How-not-to run into Thargoids. :)

Post by Commander Gralen »

Hi guys!
I'm becoming a 'lil bit bored, floating in space, so i'd like to know how to trigger running into Thargoids. I ran into them once by a 'Witchdrive malfunction' and beat them. Eventually.

But how to find them again?
And for other peoples sakes: how to avoid it?

Diddle around with your flight controls at the moment you jump. Pitching upwards while jumping is the bestway to triggera malfunction.
And so I gave myself to God. There was a pregnant pause before He said "OK"

Make sure yoy have enough fuel to make it back home, though. So no forced misjumps between destinations >3.5 LY away...

(If you're lucky, you can hitch a ride home on a Behemoth, if you have the extension installed, but don't count on it, cops never there when you need them the most ;)
