[Spoiler thread] New vehicles - Thargoid / Guardian on foot arts

[denispage]

I reckon the Tharg concept art from the confirmed leak is probably a bit more reliable for now . Or at least a better steer on their likely plans for the game.

The truck is fun, but doesn't look like something the current SRV bays could transport. More likely a location asset that's been dabbled with perhaps.

(FDev did dabble with concepts of larger player vehicles seemingly. You can see some snippets here from the 2016 digital art book. But again they don't seem to be hugely practical given the current bay size.)

Thanks for the info my friend.
Now I'm more excited about the Thargois!

Shadow of the space beast. Who knew that Aarbron was was turned into a warrior Thargoid using space magic.

Guardian guns are coming!

I have no idea, but according to FDev it's in Odyssey, so I guess they figured it out

It could be something available only on raxxla, which has also been stated to be in the game.

I'd say Diplomacy might mean doing any mission that do not specifically ask us to kill someone without actually killing anyone.
As in doin a theft/heist/sabotage/download mission as a theft/heist/sabotage/download instead of doing them as massacre missions

That's a very generous definition of 'diplomacy' - I shall have to add you to my white-knight directory

I've recently been rooting about in the bins at FD HQ (on an unrelated matter) and stumbled on this:

It's clearly an internal document showing professionally created artwork for elite dangerous, illustrating the following:

• accurate, current art for Thargoids
• positive human / Thargoid on foot interactions
• some land based vehicles
• confirmation of an upcoming large ship & demise of the rubbish one that looks like a dog.

Update 11 is going to be an exciting time.

There's also concept art for the new surface for icy worlds - white with tiles of thin, straight mountains
