Seems Thargoids are too easy to destroy.

I'd like everyone that has posted that the Thargoids are too easy, to post a link to a video of them killing a Thargoid.

No takers? right...

I can consistently take down 2.5 hearts before running out of ammo in my battle python. Two of me would nail it. SDC had three in their wing, and the people soloing it are in big engineered cutters and the like. This is a pretty reasonable difficulty at the moment.

Will do when i get home, i'll give it a bash in my Annie, fairly confident from what i've seen..Wish me luck .

Well, my exploration ship is also weak when it comes to combat... Why should those Thargoid scouts be any different. Let's wait for warships.

Honestly though, the missiles aren't that great. Especially for solo. As the plot develops and more weapons and defences are developed, it's likely destroying interceptors will become "the norm"... and then we'll start seeing things like wings of interceptors and, as mentioned, capital class thargoids.

Hopefully that won't happen too quickly. I'm enjoying the challenge (for me) at the moment.

Me too. I find the difficulty just right.

Not only do I need to learn fixed missile aiming, which I never used before(except on skimmers. Lol), I'm also learning the meta to kill them.
I'd rather not (despite previous thread) get better weapons yet.
Especially as I won't be playing ED for a week... It'd be sad if I came back to find AX Railguns/PAs/Guided Missiles/Torps, etc, and the Thargoids are getting curb stomped in every encounter.

Good luck - let us know how you get on - I suspect I already know the answer though

What if we're just being given an initial sense of false hope?

These Interceptor ships we're fighting are listed as scouts in the statistics panel....

I am not so much talking about how strong the AX stuff is than about the way it was introduced.
Thargoids appear - do the (fetching) thing - receive the antidote.
Not only does it smell a bit like immediate gratification, the whole matter has been a bit anti-climatic so far.

It is not like the Thargoids have done anything of note yet. Nothing has changed. (except the content of some USSs and maybe there will be CZs later on) So, even if virtually invincible capital ships appeared tomorrow it would make little difference. So far the alien story is told the same way and with the same tools as everything else.
Maybe I was just expecting too much game-changing drama from the story arc because it was so long in the making. Admittedly, that would be my own fault.

Too late I realized that my post may read like a small rant. Sorry, that wasn´t really the intention. Just my 2c.
