I decided to head over to HIP 22460 to watch the fireworks for a bit. I've never seen a capital ship fighting Thargoids.
I wasn't sure what to expect in the CZ, and I don't have a ship set up for fighting Thargoids, so I just took my Vulture. It has good shields and hull, and I wasn't planning to actually fight. I just wanted to witness the event.
It was quite a spectacle. I docked at the Bright Sentinel at first, to get my bearings.
After looking around the place a bit, I headed for the High Intensity CZ nearby, where a capital ship was fighting. When I arrived I could see the battle taking place.
The place was swarming with Thargoids, but they didn't notice me at first. I flew around just taking it all in for a while.
Eventually some of the scouts noticed me and attacked. I was fast enough to outrun them, but they still tagged me with some caustic stuff and my hull began to disintegrate. You can kinda see the caustic stuff on my ship here, although the shot is dark.
I decided to jump out at that point. I made sure to overheat myself at the first star, to burn off the caustic stuff. I survived.
So, some pretty exciting stuff going on over there. I'm not sure where it all will lead, but it's interesting.

Interesting!
My Krait II has been fitted out for fighting scouts, what with AX MCs and decomp limpets etc. I may scoot over.
What am l upto.?
Took some time off the bubble and I'm out In the black again.
Only this time I'm multitasking.
Exploring, exobiology, and mining predominantly deep cores.
But the reason why I'm out here is to analyse mining. Its changed.
Yeah we got double haz rez.
But their plagued with pirates etc. Fun if that's your thing.
But l like old school solitary mining.
So I'm mapping bodies with rings again to find a triple deep core which yeah I know doesn't increase the yield. But it definitely increases the amount of cores you find. They may not be all whatever the triple is...but there are lots@@!

If everybody actually heads back over there, I'll head home, get the Challenger and head that way as well. Maybe we could all hook up and take 'em on.
Yeah, sorry, but that's incorrect. It just increases the chance that the cores you find are the given material.
From the PSA on EliteMiners:
Hotspots do NOT have higher amount of cores. They give higher chance of those cores being the "title" mineral. You find equal amount of cores anywhere in the ring. In fact, it's advisable not to go to the center of a hotspot, because many pilots do so, and leave a lot of blown up cores (you see them as small clouds), which will re-appear after six days.

Absolutely
Just got home to Deciat. The entire place is a conflict zone. Seriously. 3.5 screens of them.
So anybody looking for a fight, come on over. We're full up here.

I'm on a roll today!
Those are really cool pictures, seeing the firepower up-close of an Interdictor or Farragut Class battle cruiser, very rare indeed. I noticed some of those Anti-Xeno guys don't run shields, they use repair limpets and AFMU's (got lots of mats and frees up power). I wish I was there, I'd be right in the middle of it being a n00b. Don't care how many times I got killed, unless they capture me and sew my head on a Chihuahua body.
AX pilots don't use shields because they use a combination of silent running, heat sinks and thermal vent beam laser to keep heat signature under 20% so Thargoid Interceptors cannot target them to shoot at them. No amount of armour and shields will stop the fire power of top tier Thargoid Interceptors. Repair and possible decontamination limpets are to patch up a bit if they do manage to hit you. Silent running is also to heat the ship to 150% to burn off acid as an alternative to decontamination limpets.
I find it all too much to coordinate with flak launchers for the swarm and fixed mount Gauss cannons for Thargoid hearts.
That dog has spooky eyes, nicely groomed though.
I keep throwing grandes in error. Sometimes it really hurts and I have ask mummy for a plaster...
Anyway, I did this just now:
I'm so l33t.

The fitting UI.... cannot comment on EDO, but EDH, definitely pain in the butt~!
So there is a war going on in the Bubble against the Thargoids? At 30,000 LY away from the bubble and 3000 LY below the plane, it seems soooo far away......nothing but emptiness and quiet around here.
Anyway, I managed to tag an extremely difficult system to reach via a conventional ship (in a fleet carrier is extremely easy, but the challenge is doing it in a conventional, albeit extensively modified Anaconda).

Here are some images of this system, 3301 LY below the plane:

Neutron star at Synauloo AA-A H0 and the black hone in this system The galaxy above, total darkness below Greetings! After months of planning and mapping the vicinity of this system, I was finally able to reach it with a conventional starship, the Victoria, on April 7, 2022 (or 3308 in...

Is that dog related to you? Kind of a resemblance, must be the jaw line.
