There are aliens in Elite Dangerous called Thargoids, and we are currently in the Second War with them. From the beginning of the game, Thargoid sensors and probes have been found in a bubble around Pleiades nebula, scanning the passing ships. About 6 years ago, players discovered many wrecked Thargoid motherships called Titans, in and around the Pleiades - remnants of the First Thargoid War. And now we have working Titans after years of waiting.
@@ALEX_VII nice, maybe I should give another try to the game. I tested the game some times ago and I abandonned because I couldn't finish the tutorial : I was frustrated because the VR controls were insanely hard to handle.
@@Mr_Sim The first thing you should do in Elite (and any video game in general) is to change the controls for yourself. The ships, ground vehicles and FPS have a lot of functions you can bind for better experience in this game (binds for one mode do not generally affect two others, so buttons can be reused). So many, that my entire keyboard is used, including 18 G-keys and 2 side buttons on the mouse. And because of that I only play in VR during exploration - not a lot of buttons on HOTAS. Another thing I would advice, is to disable side panels turning on when looked at - it can be usefull in VR, but you also start controlling menus in them instead of the ship, when it happens. Lastly, the game is not user friendly at all when it comes to information on stations and ships. Third party tools (like INARA.cz or coriolis.io) are an essential part of the game and it's mostly unplayable without them.
I vote he tries the same with a thargoid probe, sensor and link in his cargo :D Maybe it's a thing? For the heck of it, try rolling in there with tissue samples too. Anything that makes them think you're one of them.
@@Keloot dude i played form day one. doing Robigo runs for a full day to get a ton of money is absolutely grind. and thats something thta was patched a while ago there is so much grind in this game
The whole Thargoid titan slowly appearing before our eyes admist a yellowish cloud and asteroids around gave me intense Cylon colony vibes, except when coming up to one is near enough suicide while the other is semi passive but by no means friendly
You can look this up but there was a deleted scene from ID that said that all computer technology was developed from that ship they had from the last time the aliens visited, which was why Goldblum could write a virus that was compatible with the mothership. Why they deleted that pivotal 30 second scene is beyond me.
@@fatfreddyscoat7564 Yeah, but from a sci-fi nerd perspective; that scene was removed, so it's not cannon. From a computer nerd perspective; I could pick this apart all day, and I even did when I was studying IT in the late 90s, from the fact that the aliens having spent years researching our technology, to the fact that human technology is heavily influenced by human intellect and physiology, ie the base 10 system existing purely because we have 10 fingers, it was not at all an optimal number to use! Alien technology could be similarly influenced, which would make reverse engineering it extremely difficult because of the lack of frame of reference. Or worse, their systems may have been designed and written and controlled by AI - which would be impossible to reverse engineer, without the help of an AI. Also the aliens have possibly millions of years of experience in every aspect of warfare against species they deem alien, including cyberwarfare as they started by hacking earth's satellites. So they have actual battlefield experience, hacking the systems of aliens! The reason why human technology is hackable by humans is that technology is standardised and documented and the people who write it are all educated the same way, because systems are supposed to be used by other people. Things like protocols, ports, APIs etc are designed so that other people can legitimately exploit systems, to make the system useful for their purposes, which in turn inadvertently leaves exploitable vulnerabilities open for systems to be accessed illegitimately by hackers. A 600 Km long, spacefaring, alien mothership staging an invasion of a technological species, where they are completely aware of our current intelligence and technological level, is going to have protocols in place to defend the system - as a general operational level ruleset - containing parallel systems, ringfences, firewalls, air-gapped systems for redundancy, encryption, and likely an AI, or several AI monitoring the whole thing, using hardware with speeds we couldn't currently comprehend, because they're likely not constrained by silicon. Also, there should be no means to inject your code, any data transferred between the craft and the mothership shouldn't be able to leave the system that controls the docking system and enter any systems that controls the mothership's security, and assuming you could somehow pull this off with your natty Mac OS8 the ship's security systems should be capable of closing it down so fast that your commands don't even reach the systems you are trying to exploit before the system intercepts them. Even the human-built space shuttle had 5 AP-101 computers computers on board, four would run avionics calculations in parallel, if one produced a calculation that was different from the other three, that computer's calculation was disregarded and the majority calculation was used. This is because in space silicon chips can be struck with high energy particles that that can skew computational results. So humans, knowing this could happen. built a defense for this. Decades ago. Because we estimated this was a possible point of failure. The notion that a vastly technologically superior species, that frankly makes enemies everywhere it travels, would overlook the possibility of being hacked is leagues beyond absurd. Urgh, I've just realised how much I've written. Oh well, enjoy, or TL:DR, your choice.
My heart was racing and I was panicking for half of the time. And expecting to finally see a working Thargoid Mothersip, after years of Xeno research, was not helping.
That is one massive lad. I hope we'll have to take it on, on two fronts. A group of players inside to fight Thargoids (if they actually add actual Goids on foot instead of just the Revenants), and a group of players outside to deal with something else
When he parked in that cave like area, i was thinking it would have been cool if you could exit / walk in and see a city of sorts of alien like beings. Thinking like when they flew into the mother ship in Independence Day movie.
Looks incredible and very atmospheric. Now I suppose we need to wait for Aegis or some other NPC faction to research and develop a weapon to destroy them and then a CG so players can supply the required materials for said weapon in order for it to be built. I am the other side of Sag A so I am happy for vids like this. o7
My god this is so cool! The sounds and visuals are just insain on this! This game and the Devs get so much stick but you have to give credit where due....this is amazing it gave me goosebumps just watching! Can't imagine what it would look like in my vr headset reverb g2 !
I wanna see what happens when we put a thargoid probe or something near where we normally enter the hive ships. See if it open up and we’re able to go deeper. Or see if we can find a way to go where ever that golden yellow portal is.
Pretty cool! I came for the spoilers. I’m a 5 year old retired AX vet living out in Colonia now, so I will never see one of these in person haha. Very neat though. You Bubble dwellers get all the content. …And now? Let us take a moment of silence, to recognize the life our brave CMDR gave, to bring us this knowledge first. WITNESS HIM! He is now in Valhalla, fighting the greatest AX warriors of past days. Including Jameson himself.
@@joedollarbiden9823 I promised myself that with as long as I have spent in the bubble, playing Elite (late 2014), I would at least dedicate half that amount of time in Colonia, now that engineers and tech brokers are there. Mostly I’m exploring anymore and my carrier is out in Odin’s Hold and all my retired AX craft are at Jacques, waiting for their eventual dismantling/ re-rolling and parting out lol. Including my recent modified Shard Cannons and Modified PC’s and modified Gauss haha. Too bad there isn’t an in-game auction. I’d be willing to let all the builds go, as is, engineered, for a killer price LOL.
@@kessilrun6754 Unfortunately I don't think there will be much for you to do in Colonia. It's just too small with very little in the way of resources on what to do.
It's actually really massive - flying at 700 m\s around sometimes gives a wrong impression of scale. For example, one boost is enough to fly the length of a Fleet Carrier, and the Titan need multiple. It's at least 20km long.
most people forget that the sidewinder, one of the smallest craft in the game is the size of a 2 storey house. non of the ships in elite are small, if you think, the original SRV is the size of a Dodge Ram with a cargobox fitting, and the sidey can fit 2 in it
the last thing looks like a caustic-energy barrier, mabye we have to destroy all turrets or other module on the ships outside similar to the heat relays on human capital ships in order to make the field drop and get inside
Wow!!! There is no mistaking what this is. So the question is; are the ones on planetary surfaces old ones that have died…or new ones that are being grown (I think the second one is more likely.
The crashed ones are casualties of our first war with them, you can still see traces of the Mycoid virus on them that CMDR Jameson used to wipe them out several hundred years ago.
i gotta get my T10 in there and do some mining... if thats even possible??? those glowing lights in the tunnel, what material is that i wonder? thanks for the awesome video! this is very cool

Anyone know if these could be the planetary bases we have previously seen? They look incredibly similar, shame consoles can't interact with this stuff, looks so cool
If I am not mistaken, FDev verified what many have suspected before. The Thargoid Surface sites are crash landed Titans. Likely from the first Thargoid war and the release of the bioweapon against them.
Thanks for this video. It's the only way I'll ever see what's there. By the way, don't try to dock without authorisation! Even our stations will shoot your ass out of the sky for that. LOL
My friend begged me to come back and help him since hes a new player. He even got me to transfer my account to PC, drastically improving my gaming experience. After a few weeks of catching up on everything elite i learned about this. I thrn say "Wanna do something stupid today?" He obliged me. "I then said ill most likely die and its terrifying. He joins my ship and we set out. Hes never seen a Thargoid let alone know what they are. He didnt even know they were a part of the game. So i fount the nearest titan, flew my corvette and went in. I never reached the Titan. After fighting off interdiction after interdiction i reached it and the second pulse killed me. Half the time he was screaming. It was epic. 😂😂😂😂😂
i like Elite alot but i wish there where also some cool ground combat stuff with thargoids. Like in dark caves or in crashed ships. There is so mutch potenzial to do more. i hope we see alot more and the expand elite further
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there are only 2-3 years of updates left for Elite. The devs are just finishing and releasing content what was in develepment (active or otherwise) for years now. And this is one of the last few big updates. There were plans for FPS combat with Thargoids (the big insectoids), but we got reskinned Thargoid drones instead.
@@ALEX_VII personally i sptopped playing before odyssey was launched and im kinda glad i moved on. my pc never wouldve been able to run it. but im sad cause i played religiously for years but the game has lost me so much grind. so much wasted potential. no new ship released in years
6 years later….you fly around Thargoid mother ships. 6 more years, you might be able to actually go in one. But that would get boring according to Arthur.
''Oh, that thing's a lot smaller than i anticipated.'' **Switches to external camera** ''Holy Mother of God, you crazy motherfucker get the hell out of there!!!''
ok, this proves something i have thought for years, the various "oddities" especially the thargoid heart like structures at lagrange points are more than likely how the thargoid ships are engineered and grown, especially with this having its own lagrange point type phenomenon, also shows all the structures are either these things that crashed, or that are going through a spiderlike growing and shedding phase. when thargoids first landed and the first discoveries of planetary sites and the slowly released upgrade varients i came up with a theory that each varient is just the evolution of the previous variant, Scouts crash land and seed the ground for the Barnacles (missing white ball thing on crashed scouts) they slowly grow underground and burst forth, the minerals extracted being used in later processes, each season thargoids come and go, giving them energy and taking thier refuse, like parent birds at a nest, each season they grow more clusters, some will be fed hearts from lagrange points and become the various interceptors dependant on how many hearts (also dependent on thier genetic origin point, the 2 thargoid species mentioned in lore) others will continue to grow in size and complexity, eventually emerging as a thargoid structure, with its own drones attending its needs and removing outgrown carapace. This idea also gave a reason of the thargoids nomadic nature, more as a way to visit each nursery at each feeding and birthing cycle, and in this, non of the aggression was ever an attack, it was possibly just insectlike drone activity trying to clean away refuse from and the feeding of thier larval forms.
If I'm ever asked what Elite gets right that Star Citizen gets wrong, in terms of lore, the answer is always aliens. SC aliens are very... Start Trekky if that makes sense. And yes, also not actually in the game yet but that isn't the point. The Thargoids seem genuinely enigmatic and alien in their motivations, planning and how they execute whatever plan they have. They're kept mysterious and if you don't specifically set your ship up for anti-xeno ops, you'll basically be helpless against them. It makes Thargoids interesting and threatening. Terrifying, even. What a shame such amazing concepts are wasted on a game that feels like it's been slowly dying for about 3 years now.
It would actually be 100-200 hours (if you know what to do), but this is essentially the "Final Boss" so I'd say it's reasonable to be a hard to get to point. (Not saying the grind to get here is reasonable, just the "hard to get to" idea.)
Push for the boundary when it's still yellow (i.e. close to the entering Thargoid), when you attempted here the boundary was already "cooling" - watch closely when you attempt it, the boundary was black (or inert). But I agree with other posters - try with thargoid artifacts aboard to see if that helps. Good luck CMDR o7.
When the portal is open (yellow) it has a "force field" that pushes you away. I tried getting in with a Thargoid Link in hold, but it didn't work: ua-cam.com/video/FI_O__nBKF4/v-deo.html Other pilots report none of the Thargoid items worked so far.
They most likly will not, because Frontier lost a LOT of the developers and the new hires nedeed a whole year to implement basic optimization for PC. And considering FDev is now killing off the games they released as publishers, their finances also not going to let them expand the development to other platforms again.
To be fair, I was lucky to not be pulled over by Thargoids every 10 seconds, but I get you. Also, I set the UA-cam to cut the first 1.50 - should be done processing soon.
I don't know this game.
Can someone explain me a little ? Why everyone in the comments are so happy to see him going in this sort of storm ?

Anyone know if these could be the planetary bases we have previously seen? They look incredibly similar, shame consoles can't interact with this stuff, looks so cool
If I am not mistaken, FDev verified what many have suspected before. The Thargoid Surface sites are crash landed Titans. Likely from the first Thargoid war and the release of the bioweapon against them.
Thanks for this video. It's the only way I'll ever see what's there. By the way, don't try to dock without authorisation! Even our stations will shoot your ass out of the sky for that. LOL
Reminds me of a scene from the book Blindsight by Peter Watts
My friend begged me to come back and help him since hes a new player. He even got me to transfer my account to PC, drastically improving my gaming experience. After a few weeks of catching up on everything elite i learned about this. I thrn say "Wanna do something stupid today?" He obliged me. "I then said ill most likely die and its terrifying. He joins my ship and we set out. Hes never seen a Thargoid let alone know what they are. He didnt even know they were a part of the game. So i fount the nearest titan, flew my corvette and went in. I never reached the Titan. After fighting off interdiction after interdiction i reached it and the second pulse killed me. Half the time he was screaming. It was epic. 😂😂😂😂😂
first thing: insanely awesome footage
second thing: i like that purple hud color
third thing: this game gives me the hebegebes so bad!
Daaaang bro, daredevil flight! GG
I tried getting close to Indra just yesterday. It blew my MkII away like it was a child's toy.
Just WOW ! That must have been a ride....
you mad lad o7
I made the attempt with Maelstrom Raijin. Less CMDRs over there and less lag. Got in twice.
Tough little ship!
i like Elite alot but i wish there where also some cool ground combat stuff with thargoids. Like in dark caves or in crashed ships. There is so mutch potenzial to do more. i hope we see alot more and the expand elite further
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there are only 2-3 years of updates left for Elite. The devs are just finishing and releasing content what was in develepment (active or otherwise) for years now. And this is one of the last few big updates.
There were plans for FPS combat with Thargoids (the big insectoids), but we got reskinned Thargoid drones instead.
@@ALEX_VII personally i sptopped playing before odyssey was launched and im kinda glad i moved on. my pc never wouldve been able to run it. but im sad cause i played religiously for years but the game has lost me so much grind. so much wasted potential. no new ship released in years
the mothership, mi god

8:14 Docking permission DENIED!
Badass, shame all this content is literal 4 years too late.
I wonder how much this was inspired by Outer Wilds.
Absolute madlad o7
I bet it looks pretty cool in VR .
It does: ua-cam.com/video/yCzGaVfINgc/v-deo.html
6 years later….you fly around Thargoid mother ships. 6 more years, you might be able to actually go in one. But that would get boring according to Arthur.
reminds me the first Star Trek motion picture. o7
''Oh, that thing's a lot smaller than i anticipated.''
**Switches to external camera**
''Holy Mother of God, you crazy motherfucker get the hell out of there!!!''
ok, this proves something i have thought for years, the various "oddities" especially the thargoid heart like structures at lagrange points are more than likely how the thargoid ships are engineered and grown, especially with this having its own lagrange point type phenomenon, also shows all the structures are either these things that crashed, or that are going through a spiderlike growing and shedding phase.
when thargoids first landed and the first discoveries of planetary sites and the slowly released upgrade varients i came up with a theory that each varient is just the evolution of the previous variant, Scouts crash land and seed the ground for the Barnacles (missing white ball thing on crashed scouts) they slowly grow underground and burst forth, the minerals extracted being used in later processes, each season thargoids come and go, giving them energy and taking thier refuse, like parent birds at a nest, each season they grow more clusters, some will be fed hearts from lagrange points and become the various interceptors dependant on how many hearts (also dependent on thier genetic origin point, the 2 thargoid species mentioned in lore) others will continue to grow in size and complexity, eventually emerging as a thargoid structure, with its own drones attending its needs and removing outgrown carapace.
This idea also gave a reason of the thargoids nomadic nature, more as a way to visit each nursery at each feeding and birthing cycle, and in this, non of the aggression was ever an attack, it was possibly just insectlike drone activity trying to clean away refuse from and the feeding of thier larval forms.
No offence, but man, I haven't read a tinfoil-hat theory like this since the Great Canonn threads. )
WHAT THE FU-
If I'm ever asked what Elite gets right that Star Citizen gets wrong, in terms of lore, the answer is always aliens.
SC aliens are very... Start Trekky if that makes sense. And yes, also not actually in the game yet but that isn't the point.
The Thargoids seem genuinely enigmatic and alien in their motivations, planning and how they execute whatever plan they have. They're kept mysterious and if you don't specifically set your ship up for anti-xeno ops, you'll basically be helpless against them. It makes Thargoids interesting and threatening. Terrifying, even.
What a shame such amazing concepts are wasted on a game that feels like it's been slowly dying for about 3 years now.
Ok guys... Let the Frontiers cook.
Just thought I'd mention-I THINK WE HAVE THE EXACT SAME HUD COLORS
10:08 I think it’s feeding the mothership meta alloys
O7 my friend
Just me or does everyone want them to let us in the horsehead nebula
Sweet HUD colors! What’s your setup?
Red: 0.75, 0, 2
Green: 0, 2, 0
Blue: 0, 0, 2
I'm still coping, seething, AND malding that the Xbox version isn't getting updates anymore.
Same, I feel ripped of as well, started playing shortly before they pulled the plug
you are legend o7
If it bleeds we can kill it....
This game would be so good, if I didn't have to invest 1k hours of my life to get to this point.
It would actually be 100-200 hours (if you know what to do), but this is essentially the "Final Boss" so I'd say it's reasonable to be a hard to get to point.
(Not saying the grind to get here is reasonable, just the "hard to get to" idea.)
How much Capacitor does the Pulse Neutralizer use? :D need to know for my ship build ^^
Not sure. It says "active power draw" is 0.33MW. My build has 14.7MJ max and 1.1MW recharge in SYS.
*F* For the fallen CMDR o7
Well, there was an attempt.
Heeey, noice! 🙂
wow, so big
Push for the boundary when it's still yellow (i.e. close to the entering Thargoid), when you attempted here the boundary was already "cooling" - watch closely when you attempt it, the boundary was black (or inert). But I agree with other posters - try with thargoid artifacts aboard to see if that helps. Good luck CMDR o7.
When the portal is open (yellow) it has a "force field" that pushes you away. I tried getting in with a Thargoid Link in hold, but it didn't work: ua-cam.com/video/FI_O__nBKF4/v-deo.html
Other pilots report none of the Thargoid items worked so far.
So instead of one mother ship they brought 3 this time
I dont even know what im watching.
Very epic, would be great if they started to work on the xbox version again so that i can enjoy that too xd
They most likly will not, because Frontier lost a LOT of the developers and the new hires nedeed a whole year to implement basic optimization for PC. And considering FDev is now killing off the games they released as publishers, their finances also not going to let them expand the development to other platforms again.
one can only imagine how bad it must smell in there
o7 CMDR!
Annnnd there it is CMDRs.
o7!
What is a thargoid? Are the thargoids the ships or do the ships have pilots?
So tell me.... how's it feel walking around with two Type-10s hanging between your legs?
Starts with 110 seconds of eventless warp travel, reminds me why I don’t play it 😂
Remind us why do we care?
To be fair, I was lucky to not be pulled over by Thargoids every 10 seconds, but I get you. Also, I set the UA-cam to cut the first 1.50 - should be done processing soon.
6:30
