[patttiat]

... they are probing us for weaknesses.”

At last! An explanation for that uncomfortable feeling!

Imminent means likely to occur at any moment; impending. So I think 2.4 will launch in about a week.

I'd prefer the week after, since I'm away camping. Someone send a message asking them to postpone the invasion?

Bonus? Genuinely don't understand here.

Whenever he says *anything* you say "right", Brett. You know that?

Apparently "fast" to Thargoids means "glacial" to our understanding of the word.

Don't listen to other people and take a UA with you. In January, I spent 6 hours jumping around Maia with no avail. Then I took a UA and got a hyperdiction within 20 minutes. I know many people with no UAs got it, but I just can't help but think it must at least increase the chances somewhat.

When I was hyperdicted it was with a UA also as I jumped away from an Ammonia world. From what I read it seems likely that it's got something to do with honking a UP, carrying a UA or otherwise interacting with Thargoid stuff.

I would note the SCIENTIST says

“We are faced with a number of pressing questions. Why have the Thargoids entered human space? Can we communicate with them? Are they hostile? Hopefully Aegis can provide us with some answers.”

it is the JOURNALIST for an IMPERIAL GOSSIP RAG that insists they are probing for an attack

Based on what, the Journalist's expetise in sensationalising non news for increased readership?

Good point. I hope someone tries to communicate with them. What if they're trying to warn us of something worse emerging from the Formidine Rift area...

Better get our asses in gear and find that intergalactic gateway at Raxxla...

I might head over to Maia and see what all the fuss is about who knows I might get jumped by a Thargoid invasion fleet

 

[Zebaoth]

their behaviour certainly seems to suggest they are probing us for weaknesses.

Thargoids are currently finishing the development of their Vegan Gluten-Lactose-Crossfit cannons.

Perhaps I should go and consult the oracle again.

PS - This will be the third year I've visited, and the third year I still cannot land here.

Good luck with that...

“The barnacles seem to indicate that the Thargoids were in Maia and Merope long before we were. For all we know, humanity has expanded into what the Thargoids see as their territory. I have no interest in scaremongering, but my belief is that a Thargoid attack could be imminent – their behaviour certainly seems to suggest they are probing us for weaknesses.”

Link.

Imminent means likely to occur at any moment; impending. So I think 2.4 will launch in about a week.

I look forward to the highly interesting random interdictions and reskinned CZs that will ensue...

The days of exploring in weak shielded, light hull ships with no defence is about to end.

That's okay. My smuggling Asp can still pull almost 50ly with A rated shields and engines with DD5.

I doubt it... Why annoy most of the community for no reason?

 

[RagingxPenguin]

Sounds like the Thargoids will be opt in. I'm desperately hoping it's more than reskinned CZs and missions.

But it gives those who are unwilling to change playstyle or not capable of the challenge a chance to remain with their rose colored glasses on as they tottle about.

I hope the Thargoids are mean.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

Until someone figures out how to counter the Thargoid EMP effect, you're still a sitting duck whether you fly an 8000MJ Cutter or a shieldless Hauler.

And the "ship biowaste to Maia" CG to hold off the alien advance

This and with the trailer, I suspect 2.4 will come sooner than we think...

Dude. They're mysterious.

But will rise again as soon as the player base cry because their pseudo-combat p0wnz0r build gets blown up by some basic space bug.
