Sounds good, carry on...
Thargoid FPS (with Drones) in Update 15 - Preview Footage
- Thread starter Obsidian Ant
- Start date
And yet here we are - discussing what is in the patch days before it comes out. They might as well have just told us
Ohh yes "very different"
(interiors of ships and atmospheric planets)
Yes, yes, of course... very different

I don't mean to be rude, but how long have you been observing Frontier?Why does Frontier always do this cloak and dagger type of updates? Why can't they be normal developers?
Inform players in advance that they are working on on-foot Thargoid combat, release few art pictures inbetween, some info behind what they wish to achieve with this?
N O R M A L way of doing things ...

I'm sure they had their reasons but it's not a tell-all, more a teaser...

In the video, it seems that you are rewarded with 4.5M credits for killing a Hunter.
It means that there will probably be another nerf on the Thargoid rewards.
Indeed, I can't believe that the Cyclops reward will still be 6.5M credits.
The Cyclops reward should be below the Hunter reward.

Yay 8 replies are two of them are already saying how bad the on foot combat is
They should never have made an FPS element; a good FPS is very hard to make.
If they hadn't, all the xenophobes would have been angry so the groundwork always needed done.
It was requested a lot, after all, and still is....

I would've loved to see how Frontier could've delivered a game where you left your ship and got on foot (as indicated to be delivered by the Kickstarter from the very beginning of the project) without any combat. I mean, we've all seen Frontier's ability to deliver innovative gameplay. I just can't even begin to imagine what we'd have received with if combat was off the table. What an alternate universe that'd be.
So... probably not just a Thargoid surface site interior but in space then? I mean that was my first guess but this sounds bigger than that.

This gives me an idea....

Or less ships...
Or less ships...
Hard to do?
What nonsense you speak, the recipe for a good FPS has been made decades ago. The mistake is made by some companies that do not know how to do them well.
One of the things I like about E.D is that he has a FPS, it's not perfect, it's not very good. But it has, and it has everything to make it better just by modifying a few things that are already there.
Weve had Thargoid drones for many years heck since ground sites were a thing, now they get dropped into ground combat. We wanted real Thargoids not the placeholder Thargoids, these are even in legacy thats how old they are.
Surely they could have designed and animated a real Thargoid it would have made it seem like fdev care now basically the old placeholder is now gonna be rehashed to allow us to fight until they do design one.
Am i the only one rather confused that a organic alien race that despises technological prowess to the point where the guardians and themselves went to war suddenly decides after billions of eons to use technology in the fight with humans. If they are that old they must be incredible biochemists surely they could create a galactic plague to wipe us out entirely in a afternoon. Heck we have had Covid and many man adjusted diseases in the last few hundred years already and they have billions of years on us.
