Horizons Hunting Thargoids is just too difficult.

[Gaffa]

G'day all,
well two ships later(Federal Corvettes fully fitted out), I have decided that hunting Thargoids is not for me, I am a solo player and the dynamics of the game plus the light weight weapons available make it impossible for a single player to achieve winning Thargoid encounters. So the game has been placed on hold until exploration becomes more interesting with hopefully the updates proposed in 2018.

Cue in the "Git Gud" comments...

From what I've seen it is very hard to do from a solo playstyle, hence, no interest to me as is the whole 2.4 experience which quickly becomes a been there, done that, check list. The lack of story driven content that the average player has time to engage in and make sense of, as well as the lack of adequate tools to accomplish the narrative is frustrating and makes it hard to even think about doing.

As a group, we took 1 and a half wings out to fight the aliens. We got close but could not kill one before having to break off.
Our group was devided in two about this. Half of us including me loved it! The music, the danger, we had a blast and liked the fact that the galaxy is now more “dangerous” than it was before. I like that there is now this high end for the ace players.
The other half of the group was a bit grumpy, wanting to win as we always do in PvE.
Anyway that is our story, 2 weeks of a great time before we all returned to the bubble, half of us happy that it was too hard, half of us grumpy that it was too hard...

This may sound like I am joking but .... wait for the T-10? Sounds like it is built to survive (if it lives up to its name of Defender).

Thankyou all for your comments, I will await the T10 and take it from there.
Yours aye

I think if FDevs develop the gimballed version of AX weapons, it will make it far more easier to solo encounter Thargoids.

Excellent tactic by the DEV's! Now all you advanced combat jockeys have your appropriately difficult npc foe to keep you busy with. Now just let the rest of us know when and where your planning on doing this so we can come by and watch/help out!

Should have been in from the start.
