Ever since we got the toys to face our new biggest threat this Thread has been chocked with "Buff the thargoids". Which as a lover of challengers I understand completely , been trying all morning to rip a wing off one in a stock Icourier (well almost with a G5 thruster 
). in doing this it has awakened me to a somewhat valid point. what about the little guys of the game??
All the Kills I have seen so far have either 2 things in common. either;
-In a high 'tier' ship (cutters and corvettes so far). or
- in a squad and absolutely gangbang the thing, then turn around and say "it's too weak"
it seems the moment someone kills something it is "too weak" and "needs a buff", these almost half-cocky gestures are being thrown about without any consideration for other factors. like;
-All of these encounters have only been 1 of the basic ship (Cyclops) yet it holds it's own reasonably well against small squads and large ships (with battles lasting up to and over 20min) a single foe with that capability deserves some respect. not like most ships that serve as laser bait.
- keep in mind for all you guys who may have super death machines there are also players who don't... seems they miss out all together.
-all well and good if you have a squad of buddies around, but for those who like to do things personally they will be more pressed to do so.
- this is only the first basic ship, I have been interdicted by a bigger one with a different 'wing' type. so you WILL have your challenge soon I bet also have the vid if anyone is interested. by it's profile at 400m I can guess it is about 1.5x bigger.
In conclusion, Ignore what I said in the title, Cyclops' don't need to be nerfed or buffed. but please show a little respect and consideration to other players who may not be as well off as you.
Best of luck! even if they aren't a challenge!
