In the latest update for “Elite Dangerous,” the Sol System, the cradle of humanity, is facing an imminent evacuation due to a Thargoid Titan, named Cigo, heading directly towards it. The situation has escalated as Thargoid vessels swarm into the system, prompting the Pilots Federation to issue evacuation orders for all available independent pilots to assist in the effort. This development marks a significant moment in the ongoing Thargoid invasion storyline, with the Sol System now under direct threat from a determined alien force.
The video also highlights the recent changes and updates within the game, including the introduction of new paint jobs for ships, such as chrome and gold variants, which are set to be available in the Frontier store soon. Additionally, the Type 8 ship has exited its Early Access period and is now available for purchase with in-game credits. The video encourages players to take advantage of current sales on Steam, where Elite Dangerous and its Odyssey expansion are being offered at significant discounts.
The Thargoid Titan Cigo had been stationary for two and a half years but unexpectedly activated its Star Drive, leaving its previous location and heading towards Sol. The Titan’s movement has raised alarms, as it is now traveling at approximately 4,000 times the speed of light, making it a trackable object in the game. Players have been actively engaging in tracking the Titan’s trajectory, with speculation that it may arrive in the Sol System around December 10th to 12th, coinciding with the release of a new game patch.
The video delves into the lore surrounding the Thargoids, suggesting that their actions may not be purely aggressive but could be driven by a specific goal related to something hidden within the Sol System. The Sol System is notable for several reasons, including its status as humanity’s birthplace and the presence of a permit-locked planet, Triton, which has historical significance in the game’s lore. The possibility that the Thargoids are searching for an ancient artifact discovered on Mars adds an intriguing layer to the narrative.
As the situation develops, players are encouraged to participate in evacuation missions and monitor the Thargoid threat level in the Sol System. The video concludes with a call to action for the community to engage with the unfolding events and share their theories about the Thargoid’s intentions and what they may discover in Sol. The anticipation builds as the game’s tenth anniversary approaches, promising exciting developments and potential revelations in the ongoing storyline.
