Confirmed New Ship Components???

Well it's already been hinted at by some FDev reps that current ship builds may not be all that effective for stopping a Thargoid attack.

Not sure this is particularly relevant to PS4. Perhaps it should be moved to the Dangerous Discussions area?

I admit that I quickly scan read the article, but didn't pick out anything that people hadn't already discussed in the DD area.

The big 'unanswered' question is whether the changes coming as a result of the Thargoids will only be available to people who have bought Horizons (as they will get 2.4) or will the new components be available to all?

So I hope that link works. I'll have to fix it later if it doesn't.

I don't know if anybody else caught this so I am posting it here just in case.

According to an FDev rep that was interviewed within the article, it sounds like we might be getting new ship components to "fight off" the Thargoids.

Is this information already known to our community? [woah]

we have already been told officially that all current ship components and engineer upgrade will be useless against the thargoids. so naturally we will need new stuff to protect and fight against them, and as for kotaku i wouldn't believe the rumors and scuttlebutt he is pedaling he is not very accurate

I am new to forums really and I am just used to my PS4 community and haven't really branched off into the big forum world. I just posted it here because I didn't see anybody commenting about it. [where is it]

But you are correct, if this has already been talked about in another forum then it should be moved or deleted(??). Escpecially if it isn't any new or relevant information.

hey we never delete anything in this place, even gossip and rumors are poured over by an elite team of eagle eyed veterans for any shred of information. just cos we know everything in game will be useless doesn't mean we know anything else ;)

as i like to say there are no stupid forum posts, just noncommittal answers from FDev

I think having a weapon capable of taking out or down a thargoid would be a bad idea, to many greifers would use it on other pilots.

Who's to say the reverse isn't also true, that weapons effective against Thargoids are useless against human ships?

But what if it is only effective against thargoids? Their ships are massive so maybe it has very low accuracy?? [where is it]

They use different technology so why can't a shield to protect againts the new technology come out as well? I might be jumping ahead since I don't even know if the game allows you to purchase enhanced/modded/variations shields...

I would assume one would reverse engineer the technology they are using, therefore it would be effective on human ships. (that big battle with destroyed crafts everywhere)

Yes, that could be true, for instance it may just be a water cannon that brings them down. For me personally, I'm not fearful of any body or any thing EXCEPT, when it comes to getting my finger pricked for a blood test, then I am an extremly large chicken.

It's entirely within the rhelm of possibilities that Lloyd and company are the Thargoids. Showing up every once in awhile just to keep things moving and fresh. And if so, are indistructable. After watching many video's in regards to everything ED. There seems to be a larger interest after an appearence by a Thargoid. They show up, make themselves known, then leave. Because there's more programing to get through.

I would think the first technology to be developed would be some defence against their ability to disable players ships at will. Without that we will all be fish in a barrel whether or not we have weapons that can hurt them.
