Taranis Enters Meltdown
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
"The resulting cloud of debris and gas is a bit too hazardous to venture into currently but reports do indicate that there may be something inside waiting to be explored and that the cloud may dissipate within a matter of weeks."
Taranis Destroyed!
A swarm of chittering voices cried out and were suddenly silenced... You did it! An armada of pilots from all throughout the Milky Way gathered together to strike down the Titan Taranis, causing a catastrophic failure of it's core and systems. The resulting explosions burst across the sky...
Agreed, great show Fdev!
"extreme" is an underestimated term, CS fill really quickly... will be hard to do Titan autopsy.
TBAG went in and it was beyond.

I was hoping to explore and maybe find a mat or two to pickup
Yeah, I want me a Titan heart to unlock a new bobblehead
I guess we just wait a week or three for the cloud to disappear.
\o/ Right when Taranis went down, might make a good wallpaper

While this is a spectacle I was glad to observe, it's a shame I couldn't participate in anything leading up to it. I hope FDev consider the timing of such events in the future. From what I understand, players who were able to play during the week, basically took the Titan out in reality, but FDev delayed the boom so we could watch. That's most welcome, but a larger window to actually damage the thing would have been good - that would have been my Saturday evening.
Still, it does show that the player base - or at least a sub-section of it - is quite keen to directly engage with this stuff. Just a shame it was all over, bar the boom, by the time us weekenders got to play...
Edit: Also, will I get an "I was there for the boom" decal?

You do know there are 7 more of them you can go help with right now, don't you?While this is a spectacle I was glad to observe, it's a shame I couldn't participate in anything leading up to it.

Well... that was quite a show !!! 
Thought at first I was too close when that thing went off and every system went nuts before the pushback... phew
btw Anyone else noticed the "objective success" (or the like...) message with the green checkmark like a finished mission ?

Before reading all the other posts since the end of page 9 - hell of a thing you did here, Frontier. I may not approve of the destruction of a Titan, but that was impressive.
Also nice of Taranis to give us all a kick out of the cloud before turning into a miniature sun for a few seconds.

Wait, are you saying that Anti Xeno Initiative gets to tell fdev somehow what to do apart from the BGS part of the war? So Leigong will be next? I went up there and there were no vents to torpedo...
I very much hope the next ones don't have a "vents are open" and "it's dead within hours of telling us" indeed!
I noticed the checkmark. And I think I have significantly more arx now than I did a couple of days ago.btw Anyone else noticed the "objective success" (or the like...) message with the green checkmark like a finished mission ?
They don’t, but Frontier saw the focus on Taranis and decided to encourage players to keep doing that.
(The other Titans will be more difficult - Leigong will require a little trimming first before it will likely be assaulted, or at least players are probably going to prefer doing that before hitting it. Beyond that, even Oya will require at least a week or two to get to a stage where it can be feasibly assaulted… well, without taking an extreme effort that makes Taranis’ assault look like a drop in the ocean.)
