The Thargoid discussion thread now with extra Thargoids !!!

[who?]

I'd definitely file a report here, seems appropriate.

 

[Hootmon]

Peace? No Peace...

 

[EdzUp]

But remember people ya have too scan first, if you shoot first security will turn up and shoot you alongside the Thargoid warship

Upon hearing the command, "Take me to your leader" I would promptly take them to the Fed President, and hopefully watch it gobble him/her up, then the shadow prez (real) ruler of the Federation. And then say hey there is another leader I think his name is Patreus wanna eat him too er meet him too? And then when the beast is full of crap I would shoot em dead.

 

[OrLoK]

Yeah I'd do the same. Scream and run. I remember the 8-bit days, Thargoids really did strike fear in players. Thargoids weren't pushovers, but with a little bit of practice there were ways to get behind them and they couldn't shoot at you, that's if you could tell which side of the Thargoid ship was the front.

I prefer them to look like eight armed octopuses. The type that have an arm for every ship function imaginable putting us humans at a dis-advantage over pip management, SCBs, weapons selection, boosting, firing, turning etc.

Ah 2000ad....GREAT read for a very large portion of my formative years and I recently bought a shed load of Judge Dredd collection books..... I think my folks still have a few hundred issues in the attic!

Zarjaz!

Reach over and give the loo roll a comforting pat.

 

[Obtuse]

I wonder if Fd can make it so when you try to screen shot a thargoid ship, it wont show up. No one would believe till half the forums has encountered them personally.

 

[AJ_Impy]

As a mercenary first and foremost, politely enquire if there's any interesting missions they'd like to offer for suitable remuneration.

 

[vizvayu]

Scan them for bounties before killing them. All of them, just in case.

 

[Surly_Badger]

I, for one, would welcome our new thargoid overlords.

 

[EAGLE 5]

After hearing that stupid UA for hours on end I'd probably be feeling like Elaine did with the Fax Machine.

Steps of making contact:
0: Start screen recording
1: Change pants and underpants
2: If they have not yet opened fire, attempt to communicate
3: If they are hostile:
3.1: I am in my anaconda. Turn on some Two Steps From Hell and open fire. To Glory!
3.2: I am in an ASP or whatever other ship: turn tail and run
4: Post here the glorious first encounter

My Fraps is always on standby so they'd end up on YT.

can't rep you more!

I hope the Thargoids story line in the game is nig! FD musn't just drop them in the game (and I'm certain they won't).

Thargoids - A Potential New Game

I've joked about this in the past, but the more I think of it the more I'm warming to the idea of having player controlled Thargoids.

This would be a game set in the same universe, but instead of running a CMDR, you'd have a Thargoid position interacting (pew-pew) with human players. Would need a new set of ships and cockpit designs but otherwise this would be the Elite: Dangerous game from the other side. They would have their own area in the stars, economy and stations. From previous talk of permit systems this has already been taken care of.

Dare I say, I'd back this as a KS project. You?

 

[Duckfather]

Explode?

 

[digitalscream]

I'd tell them there's cool stuff to be had at Hutton Orbital, then run like hell.

 

[DextersIndignation]

copyright them?
Then charge FD to use them... lol

 

[Obtuse]

Ha! They'd probably hunt you down to the end of the universe after you subjugate them to that horrible sc timer

I'd tell them there's cool stuff to be had at Hutton Orbital, then run like hell.

 

[Allitnil]

I ran away.
