Have you been hyperdicted yet? ?

Yes interdicted a few times. This area apparently is a Thargoid area. So I been wondering around hoping (or not) to bump into them. Only time something weird happened was I saw something 'weird' near a planet and investigated. All my systems went down, and I was drifting in space, then two little ships came and fired at me. My systems came back, I tried to scan the ships but got binary code. My shields were down so I scarpered :) . I landed on the planet later, and drove around  but didn't find anything. Very mysterious :)

Have to be careful in my ship, it has a big jump range for exploring, but is rubbish if you get shot at. May post more screenies of my journey later, if interested

If you haven't been hyperdicted (i.e. by a Thargoid) yet then you're in for a treat. A very cool experience. ? 

 

Here's a Twitch streamer's first encounter: (Spoilers!)

Scouts for a guess. The scouts are aggressive as they're remnants of the old war. If you are disabled that means a larger Thargoid ship was also in the vicinity.

Why is it that after watching that video at least 6 times, I don't have the slightest clue what is going on, if anything?

 

What does the girl think is so cool?

 

What is hyperdiction?

 

Is she seeing a different video to me?

 

Is what is happening on screen anything other than very boring?

 

Not a clue, and totally confused!!!???

Here's an exciting clip of my favourite and only computer game.

 

You might not appreciate it, but I can get quite addicted. ?

I take it you've never been hyperdicted either Steve. ?

Believe it or not, I actually have one of these to control my new mount. Not a clue what to do with it yet.

 

Hope I don't encounter any of these agressive Thargoid scouts when slewing to M45. ?

Stargazer base, makes sense having an asteroid as a base. Bernards loop in the background, I intend to visit it, but it will take weeks I think (real time) , or witch head nebula that's only 3 or 4 days away.
