Well… sort of. The moment of shooting Taranis is over and it’s currently busy trying to stay alive long enough to evacuate any Thargoids and ships that remain onboard. Or it sure looks that way.So, did I miss the party?
Well, as stated, the shooting is done, but after you've made it through the corrosive cloud, it now seems to be perfectly safe to hang around the ailing thing, and wait to see what some portion of 30GB worth of fireworks might look like, 15-ish hours from now... Got there a moment ago myself, just to do some disaster touristing -- looted the beach for some seashells and protected wildlife eggs, whilst I was loitering about, anyway...So, did I miss the party?

Picked up one of those lifepod prybars too, in case those are still around, but can't seem to figure out where to use it...

Hmm... I play solo... maybe NPC behaviour is different between modes, for some reason..? Every Thargoid scarpered in a straight line, right out of the launch tube, while I was there, and there were several rescue ships covering me with plasters, over my tiniest self-inflicted bruise...

You have to ignore the location indicator since it's jumping around like a mad rabbit and just fly straight at the big red cloud when you first drop at it. You'll see one section of the storm that's a bit redder and rounder than the rest with more lightning in it. That's your target.
Scan the surface with a pulse wave xeno scanner, they'll show up as glowing green spots you can target & hit with the extraction missiles. Just dropped a load of pods off at a rescue megaship, seemed appropriatePicked up one of those lifepod prybars too, in case those are still around, but can't seem to figure out where to use it...
That's funny. Judging by the reactions, many do.
Wow, that triggered you. And let's be sure about the mechanics: Update 18 dropped on 26 Feb. That's 3 days of being able to actually damage a Titan until destruction. I can recommend learning to count.
It was the short version Premier - another 7 big parties to go.So, did I miss the party?
Worry not...
just to play devil's advocate: The original comment could be read as somewhat derogatory and condescending towards the players who - mainly - enjoy a video game and it's game loops. Nobody wants to take away your role play, but face it: There is a RP forum section where you can go nuts, and the rest of the forums are more or less non-RP. If I come to the RP section and answer all the tinfoiling there with "it's a game" I'm clearly trying to disrupt the forums. I think it goes at least little bit the other way too.
Just to clarify, AXI and the Defence Council for Humanity had picked Taranis out as the target before the update went live. Once the update dropped and the Galaxy Map confirmed that Taranis had the lowest defence, then everyone piled on it.
