New Thargoid Encounter?

[Phoenix_Dfire]

Hi Folks,

I've just had the weirdest thing. I dropped into a threat level 4 NHSS but instead of the usual 4 maruaders scouts, I found a Marauder, Inciter and Berserker. The seemed to be flying around / defending a Thargoid probe. For the next ten minutes, scouts were jumping in waves and there were different types of scout but no inteceptors. I've been attacking Threat 4 scout sites since january (trying to get the combat rank up) but never come across this scenario before. Has anyone else had this or something similar?

Cheers

Been waiting for something like this, new Tharg ship or something...so hope it turns out to be right

It's rare to get waves in 4s & 5s, but not unknown.

I've had some mixed NHSS 4s and 3s, with the oddest one being an empty instance with just a "warp anomaly detected" warning and nothing else.

Just had the same, this one had a sensor and 2 scouts (inciter and berserker). I killed them, popped the sensor, and scooped up the bits, then another scout jumped in, followed by another. Popped them, and 3 more dropped in. This went on and one, with more and more taking turns dropping into the instance. Started with 310k in bonds, ended with 780k. So that means 48 scouts had entered the instance over about a 40 minute period (had to synthesis more AX MC ammo multiple times!)

This sounds like a nice combat rank farming opportunity.

Have you ever had that before?

No, this was the first one like that. The 1 sensor/2 scouts followed by waves hasn't really been mentioned before from what I've found.

I had a similar encounter over the weekend. Usually 4 scouts would spawn but twice i had about 7 or 8 spawn, marauders, beserkers and a couple of others who appeared to heal themselves?

 

[ZAKALWEINC8876]

Yes, sometimes a NHSS4 throws in more than 4 scouts.

Imo, they should be taken out like..
Regenerators. Can heal them an others.
Inciters. Can boost them and others.
Bezerkers. Bloody annoying.
Marauders. Not so much.

Hope this helps
