- boarding expectations titan
I doubt even Frontier would fathom of creating all these mechanics just to chuck them out. There's not even a lore reason the Titans couldn't continue existing at important locations in isolated Thargoid territory.
Since all the thargoids have names based on greek mythology and titans were not the most powerful entities, there's still room for us not to be done just yet.
Besides, all we've done is defend ourselves from their attacks. I don't think we can say we're really done with thargoids until we start pushing them off their worlds (or whatever it is their actual territory consists of).

Let’s just assume this thermal core beating is only one stage of “Fight the Titans”. Do you really think they’re just going to sit there thinking “Welp, humans have torpedoes now, I guess we had a good try”?
Spoiler alert - they won’t. I’m just not sure what forms this will take. But if they had any non-hostile plans for the abducted, us being idiots might change that. Well, I guess they should have expected us to fight back against the Titans directly, eventually, but that doesn’t change the fact that this will probably just make them really mad.

Well the pulsey thing in the middle is now flashing red at Taranis. No idea what that signifies but I suppose we'll see later tonight perhaps.
it's only a problem if the center starts glowing red constantly and starts saying stuff like "I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me. And I’m afraid that’s something I cannot allow to happen."
Need something like a specialised Python Mk II to do that...
doubt that will happen, since thargoid fighting is the only content they've been reheating since 2017, i bet they won't stop now
they will just go back to the old abandoned ships or slap some titans on far away systems for people to blast while they release "deliver diapers for the elderly!!" CG's for the next year or so
but i can't wait for the end of this so we might get some actual content, they've stretched like 6 lines of a storybook(while reusing assets that exists for 5+ years) for the past 2 years, every update was months apart with the new feature being so tiny the only thing a sane person would think is "is that it? that's the whole update?"
but sure breaking the system delivering tissues nonstop in an unbalanced way was fun for some peeps and thats what matters i guess

Our scientists at Inb4 have just pulled together all of our knowledge of Titans and created a series of simulations that accurately estimate their potential death cries:
I'd be happy just to make it to the titan and find it isn't bugged out and I have to relog and battle through the cloud all over again.
Don't think I've managed to get to a single non-bugged titan battle at taranis yet, so probably no reward for me despite hours of putting up with interdictions and caustic clouds over and over again only to get there and it's bugged.
Maybe FDev should give us a special "bugged" decal...

First we caught and destroyed their completely peaceful drones. Then we went into their territory and harvested alloys from their alive barnacles. Then we...
But yeah sure, we totally just defended ourselves.
It's simple!
We could just have korean mmostyle "storyline", where all of 10000 players are "heroes which will safe word by slaying demon X"
/s
For me? Very, since instance was full of scouts, ceptors and even hunters. It was like old good space CZ but on steroids, since enemy had capital ship with defence turrets and special attack.
But I seen in that scenario something more than people which just shooted to core for few days
It's story, deal with fact, that you cannot be a part of example Gnosis crew during failed jump to Cone, or explorer of distant worlds. Time flow, and titans arent world raid, where you grind over and over for fancy helmet.
While I stand by a lot of what I said earlier about the actual titan fight being subpar, a lot of the stuff surrounding it has been the right thing to do given the circumstances; unlocking modules, banning glaives, announcing things in game to make sure people don't miss it.
It's not fun because the fight/gameplay itself is fun, but it is fun to hang out with a wing in larger instances if it doesn't break. You are in theory and practice able to hang out in the asteroid field and stay safe to repair and recover. The fact that the titan is hard to get to motivates that, but since repairing takes so long and involves mostly staying away from the fight it's not that feasible without spoiling the fun (for me) but if you're more patient or just like to watch the show while your ship repairs then it's not an issue.
So this is one of those cases where it simply being multiplayer elevates the gameplay massively and makes for epic and memorable moments. It's still very much doable solo and there are technical issues due to multiplayer sometimes and it could be even better with better gameplay to rival the azimuth saga finale in HIP 22460. Overall it's still only ok on a relative scale, but if you want to find things to like about it it's probably best to try to do it multiplayer (in a PG as suggested by FDev itself).
One thing I noticed that changes in multiplayer is that turrets are more worth taking out since they take just a few hits and there's not an overwhelming amount of them if you have enough players and it saves anyone who gets focused a lot of headache. They respawn every cycle, but the couple of seconds it takes to clear them while you're stuck waiting for the vents to pop off isn't too bad.

The why of it would be an interesting look back at the game's lore (and there is the debate of who actually started things: thargoids with probable abductions in the 2800s, or the human attack on a thargoid structure in 3125) but that's not what I'm looking at here. Although yes, typically over the 200 year period humans have, on balance, been the aggressors. So I do get people wanting to have an in character motivation not to be involved in attacks against the titans or thargoids as a whole.
As to what I was referring to and for the player sat in front of the PC, we can't say thargoid gameplay will be removed from the game until some kind of mechanic exists to attack thargoids and remove them from control of systems and we go on to successfully do that. Whether that will be added to the game is up to FDev. They have however obviously spent a lot of time and effort over the current gameplay and it would be nice to see that stay in some form.
Bless your heart...
