I’ve noticed that whenever I’m about to get hyperdicted by a Thargoid, there’s almost no camera shake and the jump just feels ‘smooth’, whereas a regular jump has lots of camera shake and feels ‘rough’

First off, credits here: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/13e6wgl/managed_to_boost_up_to_the_scouts_at_an_abandoned/ Sidewinder & scout size comparison. Now on to the juicy part of my post: There's a human in the image above, can you spot him? Ah... there's the cheeky...

at 12:00 mark it gets hyper

Anyone else remember Pogs? I could really use a slammer here.

I read on a wiki that the term "Thargoid" comes from an early blurry photo of an alien ship with "THARG" written on it - is this canon? They were presumably fans of the "2000 AD" comics back then, although have undoubtedly moved on to "Homes and Gardens" by now. Do we have any idea what they...

Welcome to "Oya Island" System: Cephei Sector ZZ-Y b3 Code-Name: "Oya Island" Distance to Mealstrom Oya: 14,94 ly Cephei Sector ZZ-Y b3 - occupied by the Thargoids - was recaptured by brave commanders of the SNPX in the cycle of 20-26.04.3309, thus forming a...

The lore of elite dangerous is nothing short of great and interesting, but player seem to get bored because there is no further story elements that are being pushed. For example : Thargoid Communication signals. Missions about running cold to thargoid territory to capture Behaveior Studies...

After the revelation that a new Thargoid "thing" was coming into the game, what do you think its role could be? Personally, link to its size compared to interceptors, I would think more of a kind of fighter, accompanying something bigger. And you what do you think ?

Enjoy!

I can do that. It was my standard hull tank DBS but with anti-Thargoid weapons on it. It went... shall we say, nearly well. Boy, that thing minces normal hull armour. Did it though! Another dead bug 💪 Source: https://youtu.be/mLde81FPTYs

If we organized a community effort to all go to a singular Maelstrom and begin a week-long campaign of destroying all of the caustic generators, would the cloud dissipate? If you kill enough Orthrus in a system, it changes the state of that system. Does it stand to reason that the same would...

Okay, so I realized that these features have been out for years, but I do have some things I really want: Alliance and Independent Faction Capital Ships: We have not gotten any for the Alliance, and with Thargoids, I would like to see some in CZs. Preferably from Lakon and Faulcon DeLacy...

I finally took the plunge and dipped my toe into the AX arena (having killed lots of NPCs in my flying career thus far). Predictably enough my first outing ended with a rebuy, but I had some interesting things happen along the way, and I think I learned a little. I wanted to start slowly...

First off, I apologize, this is a repost. I put this in PC but someone suggested I bring it here instead. I have an idea! Certified tinfoil! So, the Thargoids got their name from first contact when we saw an alien ship with the word "THARG" on it's hull. We haven't seen communication like that...

I have an idea! Certified tinfoil! So, the Thargoids got their name from first contact when we saw an alien ship with the word "THARG" on it's hull. We haven't seen communication like that since likely because it was a hell of a coincidence, but what if it's because we got better at fighting...

Hello all. Just remember this is an opinion post before you start ripping it apart :P So anyway, when the UIA's first turned up, I was pretty excited for two reasons: First of all it was a pretty big discovery and presented a lot of science opportunities for me to do in Canonn involving the...

o7 CMDRs, I was fighting the Thargoids around Alvarado Beacon in Obamumbo, when an interceptor variant appeared and disappeared fairly quickly. It was NOT formed like the other ones, being much more pointy towards its supposed cockpit, like it had the petals leaned back -way back-. Much like a...

Dear ladies and gentlemen of the Wallglass Investigations Agency - I am a great admirer of your past work and your efforts to unearth information that was intentionally buried by those who profit from the ignorance of the public. Though recent times were overshadowed by many tragic events, like...

Dear frontier, Are you aware that: the new data/materials you introduced don't have the right rarerty rank (caustic crystal have rarety level 4, but need 200 units) the Shutdown Data is WORST than guardian terminal data as the limit is 200 units max but we get them...1 by 1 what

As the title suggests. I recently moved my fleet carrier from the bubble to the Thargoid invasion region near Maelstrom "Taranis". The jump went as planned but a fellow commander on the bridge and I saw yellow lightning instead of the usual blue. It appeared to have a similar hue to the...

As much fun as the new content is there seems to be some trouble in getting to new combat instances while in open. Commanders seem to want to hover around in an instance while not realising that the mission is "complete" and there will only be a trickle of small ships thereafter. Admittedly I'm...

Hello commanders, very little is known about the new targoid powerplay mechanic, so I created this post so that we can create an information compiler here to help the community how this works and how we can advance the thargoid threat in the bubble To instigate this post I will start with some...

So I've been thinking of playing again, but i had a couple questions for anyone, and i would even appreciate multiple responses. SO if the Questions i ask look answered, please dont hesitate to give your own answer! So the last time i played i think was a few months after the 'new' mining...

When you go to a station affected by Thargoids, there are three main ways to help: Passenger missions to collect refugees from the station. Cargo missions to collect wounded people in escape pods from the station Supply missions of cargo to the station You can find these missions at stations...

Turns out I really suck at fighting tharoids. I've always sucked at it, even pre-war. Now that they're literally everywhere, it's starting to cost me a fortune in ship repurchasing, and it's getting to the stage where I can no longer afford a rebuy of my more expensive vessels. That has the...

I recently figured out that one of the stargoids was just a few jumps away from me so I tried to look for it and on the way there I got kicked out of the jump, then I was greeted by a group of three thargoids. They did not attack nor scan me, they just stared at me while following my movements...

Greetings all! First up, don't read if you don't want spoilers. Second up, all this was gained without any exploit, data-mining or breaking the game. It's simply that it was apparently accidentally in the game too early and those of us at UIA#2 just after it was detected were able to see this...

Good Day CMDRs o7, I don't know if it's already been noticed or reported yet but I figured I'd go ahead and put it up here anyway. Myself and a few close friends have noticed some issues with collecting materials at Guardian sites (destroying a panel and a juicy Guardian Power Core or whatever...
