Don't worry many of us have video. Mine is taking a LONG time to upload.
Taranis Dead - Aftermath - Wreckage?

You can’t get in there yet. Frontier likely put failsafes in so people don’t go in too early(as players like to do). Either because the asset at the center of that caustic hellscape is not ‘active’ yet, or well, they just want nobody there.
7? that's a bit overkill
I guess whatever works.
For some reason I couldn't fit more than one.
I was down to one part-filled sink by the time I approached the Titan.
7 is not overkill for how intense the caustic zone around the wreckage currently is. Simply put, one fills up in a second within that cloud even at its very edge. It takes even less than that at the ‘inner’ caustic zone of that debris field. Basically instant, in any case.

Quite the fireworks display, as it should be...!

One of the gang i play with got to 56km before being belched back out to over 100km - a caustic sink was lasting on average 5 seconds - brilliant!I'm glad I wasn't the only one that immediately tried to get back in
Spectacular.
I went as close as 125 kilometers while seeing people report the ridiculously extreme caustic. After maybe what, three seconds at that very edge of the caustic perimeter and going through an entire caustic sink in that time, I was like… “Yeah, uh, nah. I’m not going in there any further”. This was right after the explosion or thereabouts, without changing instance. Did take a moment to let the whole thing cool down a little bit before daring to move closer - I have some preservation instinct stopping me from moving to what was a miniature star just seconds prior.
If that cloud does not start dissipating within those few weeks which we were told, we can start being concerned. I already suspect there may be something not quite dead at the center, even if it won’t be launching any Thargoid attacks anytime soon.
We tried to multicrew but got:
So he streamed the jaunt to discord. Almost like being there...
Yup, I'm gonna need a Python Mk II to shrug off that amount of caustic
Peh. I don't think anything we humans have built can survive that kind of caustic intensity. Now where did I stow away that Glaive the Thargoids 'lent' to me?
(It does not actually exist and I never said that.)
Joking aside, I'd find it a bit meh if that ship was actually required to go into that environment. As opposed to being better made for it.
Yeah... I highly doubt the Python 2 is what's needed to go in there. Rather, what we find in the wreckage once the caustic environment subsides will lead to the need for a Python 2.
Imagine Thargoids building uber tough smaller-scale ships of what remains of the Titan’s hull. Considering that it was nearly imprevious to anything that we could throw at it(Guardian weaponry not withstanding, but given how it already meets certain limits with a Hydra, I can’t imagine our current level of reverse-engineering would do vs a Titan).
I dunno... for me it's a matter of scale. Thargoids have regenerative properties... assuming all... cells?... are able to contribute to regeneration regardless of the damage (and ostensibly, connectivity to the neighbouring star systems... somehow... contributes to those regenerative properties (which is somewhat synonymous to resistance in this context).
So, a big ol Titan like that is gonna have huge regenerative capabilities compared to an interceptor. In that regard, I don't think it scales to then make a small ship out of the same materials necessarily.
Just went to Titan Indra on way to Leigong, well, I'll give that a miss until people attack it in numbers.
Got to it OK but inter/hyperdicted on way to system and Titan.
When at the Titan, I was the only one there, cool running 17% but hit 1 vent and moved round to hit core so that this Titan is 'tagged' for me.
As I got there, it started closing, so still haven't tagged it. I need to improve boost and get round to it quicker I assume.
Assuming it will be easier with more people attacking it and hitting more vents to get more time on the core/heart.
Right, lets see Leigong in Open........

I wonder if the Devs are aware of the works of E Nesbit, JK Rowling or Greek mythology, if they are and have been borrowing we could be in for a surprise.
Greek mythology, almost certainly. There’s a couple references to it scattered around with systems(Apollo, Poseidon, Demeter, Artemis, Hephaestus… there are likely to be others) and some people say calling these Thargoid motherships ‘Titans’, as their technical designation for us humans, could have a Greek mythology root as well.
I can’t say for the other two though. E Nesbit I’m not at all familiar with(except maybe that comedy skit[?] with “How to not be seen”?) and Rowling… I have barely read any of the Harry Potter stuff if any, and that’s also as far as my knowledge of the author goes. If my brain is not totally mixing things up…
I’d rather not find a weird zombie Titan that is part Thargoid and part I don’t know, Guardian nanites now.
