Miner WillyThought I might as well take some missions to deliver injured people to rescue ships while getting the hell out of dodge.....

Interdicted mid frame shift just by the thargs. (as per post above I have no anti-Xeno on this ship).
Rather than getting completed obliterated, the damn things fired their version of hatch limpets (foreign object det4ecd) and proceeded to steal the human cargo.

Is this new behaviour or just something I haven't heard of before?



The thargys have been jacking passengers for a while. I've not encountered it, but only because the rescue ship I use is optimized for speed. Overcharged, drag drive engines, enhanced charge power distributor, and four pips to the engines allows for near constant boosting above 500, which keeps me ahead of the goids long enough to jump way.


Thanks, once I got out I transferred my AX KMII for the return trip, a should have done it before leaving Sol.

You got any actual lore context for the reasonsing behind this belief

I want the sauce, I need the sauce



The sauce.

If we put aside roleplay fun, I think the Titan - should it head into Sol directly - will actually park in Earth orbit. I doubt it is to open a diplomacy channel or to establish an embassy, however.

And I still insist we consider the fact that the Thargoids did not outright invade Sol but instead are happy to just poke around and do a bit of sightseeing while the Titan is on its way, as if they're observing, or looking for something. (Could be the gold disk on Voyager, as a few people have theorized, but I'm not entirely sure of that)

And on the subject of Scythes (the Thargoid people stealers) an ECM can take out their hatchbreaker as well as the FSD reboot missiles. But, of course, speed is actually a better defense against them. I don't think the alert state of Sol has any actual meaning except to allow evacuation operations to be conducted, because it might actually only be attacked once the Titan itself arrives. And that is when the real fun madness starts.

(I don't believe that anyone in-universe in Elite is quite prepared for what the Titan is going to be throwing out)
