HaraldsenMaybe the Titan was moving that fast the breaking maneuver turned out to be rather complicated, and it flew by Sol and had to return.... and I am by no means referring to my own SCO flying style here
Don't tell me it had overshot the target by a longer distance than it was there before. I can't believe that thing is even worse than I am with the SCO. At least it's able to fly in a straight line!

Some call it the loop of shame. Others prefer to qualify it as a tactical braking maneuver to throw off pursuers trying to interdict.

... and the cinematic appears to indicate it smoothly looped around in a close orbit anyway.

May I suggest not letting Duamta fall just in case that has any negative consequences. You know, with the Aegis headquarters there and whatnot. I should also mention there is only a week in which to defend those systems.

And damn it people just don't turn their crime report off!!! DANG IT!!! I'm this close to flying in solo.

Ummm.... just how screwed is the bubble right now? Am I seeing eight active titans on the map currently? Or are the seven other ones just marking where the old ones died?

The Cocijo in Sol is currently the last remaining Titan. Others are still on the map, but if you open their info pages, they're shown as 'destroyed' and all you can see there are their stinking dead decomposing bodies ruins.

seven of em are dead. The last one is being desperated.

And this “event” is not impressing me much so far, if these are just standard shitty invasions they are barely going to last past the weekend.

I'm re-engineering my Corvette for AX Hunting, I'll post the link to the fit for advises.

Any AX CZ anywhere? I'm not really expert at fighting Xenos, best assisting in CZs...

Oh, Yeah, Q: Is the Bi-Weave shield engineered any good vs Thargoids? I'm thinking ENHANCED LOW POWER - GRADE 1 ︎ FAST CHARGE...

Indeed. I'm very concerned that this is going to be over before I have time to invest in participating.
(I continue to be annoyed with the whole 100% and "thargoids disappear" invasion mechanic. I want a little more video game in my video game; sacrifice the story a little for the sake of gameplay.)

And it seems there's no Community Goal? So... my reward is just wracking up Thargoid kills as if it's a regular invasion on the fringes?

Drop into any system with the Thargoid icon on it in the GalMap, select a CZ in the Nav panel, fly to it, pew-pew.
Also, on the flight there or before you even leave your station: turn off "Report Crimes" in your right panel "Ship" tab.

Focus on survivability for your first AXCZs. Don't worry about kills; practice heat management and damage control.

Happy hunting!


And, again, turn off "Report Crimes".

I would suspect there's a CG coming after Cocijo explodes? Relief efforts for Sol or something. But I do agree that a CG around this invasion would've been nice, something that you can participate for the next two weeks. Otherwise it's all FOMO. I only think that Sol will take two weeks, clearing all invasions and making Cocijo vulnerable.

Loop of shame in Titan style?
