I love Elite Dangerous but after 2 years I feel I've experienced pretty much everything in the game like it or not everything bar exploring features shooting at pirates or NPC's at some point. I am still playing a couple of times a week with friends and enjoy it, but would really like some different new things to do! If we have to pew pew the Thargoids lets at least make it different from the standard take a mission, find a target, kill a target and return to base.
I am hoping when the Thargoids arrive this opens up new things to do and many more mission types. After all in First Encounters we had scouting missions. It would be very disappointing if the Thargoids just end up being the same as other NPC's... random spawns with just a lot of pew pew.... I'm sure Frontier won't let me down.
This is a chance for Frontier to finally nail the multiplayer side of things that a lot of people complain about. You read a lot of Elite reviews and many state about the game being empty of not really multiplayer.
It would be nice to have some actual Wings and multiplayer PvE content with the Thargoids. I'm not a massive fan of other MMO games and how they work, but I feel the group raid/group instance style play could be used in Elite if on a smaller scale anyway.
Missions can currently be done with friends but you don't really need to group up its a case of taking the same mission on the Mission Board however the experience does get a bit samey quickly.
There's lots of possibilities here!
1. Wing of 4 assault a Thargoid mothership.
2. Wing of 4 defend a base or planet structure against waves of enemies
3. Wing of 4 attack a Thargoid base and steal objectives
4. Wing of 4 defend a ship or VIP from Thargoids
You get the idea!
