I'll open it if Thursday comes and the state changes. Would not surprise me if the progress decays every day, similar to super-power reputation.
We are winning, the tide has turned HIP 23716
- Thread starter He$$eeTant
- Start date
You can all thank me, it changed just after I got back from dropping off my last 10 escape pods and returned to complete a transport mission with the last 4 consumer tech.Looking at what the system has done now? Yes, that's a bar which needed one more tick.
This is what it looks like now, which is not ambiguous.
Yes yes yes it was my lowly little sidewinder that turned the tide and won the day.
tats my story and im stickin to it.

As long as it doesn't mean having to ferry all those people back again....
The graphic has already changed and seems to be locked in now, so all is fine.
Oh there will be a refugee return thing, it goes without saying but they need to rebuilt the Stations first. Although we're unsure how it works yet. HIP 23716 had one port active, so I presume the other ports (not sure how many there were originally, if there were others) will have to be rebuilt. We also don't know what happens to the population and the minor factions.As long as it doesn't mean having to ferry all those people back again....
Be nice if we could get this one over the line as well, and see what happens there next week.
How many other systems will be lost?
A quick question (not sure anyone can answer it yet): there's currently Systems that are Thargoid controlled but have a progress bar and a Destroy Thargoids bit of text undernearh it but they also say "Can be Recaptured in 2 days". So what would happen if that bar was completed this week? Surely on Thursday, these Systems can be attempted to be won back? So what's the current bar for?
Edit: oh, I think it's the reset mechanic and bad wording again. I think it just means another attempt can be made

Closing in on 200 systems affected, and you got one win today. Again Melchett is pleased.

Takes about 70% of all of Inara's registered commanders to flip one system.

I can't imagine the hilarity that would have been on Thursday if everyone had just stopped and moved elsewhere! Good stuff. That's much clearer.Looking at what the system has done now? Yes, that's a bar which needed one more tick.

I would like to say I see us winning but all I see is a tiny battle won (maybe) and a long long way to go to see anything that looks like winning. Will be lucky if we can call it a stalemate at our current rate of "winning". But, maybe ...... this small victory will inspire other pilots to take a chance and join in.
Well yes, that's to be expected. It's at least some evidence that the difficulty level has been shifted away from "completely pointless bothering doing anything right now." The expectation is that it'll get easier in the future, if FDev aren't trying to railroad wiping out the Bubble anyway. It'll also be interesting to see if concentrating on a smaller system next goes faster.
Just to correct - it's ~70% of the Thargoid war participants on Inara, not all Inara users. It seems there is a lot more of commanders that do not care about the war (yet).
