thargoid

Dear Frontier Team, First of all, thank you for your incredible work on Elite Dangerous. The vastness, depth, and atmosphere of the game have captivated me from the very beginning. What drew me in most strongly was the mystery surrounding the Thargoids – their design, presence, and the...

Good afternoon, The below is an idea I had for a new Thargoid-derived module... for the cool factor :cool: . As described below, I think this module would be a a sidegrade at best, but would give the player somemore variety to enjoy when outfitting their ship(s). Thargoid Heart Module...

Sure, the new colonization stuff is exciting...but...give me a better idea than that to bring a bit of fun/danger to the galaxy while finally integrating the on-foot stuff to the main game, I'm listening... (Just a wish from a commander absolutely not interested about endless hauling without...

Dear Frontier Developments Team, I'm writing as a long-time fan of Elite Dangerous, and I wanted to share a concept that has been swirling in my mind, an alternative direction for the Thargoid storyline that I believe could offer incredible new non-disruptive lore, gameplay and narrative...

(Thargoid accord event) On February 20th 3311 a group of commanders went on an expedition to system Witch Head Sector IR-W c1-9. On this historic day we sent our first message to the Thargoids via thargoid sensor probes who continuously take in data from the surroundings. They have all be...

Issue report for Thargoid Interceptor labelled as Guardian at Pleiades Sector AB-W b2-4 body 9a. https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/71446

Operation Thunderstruck is the Aegis Reforged Coalition’s (ReAegis) effort to rescue as many people from the Titans as possible before they catastrophically explode! I created the operation when the Galnet News article released on February 26, 3310, stated that the "majority [of those held...

With the Thargoid War now a chapter of the past, numerous mysteries continue to circulate within the galaxy. One of the most pressing questions is the fate of Salvation. Is he truly dead, or could he be alive, hidden away within the Guardians’ network? Some speculate that he might be biding his...

As Galnet is strongly hinting at Thargoid human subversion, I was thinking how the exobiology scanner could be used as on “offensive” or illegal fashion in much the same way as the handheld warrant scanner for Odyssey: detect any “infiltrated” humans. Certain missions can carry out a covert...

It is widely acknowledged in the lore that the guardians relied on three main types of weapons: shard cannons, plasma chargers, and gauss cannons. However, there exists another weapon, albeit less prominent, that the guardians developed—missiles. Given that sentinels are equipped to use them, I...

Since the Thargoids arrived and started a war against us, we haven't really...Improved our Guardian tech (Guess Ram Tah isn't that brilliant after all, eh?). Only a single weapon has been developed in one year, the Nanite torpedos. However, What about the other guardian technology that has been...

As of posting this, Titan Thor has gone into meltdown a few minutes ago. This now marks number 6 of the 8 Titans that have been ruthlessly destroyed by humanity for daring to try and defend themselves and their species from genocidal maniacs determined to rip the Thargoids apart and steal their...

Every big/expensive ship in the game just get's murdered no matter how you build it youtubers sit there going "OH HOW EZ" circling and aiming perfectly in a cold medium ship this makes me want to break my keyboard no matter how hard I try I just can't succeed at AX combat i'm really...

The guardian SLF's, those little fighters introduced a while ago to fight the thargoid menace. Hybrid technology that was meant to be effective and swift. Sadly they are now -or never were- useful against Thargoids. Since update 15 arrived, thargoids have...changed their strategy towards us...

My goal here was accurate, comprehensive info and realism. Can I have ice cream now? :D

Now yes yes I know this post will most likely be taken over with Starship Trooper-esque "OnLy GoOd BuG iS a DeAd OnE" But here me out... what if the people who are Pro-Xeno got like... literally any form of content for the first time since the game was created? Anti-Xeno people have always been...

Hello all It's seems that not only do we have new weapons to fight the Titans, the wiz-kids in xenology have also developed sophisticated algorithms to calculate the strength of each Titan individually. Each Titan has a Damage Resistance rating which appears to be directly affected by the...

I've just released part 2 in my series on Farming the Thargoid Spire Sites for Credits, this one is called Bashing Banshees! I hope it's helpful.

When Stargoids first showed up, I really thought a bunch of people tried to intercept them and go out and see what they were. But after watching a few Elite dangerous vids lately and asking in a few discords, everyone was like "yeah no one has ever intercepted a stargoid." and I was like "Wait...

I have been trying out the guardian fighters recently after a long time of not using them and unfortunately they have become useless. First of all, too weak to even withstand Thargoid damage (No idea why they are not protectetd against phasing damage if they have guardian shield). Then all...

In light of the recent observations within the AXI community regarding the erratic behavior of Thargoid Interceptors, we're launching a comprehensive data-gathering initiative. Commanders, your expertise in the field is invaluable. We urge you to contribute by submitting video footage of your...

Hi there all o/ (Images below) So I've been mulling over this for a while and it's finally gotten to the point where it annoys me enough to talk about it. While some people enjoy the Odyssey engine lighting because it makes things feel 'more realistic', a lot of things were ruined by the change...

The Glaive is the first Hunter class Thargoid to have released in elite. It's since gotten a lot of negative feedback and I'm here to suggest how it can be rebalanced to be more fun and fair to fight. 1-Make it not have aimbot regardless of heat The glaive is able to hit you regardless of...

A first look at the NEW THARGOID The Scythe! It's a new Hunter-class ship with a purpose different to anything we've seen before. What do we know about it so far? The Scythe is a new hunter-class vessel arriving in Update 16. It has a very different purpose and behaviour within the ranks of...

It's been years since tech broker been added, and since then all the new fancy toys added in tech broker have been 'purchasable' modules, that you pay certain amount of materials for ONE, instead of paying materials to unlock it for future purchase. I was not really complaining about this...

Commander Groovy Groydis stood proudly at the helm of his resplendent vessel, the Gold Member. Its golden exterior shimmered in the starlight, a reflection of the commander's heart ablaze with passion. He was a man of rugged charm, his eyes filled with the fire of adventure. Today, his journey...

In counter-strike systems, we are asked to engage in combat zones, which could be outside planetary bases, or in orbit. Unlike Alert systems, there is no way to rearm or repair when fighting in these arenas. If you do leave to repair, the instance is reset and progress is lost, unless you've...
