It's regarding the keepstar we killed just today in FWST. We did it by trickling in LR dreads, and naturally we lost a bunch of them.

Keepstars are the biggest and most defensible space stations that players can build. They give an enormous defensive advantage and they are a great staging point for an invasion. They dropped one earlier but it was destroyed so they're trying again. If it onlines, they'll be able to bring their stuff forward and have access to the uuh.. 10% of delve they didn't from their previous staging.

Unfortunately they're apparently causingf massive Tidi to stop us from destroying it. I'm not up to speed on mechanics but I think you need to sustain a certain amount of damage on the keepstar. With Tidi, it makes it harder to do do and the timer is apparently not affected. Others can explain it better

We can only hope. Tidi fights are actually extremely chill. You get to hang out, read your book, and leisurely consider every salvo while drinking your earl gray hot.

Lock the FC's primary
Lock finishes 3-6 minutes later as primary explodes
Repeat 3-4x until you actually lock a target that hasn't already lost 90% hull
Press F1
Five minutes later, check outstanding commands window to make sure you didn't hit F1 twice, see nothing but calls for pilot bounty info
Target evaporates before your guns cycle
Notice you're missing some shield, but you don't see yellow boxes anywhere so you don't broadcast for reps, probably just a smartbomb
A few minutes later your shield evaporates and you're into half armor, red boxes galore (never saw yellow boxes)
Click your ADC, broadcast for reps, and cross your fingers (Logi is now perma-jammed, thoughts and prayers)
ADC never cycled, you're now in your pod, time to self destruct and re-ship
20 minutes later, your 2-minute self destruct timer finishes but you see a message about self-destruct being canceled due to "external factors" and you've not exploded
Try to warp to a friendly structure with a clone bay so you can dock and suicide there - oops, it's 90 AU away, time to do some laundry

After I finally managed to blow myself up back to 1DQ I joined a dramaqueen op because I'd had my fill of tidi for the day. Half the systems we ended up flying through were apparently sharing the node with SVM and in 10% tidi. :psypop:

fixed the logi part for you. I pretty much only fly logi during fights and its disheartening the amount of times i lock up someone just in time to see them blow up.

My thoughts are they're dropping them in a "inflict damage to the goons" strategy. If it lives, great, but the main objective is to do as much damage as possible. If they were trying to get one online, you'd see several go up at once, I feel.

I mean blowing it up cost you guys around 750b, so...

I believe a keepstar is 800,000 m3 so as far as I know only a freighter can carry one.
