Titan Taranis destruction yields extensive data for research projects​

12 MAR 3310

The recent destruction of Titan Taranis has yielded a significant amount of data that scientists across the galaxy have begun interrogating.

Science correspondent Leon Banerjee summarised for Vox Galactica:

“Research on Titans has been ongoing since their first appearance, and understanding how they function has been considered crucial to humanity’s survival in the Thargoid war.”

“I have spent time with everyone from the smallest private research bodies to the largest corporations in the past few years, and the common anxiety amongst the scientific community is still how little we truly understand about the Titans.”

“What answers does the caustic remnant of Taranis contain? What might have survived the destruction? When the wreckage is safe enough to enter, the additional data to be found there will doubtless benefit humanity in some form.”

Now i wished they didn't spoiled the new ships, right? RIGHT?
edit: But... maybe they didn't spoiled just everything?


(damned if they do, damned if they don't)

 

[Felix DiCestria]

A whole pile of Unknown Relics/Torps?

 

[Factabulous]

Always nice to have some foreshadowing. I wonder if Galnet will tell ppl when Leigong is going down any time soon, or haven't the scientists been studying that?

Python MKII, here we go!

Maybe we'll get a Titan MKII—or Guardian constructs—too, if we're lucky

 

[Alec Turner]

But but ... what data? What are we going to find in there? Surely you must be able to tell us something more?!?!

As usually, they'll leave it to us, independent pilots, those foolhardy hotheads no-one will miss if KIA-d the bravest and most skilled pilots in the galaxy always out for a quick profit selflessly putting themselves in the harm's way for the sake of humanity

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

Maybe they can crack the code now and try to open communications?

 

[Kira Goto]

“We did a great job killing the massive alien ship that was likely highly unique and either took really long to make or existed for an extremely long time! Now let’s go prod its corpse so we can make better guns and further our own technology in ways we shouldn’t yet be able to.”

Humans and respect are clearly not two words that fit into the same sentence together.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for the ability of humans to devise better weapons based on what they've done to the bodies of their enemies with the weapons they already have.

Just...

You’re making me struggle to amend the statement properly to account for this. Curse you.

Just...

What do you mean? It can’t go wrong. It never has.

(Titans with torpedo immunity - if we get that - are going to be a big headache for those Aegis science folk. And Ram Tah especially. Sure doubt the same trick would work twice… but I don’t think I’ll be selling out to the magic solution which may or may not be presented by a certain someone in the Guardian network, though.)

Don't worry I'll hold your beer.*


*relax I don't drink beer but I will keep it nicely warm as it should be

[SlickPBW]

sounds like an incoming CG to recover data stuffs.


Hopefully this will lead to more efficient Thargoid extermination. Or maybe the (missed opportunity / planned) on foot combat against xeno morphs.

 

[Kzak]

Whatever survived the Titan explosion will be tough on an entirely different scale than what we have seen so far in Elite.

IFF the Python MK2 is born from discoveries in the Titan wreckage, then that would, IMO, dramatically increase the likelihood that the new "feature" in the pipes will revolve around 'deep diving' into Thargoid-populated sectors (which would be permit-unlocked, I guess), hopefully for some new non-combat activities, maybe to assist Thargoids (if they become supportable via PP2), and likely to continue combat like we have in the bubble. But, I don't want to turn this into the "new feature speculation" thread either.

Maybe it’s immunity to hyperdictions ?
