Thargoid hunting
25 Oct 2020Buster Bob
Woke up with a bleary head, the reality of being back in the bubble led to last night’s higher than normal Onion Head intake. I did have a plan, our home system still has a Thargoids presence, my AXI ship was readied and Thargoids scouts were the target. I desperately needed Combat bonds to pay the bills. I felt comfortable being back in the Phantom again, 4 AXI multicannons, maxed out hull armour and a decontamination unit. Launch, gear up, boost and wait for FSD clearance. It didn’t take long to find a Non Human Lvl 4 USS. It also didn’t take long to drop in and take out 5 Thargoids scouts. Rinse and repeat, a little caustic damage but no big deal. Running low on limpets I headed back, just couldn’t resist dropping into a Lvl 5 USS to face up to a cyclops. Without gauss cannons there was no way I was going to engage, but I do feel there could have been another way. Our bubble is a mess, we are led by greed and corruption, our leaders lie, then lie about lying. Could the Thargoids have provided us with an alternative, given the opportunity?
With this thought I landed back at the station. Perhaps being away from the bubble for so long wasn’t such a bad thing. Sleep well Commanders.
