Oh no !!!!!
The Thargoids have hacked Galnet!!!
I wish. [big grin]
Oh no !!!!!
The Thargoids have hacked Galnet!!!
not a chance. they will never attack the wider bubble. Too many that have no interest in the goids would leave the game in droves if core gameplay is disrupted and the devs know that. Y'all need to dial your expectations back a whole hell of a lot.
Just outta curiosity but isnt sol a mostly Fed system? So apart from some misguided sentimental reason, why would an Imp help them?
Im not huge into the role play, although Im getting there but that thought just occurred to me as the most obvious. So does someone wanna correct me and set me straight about why sol is in any way relevant to a non fed? The loss of life is hardly a concern considering we are already at war and life is cheap in this universe...the thargoids are threatening to do the very thing we are trying to do to them.
So I ask again...why should I help sol when my loyalty lies with the empire? Would they help us if the thargoids were on our doorstep? Food fer thought ^

Galnet are Thargoids.

Each attack brings them closer to the bubble. What do you think is going to happen when they're right at our doorstep? That they'll just... stop? That would be pretty anticlimactic. There are dozens of thousands of stations in the bubble, we can afford to let a few burn.
If the attacks continue at the current rate, the point at which we'd really have to be concerned about things is far beyond the life expectancy of anyone reading the forums, unless you happen to be a recently hatched giant tortoise or a Greenland shark.

There are about 67,000 stations in the bubble at the current rate of attacks (2-3 a week) that gives us around 20,000 weeks or roughly 384 years until the last station is goneMaybe you haven't been following the news very closely. They're getting close, and fast.

Ah, okay. I didn't realize the point "at which we'd really have to be concerned about things" was the point at which literally every station in the bubble is destroyed. Personally, I'd be concerned quite a bit before that if a few high-profile stations were hit. It's also pretty likely that they're going to start attacking more than two stations per week, if they do hit the bubble.
If it was strictly 2 stations a week the figure for complete loss of all station would then be well over 600 years. I would be extremely surprised if anyone was still playing ED 600 years from now. The rate of attacks may change, but the current trend is a slow down in attacks. If we go up to 10 attacks a week it's still going to take more than a century to take down all of the stations. Even at 100 stations attacked a week it would take more than a decade before everything is lost.
Looking at the galaxy map, it seems more like the 'goids are headed for the Guardian Ruins (specifically, Hyades Sector DR-V C2-23) rather than Sol.
Wonder what will happen when they arrive at the first Guardian Ruins site along their path?
