Thargoid down

FakeNews

 

[Trinity Star]

Still take a wing to bring them down?

 

[RagingxPenguin]

Just because SDC made it look easy.. Doesn't mean it's easy.

 

[Surprised Brony]

Well their pretty weak aint they....How anti-climactic lol. 2+mil for doing that, think in'a go farming tonight.

Good luck. Once you've got the tactics down, it's not impossible but they're definitely better than any NPC.

 

[UnilateralOptimizer]

Folks, these are some of the better players out there. It's not easy. I'm a decent stick, playing in VR, on a decent rig with a solid flightstick. Same load out. Wing of other experienced players. Not nearly as easy for us.

 

[ebbrell]

No, they did it with the new anti-bug missiles. Which none of the 21 pilots had yesterday.

Oh right that's not as impressive. There was me thinking they used normal existing weapons

 

[Scruffman]

Did it drop and/or do anything upon death?

 

[Surprised Brony]

Yeah, spent last hour trying to get a kill. Didn't happen. Time for a smaller and more nimble ship.

 

[szkodi]

Good shot sir! Plenty in a tank!

 

[ebbrell]

Remember these are the interceptors. Small fast ships. There will be mummy and daddy versions, size of the sites

Looked like it just gave a 2,000,000 CR bond for redemption.

 

[Brett C]

Right on, Commanders!

 

[Tikigod]

Thats impressive. 21 ships attempted it yesterday and failed. They did it with much less.

Not really.

They just had access to the new Anti-Thargoid win-power weapons. The main thing about Thargoids is their shields are immune to taking any damage from conventional weapon. Once their shields are taken down using the Anti-Thargoid win-power weapons, even regular weapons will do damage to them until they explode.

You have no idea what you're talking about and have done no research whatsoever on the pvp community. I could list off 50 names that would wipe the floor with any single person on this forum in a stock or engineered ship (and sadly if I did, most of you would just block them because that's the sort of culture these forums espouse). Maybe.. maybe there'd be a sleeper that's a quality pilot, but honestly, you're talking about people with thousands of competitive non-gank pvp matches under their belt. The top 20 would be at least half comprised of SDC pilots. These pilots would similarly wipe the floor with any of your standard youtube personalities - and that's nothing against those guys, they make good videos so cheers. Keep on teaching people how to fa on reverski. But SDC pilots have proven themselves time and again in the PvP league and general competitive fights. Furthermore, their top pilots are entirely competent fa off in any setting, including planetary fights where fa off is bugged.

Listen, I get it. You don't like a lot of what they do. That's completely fair and that discussion is entirely allowable. But coming on here and criticizing them for lack of skill just sounds like an ignorant tantrum. Go watch some of their footage and tell me you can do better.

You can't.

I am not an SDC fanboy. My wing constantly fights them, and while many of us are close to their level, I am comfortable saying they have the greatest concentration of talent in the game. This is not a pride issue, this is verifiable. Find me a wing that can win a stock fight against pipko, sundae, oddisee, and raanes and then you can talk.

But that won't happen because you're probably just going to shift the conversation with some typical comment like 'it's not even a pvp game, if they were any good they'd go play x, y, or z'. They do, and they'd treat the hoi polloi of these forums the same way there.

Talent ??? I think cannon members have much more , cracking codes , helping the community to find more things , spending nights understanding the mechanics and solving enigmas...., no need to have a brain to fight ...SDC are just gankers , everyone can do that . Reflexion is much more difficult .

Hopefully they're tuned more for bigger ships. I'm more skilled with the larger vessels. These interceptors definitely outclass my Cutter abilities, though. :3

Yada yada yes all so very impressed. The problem is the attitude. It's very sad to see all the measuring of manhood by a mode in a computer game and the glee in spoiling it for others - calling folk snowflakes and far far worse then the moment someone won't respect them for it the wobbly gets thrown.

It's sad that people like that get more fame, and to enlist others into their toxic attitude and approach to gameplay.

 

[Reina Kaede]

This is what we achieve when SDC uses their powers for good.

 

[CMDR Ofan]

Maybe, I managed to snap a bit off one and get it down to about 75% before I had to bug out solo, I reckon 2 people should be able to handle it reliably and maybe these boys might be able to solo one with practice.

It stared getting angry and dashing me with yellow lightning, which was not cool.

You're severely underestimating the amount of research SDC does into game mechanics.

We welcome the challenge. Finally some interesting mechanics in PvE to test our piloting on.
