futile attempts to repair stations, do Thargoid-related CGs, and fight Thargoids in RNG-determined locations that as far as I can tell make no difference whatsoever.

So get some popcorn, sit back, and watch the show.
 
Why didn't the Thargoids bother to erase all of the Guardian bases? Do they really hate Aegis more than Guardians?

I always assumed the Guardians (currently) known bases were all abandoned ruins. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the bugs themselves wiped them out in the first place. Assuming this is the case, no need to go there anymore.

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?

Rats. Out of rep.

Out of rep, again.
 
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.
