✌Anyway, about all those missions I stacked the other day...
Oops!
No, I picked them up from several factions.The Massacre Missions? Did you discover the same way I did that they count kills sequentially, not concurrently?
I'd assumed, when I (re-) learned this the other day, that you'd had no problem by virtue of parking a Corvette in the midst o' the enemy and letting the guns go to work...
✌
No, I picked them up from several factions.
Forgot about the timer. Some minor factions are very angry with me.
Dunno much about killing thargoids. I'm one of those who never have had a problem with a thargoid. Kind of like how the magpies where I live have found out that I'm not hostile to them. I kid you not. One day one of them got scared of me, and I'm pretty sure one of the other magpie "told" the scared one to chill, "no worries mate, he's cool". The thargoids seems to have decided that them and I do our separate business, and that works fine, even though I kind of miss getting interdicted by them. They're quite a sight to behold.Yeah, I have a Vulture stashed away somewhere (pardon my linking my own nonsense!), but haven't flown it in a couple of years - I'll wheel it out again sometime, as you say, fun to fly. I've been wanting to try the Chieftain since it first 'launched' (just before I stopped playing last...), and the Void Opals made that a 'lets do that right now' kinda thing, since it was available in my neighbourhood.
Yeah, my 'stick hand' starts to get pretty crampy after an un-broken hour or so of combat. And sometimes you just wanna 'relax in spaaaaaaaace'
It sure is, still my 'go to' ship whenever I want to try something new.
Doooooo eeeeeet!
Sure, there are ships out there that can do each and every thing in the game better than the Cobra MK III, but it can do everything well enough to be worthwhile. It's essentially my main accounts main ship!
Speaking of my main account...
Since I was still down Witch Head Nebula way, ostensibly to unlock the 'new' engineer (Chloe Sedesi) down that way, I thought I'd check in on the Thargoid Armada over in Witch Head Sector GW-W c1-2 for myeslf...
There's a lot more of 'em (91 signals!) than can fit into one screenshot:
Oh lawd, they comin'!
And, since I need 25 units of Sensor Fragments, I reluctantly (see more of my nonsense for a little bit of context on that) sought out a couple of the lowest (Threat lvl 3) NHSS's and went to see if I could tackle some Thargoid Scout ships...
... no. No I can't. Lvl 3 NHSS has two Thargoid scouts, and I couldn't see that my weapons where having any noticeable effect on them. I was able to hang around in my (un-engineered) ASP X for a good 10 mins trying, but eventually had to bug out at 54% hull for no discernable gain.
I'm led by my internets research to understand that standard weapons are enough to destroy them without too much trouble, but I couldn't see it. Either one of them (or even both!) could've been one hit from popping, but I saw no indications of such, and legged it.
So now I'm heading back bubblewards, Chloe still not unlocked, via the Pleiades region, see if I can't scare up the necessary fragments by other means.
And if not, to outfit a better combat ship... (maybe its time for my main to get a Chieftain, too...)
- but I want there to be so much more nuance to that situation.I'm pretty shure there's a rather spectacular crash site, where you can pick up those fragments. Can't remember what it's called, but maybe someone else does?Oh, me either (if you have time* for a whole bunch** of fan-fic rp nonsense, hit up the link in my sig for my thoughts about Thargoids...) - when the Thargoids where introduced, it was kind of inevitable that there would be hostilities (thats a lot of work for... what?... if not, and if it was really in the hands of players, to be determined by our actions then yeah, inevitable hostilities
But if I want to uinlock Sedesi (and re-unlock Palin, according to my info panel) then I need to obtain me those Sensor Fragments, and one way or another that means bashing up Thargoids and/or their relics... however reluctantly...
I have a pair of frags on the Asp X I used to try taking on those Thargoid Scouts, first time I've ever used 'em, no idea how effective they where. Will persevere with 'em in more 'controlled' environments, get a better feel for 'em.
*srsly, its 'only' two pages, but them's looooong pages.
**did I mention two really looooong pages?
** I recently went to defend my MSc, and was I told that I had to present years of work in 10 minutes. I told them they could forget about that, and then I spoke for 1.5 hours
Which system is this in?
Aha! HIP 17403, I've got that bookmarked.Alien crash sites in the Pleiades Sector are reported at AB-W B2-4, HIP 17862 and HIP 17403.
Seems legit
It went just fine thanks
✌There is a Xeno scanner you need to fit on a utility slot to get information about a Thargoid target, IIRC it shows up as an experimental and is probably only available from a planet side outfitting.Yeah, I have a Vulture stashed away somewhere (pardon my linking my own nonsense!), but haven't flown it in a couple of years - I'll wheel it out again sometime, as you say, fun to fly.
