I never imagined that I would spend my entire weekend shooting up imaginary aliens on my computer but I'll be honest, this is the most fun I had gaming in a long time.
Same. I had put elite down around the time odyssey released. I was just disappointed with how slow the story unfolded and how uninteresting it was(at the time) Saw the invasion of Sol and hopped back in, hopped in my old AX ship and went to defend Procyon. Made almost 1billion in credits. It was some of the most fun I've had in Elite in a very long time.
I've never been able to do AX fighting, I've just gotten into it since Sol got attacked, it's been awesome seeing these massive battles with corvettes, condas and cutters
@@frankbethmann7664 And what Americans told themselves when landing in Normandy. It's been all over the place. We Germans aren't the only ones with that experience, trust me.
The battle for the megaship was on of the most brutal and difficult fights I have ever experienced in this war. Thargoids kept throwing everything at us it was a lot of fun!
CMDR Kaede Ichigo reporting o7, a survivor of the battle for Orunmilla, at one point the Thargoids had us overwhelmed with 6 Hydras but the great pilots at AXI teamed up and victory was achieved.
CMDR Samuel E, took part in defending the megaship, got absolutely decimated up there until i switched from a python to the trusty chieftain, love that thing to bits. o7 commanders.
we've just won Epsilon Eridani from the filthy goids. Linaweaver Landing had some of the most brutal attacks across the entire day, glad to have taken part in the majority of this battle.
Helped take down 2 Hydras at Tau Ceti last night. Was providing support with an AX mandaly and shreding hearts when they were exposed on the interceptors.
Having scouted Sol I can give the following sitrep. The Thargoid are expending tactical reserves conducting search patterns looking for something or someone at the North Pole 🎅 . This could be the worse Xmas ever
I was in the battle of my homesystem Tau Ceti and i am relieved to see it freed and clear now i will move to help whenever i am needed.Thank you as always for the cool vid and hope you are well!
@@Meanderthal17 if you're going against a hydra, don't worry if you keep on shooting and it just doesnt go down - hydras are incredibly tough and are not meant to be taken out by a single or even pair of cmdrs, you're sure as hell doing something, keep it up cmdr!
@@DanY-mj4gl Makes sense! last night I realized I can take down cyclops with relative ease, but hydras don't seem to go down unless we have like 5 people on em! And then they sometimes just go insanely faster than me and I cannot keep up with em. Been having a blast though!
As an Imperial loyaly serving our Emporer Arissa Duval, all of my time was devoted to her. Those, what you call them? Thargids? Thargots? Thargoids? Whatever, I rerely looked at Galnet, too busy in service to The Emporer, but, once I read the new that these sub-species dared to take Sol, the birthplace of Humanity. Well, it suddenly became personal. As of now, countless Hydras and legions of their drones have fallen to us. Its time Humanity finally rid the Galaxy of this infestation once and for all
Have we given any thought to just what might happen to Earth's atmosphere if a Titan that normally operates around an ammonia world goes into meltdown over an oxygen rich world?
I felt the same, so I grabbed the krait mk ii ax prebuild and made just a couple modifications. Only engineered my lasers to lvl 3 since I realized I don't have the lvl 5 engineers unlocked. Luckily, of the few ships I do have, half of them are setup simply to farm engineering materials.
I know what the targoids were looking for, they wanted our turkeys, pigs, chickens, you know, all those Christmas foods, but we don't share our Christmas dishes, no sir.
You know i really hope there is more It cant be this fast 8 years of relatively nothing till now and half of the systems are already liberated in less than a week
I mean, are we skipping over the fact no matter what we do... Earth is screwed. We blow up the Titan and it'll turn at least part of Earth into a caustic wasteland.
Been dping the same thing all day out of the Eezii system (dont know the correct spelling) but stopped recently after getting interdicted in Hyperspace by a fierce Hydra, which almost made me loos passengers. Somehow avoided it😂
We would make a lot more progress of instances that can't coordinate against hydras just reset the cz. You can still earn the kill reward if you fly 70-93km from the cz. Just dont go farther or you 'leave' the cz itself. The hydras will despawn as long as everyone in that instance is beyond 70km and POOF: 💰
I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree I just want you out of Sol More than you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is not you Cojico
wish it wasnt so buggy tho i was helping the fight when thargoid hunter classes started clipping into the planet, a hydra dissapeared on my screen, i couldnt attack it but ig it couldnt attack me either but yet i saw several people firing at what looked like nothing. ships (both CMDR and thargoid) kept teleporting around and then occasionally i would just stop being able to do any damage no matter how much i shoot.
This success is only possible because I managed to hurt a Cyclops. It was limping when I tactically retreated with a broken canopy and it looked really scared of me, it kept ita distance while I was flying in the oposite dirction at 540. Anyway, that was CLEARLY the moment that set up all for success. Yes.

I'm an outsider but wouldn't they have systems they control outside of the bubble? If so, wouldn't they retreat to their own territory, stop invading, and then the endless fight goes to them? They just become another power like alliance/empire/fed, but one who has KOS for any visitors.

"The war will be over by Christmas"
always a sentence that ends well...
It's been over two years. I think it's a fair estimate.
It's what Hitler told his troops when he sent them to Russia during WW2... as a German, it feels weird to read this in an ED context all the time. 😊o7

Battle of Orunmilla was a toughy they threw everything before the final wave, seems they really wanted to destroy it

Thank the SPACE TRUCKERS for showin up in bunches - they should have neva messed with HUTTON ORBITAL!
Been fighting in Wolf 359 and killed my first Hydra with my squad. Glory to mankind
I was there in Duamta and Orunmilla. Hydras are an intense way for me to get my first taste of thargoid fighting
Intense, but fun! I'm honestly not sure I'm actually doing anything but I'm certainly trying to stay in range and keep shooting!

They’ve come to get back the tech Santa stole from them in order to visit every child in one night.
Barnard Star and Wolf 359. Are these a deliberate nod to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Star Trek?
They are a nod to real life objects in space.
words you never, and i mean NEVER say in a war. "It'll be over by Christmas." lol
Ive been in Barnard's Star since Friday killing and making a killing. Good work CMDRs.. Lets keep it up! 🔥👽🔥. For Sol and for humanity.
I was there at orunmilla. We killed so many bugs that day!!!
I know what the targoids were looking for, they wanted our turkeys, pigs, chickens, you know, all those Christmas foods, but we don't share our Christmas dishes, no sir.
Had fun taking back EZ Aquarii last night. Should have jumped into AX so much sooner.
@pipingham and I were fighting in Wolf 359 last night. We successfully defended the orbital space station there. It was a good 5 hour fight.
You know i really hope there is more
It cant be this fast
8 years of relatively nothing till now and half of the systems are already liberated in less than a week
No-one wants to be captured by the Thargoids
By Christmas you say...
I mean, are we skipping over the fact no matter what we do... Earth is screwed. We blow up the Titan and it'll turn at least part of Earth into a caustic wasteland.
Keep up the fight, i'll be out here doing passenger missions in your honor lol.
My hope: The final battle will take place in Wolf 359 :)
Santa goid is coming to tooooown!
I dont think fighting the alien invaders in Wolf359 will go how people think it will.. or maybe it will go exactly how people think it will!
I have a vague intuition, like from another universe or timeline, that every ship that tries to defend Wolf 359 is destroyed.
Well, let's hope the Thargoids don't have any aces up their sleeves...
Wish i could join in the fight
I'm so confused, what are we supposed to be doing?
All I ask is that we save the Mugs
Can you all slow down? I’m away till the weekend and wanna do my part!

5 already :D
I did not kidnap Seo during my evac missions, i did however Evac a Franklin Winters .. i wonder if theyre related to madam president
How good of a computer do you need for this. Sitting in the safe consoleverse, all of us have missed the thargoid campaign and colonisation updates.
