I have been present for the 7 Titan supposed destructions. We have never actually seen it explode. Moving something that large might cause the big white light. The junk left over could just be like leaving oil and floaties in the water to look like a sunken ship. I think we are in for a big surprise. We never saw them arrive so we don't know what it looks like. Thoughts?
just for fun : The Titans aren't dead they just moved.

Actually what is left behind is either the empty chrysalis and the Titan has metamorphosed into the next stage of its life cycle which we wouldn’t necessarily recognise if we saw it.
Or what is left is the exoskeleton which it has shucked so it can grow and while we were diverted by the light show it has moved onto the surface of the nearby full atmosphere world where it can grow and colonise in safety.

just a big matryoshka...
I have gone into the debris field after a Titan blows up or leaves. Some parts of the Titan were there, so maybe a portion of it survived and jumped out for greener pastures. In which case we are literally screwed
Have you seen Arf's X/Twitter posts? He is doing the Palp thing, the man is evil and has plans

Very interesting. Something is up and whatever it is it will be fun. Lots of pew-pew!
Maybe, maybe not.
But having visited the corpses of the murdered Titans, you can even find their thermal core (hearts) floating around in the debris. They can't have gone very far without that right?
Unless they have a huge amount of those hearts. The basic Cyclops intercetor has one such heart. A Titan could have hundreds or thousands of them.
Trancending to a pure energy form is one of the Sci-Fi classics...
Sounds half-reasonable to me.
Seo's cast is curious - were the Titans just Thargoid equivalents of Scouts, and now the Destroyers are on their way, surrounded by Cruisers and Carriers?

You may have pressed Ctrl + B somehow.
Doesn't sound good for the rest of the abductees..
Thargoids will use this “link” to negotiate an uneasy truce before the last Titan (Cocijo) is destroyed. This will “end” the war.
Following this, Titan Cocijo will act as the “stronghold carrier” for a new Thargoid Power Play 2.0 faction. As part of the truce conditions, all nanite torpedo weaponry will be destroyed / confiscated and further distribution of such weapons outlawed. Thus - as per other PP “stronghold” systems - Titan Cocijo itself will become safe from destruction and the permanent HQ for the Thargoid faction.
Just like other powers, they will compete for control over the surrounding star systems, attempting to expand their presence. CMDRs defending other factions territories will need to prevent such progress by participating in Spire sites and AX CZs in the systems that the Thargoids are attempting to expand into.
Thus the Thargoid activities (with the exception of Titan bombing) will continue to be available “forever” as the continuous PP expansion / contraction dance plays out.
MaybeCMDRs who are so inclined traitors will even be able to pledge to the Thargoid faction for unique rewards and influence progress by fighting alongside the Thargoids in CZs and delivering occupied escape pods back to the Titan …

I can already see Azimuth gleefully thinking of how they can fill this black market niche.
Oh and regarding OP, while it may not be entirely serious in nature, some of those ammonia worlds the Titans parked in orbit of have upwards of a (few) thousand atmospheres of pressure in at least a few cases. I'm not sure even Titans could handle those kinds of pressures... take the one in HIP 20567 as an example. Its surface pressure is 8,300 atmospheres... which is a lot, to say the least.

It’s not dead, it’s resting. It’s pining for the fjords.
The final explosion is Norwegian blue.

That's a very twisted plot twist!
Well, the debris field lends credence to them not moving. I mean, my car doesn't leave parts of itself behind that could be pieced together to form a new car when I move it out of the garage.
They might just be shedding their shell like a lobster, just in a more dramatic fashion
Being serious - no. I don't care what it is, unless it's made of Indestructanium, or some other magical material, nothing is surviving a fusion reactor turning into a giant bomb (nuke) big enough to create a blast very clearly visible from hundreds of kilometers away. And most of the center of the Titan is completely vaporized when that detonation occurs, with most other pieces reduced to shreds small enough to barely be worth salvaging, and a few other large chunks of the internal mechanisms that survived.
The only reason there is any big and/or recognizable pieces left in the first place... is that physics happened, and the hull most likely suffers a breach which the majority of the explosion's force is directed through prior to final detonation (as evidenced by how the debris is scattered in a particular way and thins out along one direction, with the most intact hull pieces in the exact opposite one). At this point there's probably enough wreck left for the Thargoids to piece them together into one or two new Titans... well, they might still have to fully build new central parts for them, but the outside bits are there on the arms.
