New Thargoid variant
- Thread starter Factabulous
- Start date
That? Not a lot going on in there unless you are a new player. Unless something was announced at the announcement get together they had over the weekend.People who haven't been paying attention get a nice surprise
The Thargoid Interceptor being discussed in this thread wasn't pre-announced as part of the April release either, and didn't even get a mention in the changelog. (Neither did a couple of subtle features used in the Interstellar Initiatives)
It's an opportunity for them to quietly add more content and assets. Whether those appear immediately on September 18th or only actually get used two weeks before the December patch is done, of course, we won't know until it happens.
Have people seen @TadoChip's solo kill video? With it kinda glitching at the end he gets to have a nice leisurely close-up view of the new variant (or at least, what's left of it!).
(Hope you don't mind me sharing ... it's awesome!)
This guy is an absolute legend right now.
Lol, Thargoid clogged XD

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but this is clearly just the Cyclops MK 4, only available to Thargoids that preordered their ammoniak-world until end of June 3305. In contrast to other MK 4's it has a higher speed but they forgot the weapons, and it does not come with a thargon swarm built in right off the Thargoid Installation. Thargoids use it mostly to collect human tissue from the old Pailin Installation. Due to popular demand they had to change the name, since some 'goids didn't like numbers in their ship names.
I know, I know, exclusivity is bad, but you all* had the chance to buy into the preorder, and decided not to. Without those pre-financing the invasion with meta-alloys the fleet would still be stuck on the witchspace shadow of the black hole in Maia.
*only applies for thargoids.

Yes, I remember it too. Wild speculation followed, followed by ............ zilch.Yeah, I remember that
Off-topic...
Not directed at this comment, but frankly, if there was an alternate way, there was never any evidence it existed in the game. Of course, FD could be trying to pull some spec-ops style "Putting down the controller is an ending" (warning: spoilers for Spec Ops: The Line in that link)... especially in the context of the whole Salome/"The Club" thing, where "everything you do supports The Club".
In that regard, maybe the "peaceful" route was to not support AEGIS during it's CG's to make weapons. But if that were also the case, I'd call FD utterly naive for thinking that players would choose not to play the game presented to them by the developer. But I give FD more credit than that.
Personally, I highly doubt there was ever a "peaceful" option

I look forward to the sequel video when Mrs Orthrus is allowed to fight back
I look forward to the goids grand reopening of Palin's base. I want to buy one of those Orthruses my self.I look forward to the sequel video when Mrs Orthrus is allowed to fight back
We could have let Palin die, Chloe was supposed to take his place, now she's just a duplicate. And we can now pin multiple blueprints of their style.
Its gone now guys. I was there last night and it spawned every time i jumped in but tonight it didnt appear even once and i tried at least 5 or 6 times.
this is a video i took last night showing a group of scouts pursuing the Orthrus. They flew right by and completely ignored me.
That Thargoid ship looks like it's infected with something. I first thought the canopy was human made, but up close it looks Thargoid. Just a stronger canopy.

Seems to have gone for me too! It was appearing every time I jumped into an instance, but now it's disappeared.
