Thargoid armada?

Post by Rogue7414 »

Can anyone tell me if this one has been posted or even made into an OXP?

A massive Thargoid Armada heading towards a station/planet intent on that systems total destruction? I've got the Thargoid OXP installed and as part of my Navy reserve duty I've fought in conflict between Navy and the Thargoids near the withcspace beacon. But I was wondering if there's anything out there or that could be made that would inject a sense of doom/dread of a truely massive Thargoid armada heading towards a planet/station and all available combat ships have to hold the line until planet/station is evacuated or Navy reinforcements arrive and try and save the day?

Sounds like you need to check out Xeptatl's Sword. Not so much destruction of a system but an attempt to colonise all of GalCop space starting at (Censored). :)

The middle act of my [EliteWiki] TCAT OXP mission fits that bill perfectly.

Also try out [EliteWiki] Thargoid Carrier OXP. It does more or less exactly what you're looking for.

Lol, I was looking and reading the description of the first two that were suggested so when I typed my reply I hadn't seen your response Commander McLane :oops:

Off to install that one as well.

Cheers again guys.

p.s. for extra intensity add the Thargoid Carrier OXP -- now that's a beast of a ship.

p.p.s.: If you just want to add a PS to your latest post (or correct a typo, or …), there is a handy "edit" button at its lower right corner, right next to the "quote" button. Using it avoids unnecessary double posting. :wink:

But if you want to see the biggest Thargoid armada install Thargoid Carrier, Thargorn Threat and Thargoid Wars go to G2 and induce a missjump. To add balance you could add Galactic Navy and also the Behemoths that go with it. The battle is huge and the rewards with kill count and bounty are large for one fight. Especially after you have collected all the drones you can and shot the rest. Just make sure you have an empty hold first.

But that is of course if you survive. Take a note of your kill count and credits first and compare after.

And that was the last we ever heard from him . Poor beggar - we scream his name across the wide-band in-memoriam occasionally.
