Thargoids?
As compiled above, clips of run-ins with a mysterious alien vessel inElite Dangerousarestarting to come in. For a player base that has long hoped to make contact, this is a big, energizing surprise.
It’s unclear what conditions are needed to experience the unsettling moment in-game (those sound effects are stellar!), when this even became a part ofDangerous, and what lies ahead, but fans have begun speculating in full force. Interestingly, every clip I’ve seen so far has ended peacefully.
For its part, Frontier Developments quickly linked to one of the player-recorded clips onTwitter, noting “A report just coming through that a CMDR has experienced something… strange.”
I’m not sure where we go from here, butElitefans are freaking the eff out and I don’t blame ’em.
