How will you react when it all hits the fan?

You hit the button for the FSD to kick in and relax a little as you hear the 4…3…2…1… Engage from the ships computer. You ease the throttle back to ensure you don’t face plant into the star you are heading towards – you’ve done this 10,000 times before and know how long it takes, hence you take a sip of your drink just as the ships alarms go wild, lights begin to flash and the cockpit is filled with the crashing sound of your ship being ripped from the area some call Witch space .
You look up at the HUD to see 3 ships approaching you. One from the front and the other two from the left rear and right rear… your ships sensors lock onto the lead ship. The hexagonal shape you see reminds you of the ships from all of those old Thargoid war films you used to watch.

These are the Thargoids of legend, this is your Kobayashi Maru…

The question is simple – how do you react?

a) I never have the trottle at 0 while jumping to a system.
b) 4 pips to shields. Pull up while wondering why Thargoids have no understanding of 3D space.

flip 90 degrees up or down - boost. Clearly, they only think in 2D if they try to corner you with three ships on the same plane.

To be honest, it's really hard not to form a pane with 3 points ;)

I am flying a sidewinder with no shields or hard points, exploring on the way back from Sag A*, so ya easy I would show them how combat works!

f10 and alt f4, but the f10 being optional. ;) [haha]

then have my alt f4 keys at the ready until I can sell my discovery data back in the bubble. [yesnod]

Given recent responses to AI, chances are FD won't take the risk of putting in highly skilled thargoid ships attacking us.

So my reaction? Turn the recording on and show the forums a video of the first Thargoid deaths in ED.

Nothing much really. Apart from shooting them or just flying away there isn't rrally a thing one could possibly do. I mean, there is no other way to interact with them.

Yeah well, this is FDev. Good UI for interaction with .. anyone, still has yet to come. I am sure, it is "being look at", "would be nice to have", "will be added in the future". God forbid roadmaps.

On a serious note, I've spent the last couple months modding my Exploraconda (among other ships) to the hilt with top shelf upgrades, and now that thing's a BEAST; just bring it on, buggers!

What turnrate has your ship, how are your weapons working and how is your ships heat radiated, when your jump ends in Witch Space and not in our realm of existance? You know.... Thargoids can do this... Be sure... Noone wants to receive, whats been brought on...

My fully engineered and armed DBX is heading to the H&S nebulae. Hoping to start accelerating that mass of excrement towards the galactic fan. Operation "Shoot First!" has begun!

Alttab, run obs, record mainscreen... alttab back, say "you have chosen wrong species to attack, FOR THE EMPIRE!" all pips in shields, deploy weapons, boost, prepare for raming speed. Then i would most likely die.


NOTE: formatting on phone sucks.

I would probably die. Since I'm out in the black, my shields are off and everything I don't need are unpowered to conserve energy. I would also remember to screenshot..... just after they destroy me! [haha]

Depends.. If they give me one of their ships or not. If not, they can experience the full power of my fully modded, armed and operational mobile battlestation. :D Eat thermal cascade you nasty little insects! Time for some pest control [haha]
