Thargoid pulled me out of my Hi-Wake Escape !

I upset a Thargoid really badly ! :eek:

I stole a Thargoid probe from under its nose with a limpet. That made it see red !
I tried boosting and running but couldn't get away, and the probe started to degrade my ship, so I ejected it, thinking the Thargoid would stop to pick it up.

It didn't. So I hi-waked out to avoid mass lock ...... and it followed me and pulled me out of hi-wake !

Totally disabled the ship for about 30 seconds to a minute, so dead I thought the computer had crashed .... until everything came online, and there was the Thargoid sitting there in the distance, far enough for me to low-wake jump away.

There's a lot of good content available from these 'goids ! [up]

Anybody else successfully stolen stuff from under their noses? I'm thinking the escape pods would give me a better chance, as I'm not equipped with corrosion resistant cargo modules.

How fast can your ship boost?
I heard they travel at about 460 m/s?

Going to pay them a visit in my Imp Eagle (!)+ xeno scanner, counting on its speed to get me out! ;) (496/662).

Glad you made it out anyway! ;)

I'm in a Python, boosts to about 415 m/s, so guess that's not fast enough. I think lo-wake offers the best chance of escape if you can get away from their mass lock.

I had no issues scooping Thargoid Sensors from under their noses, even as they tried to pick them up, in a 500m/s Clipper. Speed and maneuverability are definitely key.

I've found that maintaining around 330-335m/s in a straight line is enough to keep a steady distance from an Interceptor.
Anything above that should pull away from it.

What I like about this Thargoid game design is that you can have fun and thrills without having to feel obliged to engage in pew pew. You can play the sneaky thief of their loot and use your skill and experience to get away. It may get old later but at the moment it is all fresh and exciting.

And the pew-pewers can have their fun too.

I've successfully stolen Escape Pods before the could get them. Good fun, and while I've made one or two annoyed doing this, never got shot.

I haven't encountered one yet so the chance to steal anything hasn't arisen. Is it possible to fight one solo?
