If a mother Ship exists how do we find it?

[DoctorDoom]

If there is a mother-ship of some kind how do we find it?

If there is a mother ship it might need to be guarded. Could the mother ship be correlated to hyperdictions? Also the thargoids have cargo do they off load it at some location. (some suggest Col. 70)

I believe that the interceptors are part of a fleet. (some suggest fleeing from the red thargoids) Would that fleet not have a forward operations base. an FOB I

feel if there is a fleet there maybe a carrier vessel. Assuming thargoids would need to protect it with a lot of nearby vessels. Could the number of ships present at hyperdictions indicate you are near something important?

Are hyperdictions relevant at all? Or something the devs tossed in to look cool?

If the greens have a mother-ship. Would the reds also have a mother-ship?

What other information do we have that could narrow down an exact location. And does it really exist?

Is threat 7 a myth.

Dunno

The Klaxians(red thargoid) indicate a military presence. Perhaps the hyperdiction is a way to evalute threats to a FOB. If they posses capital ships. They have at least 2. I still strongly feel the number of thargoids present during hyperdiction is important some how.

I plan to invesgate. I think that the hyperdictions are patrols.

First I need more lore on thargoid witch space, sensors and communication tech, jump range.

Is there a lore expert in the house?

Witch Space, is a separate dimension plane, or planes.
Ships need to manoeuvre and travel in witch space just as they do in real space
Distances in witch space are different to real space, so a distance of 7 light years in real space might equate to 10 light seconds in witch space
Thus to travel that 7 light years, a ship shifts to witch space, then travels those 10 light seconds in sub-light equivalent drive travel, then exits witch space 7 light years away
Mass from real space has shadows in Witch space
Thagoids could intercept ships travelling in Witch space and pull them out, as all ships traveled there all ships have been susceptible, the lack of reported incident does not mean some drives were immune.- orginally posted by vasious

Thargoids surface structure might be some old mother ship that are being repairing right now.
And yup, thargoid mothership are that big.

1. Deploy bait
2. ???
3. Die

I have often wondered this too. I feel that if they have a cap ship then it will be hidden in witchspace. Cant the thargoids hold station inside witchspace?

I believe in the old stories I heard that their motherships can hover in witchspace

But then I listen to any amount of drunken ramblings

Can you find out which story that's from?

Threat 7 NHSS aren't a myth, though I've never encountered one. This is just one of several videos of that USS out there though.

I don't believe anyone's seen one since early on though, which leads me to conclude they were most likely a bug. I think when they come back they might contain something more threatening.

Wouldn't argue with that at all, just pointing out that they do exist/did exist at one point. If they no longer spawned in the Pleiades, they could have been taken out of the game after mistakenly being put in, or they could even be just moved elsewhere in the galaxy and fixed. Guess we'll find out soon enough

Or not old at all, but a new one being grown.

Why do people think there is a 'mother ship'? Have I missed something? Humans don't have a mother ship. Why would Thargoids? (That's not to say they don't, I'm just wondering as it seems a bit specific).

Thanks. Ive been looking for them for quite some time. Any evidence for threat 9 rumors/speculations/lies?

It was specifically stated in the recent INRA outpost logs they encountered a huge mothership. Since Interceptors are hardly big enough to mistake for a capital ship of some kind, it's logical to assume there is indeed something that big out there.

 

[Saool]

This I did not know. And I thought I had read them. Vest go re-read. Or better still, go visit.

EDIT: I may have dismissed it as meaning a standard Octagon ship. EG mother ship of Thargons.

 

[Kaltern]

Visit. It's a great place, and the logs are audio. Superb ambience.

 

[Aerthran]

Hmm.. I'm far from the Pleiades, but I have this idea: Perhaps you can get the location of the mothership by looking at the direction that the Thargoid ships take just before entering in witchspace. Its only an idea..

First Frontier has to add the Thargoid mothership to the game.... only then can we find it.

Given the slow progression of the Thargoid narative... it may be late December.

Which logs?
