Thargoid Weapons Need to do More Damage

Basicly the title. I should be scared when one of them gets angry with me and it tells me to back off, but engineered ships can last a LONG time against them from what ive seen. They should make engineered ships run scared.

And again, they don't think like humans. They are VERY likely holding back their true destructive power from us, basically warnings shots to make us keep our distance.

I don't believe we've seen their true power yet.

For all we know we are dealing with the Thargoid equivalent of a sidewinder, lets at least wait more than a couple of days before talking about how easy they are to escape.

I agree, they could be the lowest tier ships they got who knows what they got besides those flower ships.
 
We know they can EMP and disable our ships completely right now. So it's clear they are holding back now otherwise we would be dead everytime we encountered them
 
Their missiles can be pretty powerful.

But their main guns, and Thargons weapons are somewhat lacking.
At least from my experience.

Of course, we could just be dealing with the "easy" ones for now.

I'm waiting to see a Thargoid mothership...

I was pretty happy to discover my Cutter could survive for quite a while against a single angry Thargoid ship. Pretty sure 4 at once would cook me quickly.

At the moment we're only dealing with one at a time. Let's see how this plays out before we call for them to be buffed :D

It is important to remember that what we get from the Engineers is technically "illegal" because the upgrades are above safe specifications - that, and the engineers are all part of some bigger, shadowy force pulling the strings :D

We can survive fights against the Thargoids in our modified ships, but the standard navies and/or commercial ships will get rekt.

With no pips to shields and with no boosted armour or shield boosters, then a basic corvette or anaconda will die pretty quickly.

I see where you coming from, however :)

I don't know they shredded the shields and blew a sizable chunk off the hull of my Vulture (about 25%) in at most 30 seconds during that 3rd encounter we had yesterday. It's not massively engineered but still has ~500mj of shield and ~700hps.
 
Hi guys,

Said this a few times in other threads; the damage is scaled to your ship and equipment to allow all people a chance to escape.

I was attacked by 1 goid, after 2 minute i was in 65% HULL with shield holding at about 40%
Later i was attacked by 3 goids who should have made quick work of me but did about the same damage

Look at all the videos; Obsidian's poorly equipped ASP survived quite some time against 1 Thargoid however if his ship took as much damage as my Anaconda did he'd have died in a few hits.

No matter what ship you go up against them with, you'll lose shield/hull at about the same rate.
 
I thinks Thargoids are a race to discover, study,and learn from their behaviors. I think FD have planned like this to entertain the players. If i want to fire on Aliens i play space invaders ;)

Pretty much this:

Also, it seems to be confirmed that these are just scouts that we're encountering now (another thread here that I forgot to copy link from).

Summary:
Check your statistics panel and you'll see a count of scouts that you've encountered, and the log file also refers to the ship as a scout (if it kills you).
 
Also, lastly. We're only fighting one at a time with 10+ CMDR's in fights taking over ten minutes.

If there were 3 at once I have no doubt that even SDC would struggle mightly and they speak highly of the fights difficulty already.

Also, lastly lastly. These are the best combat pilots in the game. Majority of people will struggle a lot more. Really bad to compare top 1% to majority of players who are REALLY bad.

I don't believe we've seen their true power yet.

When I am attacked by multiple wings of human ships and destroyed four of my hearts and I am about to die, I personally would either run or shoot them to bits *if I could*.

Unless, ofcourse, Thargoids are all clones like in Eve but I doubt that, it is simply the average PvE experience ... just alot more tanky and long lasting with actually good health regen.
 
It'is clearly that no one here actually killed any of them, or fight them on full power. Only CMDR joshman72nd actually know what he is talking about. Their damage is actually very good in terms of balance. It seems that this time FD actually did test this stuff. You need a lot of time to kill one of them. And next 3 week where is 0 chance that you can make it solo. You can try your best. But you simply can't do it. It is a CO OP content at this moment. And this says a lot. Main gun you say? You actually never see that.. Their main gun is the most terrifying thing you've ever see. Just wait till you see that.. You will remember this moment.

We did kill 2 of them. And it was fun. Hard, and fun. For now FD did everything as it should be. Challenge on the edge of a balance. Ideal. For the first time i will say it. FD you done a good job on this one. Keep it so.

They dont really care about you, basically. Give them a reason to take you serious and they'll use the stronger weapons. 1v1 you'll die. Fast.

They only use their 'mild' attacks initially.
