just to confirm....ax missiles are very effective against normal ships

Thanks for that. I was worried I was going to have to have separate human ship/thargoid ship builds. Just loaded up 2 missle racks and the sensor on my python.

 

[ratsidecar]

woohoo, just got my missile launchers and xeno scanner in eurybia from a surface base. Off to maia to see what they can do!!!

 

[AngerManagement]

be warned....because they are turreted.....on fire at will, your ammo won't last long

 

[Raves_tg]

anyone tried their standard weapons alongside the missles Are they still as ineffective?

 

[Abomination]

So now we got a few mandatory modules unless you want to ignore thargoids complety?

Could be worse. I'm like Eric Cartman with songs. Don't ever say anything that was a lyric in any song from 1955-1985 or I will sing it. I poured my wife coffee creamer yesterday and she was like "Stop!" so I sang "Don't come around here no more" by Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks. It's that bad.

Just because it is one of my favorite episodes:

"I'm sailing away..."

If anyone's interested in a failed attempt to kill a thargoid:

I know it has everything, but something tells me that it won't have these.

Doesn't have the enhanced thrusters either. It just stocks all the non Horizons gear

Pretty much. I can probably get comfortable with using dumbfires on human ships (although ammo runs out quickly), but having to use a utility slot for the scanner takes away a shield booster. However, since Thargoid weapons pass through your shields, maybe we should focus on hull reinforcement and grade instead.

Not sure if we really need the scanner - one in a wing would probably be enough ? - and if on your own - do you care as long as damage is being done ? (less effective maybe ?)

So with all this information in mind. I'm currently at Luyten's Star, ready to head on over to get everything needed for Thargoids. Which system should I go to arm up and encounter Thargoids?

 

[Surprised Brony]

Apparently they are still very effective once the Anti-Xeno missiles drop their shields.

Alcazars Hope in Merope has them both.

You mean Alien Encounters and the weapons?

I just picked a fight with one in my python. Would not recommend 1v1 combat with Thargoids yet. I was at 79% hull and 1 ring on the shields when I bugged out. I did manage to bring the Thargoid hull down to 93%. I just wasn't too keen on the $14M rebuy cost. They are very, very maneuverable in close. My python can usually hold a turn with anything with appropriate pips, but not even close with the Thargoid. Not to mention you have to worry about the main ship and the drone swarm.

Alcazars Hope has both the new items.

HR 1185 seems to have a lot of non-human signals spawning. There's also a distress beacon there that sometimes has encounters (along with lots of loot to scoop).

 

[kenworth]

You need to go to a nearby system for encounters. HIP 17694 has tons of them.

OT? What?

It's a stronger version of O7.
