I actually just got my Sol permit- and I decided to casually explore Sol for the first time. Suddenly there was a thargoid alert. I google it, but nobody was talking about it. So I got in my AX and blasted a few flowers, and then went to bed. Little did I know I as the first to play Earth Defense Force 4.1 in ED
The Thargoid invasion has all been one big misunderstanding. They only came to ask Buur, ‘where did you get that scarf from? I would like one of those scarves. … And, whilst we’re here, may I pet Stan?’
Just to add to my last post, just 10 minutes ago I did a run out of Sol with a Python. Station near Jupiter. Some guy wanted out BAD, he offered 50 million credits. For 12 passengers in economy. I thought it was a glich but I took the mission and a couple more. Intercepted on the way out, they shut down my drive twice, did the lightning bolt thing, fired missiles, the usual routine. Not as terrifying as last time and no passenger ejected. Warped out, got to the rescue ship and the run netted 62,875,050 credits. That guy actually paid up.

I hope its not lost on anyone that a pretty large group of us having been going hard in Sol over the last few weeks to flip system control from Mother Gaia to Sol Workers Party in an attempt to get the permit lock on Triton lifted. And, literally hours after the first day SWP outpaced MG for influence in Sol, goids suddenly bum rush the system.... there are no coincidences!
@@ChadFromSpace There is only one instance of a minor faction needing to be in power in a specific system to give you a permit lock I'm aware of. I wish I could remember off the top of my head which system it was, but it's one that the player base maintains specifically so people can get the permit because it used to be a place to grind manufactured material pretty easily. That said, Triton used to be landalbe and I don't recall it ever being tied to a specific faction issuing a permit. It just went permit locked one day. There was nothing of interest on the planet before the permit lock. We've also tried unlocking that planet in Lave with no success. Having done multiple BGS flips to push certain factions into power in various places based on their in game descriptions hoping something interesting would happen and nothing interesting happened I am leaning on this being pure coincidence. Fdev don't seem to pay attention at this level of detail.
Regarding hyperdictions... I've been hyperdicted EVERY time I jump out of Sol, and once jumping in. All hyperdictions have come with swarms and missiles. Instant attack on sight. I've been doing evac missions. That started after the system went into alert mode, so that's definitely changed recently. Hope you feel better soon, Burr!
@@geroffmilan3328 I'm using my type 9, just because I can fit a ton of cabins while also fitting hull reinforcements. It's super slow but can tank a bunch of hits. Will definitely lose some number of passengers each hyperdiction though
@@coreyalexbarker gotcha, yeah I'm musing on the idea of using something a little faster, to maybe outdistance the threat and high wake out? But I reckon still being super-tanky is a pretty solid requirement. Now the Type-8 is on general release, I'm wondering how it'd fare. Best to try it I suppose!
Thanks CMDR Buur for pointing out the rescue effort. Haulers get off yer butts and get to Sol, the effort is not on track to succeed, but we are making a constant dent in it. And it's... surprisingly lucrative.
I think the guy on reddit who was going full on tin-hatter mode with the Mother Gaia elimination plan may have been onto something, because the response in-game by the thargoid titan to their reduction in influence was very coincidental. Maybe FDev were waiting on players to hit that condition, and now that we are near they are pushing their story forward. Perhaps the Thargoids are fighting to escape this galaxy and find a portal to a new one? Or perhaps they wish to open them to allow new threats to enter our galaxy, or to share abundant resources within other galaxies? Perhaps this will open the doors for several new alien/sapient species to join or fight against the 'goids or humanity in their own fight for survival. I don't know enough about the portals everyone is talking about, but everyone is acting like they will be gateways to new universes, or galaxies, or something. I do not know where that information is coming from. Think about it from game a development perspective though. It allows for HUGE new changes to Elite lore, which let's face it, has been fairly stagnant. The possibilities for new empires, both human and alien, are ripe. Players will soon be able to colonize new systems - which is perfect for suddenly finding a whole bunch of new worlds connected to some kind of special gate right under our noses.
Yea something ain't adding up here. It's very coincidental- Ah hold lemme get my tinfoil hat. Feels like there's something more going on than just Thargoid invasion of Sol. They wouldn't just do that if there wasn't a massive story plan for after we either A. Destroy it or B. It reaches Sol and trigger some kind of event
Yesterday I went two runs out of SOL with passenger evac. Both jumps out I was hyperdicted and attacked on sight also with FSD blocking missiles from them. That was quite a sweaty experience :D
Yep, I was doing the passenger transport, when I left Sol, I got hyperdicted and lightly shot at by a few scouts, then one of the big spooky ones came and started some crazy nonsense, forcing the passengers to be flung out and left (no chance I was gonna get them back 😢) . I think they ought to make a way for escorting ships to help otherwise vulnerable ships in the hyperdiction zone
@@technodubber1905 That would be useful all right! I absolutely hate losing passengers & an escort that instances with your hyperdiction would genuinely be a game-changer. In the meantime I'm using an economy cabin-stuffed Type 8 that *just* tips 500 with an ECM to counter their FSD-breaking missiles & just boosting for dear life.
@@CMDR_BIPE In my experience at least they really make a difference, but you also need enough speed to get a good bit ahead of the xenos so that you're not spammed by missiles, and to high-wake escape (using ECM means hardpoints deployed, so no FSD charging until they're retracted - you need to have enough distance to be sufficiently ahead of their missiles to not need the ECM but every second is still nerve-wracking, especially when missiles are fired while you're mid-charge!) So ECM coupled with the fastest boost you can engineer (I try to exceed 500 if possible, and extra heatsinks are good too with all that boosting) is how I've managed to stay ahead of the body-snatchers - I hope any of that is useful!
Triton, and the artifact on Mars. Both have been well kept secrets for a very long time in ED. Both good theories. And I hope you feel well agian soon.
This could set the stage for an epic final climatic battle in the first phase of the ongoing thargoid war. If the battle results in a victory for the commanders then the developers should announce an offline mode for the legacy version as a thanks to everyone who participated in the war.
Boy gee whizz! Guess I better dust off the old control sticks and hop back into my old rust bucket! Hopefully I can find a group to roll with, preferably one that only uses in-game comms!
Get well soon! Great you mentioned that artefact they found on Mars, so I don't have to! :D Was the first thing my brain jumped to. I'm also wondering what's up on Titan. Since forever!
Same. This week I've been working on cold orbiting. Slowly getting there, I mess up a lot though. I did manage to solo a cyclops today, which was an achievement for me! I hope your AX journey is fruitful and fun
@@BarbarisII Before I knew the differences in the interceptors, I snagged like, 4 kill 1 hydra missions LMAO! I havent even seen one yet, Im right there with ya though, Ive got about 10 cyclopses down and feel like I can handle them. Bring on the hydra! hahaha
When i first saw the clip of the Titan headed for Earth, i thought cool Fdev finally did something new, then them damn bugs went after a Voyager probe, now they pay
I was chasing after the titan earlier today as it passed through one of the systems. I was in my new type-8 and had just maxed out the SCO, not sure if it's the fastest, but I was @4500c+ and Cocijo was still pulling away pretty quickly.
Watch the Mars artifact, although I don't think it's a Thargoid relic; I believe it to be Construct in origin. The Construct are the true rivals of the Thargoids.
Where's Holden & Miller when the giant alien space projectile starts rocketing to Earth, eh? Hope your recovery is swift and easy, bud; hot toddies ftw!
Hmm, will we get once burried game lore about systems or planets/moons with unknown permits? Some time ago somebody stated that ED headed off it's original lore course which counted with explaining unknown permits by some stories. I would like to get option to fly in such systems
Here I am back after five years of absence and it’s all kicking off. I was busy trying to get my Federal and Imperial ranks up but it seems I might have to Engineer up an Orca and come and help. I am not a fighter and I have never seen a Thargoid so hopefully I’ll just be able to do some passenger stuff. Now I know how those fishermen might have felt heading to Dunkirk…
Some interesting new (to me) information about the properties of Sol. Regarding the Thargoid advance towards Sol, as soon as I found out, I hurried to relocate my racing division headquarters to Suhte, hoping that this is far enough away for the time being. Also all the other ships I had scattered about the bubble got called back in. I would like to take a look at the Stargoid, as I was stuck in the museum when the Stargoids were on their way. But I don't know if I may find the time to do so. Oh, and... Welcome to the League of coughing and sneezing Humans. We can offer you herbal teas to support you in getting well again. Yeah, right, there are also some cookies available. A triple thundering atchoo to our new member(s)!
Ive been hyperdicted a few times entering sol the past few days and can assure you they are not just scanning. Its very much shoot on sight or at least has been for me.
I wondered why I suddenly got a Sol Permit. Thought it was from all the data deliveries I was doing. No, it was so I could lend a hand in fighting the Thargoids. No way, I'm a lover, not a fighter.
I've been out in the inky black for so long, I no longer wish to meet anyone, let alone aliens. Last time I returned to sell my data (2016?), it was a race to the nearest station.
@@bitspacemusic I docked my Beluga on a carrier in the formidine rift. While this sounds interesting the day or two of travel to get back doesn't thrill me.
I’m a very, very, casual ED player. Started on PS4 and now on steam deck to give an impression of just how casual I am. I’ve jumped back in after a very long break because the whole Sol thing is the first time a big game event has happened that I can join in with. I’ve never had any contact with Thargoids either. Imagine my surprise when my retrofitted mining python, full of evacuees, was utterly obliterated with all hands lost when leaving Sol. I’m licking my wounds now, having been thoroughly taught a lesson, but in terms of exhilarating gameplay it was brilliant.
I'm trying my best to evac as many as I can, turning my space uber (Dolphin) into a evac ship. Hoping to take all the funds I earn to invest in a larger ship to get even more people out.
Sorry what's happening back at home? I came back after to Sol after this - I never get involved in any of these things and it all seemed like everything was normal - I looked up some settlements and they showed no sign of being on alert. Just this moon round Neptune called Triton that I apparently don't still have a permit for that, what have I not completed in the game so far then: selling 8 Thargoid octopuses to a space bar or jumping up and down three times on a
Meanwhile I'm out here in the black backtracking after I accidentally let my SRV run out of fuel. Here's hoping I can finish that and still participate.
I would imagine that this is the start of the colonization narrative ... mankind being severely battered thus needing colony ships to go forth and re-build our future ...
I'm going to go out and unlock guardian weapons, and fast-track engineering my ships so that I can reliably kill interceptors. I'll be grinding in my Mandalay for its jump range. Otherwise I have an Anaconda, Federal Gunship, and a Python MkII. Which of those three would be the best for taking out interceptors? And what kind of loadout?
The dead game has risen. Might take a look at Sol and rescue some souls. Sounds like catching up with all of Frontier’s content releases took a toll on your voice. ❤ o7
I was leaving sol with a load of refugee's in my none AX Python MKI. I got hyperdicted and was immediately attacked and destroyed by a Glaive or Sythe. Buur, you love a good cold you, get well soon.
@@AndyFirebladeMuza I loaded up my heavy and only survived because I have some heavy armor and hull reinforcements. They totally used some kind of hatchbreaker and stole a few passengers though :/
@@AndyFirebladeMuza I *almost* did my first run in my python since that's what I always did the robigo runs in ages ago. Soon as I got hyperdicted and saw my shields go down in a breath, was glad I had some hull hp on my side :)

“There is a Thargoid Titan heading straight for Sol”…. That sends shivers down my spine.

Feeling cute, might head over to Sagittarius A* for the 10th anniversary of its first visit later.
Oh dude! So sorry you're feelng bad. I hope it cears up soon.
I'm trying my best to evac as many as I can, turning my space uber (Dolphin) into a evac ship. Hoping to take all the funds I earn to invest in a larger ship to get even more people out.
It seems frightening... Thanks.
Now that we have sco we can race the stargoid
titan moving soon after someone potentially figuring out where Raxxla is (in sol) is kinda sus
Sorry what's happening back at home? I came back after to Sol after this - I never get involved in any of these things and it all seemed like everything was normal - I looked up some settlements and they showed no sign of being on alert. Just this moon round Neptune called Triton that I apparently don't still have a permit for that, what have I not completed in the game so far then: selling 8 Thargoid octopuses to a space bar or jumping up and down three times on a
Meanwhile I'm out here in the black backtracking after I accidentally let my SRV run out of fuel.
Here's hoping I can finish that and still participate.
I would imagine that this is the start of the colonization narrative ... mankind being severely battered thus needing colony ships to go forth and re-build our future ...
It's a BUG HUNT!!!
Get well soon!
Do you only need max cabbins or are there economy/business/luxury requirements when evacuating?
For group evacs, all economy is fine
Get well soon cmdr Buur o7
I'm going to go out and unlock guardian weapons, and fast-track engineering my ships so that I can reliably kill interceptors. I'll be grinding in my Mandalay for its jump range.
Otherwise I have an Anaconda, Federal Gunship, and a Python MkII.
Which of those three would be the best for taking out interceptors? And what kind of loadout?
it would be one way of destroying the raxxla myth if the thargs get there first
Oh yeah I forgot the locked plant in SOL.
Amazing footage today especially the thargoid stuff, get well soon I'm Commander Buur
❤ (whilst secretly giggling like Rhee in the background)
Thank you Elvis ❤ I did offer to read the script but we all know how it would have ended 😂
12000+LYs from bubble and this happens. Do I finish my trip or do I turn around?
Famrastic reporting and analysis as akways! o7
If the Titan is moving towards Sol, maybe he's returning home!
Get well soon! ;)
Hey CMDR Buur, I hope your cold, upper respiratory infection or flu gets better soon.
The dead game has risen. Might take a look at Sol and rescue some souls.
Sounds like catching up with all of Frontier’s content releases took a toll on your voice. ❤ o7
I was leaving sol with a load of refugee's in my none AX Python MKI. I got hyperdicted and was immediately attacked and destroyed by a Glaive or Sythe. Buur, you love a good cold you, get well soon.
@@AndyFirebladeMuza I loaded up my heavy and only survived because I have some heavy armor and hull reinforcements. They totally used some kind of hatchbreaker and stole a few passengers though :/
@coreyalexbarker yeah they hit me with two hatch breakers. My python was paper thin and soon got shredded. Won't be going in that again lol.
@@AndyFirebladeMuza I *almost* did my first run in my python since that's what I always did the robigo runs in ages ago. Soon as I got hyperdicted and saw my shields go down in a breath, was glad I had some hull hp on my side :)
So far it's mostly a Ganker Invasion, fun wow....
