Boom and thats that, or is it?

I stayed outside the cloud and I don't regret it. Has anyone ever shown what it looks like outside?

Edit: In case anyone is interested...

8 of 8! Goodbye!

Well, that was... different. I definitely heard some sounds that were not there before at the previous explosions when the detonation happened, but if there was any audio to the Titan's sounds before the boom, I'll have to see someone else's footage for it because the game thought I was "too far" for anything except the sound which occurred on final explosion.

I was inside and the blast wave shunted me outside...to the tune of 400 km away by the time I slowed down to the point where I regained control. I tried going back in and almost got eaten alive by the high-intensity caustic cloud - doing more damage and extending past the mass lock. I quickly plotted a route and jumped out.

 

[Sleepyman]

I died, eaten alive around 180Km from nav target Cocijo

Spectacular, as always!

Now, Aegis needs to get to work to figure out how to get in

Also, waiting for Thargsday be like...

First explosion

Then pushed away before 2nd explosion

Not played for a long time but I was around for the first Thargoids when they showed up. Thought I should turn up for the last one. Ship thrown around, approached too close and hull dissolved and then back to Barnards Star for breakfast.

For those that missed it, here's my crappy recording of the trip to watch the Titans demise.

That was much better in (VR) person than watching it via YouTube - though I had to be careful not to rotate my head lest the sprite-based effects spoil the proceedings - and I'd like to give a big thank you to all the programmers, artists, sound bods, & other folk who brought Cocky Joe to us

 

[rootsrat]

A friend of mine managed to get in as far as possible, but it eventually pushes to back.

Well, I for one was left with a "large number of crickets"-y sound loop, which was different than the usual "cricket's"-y sound loop that occurs when the passive scan sound glitches. It did not reappear when I went away and returned.

If this was not just a glitch, after all, I suppose somebody will tell soon, whether this was the same noise as recently around previous Titan hulks, or a new one... :7

Impressive sight as ever o7

From the linked article

Refugees numbering in the billions remain homeless, still living in temporary shelters assigned by Rescue Megaship processing teams. Many of these refugees are reluctant to return to their home systems and are looking for new opportunities among the stars.

Colonisation anyone ...

yeah this was only my 4th Titan ever and only my 2nd Titan boomboom explosion blastaway experience , but things def. seemed MORE unique this time ( i think? ) .

Unfortunately i only managed to grab 3 screenshots here.... First, the RED blast:

... then, out of the 'maelstrom' safe & sound....

... And gosh it sure was a great sight ^ to see !! o7 CMDRs

p.s. So, other than 'GalNet' update , what's next ? MARS zombie/human/thargoid hybrid ground invasion? ( i guess we'll find out Thursday )

 

[STRONTIUM DOG]

Next round of activity, coming up:

"The repair of all offline ports in Sol has been highlighted as the next priority. Shipments of materials needed to complete the restoration of these locations are needed in Sol and neighbouring systems which experienced Thargoid invasion."
