thargoids

VIDEO HERE My little summary & opinion piece on the matter!

So, as many other players, I too did come to the gnosis to make the jump. I was very excited, even put my alarm to be awake and playing as soon as the servers would be availible again and be one of the first guys to be out there and explore, fight and whatnot. Now, the first thing I found out...

So now it is confirmed. The Cone Sector is under the protection of the thargoid. As we all know the permit locks are a Pilots Federation system, to mess with out board computers. So either Pilots Federation is working together with the Thargoids or FD needs to rethink how to enforce their...

I would like to equip my Krait for some Thargoid bashing after what has happened to the Gnosis (yes, they will probably bash me instead, I know). Now I want to avoid the "Pattern Epsilon" torture. The Weapon Blueprint, okay, doable. But all that Obelisk scanning ... no, thanks. You know, I want...

I am on the Pleiades, near Maia, and I only see NHSS threat 5, can anyone please tell me where do I find higher threats?

One issue that has come up with the advent of Guardian weapons is that they easily outclass all human AX weapons, making these quite redundant. With this in mind, I would like to suggest the following 4 easy changes to make human AX weapons more viable as an alternative to Guardian weapons:-...

One issue I've had with the implementation of the Thargoid threat is how walled off they are from everything else in the game-- you have to deliberately seek them out, and that's after outfitting your ship with weapons that only work well against Thargoids and then waiting for the right NHSS to...

Hi everyone! So, I've just been doing a bit of flying around my home port of Kamadhenu, and I happened to spot that there was a Megaship near by; the Demeter Class Agricultural Vessel BKG-235. This is probably a noob thing, and I've kinda missed the whole Thargoid thing (I was 'sploring the...

This is a Staff mainly focused question, but of course everyone who has more infos and constructive feedback and comments will have a really good time. I always have been some kind of modder, from the first Unreal, passing through Neverwinter Nights and then generating Photoreal sceneries based...

So what does this new thargoid interceptor called hydra mean for gnosis? This is what I’m gathering, the system that it’s supposed to jump to is being permit locked, does that mean that everyone onboard will have to stay in that one system and if they leave they’re stranded?

why is it that we keep getting more guardian/thargoids that nobody for the exception of a select few actually like; the whole personal narrative that they keep saying is just a pretty word for GRIND. i think that frontier made a poll asking the players what they would like to see in the...

Is the 4 module cap just for guns? Or can I do 4x AX multis and a guardian shield re-enforcer?

The Rangers The Rangers If you are looking for a player group to help or support we are an active group that joined ELITE DANGEROUS before the game was launched. The main voice server is...

Targets are Pemepatung (scouts) and LP 102-320 (interceptors & scouts). No wrecked Megaships in either. We saved both systems this week. Systems are saved by kills in the target systems - each kill counts the same, so a Scout is as useful as an Interceptor. Bonds do not matter. Aegis...

Targets confirmed as Magec (scouts) and HIP 30045 (interceptors & scouts). No wrecked Megaships in either, so probably as well Ed & Will are not looking for Interceptors to kill this week* ;) We saved both systems this week - first time in 3.1. HIP 30045 is most likely to fall as it has low...

So Kamadenhu (or however it's spelled) was pretty much my home system when I started playing Elite. I was based out of there for months. So when it came under attack from Thargoids I thought I'd go and defend my one-time home. Killed two scouts 20k. Ship repairs/rearm/restock/refuel in my...

The Thargoids better run because with the new Guardian Tech, most specifically the Large Shard Cannons ... I figured out how to kill Cyclops’ in under a minute if shots are timed properly: Video: https://youtu.be/9h00rWydo5Y Here is how to do it: Scan, Exert first heart, Stay close and kill...

Dhanhopi was attacked this week, Bok was saved. New Targets confirmed as CW Ursae Majoris (nice and close to Sol) and Kamadhenu, both have NHSS and wrecked Megaships (useful for interceptors). There are interceptor-grade NHSS in CW Ursae Majoris, only scouts in Kamadhenu. Aegis ships are in...

Now that we've received official word that Thargoid massacre missions from the Aegis megaships don't count toward system defense, I'd like to propose something slightly different: Station-owning factions in systems targeted by Eagle Eye should offer add-on style missions for massacring scouts...

Is just absolutely disappointing. The story/whatever this is supposed to be is so dull. The weapons we have been allowed/given to use are trash and makes fighting Thargoids just unbelievably more lame 😒 and time consuming. But I wish Fronties would just pull their heads out of their fourth...

Targets this week are Bok and Dhanhopi. Dhanhopi is < 30 Ly from Alioth for all you Alliance fans. Dhanhopi has intercetor grade NHSS for those who want to emulate Will & Ed, Bok only has Scouts confirmed so far. Aegis ships are in Triton* and Gree if you want missions**. * No, not that...

Elite doesn't need a story with cutscenes, or at least not many. What it could really use is a set of simply missions that can steer players through all the events that Frontier has added in a contained environment where they are "new". 1. Start with the Tutorial, where you have someone guide...

Hey guys, just wanted to know your current thargoid hunting ship build. I'm currently unlocking guardian tech and wanted a good build with the current modules available. Thanks.

I initially thought this was a bug and i asked the frontier help account on twitter once i realized that the entirely new, more dangerous thargoid scouts... do not provide any bigger combat bonds at all... and this is intended behavior. Seriously?? The arguably easy thargoid scouts of before...

(The following is in part RP) Thargoid Non-Hostility Theory The following theory infers that the Thargoid, Cyclops, Basilisk, and Medusa variants of Thargoid Interceptor are not hostile towards independent CMDRs and potentially humanity as a whole. From the very first sightings of Thargoids...

So you've read or heard the newest on Galnet about some group of crazies that worship the Far God and its Angels (aka the Thargoids)? Well, we are them! Frontier took our backstory and ran with it, so if you like the Thargoids and think that its the humie's that need to go, join the Pleiades...

Ok, this was a bit of detective work and I will explain my reasoning step by step so please stay with me. My theory has some gaps and I will point them out but my line of thinking has enough evidence to let the community in on it and ask for help. This Thread is a WIP and I will add proof and...

When will we see thargoids pop in and out of instances like in Haz Rez while bounty hunting or mining? Picture it.....going about your business when all of a sudden the area is given a "unknown slip space signature" warning. Scouts start pouring in attacking anything within the vicinity NPC...

I have looked around. I know that we have some basics on Thargoid interaction with cargo. I've been recording my own data. But what I want to know, and I've googled, searched, etc, has anyone gotten a COMPLETE list of interactions? Which is to say have they mined, bought etc EVERY item in the...

Greetings Commanders, It has been bugging me for AGES, the fact that I have heard the term before, so , for months now, i have been trolling through the internet, trying to find the original reference for "Thargoids", and I think I have found it, believe it or not, the earliest reference on tv...

EXPOSE. RESIST. RISE. ERR is an anti-Aegis player faction, whose goal is to expose the corruption behind Aegis, and in the long term, dwindle their numbers, and possibly eradicate them as a whole. We intend to do this through relatively, and hopefully, peaceful means. But in the situation that...

With the announcement of Chapter 2 today I want to make a push for some of things I (and others) want to see. 1.) Bring back Hyperdictions. Right now unless you go hunting, the Thargoids are just kinda there. Not the ever present threat and invasion force they're made out to be in the lore. One...

Star systems and stations that have been attacked have lots of nice decoration and atmosphere. In addition, they offer missions that are directly attached to this that are both cool and profitable, awarding credits, materials, reputation and data. However, systems that are about to be attacked...

In recent days pilots operating on behalf of the Phoenix Campaign have forced systems and stations under the control of Aegis into lockdown through a series of targeted military strikes and other activities. These actions are in response to the following – 1) The continuing lies...

A big complaint with the current Thargoid invasion is that it doesn't even feel like and invasion; everything just goes on as normal and factions don't seem the least bit interested that Thargoids have appeared in their space and are targeting their stations and ships. Here are a few ways in...

How about a new category of adversary; escape pod occupants that have been programmed by the Thargoids to attack humans and infiltrate the population?

So the GalNet Article today seemed to be yet another attempt to "further" the sadly underbaked Thargoid-invasion bolt-on narrative. If somehow you missed it, you can read it here. In the article, one anxious Councillor, Rasmus Tseng, does some dramatic hand wringing, finishing his quote with...
