thargoids

I can't help myself but thinking that Thargoids are rather 'good guys' in the galactic events theater. Let's take a look at the facts: No hostility unless poked Thargoids do not attack vessels which pose no threat (non-hostiles carrying no thargoid or guardian tech), simply leaving them to be...

HI Cmdrs, This thread is for those who want to discuss the strange and wacky oddities of Elite! Please refrain from negative posting as we know conjecture is best! If you want to disprove or argue what's being said in here I just ask you to please consider the title of the post. Below are some...

o7, commanders. Recently I've read and watch that if I'll put thargoid link into space and play message from activated thargoid device on planet site I'll get an answer which can be decoded into coordinates of another system with planet site. I had try and got answer "hhh hll /" and after this a...

The goal of this post is to draw attention to the side of Elite players that want to take a more peaceful, friendly and/or research-oriented approach to the Thargoids. EDIT: Poll link is in the Reddit Post I will try to suggest a very simple idea, the purpose of which is to: Be as easy to...

They don't even need to add that much new content there. They could chalk it up to "The Pilots Federation testing the viability of allowing independent entities running free operations within a select sub-region of the Col 70 sector." People will flock there even if the systems are barren...

Request before you read: Please, I know most of you dislike Thargoids from an in-universe point of view, so with that in mind, please judge my ideas not for the potential to make your game worse, but for its potential to make the overall game better. So please, judge this without a pro-humanity...

I was prompted by Commander @Xenia_K forum post ( https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/hip-17862-11e.561366/ ) to investigate known system HIP 17862 with Thargoid crash site HIP 17862 6c, because Commander discovered presence of another Thargoid site on HIP 17862 11e. Mapping planet revealed...

I thought it was so they could add drama by enhancing the narrative and announcing all out war after a short pause. Clearly I was wrong about that. Thoughts?

enough of their technology is left behind, studied and adapted for humans to outfit it onto their ships and make attack fighters. I think more than enough time has passed for their technology to have engineers able to upgrade them and to make Guardian ships. At least medium siz

As many of you are no doubt aware last week the Pleaides and Witch Nebula were struck by another wave of Thargoid strikes. Thanks to the valiant efforts of the AX Community, these attacks have been repulsed but on Thursday morning the important job of bringing this starports back online begins...

Is this a bug or THE bugs?

I just completed my online shop at a well known supermarket and found out where the Thargoids have gone.....

Today on MEGA is the META: Prinz Eugen and the Farsight EnclaveS come under attack from a Formal dEclaration of war from the "combat pilots" of AXIN. Details of the formal declaration can be listened to at here: Source: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/513875735 Who will come out on top? Prinz...

Vox Universum is a brand new and small squadron and player faction that is seeking pilots to help us grow! We accept all play styles and have a very laid back outlook on gameplay. Can't be on all the time? Fantastic, Vox Universum is for you! Love to play for hours on end in search of the...

So. I was out doing Ram Tah missions and I thought I saw something. Played back what the sensors recorded and it definitely caught something. Not on radar but visually, something was there. Source: https://youtu.be/a0k6X7hc-vk

This is a call to action to all Meta Alloy enthusiasts. Please only harvest ripe pods. They are the only ones that drop Meta Alloys. Not only will this save you time, but it may very well contribute to the preservation of this versatile and increasingly sparse resource. This mindless destruction...

I've had this problem for well over a year now where my fighter ignores the "attack target" command when I'm targetting a thargon swarm. He will stay in the "Defend" command but still won't react to the thargon swarm damaging him, he just refuses to get into any combat with the swarm at all. If...

The Children of Raxxla would like to share with you an analysis of the very complicated storyline. We have uncovered the extent of the corruption brought about by the corporations, and expanded on a popular Thargoid theory. We touch upon Raxxla, The Dark Wheel, The Club... everything is linked...

Greetings Commanders! ;) After going to one of the Guardian Structures for blueprints, a thought came into my mind: If Guardians were alive, would they be hostile towards us like Thargoids, or could we possibly become allies and fight the Thargoids together? What do you think?

What do we know about the Guardians? We know they built dumb structures covered in triangles. Who else does that? That's right - people who build playing card houses out of cards that have been cut in half. And that's stupid and crazy. There's more. Guardians are so dumb they picked a fight with...

Hi, So we've got the Thargoids, currently attacking humans. 1) Where are the peaceful, friendly ETs in ED? 2) Perhaps the Thargoid story line can evolve to an end to the war... how about adding gameplay to work towards peace? A diplomatic effort of some kind, for example? A learning of each...

Just an idea I had to allow for Thargoids to be a bit less optional. The problem with the Thargoids, is that they require dedicated weapons to take down (except scouts), which means that CMDRs who don't have any of that currently equipped, stand zero chance of anything except escape, so you...

Hello,all: When I went to the site in HIP 16753, I zoomed out in free camera mode and the whole base looked like a giant ship buried in the ground. What are everyone(s) thoughts as to what the surface bases might be/ or what they might be used for? Thanks, A logical argument

Operation IDA: All Star-Port Repairs in The Pleiades are Complete. As of this morning, Copernicus Observatory in Asterope is back online after being repaired this past Monday. This means that repairs to ALL stations attacked in The Pleiades are now complete. The Totals: 17 stations including 3...

I apologise in advance for any ignorance. Is there a guide to Thargoid hunting? Or ways I can interact with Thargoids and earn credits at the same time? I mean the ship types and such, weapons I need, the things I need to do in order to hunt Thargoids? Its been an end goal of mine to do so...

Since there’s currently very little use for these materials beyond unlocking tech broker modules and restocking specialty weapons, I think it would be very good to be able to exchange them for more useful materials. If possible (within the game’s programming, I mean), you could make exchanges...

This is based on Redden Alt-Mer's excellent post in a bug report thread, in which we discovered that the "Infested" status, which we could see for a while after 3.3 was released, was removed, and can be viewed here...

Thargoid attacks against stations and other installations sould be predicted beforehand "through new top secret technological advances", and be spotted say 7-14 days before they start/finish allowing to organize defending better against them. Could be just locally on top of a mission board like...

I wanted a bit of scout action for me and my npc, as I have done before.... I searched the gal maps for an incursion sate system and as of today there are 2 of them (south of the bubble). I jumped to one of them, FSS scanned the system - not a single NHSS. From previous recollection...

So this is kinda not like me. I usally try to make suggestions, that kinda fit with the current Game Design, but I got carried away yesterday thinking about current Events ingame around Thargoids and a few Ideas and now I have to share them, just for funsies. I don't expect FDev to pick up even...

Brave unarmed explorer CMDR Pirjo Suoyrjö encountered agricultural Megaship distress signal that had just been attacked by the Thargoids, reported no enemy activity in scanners and set out to investigate damage done. She reported that besides heavy structural damage there were some kind of...

Now, before you scream at me, the title is a rhetorical question, but i want to start a discussion, a pretty important one i think. So let's be real... for one of the most dangerous activities in the game other than PVP, we're really not being rewarded anything for resisting the Thargoids. I...

when you surface scan a planet that has biological or geological phenomena ,the locations are numbered, but thargoid barnacles are not. making it difficult to discern where you have and have not gone to. "but why not just session hop"you may ask. well i happen to like flying to different locations.

I just returned from a 6 month expedition and was surprised to find life in the bubble going on as normal while it is supposed to be under attack by a superior alien race!. Shouldn't there be some sign of this like military blockades and galnet warnings.? Its the worse defence attempt in history.

If you look at it in comparison to pretty much every activity in Elite, from doing exploration, general mission running, hauling cargo, mining, combat.... if you then look at in terms of how much materials/data you can get, and how much credits you can get, all of them have at least something...

So, now that the bubble has been attacked for the first time since the release of the new conflict zones, i thought i would go and check out the new conflict zones in a well modified Krait 2 with guardian weapons and... i was disappointed again, met with a very unbalanced and pretty much...
