So, um.... is this real? http://xboxclips.com/DP%20Sayre/ba5a8340-5ee6-42e9-8a34-a763076e80d9/embed If not, someone's making a lot of effort to fake it. An actual, flying alien ship, that apparently knocks out your power for a while. E: More poo poo about it on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/5m9dtq/thargoids/ Wolfechu fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Jan 5, 2017 |

Wolfechu posted:So, um.... is this real? I'd say it's real, since it actually matches the organic looking alien crap we've been finding very well. I think it even looks like the non-crashed version of the crashed alien ships. If that's a fake, it's the best made fake ever and that guy should be employed by Frontier immediately.

Calling it right now, the ship is invincible and the only interaction with aliens is a hauling CG

I feel like everything in the bubble's about to get deleted in an 'alien invasion' with no insurance payouts. That's why they're letting everyone exploit!

I was feeling like I should really gear up and get a Corvette or Anaconda ready for this, but then uh, you know if the bubble is going to go to poo poo then it'll be nice to be able to land anywhere in a Python. I sure hope we get Python ship kits before everything catches fire

It's all in this book that says "To Serve Man" on the cover... weird, the title is in English but the inside is gibberish... well, whatever, they're paying me millions to haul them!

I've been too cool for school about the slow build up to aliens but the second it flashed up that warning about the hyperspace tunnel being hosed I was like Joaquin Phoenix in Signs. I didn't realise it but I've missed those miserable octagonal dickheads.  Edit: it's happened to a pc player too apparently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzEtlaAUM2k Double edit: calling it now, there's a cg to collect "unknown ship signature" and the reward is we're no longer disabled when they pull us out of hyperspace

Has anyone started filing bugs on the planet coaster forum yet about how some people are making theme parks that generate revenue and how it's ruining the game?

It's a tiny bit frustrating that right when I'm willing to put Elite aside as a deeply flawed game, they take a set piece like this and knock it out of the loving park. I am ready to meet my new alien overlords.

Well poo poo, now the question is, is the appearance of the alien ship localized to certain parts of the galaxy, or can you theoretically encounter one even on the other side of the galaxy? Would be neat if my Imperial Cutter gets a little surprise on my journey... Also gently caress, I'm hiking all Saturday, but I certainly know what I will do on Sunday.

I saw at least one post where someone talked about shipping off to the Pleiades but whether or not it's localised has yet to be confirmed.

I think that in this case in particular the npc showing up actually was part of the whole encounter. Because the moment the giant space whale decided to shoot his beam the npc stops shooting, probably blown up by it while you were spared. Some people are suggesting you have to have UAs in your inventory to trigger the event.

Is the 17Drac moneytrain still rolling? Having explained ED nerds and whiny grognards of the brown sea to her, and the general ridiculous expensiveness of everything in ED, my gf actually agreed that I'd be a fool not to rape this opportunity into the ground some more before it gets patched out.

Some people are suggesting you have to have UAs in your inventory to trigger the event. That's not part of the event, there's others where no ship pops up besides the alien. And you don't need UAs either. Shoot at it and see what happens.

It turns out that Skimmers are distant relatives to Thargoids. Also Thargoids have time distortion powers, and the instant they see you, they rollback all money and assets you acquired from killing Skimmers, out of vengeance.
