Striking Thargoid Supply Chain (Planet Side Thargoid Combat [some stutters])
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- During my vanguard effort in securing a meta alloy site for the repair of Canonn Research facilities that recently came under UA bombing, I encountered Thargoid Interceptors resupplying at said site.
The Barnacles are long speculated to be the Thargoid's point for supplies, it only makes sense to strategically intercept the Interceptors I encountered (pun intended).
A few things learned from the skirmish that might help both combat pilots and researchers:
A second Thargoid Interceptor will be summoned if the initial Thargoid Interceptor is under threat/attack. This speaks to the importance of the barnacle to the Thargoids, similar to how they summon an Interceptor for scooping cargo of interest with haste when they are present in large numbers. Also, judging from the angle the second Thargoid exited the wormhole, line of sight for their hyperspace travel is not an issue at all. They pretty much phased through the entire planet.
Thargon Swarm is not usable planet-side, this is most likely due to the individual Thargon's thruster being too weak to counter gravity. Lightning, shutdown field, and Caustic missiles are still operational.
Thargoid Interceptors themselves do suffer from gravity reducing their thrusts, at least from what I can tell (but are still agile from a pure turning perspective). But they prefer to perform combat above 3km from surface, and will try to keep itself a safe distance from the ground by performing "up floating" maneuvers whenever too close to the ground and not in immediate dog fighting.
Getting shut down while maneuvering or not paying attention to one's attitude is lethal.
Even at 0.3 g, the gravity threw off my aim and made me overestimate my thrusters (heated up my ship faster, which is not good for Gauss). I crashed to the ground once, and almost did again when I got shut down and was drifting into the ground.
Slight stutters in the video. I think planet side Thargoid combat is un-optimized, as in it's not intended to happen, at least not yet (Or my PC needs an upgrade, who knows).
I can't even... There's something beautiful about you being there alone on a planet's surface, and engaging two thargoids like it's nothing.
Mans got balls
Finally, big boys without annoying swarms. Well done.
I'm pretty sure we found our champion in the anti-xeno campaign
Combat rank: "Deadly". As if. You should be awarded an honorary Elite rank at once.
Combat Rank: GluttonyFang
Almost all players are accuttaly better than the combat rank elite gives them.
Surface fighting 2 Thargoids? I can't even, the increased heat, .3G gravity, and of course the ground. Well done very impressive.
Flying Ostrich
Joust love the pic
But no swarms and no need to distract them with fighters.
"71 new astronomical objects"
Huh, good job getting to and landing on that planet completely blind.
That EMP at 9:27 was epic! The tension as you were falling was so thick!
Edit: wasn't a proximity alarm but still
Noticed also the fall was from 16km to just a little over 2, damn. just seconds to go before and ugly shieldless crash.
"How'd you solve the icing problem?"
"Icing problem?"
"Might wanna get that looked at."
"Frameshift anomaly detected" - Another interceptor comes screaming out of hell
Oh to be a group of pilots scrambling to SRVs, then to their ships...
that was a masterpiece of piloting when outnumberd 2/1
You Sir, are a Madman and a Scholar.
Scholar? I don't think that word means what you think it does. The dude can't string a coherent sentence together for the life of him.
goddamn you sir produce some epic thargoid fights with epic music! i wouldve been freaking out by these 2 just popping up
I can't even fly Into the airlock with flight assist off 😣
Kinq Calb it takes practice :D
Awesome video. I didn’t even know reinforcements show up if you attack them in the process. Definitely subscribing. Lol O7 CMDR
Ps. Nice timing on the SRV boarding.
Man, i'm all proud of my first solo interceptor kill. I was jealous of your skill, but then I realized there aren't any thargons.
This is really well recorded and look cinematic as hell. Good fight and good video cmndr o7
впечатляет! Вы действительно профи!
Well color me impressed, I never knew you could fight them planet side
By far the deadliest sin is Gluttony. Well done, I am in awe.
Quick question: Do the thargoids care about any kind of resistance? I like to build an AX Chieftain.
PS: Congratulations to your 1000 subscribers Gluttony!
They do, but arc strike/lightning seems to be a fixed amount. Credits to Cmdr Painbeaver for testing and logging. cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/380247288876105739/438457143432183840/Data.jpg
“Elite Dangerous has no content.”
How many people experience battles like this? Frontier: "About 0.003941 percent." ;)
Oh it has "some" content. The problem is that it's locked behind half a hundred hours of grinding.
epic af, holy... thx for sharing
Great job CMDR!
What's the music in this video?
*is he nuts?* NO HES INSANE!
You're a legend.
I didn't think the heat could get so high...
you can get it much higher......
So that's why you were "claiming" the barnacle earlier
Very impressive Sir! Can you use fly assist off effectivly on the thrusters and stick or does the mouse and key board have the better precision for it? I can see the mouse arrow on the HUD.
The back ground music is epic by the way.
I personally like mouse and keyboard, I'm more proficient at it and find them more precise.
@@GluttonyFang Hey Gluttony, just wanted to comment on the mouse/keyboard vs stick. I didn't have a stick when I started, got used to the mouse, only problem I had was zeroing the mouse (very irritating) I love my combat stick though, just as good as my mouse but easy zeroing. PS. get a GOOD STICK, don't buy one of those $20 POC... you get what you pay for... Also, GREAT FIGHT! I was is he seriously taking on 2 thargoids in an FDL... huh... I don't think I would want to do that... lolol
You are the best !
Don't EVER fuck around with my NieR, my guy. I'll let it slide this once.... but I'm watchin' you. o_o
Amazing.
Beautifull !!!
Outstanding work commander!.....rtb
Remind me to stay on your good side
what's the song?
Thrilling!!!
u should use pack-hounds to shoot down the organic missile, it works really well
Do you by chance have a GTX 970? I get those exact same stutters on these kinds of Barnacle forests, and I think it's because of all the framebuffer dumping through the 3.5GB defect all GTX970's have.
I have a 1060 6GB, and they patched this stuttering with planetary goid fights from what I've experienced lately, at least for my graphics card. It's still more performance heavy on planet, but nowhere near this bad.
Soundtrack is grandma destruction from nier automata
Great videos!
Would be even better without the music or at the very least with the music turned down so you can hear the action more over it.
The battles and your piloting generate enough excitement, you don't really need it IMO.
hello from 2021
Now, I wanted to take a ferdelance and go to the planet of thargoid barnacle.
That is impressive
I can't seem to find any ships larger than scouts
What type of ship is being flown in the video?
Interceptor class, feel free to check out my other videos for info.
i play this on Xbox, and i can’t imagine having to go through the nightmare of aiming so accurately with fixed weapons on a controller... maybe i should get this on my pc
These guys remind me a lot of the Yuuzhan Vong.
Godlike! :)))))
Bro pls say name sistem, planet and coordinates!!!!!
I'd like to see him solo five cyclops interceptors
Really a cool experience! And FA off to boot. Do these surface types never throw out swarms? This made the fight much easier. I wish this had a real effect on the game.
Space Voyager I fly FAO out of habit
Good video but man please work on the audio quality, I don't think it could've sounded any more compressed.
6:33
Thargoids implemeted new tactics!
THARGOID RAM
Or was it a revenge for 1:37?
Egor Zakharov Look carefully at his altimeter; That’s his ship striking the planet’s surface.
impressive o7
Game name?
Elite: Dangerous
how long were u waiting there?
TOPBLAZER85 a good while @_@
Gluttony Fang i tried to ambush one but gave up after 2 hours of waiting lol
Hope you had an SRV when farming MA's they seem to spawn when the SRV enters a range regular combat build probably couldn't trigger one. I think instance cycling will work better than hoping in an out of ship not sure if shooting MA is required for some BGS trigger but if you cycled near a MA and shoot it between cycles it would probably guarantee a spawn. Don't have numbers or anything but I didn't see any till about 2 hours of farming then I saw more spawns 3 to 5 in my last 2 hours, but coin flips will get you heads 10/10 tries some times.
who the fuck dislikes this videos and why????
space-cannabis is all i see.
If the Thargoids win maybe Fdev will fix mining, exploring, and other game elements, or make something, anything, worth doing in this stupid ass skinner box.
thargoid fight can be a lot more enjoyable without thargon//

No thank you...
If he just would not always use this kind of shitty music that doesnt Fit elite at all...
i think it fits just fine, i like NIer automata music. it increases a battle from just being a "battle" to an "epic battle" but thats my opinion. we all have different tastes in music.
+ snap I concur: the music is epic and totally fitting.
This music is epic
Hes fighting two thargoid interceptors alone, I think the music is "Duel of the Fates"-esque and fits the battle pretty damn well.
What music is this?
