Analysis and Forecasting for Red Alerts in Cosmic Exploration

3/11 Update: Maintenance ended early and the FATE notice appeared almost as soon as the servers were up. Many thanks to the fourteen sleepless souls who carried us through to victory! Oizys upgrades are now complete.
Log a Red Alert
Our forecasting is only as good as the data we can capture. By submitting a solid report of a Red Alert on Primal - Excalibur, you are helping us more effectively track and calculate the arrival-windows of the next Red Alert.There are two ways to log a Red Alert:Option 1:
Submit a report using the @ExcaliburRedAlert ping in the #ce-alerts channel of The Coeurl (Primal's Hunt Discord).For best results, please use the following format:@ExcaliburRedAlert [Zone] - [RA Type] [RA Variant] [Start Time in XX:00 format] and include a screen snip of the in-game Red Alert notification bar if possible.For example:
@ExcaliburRedAlert Phaenna - Annealing Winds A - XX:39
Not sure which variant/type it is? Run up to the indicator NPCs and check their speech bubbles for hints, then compare against the chart on the wiki! Click to view the Red Alerts article

Logging a Red Alert on the form or in The Coeurl is very important; however, there's an additional step for updating the forecast tool and that's a manual task, primarily handled by Melodic up to this point.We are seeking passionate data botanists who are comfortable with spreadsheets and have solid attention to detail to be additional trusted caretakers of the forecast tables, especially during the later night hours of North America.Note: The base sheets that feed the forecast tool drive off of the US/Eastern timezone.
