I just wanted to point out in relation to whether it's thargoid or not, the majority of ships stick reasonably close to their previous designs apart from the Imp. Courier and Clipper, which are vastly different in design. I would still back thargoid, but there is precedent for redesign.

It's NOT A SHIP!

Its a gestation pod. Judging by the debris around the central "Pod" I would imagine that it would be a casing of some kind in order to protect the pod itself. One thing is for sure - the centre of the pod looks nothing like either an observation platform, engine or weapon.

I think this is a PART of the ship responsible for the Barnacles. When I look at it, it instantly comes to mind that this is something that "Eggs" come out of.

The only question is... Where did the rest of the ship go? It must have been in a space battle that completely destroyed it. For just the pod and casing to have ended up crashing on this lonely world.

This brings to mind three questions.

1. Are the more bits of the mothership to find in system?

2. How danged big is this thing anyway?

3. Who blew it up, because for sure, the Feds etc... are fighting over barnacles. Which means they know nothing apart from that. If this is just a pod section, then something seriously advanced must have dusted it.

Uh-oh.

It looks more like a creature digging itself from the Earth.

There are 2 main scrapes in the ground that look like claw marks. It is half buried with rocks pushing upwards and not rocks pushed down and away like a crash site

Ive flown around it and drove around it up close.

Also we are on the Horizons update. Horizons is about moobs and planet landings.

I have a feeling these things are the guardians in the update title.



All of horizons is planetary based stuff so far.

I couldn't find any signs of weapon damage on the craft either. No scorch marks from energy weapons, no impact craters from kinetic weapons. Some other system failure caused the ship to go down?

So I found out something interesting. I'm at the crashed ship site and tried slamming my ship right in the middle of it....absolutely 0 damage. No shield damage, hull damage....nothing. Players on the ground said it looks like it's blocking me from hitting it or repelling me away. I'm starting from 3+km away and hitting it at full boost which gets me to 320+ speed. Interesting....

Edit: Turned my shields off, same result. Absolutely 0 damage.

Can we get some confirmation whether or not this is relevant anymore:

I spent two days decoding this and came to a conclusions that i think is quite solid, but sources are that this Kerrash is some sort of official attention for Frontier, Seems ridiculous to think this is a troll, wasting my and other peoples time.
If I can get confirmation that this leads somewhere I'll post my findings.

The problem with Kerrash is that he's not a member of the "community", because he doesn't participate and share everything he knows.

But he's also not a member of the "game masters" either, because he is not an official outlet for the game; and while he has privileged knowledge, he doesn't keep quiet about it.

So in the end he comes across as someone who knows something you don't, and wants you to know that he knows something you don't, and isn't allowed to tell you. He drops hints about it just so that when you find out the official way, you know that he knew about it all the time--not as an actual clue to help you find it.

I confirm. We tried group ramming it, corvette , 2 condas and keelback and a few asps rammed it repeatedly. There was no shield animation nor any sparks. Zero damage every time
