Anyone taking bets that the "repaired/shielded" stations will soon be infested by hordes of tharglets?

Just to clear up the terminology.

- Tharglet is a juvenile Thargoid, known to live as a parasite inside a living host.
- Thargon is a small Thargoid drone ship.

Thargons may be piloted by Tharglets, but we don't know this.

That's a real discovery, Pan Piper!
I've managed to update the FP somehow, with some relevant news, but I'll be very busy for a while, I don't even have time to play, too much RL.

Please refer to the Canonn Codex, Obsidian Ant's Videos and (I know, I know...) the Reddit page for up-to-date news and updates.

I'll try to do as best as I can to keep the FP updated, from time to time.

Cheers!

I'm probably annoying them a great deal testing this, but it looks like their max speed is around 440 m/s. Fantastic manoeuvrability.

CMDRs! I have no physical evidence to show for this unfortunately, because it passed by too quickly for me to get a screenshot and I don't think I recorded this encounter, but...

Check your contacts panel as the swarm of drones flies past your ship.

You'll need to deliberately aggro the Thargoid for this, but what you should see (or at least what I saw; repeat-ability uncertain) is among the "Unknowns" on your contacts list, you can also see "Thargon Drone" pop up if they get close enough.

I'm not able to get in game until after work, so I trust someone else will try this and get a screengrab.

Seems like you have an Oresrian friend there! Note the marking!!
we need to catalogue these markings!
Click to expand...

I'm trying to do it here

Seem to be the same marking as in the trailer:

I don't think the markings are related to Oresrian or Klaxians, there is a lot of different markings and we can see multiple Thargoid ship in the same place with different markings.
Must be the vessel class or role. I don't thinks it's related to species or hive, because they are not fighting each other.

Or, more simply, the single Thargoid or ship name/signature/ID?

Since the video stream from earlier didnt work, probably conked out for low bandwidth early on and i didnt notice, but much was learned this morning. Limited on time so will give a quick recap of the events.

Prepared to explore 2.4 after work and the new stuff, investigated a barnacle for changes where i parked. Looked all as i expected with presumed changes, shortly after was brought to my attension of a thargoid barnacle located in that Hyades sector.

Went to investigate and the circumstances of a new barnacle being found by Cmdr Laine Brigands flying with Cmdr Kaz Archer.

The nav target visible long range rather than <1000ls much like ancient ruins do, but only once we had Ram-Tah's scanner which would show them <1000ls .
Barnacles are similar, once they are scanned they also show <1000ls so was likely the same effect, but Barnacles require scanning before giving a nav target. Something else had caused the nav data of the barnacles to be gained.

Eliminating the UL possibility, the US site in that system was most likely culprit. Uplinks had been scanned and the Thargoid barnacle nav marker was noticed after.

Repeating this , after scanning 2 uplinks and nothing else , returned to SC and the uplinks had indeed given the barnacle scan data for that system!.

Heading to C2 where Lain and Kaz were at one of the barnacle sites, a regular single barnacle. Nothing seemed strange yet. Scanned and logged that site, Allripe status , expected.

Single barny though, i expected a double perhaps,, ventured onward to the other targets that were gained. 2nd site another single barnacle in a site that seemed large for just a single barnacle.
Collected scan data before heading to check on the 3rd location 200 km away.

The 3rd site we visited , Upon approach to the area, it had a blanked of fog much like US sites, cracks visible big, but hard to see much till nearer when the almighty forest of barnacles were there.

Credit to Cmdr Lain Brigands for checking that first nav target 130kls from the US site. This led to quite a remarkable discovery this morning, no doubt we may find more of these large barnacle forests soon after investigating more of the uplinks at US sites.

For what it's worth, I'm heading out to the site now. No nav beacons below 1,000LS, and I scanned the uplinks at the US in the system just now.

I don't think it's a ship name/ID, there will not be enough markings for this and they are not procedurally generated because I see the same sub-pattern on multiple Thargoids.

Also, like the TS (since they're Thargoid Structures now), the barnie forest is visible from a huge distance away in the dark.

I would hypothesise that the markings are related to Oresrians and Klaxians, but all we're seeing is Oresrians.

The core of the markings is always the same. If the Thargoids are indeed insectoid then their markings may have a connected structure. The queen will effectively be the centre of the 'hive'.

So, hypothesis:

The central mark relates to the 'hive' that they belong to (in this case Oresrian). The subsequent layers then constitute further denominations of some kind, whether it's names, roles and ranks, or something else.

That's a good point. I don't think it's a particularly pleasant experience to be a Tharglet host.

Quote from The Dark Wheel:
"The camera had picked up the spider-like life-forms that were living inside the shuffling, harmless turtle-forms. The sight was discomforting. Jointed legs seemed to be reaching out into every limb, and every body space. The central black body was shiny, and from it peered a number of bloated, faceted eyes. Two long, bristly tendrils stretched into the Mymurth's brains from each of these hideous parasites."

Yes. The first four systems (including Varati) are listed in a Flight Operations Plan on the Gnosis station services.

Varati
Hyades Sector AQ-Y d81
HIP 18778
Witch Head Sector DL-Y d8

I am still hoping it all goes wonky, though, and we get flung off across the galaxy somewhere :)
