OMG - Thargoid Cinematic was ACE!

[Stachel]

it is good to see Frontier learned from this.

Where have we seen that Frontier has learned from this?

The fact their latest ED cinematic is on youtube rather than in the game doesn't seem to show any useful learning.

How can you say it happened too frequently? It never happened to me and I spent 26 hours looking for Thargoids, doing all the same things as everyone else who has seen them. But you know - RNG ruins everything. Many other players experienced the same no-thing. If it weren't on YouTube most people would never see it. I intentionally avoided "spoilers" for weeks, because I wanted my first impression to be *my own*. In the end, it might as well have never been in the game and could have gone straight to video. Would have saved a lot of people a lot of frustration and wasted time. Or they could have made the encounters into something you could reliably experience instead of garbage RNG. Anyway the event doesn't have to be common for it to be all over YouTube.

My experience exactly. Traversed all of the Plediades in a circuit for hours in all three modes, didn't see anything. In the end, I ended up only going to fixed sites like the barnacles, guardian ruins and the thargoid bases/crashsites/whatever so I wouldn't have to put up with the vagaries of the RNG. As far as my character is concerned, seeing live thargoids is a direct result of too much Lavian brandy There's probably some descendant of David Icke wigging out on galnet about the liz..., er, insect people who are running the show behind the scenes.

You get less for murder

Reminds me of that old joke about the woman who has celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with her husband. When she wakes up in the dead of the night, she finds him gone. She goes downstairs, and there he is, in the kitchen, with a glass full of whisky, and a morose expression on his face. "Honey, what's wrong?" she asks him. "You remember that night, twenty years ago, when your dad came home earlier than expected and found us on the sofa, with you being sixteen years old?" -- "Yes...?" -- "You remember how he threatened me with a shotgun and said that either I'd marry you on the spot he'd see me jailed for twenty years." -- "So...?"

Sobs the man, "SO, today I'd be FREE!!"
