  • 3-13-24: Titan Taranis destruction yields extensive data for research projects - 4 new mats to get in the Titan’s afterman discovered so far. Also reports of deactivated (or maybe unmanned?) Thargoid Interceptors.

  • Leigong was dropped to just 3 control systems and “compromised” damage resistance

    • 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. 

  • Speculation on what these new mats might be used for?

  • 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?

Squad Update: 

  • The Front - Wars in Cempsigi and Yemaia, we want to win those. 

  • The Other War - We have a war in Bagalis - Our friends The Exiles (Utlagarnir) have been working over the last month or two kicking the controlling faction out of the system altogether so we could stay in 2nd place. They need to beat us on their rise to first place in the system. Either help them or do not hurt them. 

  • Calarum Cooties - We're doing nothing in the Calarum War. Consider the system quarantined with the exception of being a destination for missions from other systems.

  • Ross 310, still a bit on the warm side, no other over-heaters.

  • 5 systems where we are actively trying to raise influence

  • Still holding off on another expansion while waiting for another faction to land and then some moves and prep occur

  • Details in Bloomingwind’s standing orders

  • Rescue ship movement didn’t go off as intended

  • The ships that weren’t supposed to move vanished completely leaving active missions unable to be turned in; a circumstance that was supposed to be prevented by the staggered movement and mission production of the ships as they move in waves. 

  • Oops (as of thursday; probably will be resolved by showtime)

  • Update 17 planned for October 16

Discussion:

  • AX pulse wave scanner has been upgraded, though there is no method to retrieve the pods yet

  • CG to gather supplies ahead of the influx of rescued human pods fails to reach tier one but galnet says that the amounts were sufficient anyway (CG=not even superficial story impact)

  • Some CMDRs receive messages asking for help investigating Rackham

    • Mine has a typo, I think: it says Rackham’s suspected crewmate “...disappeared around 3992…”  Surely they mean 3292?

We want to win the rest, but, we want to win Bagalis slowly, over 7 days to help our friends Utlagarnir with their Machinations. They are going to help us in Cempsigi because they triggered that war by accident.

  • 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.

  • More thargoid behavior changes since hunters showed up

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.
