Elite: Dangerous Getting to Thargoid Titan from 20 000 Light Years away

Modern problems require broken solutions
Big thanks to ‪@raghav1026‬ for allowing me to experience this awesome stuff in Multicrew with him :)

[@fevvsaqopa]

When games are like movies, or have a better look than them 😮 it's extraordinary

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

Yea, and Elite is now 10 years old. It's insane how awesome it looks lol

[@shimo_96]

This'll be in some "when games turn into movie scenes" videos at some point lol

[@raghav1026]

This was so fun to do, and there’s 8 of these things 😅 The silhouette of the titan as the lightning flashes is just wow.

[@DarkDestinybyC]

The malestrom looks really omnious in that storm. Awesome footage cmdr

[@combineconformist]

the lights on the inside of that caldera-like structure remind me of the collectors from ME.

[@congruentcrib]

Hasn’t been much footage yet, but this is by far the best I’ve seen. Being said, there are a few experiments I want to try. One, get a probe, or a sensor, or something next to that door! Just wanna see if it opens. Two, I want to see that center glowing bit more. Whatever it is, I’ve seen thargoid vessels traverse through it when it glows. We gotta time it just right. Finally, I want to scan those asteroids. They seems so random to have there. Just might be something new with that.

[@raghav1026]

The big glowing bit is where the interceptors come from, the smaller glowy bits are where the glaives/scouts come from. Also if you go into those holes you get yeeted away. The main glowy hole yeets you away so hard you hit 30km/s in normal space. I tried bringing a thargoid heart and got yeeted less. So that’s something.

[@shimo_96]

The asteroids have been known to carry valuable materials. The most notable that I have heard is Tritium, which, unless I am mistaken, is the fuel for Fleet Carriers. Fleet Carrier FSD's where derived from Thargoid tech. This leads me to believe that the asteroids are there so the Titan can refuel somehow.

[@caiocavalero]

Capital Thargoid Ship! I love it!

[@LoScorpioneRosso1]

o7 Incredible footage ! Damn and I still find normal interceptors scary to fight. I don't know if the Titan made that mist inside an asteroid field to hide or if they just bring them along to use materials to build more interceptors inside

[@scarlettiberius]

That looks so cool and dangerous at the same time lol !

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

It is 😂

[@1980juseppe]

Great reportage with awesome footage 😮 what's happened at the end?

[@saffieification]

i think you will find he blew up 🤣

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

We blew up.

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

Pretty sure the same thing activated as at 3:25

[@cmdrrdz106]

There is a morse code in the audio of this video, at 7:07 when the ship tryes to enter the center. (not shure were the audio came from since its only audible in the external camera) not shure what it says ither.

[@shimo_96]

This may have been figured out already, but the Thargoid roar from the Proteus Wave incident? It sounded a lot like this sound here at 12:00. Wasn't the Proteus Wave fired from one of those Thargoid bases we have now found out to be crashed Titans? Would this mean that those crashed Titans may not be as destroyed and completely harmless as we thought and that Titan we deployed the Wave at was actually what caused everything that happened there? EDIT: I was thinking as well, a Thargoid device in your cargo hold only minimized the wave that repelled you when you went near the "main entrance" so there's something there. When the Stargoids first showed up, they were observed as seeming both Thargoid and Guardian in nature. What if the unclassified relic; a hybrid mixture of both Thargoid and Guardian tech, which is also fabricated in crashed Titans, is the key to entering the Titans?

[@raghav1026]

I tried 10 unclassified relics and still got yeeted at the full speed, so they don’t work

[@shimo_96]

@@raghav1026 Good to know

[@Lev069]

THAT THING IS HUGE, OH MY GOD

[@cmdrclassified]

Found you from Obsidian Ant. Subscribed! o7

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

Oh thanks 😄 If you would be interested in more positive view on the game (Ant and his community have been really sucking the life outta me since the Odyssey release lol), definitely check out even other smaller ED creators, imo they've been much more enthusiastic about the game that big most big ones like Ant for example 😁

[@cmdrclassified]

@@cmdrHeliaxx Oh, I watch a lot of ED creators. I haven't played for a few months now, but that is only due to IRL stuff, though I do try to keep up with the goings on in the game. Hell, if I didn't enjoy Elite, I wouldn't have over 7K hrs in game, and all in VR. I also love the community. Never before have I felt more welcome in any online gaming community as I have with Elite. I look forward to seeing more of your content. Have a great day, Commander! o7

[@supah_bruh4874]

imagine we get new fighter that can enter the hive ship and detonate it or smth, also imagine doing some mining there XD

[@Byehk2047]

Who else is also sooooo eager to see the inside of the titan or what it leads to frontier pls be sth interesting pls

[@wiser3754]

Wait a minute. Indra didn’t have that effect. Are these titan Thargoids all unique?

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

Oh, no idea about that, only visited this one 😅 Could be. Or it just didnt meet some criteria needed for it to activate?

[@wiser3754]

@@cmdrHeliaxx doubtful. Indra just sits there with Orthrus vessels entering it. The blue mushroom energy cloud wasn’t present. If all 8 Titans are unique it means you can’t use the same tactic on all of them. You need to mix it up.

[@Neo-vz8nh]

@@wiser3754 Maybe, or it is possible that it is an emergency attack. Every player i saw done silent sneak, maybe if you move in full combat it will do it?

[@lazarus6700]

@@wiser3754 I just had indra hit me with 3 cyclopses I think. Don't think it's just Orthrus.

Raidbosses incoming.

[@bonkusmaximus]

Wow, such a new video and doing pretty great. Don’t forget me when you blow up…

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

Yea these random things I just make in 20 minutes and put it out tend to get a lot of views compared to those I really put a lot of work into. That's why I actually really appreciate people like you who just love even some of the little less succesful stuff because that's usually what I worked the longest time on, was really glad for any appeciation of the Thargoid cinematic cuz that took sooo long to put together compared to stuff like this 😄 But well, guess that's just how it is and I suppose vids like this are needed to draw in potential new long time audience as well, altho I don't really see too much potential for growth at this point. So yea,

[@Sir-Complains-a-Lot]

Not very suprised it looks like something already in the game...cant remember what, but seems awfully familiar.

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

It's been confirmed that the Thargoid surface bases are in fact these crashed Titans

[@Sir-Complains-a-Lot]

@@cmdrHeliaxx I am so glad its a "reskin" or rather reused asset. i fear for the Fdves mental health with all that work they are putting into the game...

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

@@Sir-Complains-a-Lot well they still had to do a lot of work anyways no doubt. But yea let's hope it helped them at least a little bit 😄

[@shimo_96]

@@Sir-Complains-a-Lot To be fair, the Titans looking like crashed bases aren't really Fdev being lazy so much as Fdev answering the question of "What in the world are those bases"

[@possiblyzslot838]

It's so painful that this is so effective atmospherically, you just can't interact with it like, at all.

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

Lmao, you can

[@Neo-vz8nh]

3:25 what the hell is it?

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

I've no idea 😄

[@cmdrHeliaxx]

All I know is that when you're inside it when it happens, you die. It might just be some kinda protective behavior.

[@Neo-vz8nh]

@@cmdrHeliaxx I been there a few times, never saw it.

[@KleinMeme]

I gues the EMP charging just from inside the Maelstrom. The bows are the magnetic fields charging paths (Similar to Eearths magnetosphere) but more controled. Nice detail.

[@Neo-vz8nh]

@@KleinMeme yea nice detail. Yea i though about that it is the massive surge, but why trigger it?
