thargoids

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...

So, tonight I was out gathering meta alloys from barnacle sites and the first site I went to had a POI in my Nav panel. I had a wingman with me and told him to lock on to it, he couldn't see it. Confused, I told him to just follow my wing beacon. We gathered what we could and he got off. I...

o7 commanders, this info might be of interest for commanders who are seeking out Thargoids and don't find any... I'm currently at the rescue ship at Sturckow Port in the SPOCS 253 system. In the mission screen there, sometimes Thargoid hunting missions are available. Sadly the rescue ship is...

How hard is it to kill Thargoids alone, or in a wing? Can it be done alone? What ship, and load out did it take for you fight it alone?

In researching Thargoid jumpdrive technology, the first breakthrough was discovered by accident. I was a crewman aboard the ship that saw it happen. The first tests seemed fruitless. Something about them had piqued the interest of a pair of interceptors, who dropped down to see clearly...

Several months ago, in my first contact with Thargoids, they attacked my Diamondback Explorer after a misunderstanding of their (in hindsight) rather obvious threat display-- we assumed it was their way of showing off their newly-purchased red lighting effects. In any case, in the weeks...

Right now the Thargoids feel too detached from the normal flow of the game and hardly feel like an alien invasion that has all of humanity concerned. I think that the effects of the Thargoid invasion should be felt throughout the human bubble and not just be confined to optional fights in some...

As the title says it, but to be specific, it was told that the chances are high we could find a thargoid base, artifacts or anything related to the Thargoids if we explore the galactic core, since their homeworld is in the opposite area of the galaxy but closer to the core than we are. I've...

Hi After watching Obsidian Ants video on Arrival - The Alien Story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6eOU9LnTaM he mentions that in January 3303 the first encounter occurred with a Cyclops Interceptor, in Paledies sector. The Cyclops uses EMP to disable the ship and then leave. I really want...

https://youtu.be/pBDkQFNRejg This guy says that we have been attacking the wrong thargoids all this time. Please watch the video and let me know your thoughts on this.

I tried to contact support to find out my total Thargoid kills because that information isn't in the game, unlike total skimmers killed. I was told they can't help me. It is unbelievable that Thargoid kills aren't tracked and that this info isn't available in the statistics panel. Please put...

Hi there, I did a PvP fight in a conflict zone. All of a sudden I got the message "hazardous Substance Detected" and soon my internal moduels started to melt. Shields were up throug out the entire fight. So are there player or human npc weapons that can cause this effect? As I said in the...

I thought I would share, that in my travels recently in the irandan system I found a large number of Thargoid Ships. I found that their behaviour was very interesting to say the least. I drop into a number of signal sources at threat level 5 and found them scanning ships that they had disabled...

(image via Reddit) Thargoids are all on holiday. They still hang out in Non Human Signal Sources in the Pleiades - closer to Merope you get more. They are also in the Witch Head Nebula - centred around Witch Head Sector IR-W C1-8, but most inhabited systems will have them. You can also get...

Recently it has been announced that the Thargoids are believed to be migratory. Given the Thargoid's preference for neblua perhaps it is time for a focused search for new barnacle sites well beyond the Pleiades. Specifically, looking at nebulae near Colonia, on the way to Colonia, clusters of...

Where will you on that fateful day? Intel has shown that the Thargoids and their human allies have learned of this operation and are expected to do their best at stopping us. Security Forces to secure the perimeter are in high demand. Guardian Weapons and Large Ships with capable CMDR's are...

Hi, in October and November 2017 I outfitted an Anaconda with experimental weapons and lots of armor and had like 15 -20 tries on killing Thargoid cyclops interceptors. Tried a lot of different setups but never managed to kill the thing solo. Usually I got out alive with 10% hull, but once in...

Just finished attempting to kill a Basilisk with my wing mates, and it was a terrible idea. I enjoy almost every single aspect of the Thargoid combat, but one thing, it's Thargon Swarm. How can I protect myself and wing from a onslaught of kamikaze Thargons?! I just bit a 30 mil rebuy and my...

... so PLEASE STOP KILLING THEM. :) Here's the "rear view" of one .. Note the central rearward opening we first saw in the early crashed ones... (500x495) You can easily see the 4 "drive units" / "thrusters" / "exhaust ports" (whatever they are), and of course you can still see the total of 8...

Hi all, For the past 2 months or so I've been out in the black exploring in my quest to reach Elite status (earned last week, finally). As a result I've remained somewhat disconnected from the rest of the game - particularly new content - and the community. Now I'm back in the bubble I really...

Hi guys I'm on my way to purchase an alliance chieftain and I want to pursue thargoids doing there planetary missions and fighting them in space but don't know how or where to get started advice please

I recorded the message from the thargoids (sorry if it's not the best) and uploaded the video to YouTube, i can't decode it as I don't have the right software, so I was hoping some other community members would be able to do it, it seems to be the same form as the first audio messages that gave...

This was some interesting information about the guardians of things that happen in the past and their fate thanks to all those commanders who found the info and the Canonn research group. By the way *spoilers* https://canonn.science/codex/guardians-codex/

First, please give us a reason to fight the Thargoids. I have been fighting Thargoid scouts in a Chiefain (non-AX weapons) and it is a lot of fun (which is its own intrinsic reward and currently the only reward). I have been doing this in a system overrun with Thargoids with a still-function...

Commanders. Further analyst of the data gathered at Guardian bunker site together with data gathered about Thargoid physical appearance seem to confirm that the pictogram shares a number of similarities with the descriptions of the Thargoids that are available from...

Transmission Begins. It is important to recharge your batteries so you can tackle the problem from a different angle. After several days rest and contemplation about the problem that lied in front of me; being to get good data on the pictograms that are carved into the back wall of the bunker...

Dear Fellow Explorers, I write to you in the comfort of my spacecraft that humbly sits at Guardian Site SYNUEFE EU-Q C21-10 A3. After many hours of going back and forth, covering a couple thousand light years trying ideas and so forth the answer was sitting right in front of me the whole time...

I have just received word that there have been more attacks. My heart goes out to the lives lost in Bhal and Nauni. I hope they will receive the same support we have in speedy evacuations. This guerilla warfare style hit and run tactic aims to keep us occupied and unaware. A bigger threat than...

I am probably classed as a semi-noob on here but I have done a fair few hours and travelled a fair bit (I think), but I came a cross some Thargoids whilst on solo play down near the Pleiades sector, and got wiped out. Whilst venturing away from there in search of better armour I spotted amongst...

As it stands the latest station to be attacked sits less then 150 LY from the edge of human colonized space (129.66 LY from my measurement site) and each attack site appears to be exponentially further from the pleadies then the previous. Furthermore it is likely that this Incursions is set...

how come we dont have atmo planets, space legs and player own planetary bases? no man sky did this with a small team. im Sure that Fdev has better equipment and more experienced staff to make this happens. plus they keep getting revenue from in-game purchases. it seems that they dont want to or...

When will we see interactions other than signal source and what would you like to see?

Hi Cmdrs, this forum is a bit overwhelming for newcomers so apologies if this is not in the right section. I'm a fairly average player who's got 800 and odd hours under the belt most of it just doing my own thing and not really worrying about rep and making money so I still have plenty to learn...

Has anyon tired giving thargoids slaves or escape pods

Been cruising around outside the bubble, finally exploring in earnest. I've made it to the Pleiades. I've got a Cobra MKIII, and hoping to sell a bunch of data to upgrade. If I'm planning on sticking around the Pleiades and California nebulae areas for a while, is it worth picking up a...

Dateline: The Galactic Enquirer. January 15th, 3304. Blackmount Orbital, HIP 17692, Pleiades sector. “War,” Winters once famously said, “brings out the worst and the best in people.” Nowhere today is that more evident than in the space around Blackmount Orbital. The heroism and...

o7 xbox Cmdrs, I have a problem during fight with Thargoids : - When we fight Thargoid (threat 5) in the Pleiades with 1 wing of 4 pilots = All is working as intended. - When we fight Thargoid (threat 5 or 6 and 7) in the Pleiades with 2 wings of 4 pilots = The Thargoid dosn't take all the...
