I agree, I like the way FD implemented the Thargoids, it's a great PvE challenge that you can do on your own for a challenge or distribute the challenge among friends.
As for farming, I am doing a few more for the sake of the loot they drop, some of them are engineering materials, so I want to stock up a little. The advantage of soloing is you keep the loot all to yourself.
Heh, thank you, and yes, good ol' days of the reverse ski...
Watching the fight with the weak points made me reminesce of old shoot 'em ups
But I agree it is a nice way of doing it not just making them bullet sponges.Robert Maynard

They drop human engineering materials? Or is this for some new engineering options?
Thanks for this video. My first attempt ended up with the Thargoid having 50% on his last heart and me running out of ammo. I think a few more tries and ill have it.
I would assume they drop the same random stuff the Barnacle sites can? It wasn't just meta alloys from there either, you could get a wide variety of material grades.
Check out my video, it's toward the end I check the contact panel. They drop two engineering materials and a cargo item called "Thargoid Heart".
No problem, it took me a few practice runs before I got it right. The key to using your ammo efficiently is to be patient, and let the Interceptor go into a linear path toward you, where you missiles cannot miss.
Oh they drop new stuff, check it out in the video, it's toward the end.
Just lol, Thx Glutony! for this thread and video where I had good laugh, both very nicely put together and informative. Sadly only can give +rep once.
The only bad thing is the cloud they leave behind makes it impossible to pick anything up from it without risking getting blown up.
Collection limpets should work? Some Slot 2 wouldnt hurt the hull tank.
Guess that's where the HRPs will come in then. But it really is nice to see an enemy that's even a threat when blowing up. When I watched for a moment I thought it would go Singularity Core critical on you alá Romulans. But a highly caustic stinking cloud also works.
While it can probably be done, ATM the more hull reinforcement you can get the better to survive + shield and scb. And who has most Optional space... Biggies
One last hurrah.
If they can't mess you up in life, they'll do it in death instead.
