The Massacre of Socho - Thargoid Scouts need a buff?

JohnRoberts · Mar 17, 2018

So, the Socho combat CG is complete after 2 days. 1860 commanders took part, and 3,600,000,000 Cr earned. On the basis of that this was mainly Thargoid Marauder Scouts, each paying 10,000Cr, this means the Thargoids lost maybe 300,000 ships.

Three hundred thousand Thargoids lost to the combined forces of less than two thousand commanders. I'd suggest we have that station renamed "Thermopylae", but did we even lose any ships? Maybe "Turkey Shoot Orbital" would be more appropriate.

Anyway, let's keep fighting, and get the other CG completed.

I really was looking forward to joining this goal. Sad it's already over.

Yaaaaawn.

I don't know - they seem to be pretty much on par what I and other commanders have expected. Though, little bees, danger in masses.

Yeah, I only got about an hour on it last night. It can be frustrating if CGs complete before the weekend. This one was too easy (and people like pew-pew).

Lol no, that wasn't from scouts. Regular Cyclops my dude. You don't need to fight in that system, so we went to pleiades and killed a lot of them making av. 22 mil per night.

I think that's why the CG completed so fast, Fdev set it up for us to kill 300000 Marauders, but a lot of CMDRs turned in the higher bonds from Interceptors etc.

As being new to the Xeno hunt, when I found a good loadout for my ship, one of the CGs already completed.

The Scouts don't need a buff, but maybe the GC target does. I am losing credits as my repairs cost more than the rewards. I even unlocked the meta alloy hull to reduce the damage, but only offers 3% caustic resistance.
