Good lord, I had no idea thargoid scouts were this big!

Sidewinder & scout size comparison.

Now on to the juicy part of my post:

There's a human in the image above, can you spot him?

Ah... there's the cheeky fella. Does this count as first footfall on a thargoid?

Are thargoids asexual?

Oh biowaste, what did he do?

RIP

They seem to miss tentacles

They seem to miss tentacles

Did they confess that to someone?

I get XCom Interceptor vibes from this.

As someone who used to fight scouts in a sidewinder, yeah, they're bigger.

Have you tried to rub it´s belly? Maybe it´ll become docile.

I used to know someone by the name of Miss Tentacles but that's a much longer story for another time and in a different setting.

That's very impressive! How did you hitch the ride?

That's very impressive! How did you hitch the ride?

From the source:

When you go to an abandoned settlement, revenant are there. Clear those out, a scout comes in and deploys a new wave.

But then the scouts kinda aggregate and sit there, not doing anything, about 600m up.

Using an Artemis suit with jump assist to fly (upwards 10m at a time), I was able to jump up to the top of the scouts and walk around on top.

Oddly enough, they ignored my scorpion parked underneath, until I got back in. They destroyed it before I exited the black loading screen lol

That's it, I have got to try this.

And.. what... what was going through your mind at this point? Some sort of Kirk/Kelinda approach to conflict resolution?

Admittedly, that's a fine-looking scout. You'd have made a lovely couple if you hadn't shot its ball.
