Not sure of any relevance but the FSD event scans with plasma arms sticking out from the top of the alien craft. The barnacle event seems to use a tractor beam from the bottom of the craft. The arms aren't really used until the craft opens a 'wormhole'. Certainly this event gives insight into the anatomy of the ship.

Would be handy to have a base in Eta Carina if we find a few more ruins & want to coordinate a search - but not if we had to leave the Gnosis there until 2.5.
Do we know if docked CMDRs move with the ship? Would be a fun way to organise trips to remote areas
We believe we'll be able to move it once a week, and we think docked Cmdrs will move with it. To be confirmed, obviously.
I'm was wondering mainly because of the roll playing aspects & 'keeping it real';
a) Will CMDRs have to band together from time to time to help refuel the Gnosis or does she have a very large fuel scope(s)? I ask as there was a CG to fuel Jaques station before she left and while the Gnosis is not a station she will have to be refueled and replenished from time to time?
b) It's my understanding mega and capital ships travel shower in witch space as they are forced to use the older drive technology due to there size, if so will the Gnosis take the appropriate time while traveling over large distances?
soz if these questions have been asked before.
"Gary? Why are all these humans honking and flashing lights at our ship?" *shrugs* *puffs* "Ayy Lmao." "Figures."
As much as I hate having timed things, I feel that for this type of event it should be at a regular interval, especially if it's something that is only spawned on an instance change. Being in MC, you can't use SRV so if that's is how this event is triggered then anybody who wants to do MC can't experience this. If it was set up as an hourly or every other hour type of thing, people could know where to be and you could get it in any mode.
Come see the Thargoids! Shows every hour! Be sure to tip your waitress!
Right, I don't know though if these are refueling stations you'd think they'd get regular use, nonetheless, they are interacting and taking something so you'd think different ships would do them at different times. And since we know where they will be why not set up so they can have certain intervals. Especially if these thing only trigger on instance changes.
That is the usual message you get when you've entered a trespass/security zone.
Sure. Let us just make sure that Harry Potter isn't the one trying to convey our message to the aliens.
Might be too late. From Formidine Rift thread https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_co...ALxEym269IPjfBo5dGLTvxXTFLhNNCbCqjKebCgElb9ig
According to the YT description this guy fired 6 torpedoes, lasered it, and UP bombed it
edit: Cmdr HP has had an encounter starting at 27minutes

Hypothesis: Haven't watched it all yet, but looks to me at 29 minutes after the flowership has harvested that the MA and other mineral pods are still on the barnacle spikes. which implies the "harvesting event" is not collecting the materials but is perhaps just concerned with the energy beam link to the barnacle. I think I've speculated before that the barnacle has some form of energy source due to it's glow (& maybe the "fireflies"), so perhaps this is a refuelling event. The apparent collection of material from the surface may be happenstance & due to the flowership's anti-gravity drive.

It looks like Cmdr IAMF1 has reported this on:

I have got the obelisk count after surveying these 3 sites but can't edit the entries (of course).

Can any Cannon members do this?

seeing as quite a few players have shot at them dont expect them to be inviting you round, it probably will end in war. First we raided the barnacles then all the things we could find stealing probes etc, now we shoot at em. Doesn't look good does it?
thargoids are probably just repairing their capital ship and they need meta-alloy's to do it.
If anyone wants lots of closeups of the alien ship.
I have 8hrs of random video of it on my Twitch and on my youtube.

And some Alt-F10 closeup Images
Use however you want.

Or some idiot shot up their karaoke bar and they need to repair it.
I don't think they have a karaoke bar in their scout ships, and that's the only ship other people have seen/shot at.
Edit: I do however believe the structure we saw in the pax east trailer was a downed thargoid capital ship. So either the thargoids would want to fix it, or they're building a new one and need a lot of meta-alloys to do it.

I've been hanging around for 4 hours at OI-T C3-7 and so far nothing….
Never been hyperdicted either.
Beginning to wonder if I need to change my aftershave.
