thargoid

The guardian SLF's, those little fighters introduced a while ago to fight the thargoid menace. Hybrid technology that was meant to be effective and swift. Sadly they are now -or never were- useful against Thargoids. Since update 15 arrived, thargoids have...changed their strategy towards us...

My goal here was accurate, comprehensive info and realism. Can I have ice cream now? :D

Now yes yes I know this post will most likely be taken over with Starship Trooper-esque "OnLy GoOd BuG iS a DeAd OnE" But here me out... what if the people who are Pro-Xeno got like... literally any form of content for the first time since the game was created? Anti-Xeno people have always been...

Hello all It's seems that not only do we have new weapons to fight the Titans, the wiz-kids in xenology have also developed sophisticated algorithms to calculate the strength of each Titan individually. Each Titan has a Damage Resistance rating which appears to be directly affected by the...

I've just released part 2 in my series on Farming the Thargoid Spire Sites for Credits, this one is called Bashing Banshees! I hope it's helpful.

When Stargoids first showed up, I really thought a bunch of people tried to intercept them and go out and see what they were. But after watching a few Elite dangerous vids lately and asking in a few discords, everyone was like "yeah no one has ever intercepted a stargoid." and I was like "Wait...

I have been trying out the guardian fighters recently after a long time of not using them and unfortunately they have become useless. First of all, too weak to even withstand Thargoid damage (No idea why they are not protectetd against phasing damage if they have guardian shield). Then all...

In light of the recent observations within the AXI community regarding the erratic behavior of Thargoid Interceptors, we're launching a comprehensive data-gathering initiative. Commanders, your expertise in the field is invaluable. We urge you to contribute by submitting video footage of your...

Hi there all o/ (Images below) So I've been mulling over this for a while and it's finally gotten to the point where it annoys me enough to talk about it. While some people enjoy the Odyssey engine lighting because it makes things feel 'more realistic', a lot of things were ruined by the change...

The Glaive is the first Hunter class Thargoid to have released in elite. It's since gotten a lot of negative feedback and I'm here to suggest how it can be rebalanced to be more fun and fair to fight. 1-Make it not have aimbot regardless of heat The glaive is able to hit you regardless of...

A first look at the NEW THARGOID The Scythe! It's a new Hunter-class ship with a purpose different to anything we've seen before. What do we know about it so far? The Scythe is a new hunter-class vessel arriving in Update 16. It has a very different purpose and behaviour within the ranks of...

It's been years since tech broker been added, and since then all the new fancy toys added in tech broker have been 'purchasable' modules, that you pay certain amount of materials for ONE, instead of paying materials to unlock it for future purchase. I was not really complaining about this...

which interceptors have the caustic missiles? - I know hydra does. - Hydra yes -medusa ? -basilisk ? -cyclops have never seen it used if it has one. -Orthrus no

Commander Groovy Groydis stood proudly at the helm of his resplendent vessel, the Gold Member. Its golden exterior shimmered in the starlight, a reflection of the commander's heart ablaze with passion. He was a man of rugged charm, his eyes filled with the fire of adventure. Today, his journey...

In counter-strike systems, we are asked to engage in combat zones, which could be outside planetary bases, or in orbit. Unlike Alert systems, there is no way to rearm or repair when fighting in these arenas. If you do leave to repair, the instance is reset and progress is lost, unless you've...

I’ve noticed that whenever I’m about to get hyperdicted by a Thargoid, there’s almost no camera shake and the jump just feels ‘smooth’, whereas a regular jump has lots of camera shake and feels ‘rough’

First off, credits here: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/13e6wgl/managed_to_boost_up_to_the_scouts_at_an_abandoned/ Sidewinder & scout size comparison. Now on to the juicy part of my post: There's a human in the image above, can you spot him? Ah... there's the cheeky...

at 12:00 mark it gets hyper

Anyone else remember Pogs? I could really use a slammer here.

o7 Enjoy

I read on a wiki that the term "Thargoid" comes from an early blurry photo of an alien ship with "THARG" written on it - is this canon? They were presumably fans of the "2000 AD" comics back then, although have undoubtedly moved on to "Homes and Gardens" by now. Do we have any idea what they...

Welcome to "Oya Island" System: Cephei Sector ZZ-Y b3 Code-Name: "Oya Island" Distance to Mealstrom Oya: 14,94 ly Cephei Sector ZZ-Y b3 - occupied by the Thargoids - was recaptured by brave commanders of the SNPX in the cycle of 20-26.04.3309, thus forming a...

The lore of elite dangerous is nothing short of great and interesting, but player seem to get bored because there is no further story elements that are being pushed. For example : Thargoid Communication signals. Missions about running cold to thargoid territory to capture Behaveior Studies...

After the revelation that a new Thargoid "thing" was coming into the game, what do you think its role could be? Personally, link to its size compared to interceptors, I would think more of a kind of fighter, accompanying something bigger. And you what do you think ?

Enjoy!

I can do that. It was my standard hull tank DBS but with anti-Thargoid weapons on it. It went... shall we say, nearly well. Boy, that thing minces normal hull armour. Did it though! Another dead bug 💪 Source: https://youtu.be/mLde81FPTYs

If we organized a community effort to all go to a singular Maelstrom and begin a week-long campaign of destroying all of the caustic generators, would the cloud dissipate? If you kill enough Orthrus in a system, it changes the state of that system. Does it stand to reason that the same would...

Okay, so I realized that these features have been out for years, but I do have some things I really want: Alliance and Independent Faction Capital Ships: We have not gotten any for the Alliance, and with Thargoids, I would like to see some in CZs. Preferably from Lakon and Faulcon DeLacy...

I finally took the plunge and dipped my toe into the AX arena (having killed lots of NPCs in my flying career thus far). Predictably enough my first outing ended with a rebuy, but I had some interesting things happen along the way, and I think I learned a little. I wanted to start slowly...

First off, I apologize, this is a repost. I put this in PC but someone suggested I bring it here instead. I have an idea! Certified tinfoil! So, the Thargoids got their name from first contact when we saw an alien ship with the word "THARG" on it's hull. We haven't seen communication like that...
