@@gyorgyjanossy1081 sorry? are you talking about the same game we're talking about? the one with the literal galaxy sized map? I get that frequenting stations gets repetitive but the gameplay is far from a mess
I attack em for wasting my time. Lol surprisingly you can use the shutdown field neutralizer (it actually works) when they interdict you if you time it properly and then you are free to move around and do your thing while they scan you. Although when I try it and attack them they just fly away anyway. I'll have to go try again and see if I can get them to stick around and fight me to verify they arent on train tracks and always programmed to scan and leave. Lol Edit: This exact interdiction looks like the initial introduction interdiction. That is because his ship was shut down instantly when interdicted. At least now when I am interdicted my ship works fine for about 4 seconds after dropping out where I can pulse my shutdown neutralizer before the shutdown wave hits my ship. But this guy was shut down instantly so this must have been the initial interdiction for this game account or maybe it is how interdictions used to play out in older versions of the game.
if i remember correctly they evolved in witch space (the rift we use to travel between star systems) and they made the FSD that we copied, but they of course have the perfected version.
I’ve only had this happen once and it was when I was in vr. When the cockpit went dark I actually felt cold and helpless. This is one of gamings most epic moments for me.
@@greatunclestroller7179 This game isn't like most. The large ships have roles to play, but they aren't the be all end all of the game Medium ships like the Fer De Lance, Krait Mk2, and Chieftain; are going to be your dominant combat ships That being said; people have killed thargoids in the beginner ship, which is literally just a box of space kleenex
I still remember my first time getting interdicted by a Thargoid. I was in an Adder that had only mining lasers and a single pulse laser attached to it, and I could only sit there in mute horror as this fleshy monstrosity circled my unpowered, uncontrolled ship. I frantically tried every key to get my ship back online with no success. I was utterly at the mercy of a thing I couldn't understand or communicate with. An eternity passed before my ship coughed back to life. I don't even think I waited around to see what it did after my thrusters came online, boosting away frantically and trying to coax my FSD to work long enough to carry me out of the thing's way. I didn't even stop to consider it might pull me right back out if it wanted to. I never once considered firing on it when my ship rebooted. It didn't fire first and I'm not in the habit of being the one to start an engagement, but even if I was I wouldn't have tried my luck. This creature, croaking and howling incomprehensibly at me, had pulled me from a jump between stars. I was beyond the reach of any human. I knew nothing about this thing, and any attempt to scan brought me no results. It was massive, and it was more than capable of destroying my ship if it chose to do so. It didn't. It had plucked me from the rift to look at me like a child might peel a snail off a leaf from a garden plant. It examined me, then went on its way. I have flown in the Pleiades since then, and have been pulled from jumps a couple more times by what I now know are Thargoids, but I have yet to fire on one. I let them look at me until they are satisfied. It's a small toll to pay when passing through their star systems.
TheCammerhammer Wow what a beautiful comment. What do you do for a living? Are you a writer, or something in storytelling? I feel like I’ve never been more engaged in any RUclips comment than yours. Felt like I read a page of a great sci-fi book 😄
@@aleksanderm8138 I don't write or tell stories for a living, although that would be a nice change of pace. I only write occasionally as a hobby, and sci-fi isn't my poison of preference when I do!
@@TheCammerhammer I'm new to the game and freaked out the first time I was interdicted in supercruise by a freaking NPC. Now I'm studying these videos and comments like yours so I know what to expect if this happens to me with the Thargoids.
@@Kyo-kf6jf People who complain about such things are very narrow minded people. They focus on aspect of something and ignore all other related things. For example that language changes, grows and evolves. More specific to your example about 'Space Stations', this is an example of Spacedock not understanding English's growth and change(at best). Just to pull the definition of 'station' from Merriam-Webster, ": the place or position in which something or someone stands or is assigned to stand or remain" A Space station is assigned to stand at or remain at a planet, or a star or at a relative spot in solar system(lagrange points come to mind here). And this isn't even going into all the other ways that 'Space Station' is a culturally correct term.
What's more Terrifying is the fact that while you are slow spinning, it's perfectly in sync. The level of precision their ships can achieve is god tier.
The Thargoid reveal on a completely unsuspecting gaming community has to be one of the best moments in gaming ever. Gamers complacent in 100's of hours of trade and grind monotony suddenly getting the crap scared out of them was so memorable. What a pity Frontier couldn't keep it going and so many expectations have come to so little.
Literally sent shivers down my spine when I was hyperdicted by Thargoids, the sounds, the atmosphere is just so intense. Absolutely stunning in 4k, great video!
i can imagine every reaction he had in this video. "alright, next jump." "just gonna check my phon-" "wtf" "where am i? "why cant i move?" "whats that noise..." "why is it getting louder..." "wait" "WAIT" "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING" "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING" "WHY IS IT GROWLING AT ME?!" "WHATS GOING ON!???!!?!?!?"
The first time it happened to me I was so confused and I thought I somehow messed up a hyper jump... But for me it was 5 months ago and the thargoid was not particularly happy to see me and killed me in 4 seconds :)
Sounds that thing makes are just out of this world. That rumble just shakes you to the bone. Game receives a lot of criticism about various aspects, but nobody could ever deny that sound design in ED is ace. Absolutely second to none.
Say what you will about Thargoids, make all the jokes you want, but man they have presence and a sort of lovecraftian mystery about them that I am addicted to
Such a good cut scene. The visuals are great of course, but my god that sound design is superb. I remember when this first started happening and we all lost our minds over it! This was the peak for ED, unfortunately it’s been downhill ever since…
Couldn’t agree more with all the comments regarding the sound design; it’s top tier. My personal favourite is the sound they put in just after you get pulled out of your ship (presumably the FSD, 0:48) powering down after being forcibly disengaged. Phenomenal.
While you don't get the higher res I'm sure it helps, can't remember were I read it but i think the video either plays with a higher bit rate or it gives an effect similar too supersamling.
Ahh, I remember when they first released the thargoids. I wasnt skilled or lucky enough to be in a position to get interdicted myself, but when I first saw a video of a thargoid interdiction it sent chills down my spine. It boggles my mind today to think about what the first person who encountered one on the open servers mustve felt when it was happening. Makes me wonder what we'll feel if or when we encounter aliens in real life... Hopefully we end up alive after it to tell the tale.
When it glows gold I thought to myself "Aw fuck, space dust simulator here we go" and close my eyes The fact that the ship was not getting laserbeam'd to dust still surprise me.
So fucking well done, the way it ejects and spins you just right so the thargoid casts a shadow over your silenced ship along with that music, and the silence being contrasted by that loud, creepy sound they make as they scan you and leave, so fucking good
Imagine the first veteran getting an interdiction, having the thought that you are untouchable in hyperspace maybe sipping on a beverage to having the feeling of being totally powerless in front of a gigantic starfish...
Is it still possible to get this cinematic interdiction to happen, and if so, how? I've been hyperdicted a few times around Witch Head but it's always the short, unscripted version where they immediately scan you and leave.
This was very early on, when they first introduced thargoids into the game. We still didn't even have any weapons, or xeno scanner developed, or the shut down field neutraliser. I kinda miss these Interdiction events.
@@Jenna_Talia Interdictions is not that "cinematic" anymore. Thargoids just pull you out of the hyperspace and you have chance to activate shutdown field neutraliser for fight with ships who interdicted you. So yes, they changed interdition event.. ;( I miss these cinematics, it was so cool.. :c
@@kukuc96 in a way Thargoids are like anti-borg, living organic Starships with no clear indication if they even have crew or if the ship itself is the guiding intelligence, I think they would intimidate even the Borg in sufficient numbers
I never realized the rupture of time-space fabric (or something like that) this thing creates, and the fast spinning as well, just before it enters into the worm hole until now.
@@CreeperDude-cm1wv Yes, you always get pulled into a system. Due to how game instances work, There is no deep space instance. You can be 5 ly away from your target or origin system but you will still be in a system.
I remember my first interdiction. Shit gets scary when you’re an explore and are traveling through the witch head. It’s happened so many times I can almost pick a interdiction out by instinct.
So you jumped into Hyper speed, looked like you appeared to cover some ground, and then you were pulled out pretty much where you started? thought you would have been pulled out somewhere in between the two points :s (see 0:16 & 0:51) not questioning the video, just thought it was interesting how Thargoid interdection works.
If we assume that current theories of spacetime are (more or less) correct, a wormhole would appear to the traveler as something like a portion of real spacetime existing independently of our universe - a sort of mini-universe of it's own. There would only be two points of connection to our universe, one at each 'end' of the wormhole. So if you are pitched out, you'll end up at one or the other, probably with a 50:50 chance of either. There's simply nowhere else to get off.
you can actually tell and prepare if you're going to get hyperdicted, if your ship starts shaking a bit, you're fine, if it's perfectly still then it's a hyperdiction
@@jspr2k5 Waves don't need particles to travel, only to vibrate. The impact of sound waves against the ship and through its interior still produce a sound. Not to mention, the more mass/distance a wave has to travel through, the more its frequency and amplitude are dampened.
COVAS: "Scan detected!" Me: "Oh geez, thanks COVAS! Abit late on the trigger dont you thing?!" Did the scan warning came because you dropped the cargo or because COVAS was sleepy when the Thargoid scanned you?
The video is from when the first interdictions were starting to happen. So It was the Unknown Artifact that scanned me. Now known as Thargoid ?Probe? I think.
@@AlicanGoodmane I know when the video is from, I checked the date that it was uploaded. But it looked like COVAS warned you about the Thargoid that scanned you as it was kinda right after your ship botted up
It's the thargoid object. They scan you first then they emit some kind of sound, if you analyze the sound coming from it,, you find that it's giving you 3D coordinates, and with those 3D you can see that it's the crude drawing of your ship. coordinates it's drawing of the ship you are in.
So, in my encounter, yesterday, I was able to boost away the instant Hyperdiction was done and managed a second boost between system stutters. The thargoid did finally shut down my systems, but I was already travelling at nearly 500 away from them. They gave up and took off before my systems recovered.
I had one of those bastards pull me out of hyperspace while I was coming back home for repairs (including a broken windscreen) after a long session of pirate hunting Needless to say, I got back to the station with less than a minute of oxygen remaining
I feel really bittersweet watching this. On one hand this is such a cool thing to see, but on the other I don't get to experience seeing this for myself in game.
Me wondering what these Thargoids are...keep seeing the term and the weird look through the hyper space but this is first time seeing it up close. Wild. Do they just like to muk about and use the ships as play toys
i would scramble to reset systems and get the ship back online and then haul ass to the nearest station and report what was seen, even if it is hostile to the faction i am in
When your doing a jump but the jump is taking longer than usual then you think "MAYBE THIS IS THE ONE" but you realize you've been downloading a game on steam 🤣
That alien vessel is coincidentally the same shape and sound my asshole would make if I suddenly got pulled out of hyperspace by an curious moaning flower 🌸
This has made me want to play again but I haven't played in about 4 years and wouldn't know where to start. I have an Imperial Clipper parked somewhere.
Lots of things has been added. Along with quality of life updates. More ways to engage with Thargoids. If you have the DLC I would say, you can start by getting used to SRV controls. From there, engineering your ship to increase your ships modules to get more out of your parts. Then Alien stuff :D P.S. Alien stuff can be difficult.
I started again after 2 years, the first thing i did was shooting at my home station while trying to leave the docking bay because i didnt even know how to fly anymore. Got annihilated.
This sound design is astonishing I wish I had a better computer to experience this on higher quality for immersion purposes... I have to put most things at minimum and I'm still at 30 FPS
When this happened to me the first time that was the coolest moment in videogames ever. The sound design and general atmosphere in this game are breathtaking. Haven't played in a long time but now i think i'll install it again.
I think it's worth a try, I mean the new DLC is coming up anyways, if you had any unfinished stuff you can do them to get ready for the Odyssey at the moment of my reply.

I miss these cinematics, it was so cool.. :c
@@Jenna_Talia now its a full blown battle. Back then its exactly what you see.
1:24 "Dang! Deploy it now!"
Don't ever give up, my son
Anyone else thing yuzhong vong when seeing this?
I freaked out for a second lol
Outbound Flight anyone?
@@kukuc96 in a way Thargoids are like anti-borg, living organic Starships with no clear indication if they even have crew or if the ship itself is the guiding intelligence, I think they would intimidate even the Borg in sufficient numbers
imagine if the medusa or hydra could interdict you like this... way more terrifying then it already is
Spoiler alert
They actually do. And not alone, got hyperdicted by 3 medusa just yesterday
I was a mere Beluga commander when I was first hyper-dicted.
Lets just say the tips that day were great.
An example of how powerful good sound design can be
1:17 this sounds so much like Alien Isolation. It doesn't make me feel too good.
And... there's people fighting this ???? Jesus I would be too scared to even scratch it !!!!
It's actually really easy those Cyclops aren't very tough. If you are in a Wing you can pretty much Insta-Kill them
if that's a Scout of their ships then what do their Capitols look like if that where they end at get something big like the greater ark from halo
Never been hyperdicted yet, but white dwarves sure instill a divine fear in me.
I never realized the rupture of time-space fabric (or something like that) this thing creates, and the fast spinning as well, just before it enters into the worm hole until now.
that first sound when they interdict you gives chills. by the way where did they pull you out into? just dead space?
200k away from jump point or something like that
@@AlicanGoodmane so you are in the system?
@@CreeperDude-cm1wv Yes, you always get pulled into a system.
Due to how game instances work, There is no deep space instance. You can be 5 ly away from your target or origin system but you will still be in a system.
I remember my first interdiction. Shit gets scary when you’re an explore and are traveling through the witch head. It’s happened so many times I can almost pick a interdiction out by instinct.
Elite isn't even a horror game, yet this scene is scarier than most horror games and movies that came out recently
So you jumped into Hyper speed, looked like you appeared to cover some ground, and then you were pulled out pretty much where you started? thought you would have been pulled out somewhere in between the two points :s (see 0:16 & 0:51) not questioning the video, just thought it was interesting how Thargoid interdection works.
1 Ly is a really long distance. and I was out like 300-400k Ls from star. So it covered some distance.
Its funny how a thargoid is able to pull you out of hyperspace, essentially decellerating you by who knows how much.
yeah.. quite interesting.. maybe a bug
@Blubedcon I'm pretty sure that it only works that way for supercruise. It works a little differently for hyperspace I think
If we assume that current theories of spacetime are (more or less) correct, a wormhole would appear to the traveler as something like a portion of real spacetime existing independently of our universe - a sort of mini-universe of it's own. There would only be two points of connection to our universe, one at each 'end' of the wormhole. So if you are pitched out, you'll end up at one or the other, probably with a 50:50 chance of either. There's simply nowhere else to get off.
Its sad to see elite decline into the abyss in the shadow of other better space sims like Star Citizen
I probably would have shat myself if that had been my first encounter with a Thargoid
Sound is stunning and the interdiction itself Is soooo scary
you can actually tell and prepare if you're going to get hyperdicted, if your ship starts shaking a bit, you're fine, if it's perfectly still then it's a hyperdiction
Something so damn bone chilling about being in middle of space and your ship just powers off out of no where and than an alien ship appears
Everbody gangsta till you see the fan is pulling you of space
welcome to elite dangerous, with your daily dose of terror
Some of the sound effects are present in the film "Interstellar" or are very similar and I didn't notice it before lol.
Cool stuff.
Nice I haven't paid that much attention to movie :D
First time i saw this i almost pissed my pants,i mean bruh i could literately feel the hairs on the back of my neck standing up 🤣
How do we hear the flower in the vacuum of space?
I'd say virtualization. Some kind of sensor tracking close by objects for vibrations and creating a virtual sound.
Space isn't a perfect vacuum so sound does travel in it.
@@TheGoldfishAssasin true that it's not a true vacuum but there are far too few particles (atoms) for sound to vibrate
I'd just say sci-fi logic, but eh...
@@jspr2k5 Waves don't need particles to travel, only to vibrate. The impact of sound waves against the ship and through its interior still produce a sound.
Not to mention, the more mass/distance a wave has to travel through, the more its frequency and amplitude are dampened.
3 years later that still looks badass, I'd still get excited seeing that happen to me.
COVAS: "Scan detected!"
Me: "Oh geez, thanks COVAS! Abit late on the trigger dont you thing?!"
Did the scan warning came because you dropped the cargo or because COVAS was sleepy when the Thargoid scanned you?
The video is from when the first interdictions were starting to happen. So It was the Unknown Artifact that scanned me. Now known as Thargoid ?Probe? I think.
@@AlicanGoodmane I know when the video is from, I checked the date that it was uploaded. But it looked like COVAS warned you about the Thargoid that scanned you as it was kinda right after your ship botted up
It's the thargoid object. They scan you first then they emit some kind of sound, if you analyze the sound coming from it,, you find that it's giving you 3D coordinates, and with those 3D you can see that it's the crude drawing of your ship. coordinates it's drawing of the ship you are in.
@@AlicanGoodmane I see
Literally got chills watching this high. Holy fuck.
Player: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?!
Alien: ayy lmao
So, in my encounter, yesterday, I was able to boost away the instant Hyperdiction was done and managed a second boost between system stutters. The thargoid did finally shut down my systems, but I was already travelling at nearly 500 away from them. They gave up and took off before my systems recovered.
I had one of those bastards pull me out of hyperspace while I was coming back home for repairs (including a broken windscreen) after a long session of pirate hunting
Needless to say, I got back to the station with less than a minute of oxygen remaining
I love the fact that his first reaction wasnt to try and shoot but to scan lol
It was for science 😅
I feel really bittersweet watching this. On one hand this is such a cool thing to see, but on the other I don't get to experience seeing this for myself in game.
One of the bad consequences of limited time events. Not everyone gets to live it.
damn i remember that feeling... my hands were shaking xD
Me wondering what these Thargoids are...keep seeing the term and the weird look through the hyper space but this is first time seeing it up close. Wild. Do they just like to muk about and use the ships as play toys
The first player to get interdicted must've shit themselves.
1:01 i would hate to be in this position if this happened irl
Its when it happens right after too u think there really gonna get ya
i would scramble to reset systems and get the ship back online and then haul ass to the nearest station and report what was seen, even if it is hostile to the faction i am in
Sound design is so important in video games, other devs should learn from frontier
When your doing a jump but the jump is taking longer than usual then you think "MAYBE THIS IS THE ONE" but you realize you've been downloading a game on steam 🤣
this is the only game that’s ever given me goosebumps
the fact you are left completly imobile is 200% more terrifying ontop of the slow reveal
That alien vessel is coincidentally the same shape and sound my asshole would make if I suddenly got pulled out of hyperspace by an curious moaning flower 🌸
This has made me want to play again but I haven't played in about 4 years and wouldn't know where to start. I have an Imperial Clipper parked somewhere.
Lots of things has been added. Along with quality of life updates. More ways to engage with Thargoids. If you have the DLC I would say, you can start by getting used to SRV controls. From there, engineering your ship to increase your ships modules to get more out of your parts.
Then Alien stuff :D
P.S. Alien stuff can be difficult.
I started again after 2 years, the first thing i did was shooting at my home station while trying to leave the docking bay because i didnt even know how to fly anymore. Got annihilated.
See you all after this video gets recommended to us in 5 years.
Thargoid translation: "What goods do you carry?"
.
.
"Pointless drag, my children will go hungry tonight..."
Damn, and I thought that my first ever NPC interdiction was scary
This sound design is astonishing
I wish I had a better computer to experience this on higher quality for immersion purposes... I have to put most things at minimum and I'm still at 30 FPS
When this happened to me the first time that was the coolest moment in videogames ever. The sound design and general atmosphere in this game are breathtaking. Haven't played in a long time but now i think i'll install it again.
I think it's worth a try, I mean the new DLC is coming up anyways, if you had any unfinished stuff you can do them to get ready for the Odyssey at the moment of my reply.
god, when the game is unscripted and this looks like its out of an AAA campaign
