What sucks for me is that I have not much time the next two days, family business, actually a nice one this time, so no real complaints – but: I have real FOMO at the moment, even though it looks like your usual invasion fare aka most systems will be cleared by Saturday morning and we can start bombing the Titan.

Yeah, after this Thursday's turnout, I think that it's actually not going to be the case that they'll all be dead by Saturday morning. 'Just' two or three of the twelve might be cleared, if that. What I can't say is if any of them will survive an entire week depending on just how many players get in on this (or how many of them fight in the invasions which can actually progress as opposed to fighting the Titan's forces directly in Sol, which I'm sure is fun with capital ship CZs and whatnot but has no meaningful impact on war progression, and then there's the Guardian melter field which basically means you use gauss with the immunity mod or the human peashooters).

I was wondering about this yesterday evening, when DCOH had 49% of CMDRs in Sol. But this morning that number was down to 20%, highest number was in Procyon (33%), so maybe herd effects will kick in and people flock to those systems with highest CMDR numbers which should speed things up. But still, 20% in Sol is big and this might prolong this battle long enough until the next server tick.

Take your time, I'm re-engineering my AX ships and need time to get and exchange the materials for it and Synthesis...

One of the reasons people are slow to come to the Thargoid fight is that there is a fair proportion of players news to the game or the type of fight.

To a bounty hunter, Thargoid fight can be a culture shock, you need first to understand how it works and that nearly nothing from fits to engagement tactics translates from one to the other...

Just out of curiosity: is anyone of you playing Starfield? The sub here is pretty empty and there's not much frequency in people posting.

Yes, I still do sometimes and there is quite a lot of people using Inara for Starfield. The behavior of Starfield players here is just different than for Elite, so it looks less active.

I guess they're busy actually playing the game, not goofing around forums or writing unhealthy amounts of fanfics.

But, yeah, on a serious note: it seems like Starfield just attracts people of some different kind.

Hey! I just played the game yesterday!

But I still want detailed character customization, Frontier. Not that I've got any particular irrational reasons to ask for the feature.
