Thargoids in Xinca
29 Jun 2018Thunktone
I was one of the first into Jameson Memorial to buy the new Challenger. Absolutely surrounded by Kraits, but I have been thinking for a while about joining the war with the thargoids. And that new Krait is one ugly chunk of alloys.I sought the thargoids out in Deciat yesterday and found plenty of signs of their activity but no ships. But today in Xinca I fought them alongside the Inperial Navy. I was the last human ship flying having cleared about 40% hull from one lousy scout. One of these new regenerating ones. Oh, yes, the rumours are true. I reckon I might have helped the fight if I'd finished it quicker.
But my Anti-Xeno guns are fixed and I'm just not that good a pilot. I might do a little better after adjusting my loadout and/or fire groups. Spent way too much time either firing the fancy ammo into space or not firing my gimballed multi-cannon at all.
I fled with about 20% hull left and landed at Stross Hub with 0%. Thought my canopy was going to shatter as I fled. The economy is booming here in spite of it all.
