Elite Dangerous: Thargoid Interdiction and Battle

[@abdulmismail]

In the 1980s Elite, I used to purposefully jump from star system to star system because there was something like 1 in 20 chance you'd get intercepted by the Thargons. I'd focus all effort on the Thargon mothership because once that's destroyed, the Thargoid fighters would be disabled and you could collect them via your fuel scoop and sell the "alien artefacts" for a small fortune. It was the best way to make money in the original version.

[@Blanket420]

I never knew there was an original version of the game. I'm glad the game was able to bring to life to the classic.

Thargoids turn hostile when you fly really close to their ship for too long. He did that to be able to scan it

[@piotrnapora5810]

@@CdrSonan Don't they get pissed off when you scan them?

[@LutzHerting]

First, he got way too close, then ignored the Thargoids warning to back off, and finally even deployed his weapons. He basically did everything he could possibly do to make the Thargoid mad. (So yeah - he was definitely the attacker here.) If you do neither of those things, they just have a look at you with their "scanning tentacles" and move on. They may bump your ship once while turning, but only lightly and without doing any damage.

Some sort of energy tendrils, they do this to you when they first interdict you and steal the cargo you’ve taken from their worlds/equipment. In battle it seems to disrupt your systems like an EMP.
