Squad Update:
Tamor (win the war) and Howard (prevent the war by raising LSN influence) are top priorities!
Howard: raise influence of any faction EXCEPT AfterDark!

Galnet Update: https://community.elitedangerous.com/
New Supercruise Overcharge module enters the market, a “turning point for humanity”
Thargoid War
CMDRs either didn’t get the message, or didn’t feel like doing it, so Oya went mostly unattacked
Current orders for 11 APR - 18 APR
CONDUCT SPIRE OPERATIONS AT Cephei Sector XO-A b3
SITUATION:
We have 9 controls, including an active and a presumably-inactive spire around Oya
Goal is to hit 85% progress on controlled systems ASAP, then proceed to carrier-unloading operations
(85% is the cap of spire site influence on surrounding control systems, so at that point carriers will be unloaded)
Prepare to strike Oya Thursday the 18th; equipping TitanKillers with new 5C FSD and repositioning carriers within 10 LY of Oya is recommended
Dev news:
Update 18.0.2 patch notes: https://www.elitedangerous.com/update-notes/4-0-18-02
Highlights…
New Rating C Frame Shift Drive modules will be available. They can be found at a number of Outfitting services, especially in more technologically advanced markets, and these will introduce a new functionality: Super Cruise Overcharge.
Fixed being unable to add an experimental effect to pre-engineered 5A FSD modules (Issue ID 63452)
Added support for hardware with up to 128 buttons that is registered as an input device (Issue ID 1763) (Let's all go out and get some button panels! In honor of the new faster FSD there’s a sim racer button box: https://simracingcockpit.com/sim-racing-button-boxes/ )
Thargoid Highlights:
Adjusted Titan turret projectiles so they should no longer appear to "lag".
Performance improvements during multiplayer scenarios when the transition into meltdown happens after the core has been destroyed for the final heart.
Fixed instances of abrupt lighting change on the Titan Core when dealing damage to it. Titan discos are hereby canceled
Fixed the Titan Destroyed decals having flipped orientation on certain ships.

Many more than the usual/allowed number
Many are more than 10 LY from any control system
Some are in systems that were cleared yesterday
There was a Galnet update about it but hours after the fact. (timing?
In response, all AX ops turn to attack Oya now, in spite of high damage resistance
In spite of PFed messages, the rules no-longer apply and efforts to clear systems are wasted
PDES advises it’s pilots to bombard the titan since clearing systems doesn’t matter
Tissue samples already collected will be held on carriers to turn in after Oya is neutralized

Its hearts are falling fast
Taranis wreckage is now accessible however caustic sinks are still needed. There are new mats to be had (4 confirmed so far) and reports of deactivated Interceptors, as well as patrolling interceptors and hunters.

Update 18.0.1 https://www.elitedangerous.com/update-notes/4-0-18-01
(Fixes to Titan assault scenarios)
Remaining U18 Bugs:
Commodities screen no longer shows number of goods needed for current mission(s) (https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/63464)
Titan Rewards Update https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/titan-rewards-update.623673/
All CMDRs who passed through the Taranis system between U18 and Taranis destruction will receive the rewards. This is a one-off
To be eligible for the incremental Titan rewards you will need to do the following:
1) Have done damage to the heat core of a Titan within one week prior to it going into meltdown.
2) You need to have earned a minimum of 2M credits from hitting the core (You earn less credits from the Titan when they still need weakening and have a high damage resistance)
Don't forget you also receive Arx from taking down hearts and gain more if you are a top contributor.
Check your ARX payouts: https://user.frontierstore.net/arx/list
Seriously, check this. It might be a bug; shhhhh
Maybe worth noting: Taranis —which doesn’t exist— gained control of 6 systems today…
So…. TFG?

Apparently after 16.0.1 Scythe behavior has changed (AXI discord)
Scythe grinding is really hard now cause passive interdictions stopped with 16.01 (Hyperdictions are still taking place). The easiest way to find them now is to look for NHSS 4s in control systems. They will consist of 1-3 scythes plus a random guard of scouts or 1 interceptor, followed by another random wave of similar potential composition about 3 minutes later.

Dev news:
15.02 patch https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/15-02-update-notes.617439/
Fixed some unintended changes to ship flight characteristics in situations where rotational correction was active.
Enabling rotational correction should no longer have any impact on the flight characteristics of your ship outside of situations where it is actively correcting rotation (Ticket Reference: ID 44533)
Fix for players not being able to plot a route to settlements/ports through the POI panel UI (Ticket Reference: ID 59375)
Fix for pulse wave analyser not highlighting high resource asteroids in rings correctly (Ticket Reference: ID 50436)
Fix for insufficient number of targets arriving at settlements for Raid and Massacre Missions (Ticket Reference: ID 48424)
Fix for "Objective Failed" prompt repeatedly triggering when canceling an on foot mission (Ticket Reference: ID 50524)
The Frontline Turrets that protect ground troops have had their repair timer increased to 10 minutes (up from 2 minutes).
Note: The dev team felt that the existing 2-minute timer did more harm than good by preventing interesting interplay between ground and air units at conflict zones around settlements. This change will now allow Commanders with suitably equipped ships to make a conscious choice between continuing to avoid drawing the fire of the turrets or to actively engage them in order to open up a window of opportunity for ground engagement or assaults on dropships.
