I hear this mentioned alot. Is it something you can actualy get to in Oolite? or is this talking about being ambushed by thargoids? and can you go there on purpose?

One way to get to interstellar space is to pull up (or push down) just as the Witchspace countdown timer reaches zero. This space is most often populated by Thargoids, but, depending on installed OXPs, can contain others as well.

Yes pitching up when the countdown reaches zero is like throwing the proverbial spanner into the witchbrooms.
This is a fundemental flaw in the witchdrive design.

Thargoids use a different paradigm to manipulate space altogether and are rumoured to be able to intrcept human vessels in mid-jump.
Not many have survived to tell about this, but reportings have been increasing ever since the onset of the Thargoidwars.
More recently commanders have started reporting being rescued from such ambushes by Behemoths, indicating that the Navy has found a way to provoce or imitate the Thargoid technology.

The witchspace mis-jump.... one of my favourite plot devices!

Cheers,
