2.4 The Return
hello it's commander Ricardo and I'm in the pleiades sector EB - XC 1 - 16 and
I've come across an non-human signal source which happens to be a Thargoid mother ship - I'm
getting my first encounter so I'd be quiet for a moment watch it unfold well
that was nice and sedate wasn't it he came over scanned me with his pro who
were misses and then went off so I gave a bit of pursuit as he went off to go
and scan some of the Imperial ships that were in the area as I got closer to it
you can see its posture changed out came the fog on so I'm calling him fog on say
make summer an old age gamer from the first game
but as soon as I backed off they were into a passive mode the color change
from red back to neutral and the thyroid ship then started to go around its
business scanning the Imperial ships just goes to show the Imperial ships are
susceptible as well as the
as you can see the third round if they're still spinning around that ship
like some sort of defense mode just letting me know don't get too close
because if you do look out but look where they're going they're going into
the back of the ship and then once those third guns have been recovered it's off
on its merry way having scanned what it wanted to and then creates a wake and
gets out of Dodge
that gives me a bit of time then to have a look at the devastation that it's left
in regards to the Imperial ships where is the devastation and battlefields
we've seen in the past have been Federation based in some case with
capital ships as well this they've hit the Empire and those cutters with green
smoking damage coming from their cockpit area as you've mentioned just as
susceptible to damage from the thyroids
again more ships in the area as well in addition to this though there were some
encrypted messages and some cargo left behind from the ships that's worthwhile
picking up and then taking onto the station should you have time and there
are plenty of stations now in the area well that was quite nice and peaceful I
managed to get away from that without getting destroyed so quite a nice
peaceful first encounter although brought a little bit attention
so I went looking not being content with having 1/3 going to encounter for
another one now in this system there plenty these non-human signal sources
and it wasn't long before I came across yet another source me to investigate
dropping out matches the same three other ships in system again Imperial
ships and there's our boy fog we'd come in to look at us and investigate what
we're doing now this time he scans again and I
apologize for the shaky camerawork outcome the tendrils of the scam but it
seems to be I must have been a bit too close because you can see the colors
changing and strobing so I went forward a bit more to investigate again
obviously got a bit too close and that anger depth the blood so I thought I'd
let it play out so the fair guns have been dispatched
there he is
with that cutter in the background and he's moving in he's gone black and
then red again they're swarming around when little ASP
there's the ASP look no I thought I would be I would've been it damaged
deader be gone get back to the rebuy screen but no I wasn't I was able to get
away boost away a bit the FIR Gon's went off
for the part of the system I was able to buzz the thyroid a couple of times I
didn't open fire on it though it certainly opened fired on me and I let
knew some chaff now from the cockpit that scanners show those contacts as
unknown and lots of numbers in the bottom left panel
gougers display deploying chaff I don't know why it just made me feel better but
there's the thyroid opening up with a different type of weapon that we've seen
before some sort of like minigun or kinetic weapon there are the Ferg ons
give me a bit of damage taking my shields down a 70-yard percent I'm just
wondering like if in the original games that if you do take out the mothership
if you can scoop up those thug ons you could then sell those at a station as
unknown artifacts or alien artifacts anyway I've been retired whispy any
