Squad Update:
Wars in Imiutli and Xians (AGAIN)!
Election in LHS 3980
Operation Red Dawn - ADI is pushing hard to retake control of Arinna and G 130-9 and prevent takeovers of the other three systems we’ve targeted in retaliation. Our goal is, by removing systems with res sites from their control, taking away bounties as a source of BGS currency
No systems overheating, some are tepid
Thank you to everyone working hard in the BGS, ADI’s new management has been keeping us busy so thanks to everyone, we couldn’t do it without you.
LOTS going on with Squad right now, get involved, we don’t bite.

Update 18.06 coming May 28 https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-update-18-06-thargoid-war-overhaul-tuesday-28-may-2024.625728/
Thargoid war activities rebalanced to more correctly weight them
Combat is significantly more influential
Interceptor kill bonds increased to around pre-nerf levels; Orthrus reduced to 15m
Spire site effects restructured to be linear and more fairly capped
Counter strike system marking partially reworked
Titan vulnerability is now a two tier system:
At 3 controlled systems or below, the Titan will be vulnerable to attack
At 4 or above controlled systems, the Titan will take almost no damage from attacks

Engineering rework and pre-built ship packs
Engineering: - Some of these areas we are investigating are (but not limited to):
“To make engineering more accessible and predictable”
Reducing the number of materials required for Engineering.
Increasing payout of engineering materials from missions.
Increasing backpack capacity.
They are watching feedback
Pre-built “jumpstart” ship packs:
Buy with ARX - upgraded/unlocked modules - themed cosmetics

This video is just the Elite section about PP 2.0
Direct link to Art’s recap at the end
UI overhaul to greater accessibility
More BGS/Thargoid war-like mechanics to do with distance between systems, etc.
Most game actions impact power play, not just pamphlets and kills
Rank system rework, no decay, new leaderboard
Carrier groups in stronghold systems can be attacked
So it doesn’t require opponents to be in open
Launching with open/solo as it is currently, but they are watching how it goes and taking feedback with the option to adjust and balance this.
