How would said goid turn off a weapon that has no power like an auto rifle
And i wanna get into a fist fight with thargoid. And i think heat based weapons would actually be the strong ones vs goids as they are unable to survive in temperatures above 40 C (104 F) as the ammonia in their cells would start to boil so on foot goids would only be able to exist on cold planets. Maybe add an AX flamethrower or something.
That weapon costs 100,000 credits. 3x the cost of a sidewinder which is a jump capable space ship half the size of the millennium falcon
You're trying to say that it's not loaded with electronics and biometrics and networked to your suit and phoning home to the manufacturer with data logging ? What are you paying 100k for then?
I dont believe there are any elite dangerous canonical sources that state that thargoids are ammonia based or come from ammonia worlds. That is just rumor (in-game) and statements from non-canonical sources (even if those sources are braben). The statement that fdev has made regarding thargoid biology comes from a 2017 interview with rolling stone magazine. Fdev has retconned stuff they've stated in-game, i dont think something stated out-of-game is reliable.
But lets say it's true, pure ammonia as a liquid might require cold or high pressure to be a liquid, ammonium hydroxide is around 40c at sea level to boil. Perhaps it's a solution of ammonium chloride and water - which would be much closer to regular water boiling point. Perhaps their body has an exoskeleton that keeps their bodies pressurized to allow exposure to higher temps, or perhaps they've engineered heat pumps thru various bio-technological means and designed their bodies to maintain cool temps. They've been out in space apparently for millions of years, i think they have conquered the hazards of temperature differentials in the environments available. Their space ships are biological and handle much more extreme heat than what humans can handle without mechanical protection. It would make little sense to assume they are not just as hardy as their ships.
