3rd ever Thargoid "Octagoid" Kill - 8 thargoid interceptors at once

Ladies and gentlemen, after many weeks of trying, I have managed to get four extra thargoid interceptors to join a four goid instance to create an 8 goid "octagoid" instance. :)

So so many jumps... as Hyperdiction in only around a 20 percent chance
so many wrong instances... as getting one of the two possible four goid combinations is only a collective 5.8 percent chance on a hyperdiction.
so many failed attempts where only 1 or 2 extra goids joined as the original goids were fighting over the MA's or the MA's despawned :p
even getting the instance and losing it because the shutdown field bursts were too far apart to be covered by the shutdown field neutralizer.

And then there's the fight which is quite hectic given the number of goids and swarms. Couple of close calls, at one point I was at 39 percent with no thrusters haha :D

I am thinking of doing a video explaining the process and all of the (many) points of failure that can occur and the sheer improbability of getting the right starting instance. I recorded every failed attempt too so there is much I could share, also some very funny failures :p

Many thanks to CMDR Maligno and CMDR Sniperman 672 who have previously achieved this and gave very helpful advice on maximizing the chances of this working. :)

Anyway here is the video of the summoning and kills :) :

thanks Factabulous :) all it takes is practice. It was the same for me starting out, me and my husband went into our first like 10 interceptor fights and we couldnt even get a single heart! :)

What I discovered last night is that I appear to have forgotten how to drive my SRV.

I built a Xeno ship ages ago, but apart from one short excursion it's been mothballed. Maybe I should drag it out again and discover that I also can't kill Thargoids. :D

You should! We can do with all the pilots we can get defending humanity! ☺

You're doing well!

However from my RP perspective I would caution against waging war against beings we know very little about and without really knowing what else is hiding out there.

That said on a meta level I salute you Commander! Have fun 👍
