Fight for the gnosis - Damn those invisible buggy bug bugs.

[[VR] M4st0d0n]

Invisible scouts around the Gnosis last night. I tried AX cannon to no effect. Sometime some of them had fluffy light orbs. My guess is the model don't even load and these are just the propulsion trails.

Other interesting fact, shooting through those things and scratching the station will get you a bounty. Don't forget the gamey mechanics of purging said bounty in the station you very tried to defend.

I tried Flak at first thinking it was some kind of swarm, but the Gnosis shoot the load before it reaches anything. Acting like a broken point defense not able to discern friendly missiles I guess.

After a few run scooping escape pod around in the system and bringing one meta alloy, I'm finally back from this buggy mess, at California Nebula, after my AspScout has been vaporized by one single shot from the defenseless Gnosis. Crime and punishment reveal to be real quality of life improvement for my way back to the bubble.

But hey they warned about bugs waiting there amirite? XD

Despite what FD said about them not attacking before you leave the pad, they still do, so be careful. It happened to me twice. The last time (last night), there was a whole swarm of scouts, so my prismatic shields were nearly gone before I could see who was shooting. Layer, when I came back to the Gnosis, a big swarm materialised out of nowhere, so I had to leave and come back again. When I came back, there were none, so it seems to be random whether they're there or not.

I saw those too, I suspected an instancing/synchronisation issue (there were several CMDRs in the instance), as I had experienced invincible NPCs with erratic movement before, in RESs and CZs with other players. Did others see the exact same enemies at the same time?

Sitting inside the Gnosis and I might as well not even have bothered being here. You can't fight or escape from what you can't kill or see. Disappointed that FD still can't seem to get things right.

Grow up and stop being a baby. There is barely any danger whatsoever

I've had a few of these invisible ships. I just liked to think that the thargoids had managed to get their hands (or maybe tentacles) on some Klingon cloaking tech, and have managed to integrate it into a few scouts vessels.

Not my video, but it's the first you get on youtube searching "invisible scout elite dangerous". Others decribed it in the bug section of the forum. Hydras and now phantoms. XD

I saw them in Open in an instance of maybe four peeps. Not in a wing.

Also, other interesting fact, you dont have to get the last hit on visible scouts to get the 10k creds. I believe they are shared even with non-wing members.

I used to like to think about a lot of stuff while seeing glitches. Now I just take my pills, it's all better.

Have you ever considered the fact that other opinions and situations might be different to you own, or have you developed such an entitled sense of superiority that you're unable to work that out for yourself. For some of us who took exploration builds, it's an awkward and unmanageable situation. Having been destroyed already, your comment is laughable.
