Hive ship speculation

Ok, we know the bugs have various scouts, interceptors, crashed bases, and barnacles.

So the first hive ships appear.

How long before someone posts "Taken down a hive ship in a stock sidewinder video" if the hive ships are too easy and if hive ships are really hard to kill , how long before "Whaaaaa my wing of fully engineered guardian AX ships capable of killing a hydra got taken out with one shot" comments appear in the forums....

And how long before BOTH types appear regardless....

Wanna speculation? Hive ship is already in the game.
Why I think so? Because I have a way bellow spec laptop and I am half-blind.
Can Sidewinder take it down? Dunno, Hive ship is cca 25 times (5x5) bigger then Hydra.

Speculation: Typhon will be fun. Not!

In 2 years time the foruns will indeed be raging about how easy a hive ship is to kill with a sidey armed only with mining lasers and how OP it is and how it destroys armadas with only a flip of its petals.

Half the stations in the bubble will be damaged, but the good news is the entire player base will be both duke and rear admiral!

I dunno,

wouldn't it be interesting if there was one of these new player events that they're talking about turns out to be a mass assault on a Hive ship approaching Sol.

That would be interesting.

I can imagine how hilariously the instancing would break for an event that large.

Imagine...

After various exploration CG events, the first hive ship was found, then CMDRs had to battle across Tharg systems, hyperdicted every jump then instantly attacked.

Fuel rats and repair guys doing relay maintenace/restocking of the combat pilots. Once a path has been found, then secured, assault on the hive ship can begin.

This requires a full wing, including one small ship, that has to be kept alive long enough to fly inside the gigantic hive ship, taking unavoidable caustic damage.

Whilst the rest of the wing trys to stay alive and keep an escape route clear, the small ship has to fly through the bowels of hell to deliver doom to a heart. There are 100 hearts, each group of 10 in a different part of the hive ship. Level 1-10 per 10 hearts, with 10 being insane FA off only near impossible.

After 2weeks, if all 100 hearts are not destroyed, the hive ship regens and jumps closer to the bubble, laying waste to any stations in that system. I mean destroys the stations, not disables them, destroys them.

New weapons could be developed needing mined parts, supplies would need delivering, all in the name of saving the bubble.

Involve everyone, they all have a vital role to play, explorers, traders, miners, pew-pewers.

Sorry rant over lol

Just coz i never actually said anything about this before. $5 says it's the "Thargoid Structures" that are actually the mother ships. HIP22460 site will activate eventually and destroy Overlook.

Tinfoil hattery: All of those structures are being continualy 'worked on' by little skimmer things... you may actually be more accurate than you think :)
