Thank you for rescuing us, but rules are rules. That will be 5065 credits for multiple counts of firing weapons inside the no fire zone, three counts of reckless flying, and one count of "Because it's Tuesday."
Yeah, at least was still better than the canonn megaship fiering on its defenders when frontier decided to not show that the restricted zones were empty and instead borched the jump into them and dumped hydras on the exploration ship filled vessel. Here the flight control was actively shooting at its defending fleet.
Sometimes the AI is just infuriating. You have this epic battle against a common threat to the damn species...win...and the station cops are still trying to hit you due to...reasons. You'd think the devs would work something into their AI where no matter what happens, if you're fighting the thargoids, YOU'RE ON THE GOOD GUYS SIDE...regardless of any stray shots.
"Yeah, that'll teach those bugs! Give those Xenos another 50cr fine Daniel! Same goes to those dirty no-fire rulebreakers! By GOD, did they just RAM the Thargoid ship while SPEEDING?! THEY'VE GONE TOO FAR NOW!" -Flight Control, in the absence of Station Turret Defense edit: at the end I saw the Police fighter say that it was engaging, I was like "oh hey, they aren't completely useless after all!" then after the goid died I realized he was shooting at the station's saviors. Incredible.
These sorts of events are giving the atmosphere of the game such a cool vibe. Most of us are carrying on about our usual business in human inhabited space, while we hear stories of are true Elite pilots defending our outposts from a species that is seemingly more advanced and powerful than our own. The neat part is that its actually happening. This video is hopefully going to be in the back of everyone's mind while running that courier mission next time.
I love that insight.. These TH-cam videos are like news reels for the grinders working our "day job" delivering units of clothing or mining and trying to earn credits. I'm in a stripped down diamondback scout exploring and doing harmless side missions to make a buck. These guys are in tricked out fighters fighting aliens. A very cool game.
I had to run out of that station when I heard the Thargoid start firing. I had just picked up passengers in my Python and I immediately lost all of them because I got hit by a stray shot. I'm just glad that you guys were there
Meh, those combat mechanics were some of the most lacklustre shit I've seen in a long time. Same for encounter design. The way it moved seemed really weak/implausible, in the sense that it would be way too easy to exploit by simply having 3-6 pilots so that one would always be able to cover its front. I get that there are gameplay related design contraints but flying in a circle around that thing for minutes on end, missing half your shots… Eh. Also, weird that it has the power to stun your ship in more ways than one yet doesn't follow it up with a killing blow at any time.
Gotta love when the first chunk fell off the thargoid ship Had me wondering “do you think that made it mad?” Then it charged up its Zeus cannon and fried your ship like “yep, it’s mad now”
11:14 look at how advanced Thargoid technology is to ours, the Thargoid can distinguish which ships it needs to shut down. For instance, the fighter's ship is shut down yet the station isn't because the Thargoid knows it needs to pay its fines later.
You have to file for it to be striken from your record and to dispute the fine. signed in triplicates and delivered to your nearest sector government office. You may need to make an appointment and waiting times may take as long as 1 month. If no objections are filed within 2 months you will lose the ability to object to the fine. have a nice day... Bureaucracy and all that. :)
The station radio person can clearly see you shooting and constantly warns you, but says nothing about the massive fucking flower right outside their base.
Meanwhile in the station: "Yep, that's a no-fire zone violation" "Sir, shouldn't we be calling for help? That's a THARGOID ship, right next to us!" "Not my job kid, I just give out no-fire zone violations. Oh look, another violation." I like to imagine when stations get attacked, the greatest defence is a parking ticket, just stick it onto the Thargoid.
lol damn im here trying to ship data with the occasional pirate, i play in a way so that the starting station i was on is home and mygame time is traveling out and running missions that are set along the path route before i return home, clearly im behind
the thing i love most is how players in the station weren't aware of a thargoid outside until you pointed out that it took out your shield in mere seconds, then they all scrambled out to join the fight
They didn't see that though, that was a direct message to another player. The people in the station heard the sounds from the fight and were like "wtf is going on out there?"
It would have been better for the devs to code the station AI so it wouldn't fine you in situations like this, I saw a 2MCr bounty awarded afterward. I'm really impressed with the piloting skills of all the pilots involved.
I really enjoyed being in Privateers Alliance. Very knowledgeable but chill people. It slowed down alot and I had to move on to another squad. They kept me as a member and I respect them for that.
Ggoddkkiller ehhh if enough heads up was given, a lot of veteran players would organize and get in position to fight. An anaconda or corvette can be an easy 1v1 against a thargoid so you wouldn’t need a ton of numbers. This actually happened in the past although it happened near the station and the station opened fire on the human pilots and reared havoc on them
Excellent missile attacks (better then most). I believe Frontier needs to add some appropriate remarks from the station, especially when there's a Thargoid just outside the slot. Has anyone been able to use that anti-EMP device effectively? It's a shame there's no way to clear the caustic(?) cloud to get the heart.
That was fucking epic! I wish frontier would fix the station attacking you bc you fired within the no fire zone, hello! Alien creature next to a station yeah we will attack
Player: *Fires weapons at the clearly hostile Thargoid* Station: Fine gained: violating no-fire zone Player: *Decides to use brute force instead and rams the Thargoid* Station: Fine gained: Reckless flying
I already own the game, but I gotta say if I had seen this video before I bought the game, this would've been the reason I bought it. Damn good action.
You guys need to stop shooting these things. If you give them meta alloys they can become allied with you. There is another type of Thargoid out there that we have not yet encountered (except at crash sites). My theory is that the ones we keep killing are running from the other kind. I also think that we want the flower Thargoids on our side, because if previous releases of the Elite franchise are any indication, they will be very aggressive.
Yeah on the wiki it says that one species are using humans as a bullet shield against the other, as during a thargoid civil war, one type got too powerful so the others fled into the human realm and my guess is that meta alloys are useful for their weapons/tech, so they go with you to see if you have more
bro i just bought this game. i have read many reviews saying this game sucks, but boy are they wrong and i am stupid for listening to them. i am really glad i bought it. and you sir are awesome. this fight was epic and fun to watch, thanks a lot
Station flight control: Sir, those commanders are attacking the hostile Thargoid, what should we do? Station Flight Control Captain: *pauses in silence and stares out into the commanders defending the station*..... FINE THEM!
I understand that there might be Thargoids that might not be hostile to us, but we are within our right to defend human space from any potential threat that trespasses. If the Thargoids didn't understand that they are entering our territories, then they must be driven out.
Stations: Look at me! You get fined now Commander! Also Stations: God dammit! Where are the Commanders when we needed them! We're getting swarmed by Interceptors yet still no Commanders!
You're fighting an hostile alien ship just outside an station, you ram the ship and the station puts you a fine from "reckless flying"... Just a normal day in Donar's Oak
Thargoids are pretty endgame but they aren’t as bad now. If you focus on doing nothing but unlocking the stuff needed to kill them it should only take you a month. There’s plenty of guides and tutorials on how to do it
This video explains why the Thargoids are so hostile. At first contact, the first thing they got from us was a fine for false parking.
I'm interested in this game, but what are thargoids? Are they new?
Antrys Damn that’s a lot
Makes me want to rebell as well
@@MARC-555 The Thargoids go way back to 1984 and the original game
its is not the first contact
Really makes you wonder why repair is right above the self destruct option

@@coenogo "Hang on guys, my shields are damaged. Let me reverse-self-destruct us."
HaV1nGI5sueS Exactly! :D
Because that's how it is in the movies.
Bad user experience?
Flight control are the type of people to fine you for shooting Thargoids in the no fire zone
Jacob Nugent they take their jobs *Very* seriously.
and running into one
Those jack offs..... LOL
I bet they fined the Thargoids too
Plus reckless flying. There are rules, man. Can't just ignore them just because of an alien attack.
It's funny how the station is basically taxing you to attack the thargoid
Thank you for rescuing us, but rules are rules. That will be 5065 credits for multiple counts of firing weapons inside the no fire zone, three counts of reckless flying, and one count of "Because it's Tuesday."
@@Dakarn I mean for players at their level that's literally nothing it be like taxing a millionaire 5000

@@soundcloudpandapandawa2997 That's nothing for anyone. That amount of money equals to 1 low paying mission.
Lol
7:34 You got fined for knocking into the Thargoid ship, defending a station. Bureaucracy.
"Where are the avengers now? They should be the ones paying to clean this mess up" It's like poetry, it rhymes - George Lucas.
Hey man, the government needs its income.
The only solace to any of this is that the station probably fined the Thargoid twice as often.
Sometimes the AI is just infuriating. You have this epic battle against a common threat to the damn species...win...and the station cops are still trying to hit you due to...reasons.

Rules are rules. Even in war time. We aren't savages.
@@mattstorm360 I mean, things happen in war. Like someone missing and hitting a buddies shield lol No reason to get shredded over some bs like that.
@@atlaskor8130 If that happens, they need to file the paperwork and pay the friendly fire fees.

Jesus that was smooth
Repairs and then heads out and immediately rams the thargoid lol.
Dude was in 'n out like burger. I've never seen something like that.
just wonder how many hours need to spend on the game to get that skill..up untill now i still depending on auto docking..
@@asyrafyusof9285 - Learning to dock yourself is very valuable in that it gives you an extra optional internal slot. Same goes for supercruise assist.

Ungrateful station......
tdognschooch they'll get rightfully destroyed
The Thargoid was getting ready to request docking when he opened up....silly brute commander! :P
LMAO at you getting fines for careless flying = ramming the Thargoid and fines for violation of the no fire zone = shooting at the Thargoid :D
Those unappreciative bastards dare putting fines on these Saviour of the Galaxy. Game is too broken to play xd
They jump at any chance to take your money smh

Be on the lookout for pirates after tasty cargo...

The station: this is a no fire zone >:(
And when they ram it they get a reckless flying ticket

@@Lunam_D._Roger It helps if you got a good HOTAS setup and have a little practice, i could pull this after my first day in Elite with a XP 52Pro
Do you mean when he docked in the station or when he docked with the thargoid?
yeah frontier needs to patch out that bullshit behaviour of the station and their defence force during a thargoid attack.
Man that is one ungrateful station. Maybe that was a friendly Thargoid and all it wanted to do was trade until you all ganged up on it and killed it.

You can apparently clear it by overheating your ship. It burns it off.

Loving the station flight controllers completely ignoring the Thargoid threat and dishing out fines for firing weapons.
By far the most interesting space battle I’ve ever seen in this game
Wow your landing ...
Autopilot landing is a total slowpoke compared to that
Weirdo that was pure, 110% skill!
That’s a legit combat landing if I’ve ever seen one. Also who the hell uses auto-dock lmao
Not gonna risk crashing my Type-9 with 3.000.000 worth of cargo xD
How good do you need to be to go thargoid bashing - Sees landing. Ah. That good.
Damn, I had more fun watching that than the new Star Wars movie. Great job guys
Meanwhile...WHILE YOUR SAVING THAT STATION!! You were getting Fines by a blind Flight control Operator
That was such a great sounding and looking dogfight.
“Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist.”
I already own the game, but I gotta say if I had seen this video before I bought the game, this would've been the reason I bought it. Damn good action.
I love the sound the missiles make when they hit, such a resounding BOOM, it's sound design at its finest
Awesome video! I wouldn't have thought thargoids would be so agile
Did you get fined for firing near a station?! Unbelievable. You were saving their asses! Lol
Even in space:
"Have you tried turning it off and back on again?"
Like how the station just disrespects you like that
So this was at one of the stations that got destroyed.... this is why we don’t try to fight these things.
I never knew elite dangerous could ever get this intense!
This game is getting hectic haha, love it
that torpedo drop-in was badass
You guys need to stop shooting these things. If you give them meta alloys they can become allied with you. There is another type of Thargoid out there that we have not yet encountered (except at crash sites). My theory is that the ones we keep killing are running from the other kind. I also think that we want the flower Thargoids on our side, because if previous releases of the Elite franchise are any indication, they will be very aggressive.
Yeah on the wiki it says that one species are using humans as a bullet shield against the other, as during a thargoid civil war, one type got too powerful so the others fled into the human realm and my guess is that meta alloys are useful for their weapons/tech, so they go with you to see if you have more
if they dont attack us then what the reason for attacking them in the first place?
Because it's fun
Matthias G. Kajtár exactly, I fucking love fighting these things
ya know we human right, Peace is not option
famous thargoid ship design, incl. their arsenal, looks absolutely superb :)
This was terrific! Makes me want to get back into this game. But then I lay down till the feeling goes away.
OK, I just watched this again. Still a great video, and I did get back into the game because of this video.
Wow 11:14 is kind of terrifying. The whole system just shuts down and you are floating in the dark with that thing out there with all the crossfire.
bro i just bought this game. i have read many reviews saying this game sucks, but boy are they wrong and i am stupid for listening to them. i am really glad i bought it. and you sir are awesome. this fight was epic and fun to watch, thanks a lot

Station : I sleep
Players defending the station against Thargoids
Station : REAL SHIT ????
Flight Control: Please help us! Thargoid attack!!
Also Flight Control: How dare you fire your weapons at that Thargoid! $50 fine!
After saving the station from the Thargoids, they rewarded their heroes by giving them fines and opening fire on them.
The legal system in this game is so fucking dumb. I mean you beat up a freaking alien destroyer and the station punishes you
I understand that there might be Thargoids that might not be hostile to us, but we are within our right to defend human space from any potential threat that trespasses. If the Thargoids didn't understand that they are entering our territories, then they must be driven out.
you sound like hitler lol

I love that station "you got a fine for firing in no firing zone" There is a damn Thargoid outside of the station! XD
Fine: violated no fire fire zone
Me: Okay, I'll just not help you, don't come crying to me when your station explodes
They did a great job simulating the federal government in this game. Fines and fines and fines and warnings even though you are saving their lives.
Bruh the Thargoid was at 100% for most of this
What a tank
It's because it can't actually take damage unless you destroy the glowing parts on it i believe
When you get a fine for crashing into the hostile alien space ship
Having just started playing this looks so overwhelming. Will I ever get to this level? This looks insane. Nice video my guy.
Thargoids are pretty endgame but they aren’t as bad now. If you focus on doing nothing but unlocking the stuff needed to kill them it should only take you a month. There’s plenty of guides and tutorials on how to do it
