}}The '''Thargoid Hunter''' is a medium combat [[Ships|ship]] of the [[Thargoid|Thargoids]]. It first appeared during the Thargoids' advance into the [[Core Systems|Bubble]] during the [[Second Thargoid War]]. Only 2 variants are identified: the Glaive and the Scythe.
==Overview==
Line 72:
The Scythe variant is equipped with vessels similar to human [[Limpet Controller|limpets]] in function. The Scythe uses Breach Drones against unshielded human ships with Escape Pods onboard, forcing it to jettison cargo. Unlike [[Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller|Hatch Breaker Limpets]], Breach Drones are also capable of attacking onboard [[Passenger Cabin|Passenger Cabins]], forcing the passengers inside to eject using [[Occupied Escape Pod|escape pods]]. The Scythe will then pick up the pods by using Collection Drones, which behave much like [[Collector Limpet Controller|Collector Limpets]].

The Hunter is a relatively weak vessel, with [[AX Multi-cannon|enhanced AX Multi-cannons]] being sufficient to take one down. However, the Hunter will immediately start with its shield up, and will regenerate it rapidly when using lightning
An [[Electronic Countermeasure]] can break the lock of the Hunter's FSD-rebooting missile, and can also destroy any Breach or Collection Drones used by a Scythe.
Line 84:
If a Scythe brings down a ship's shields, it will periodically send out Breach Drones to jettison any passengers onboard. Breach Drones can be destroyed using Point Defence Turrets or Electronic Countermeasures, but these need energy from the ship's Systems (SYS) capacitor, which may be drained from recharging shields. Deactivating the Shield Generator will free up the SYS capacitor for utilities.
In the outer cloud of a Thargoid Maelstrom, skillful maneuvering around the Caustic Seed Mines can lure a Hunter into flying into one, which can instantly destroy (or seriously damage) an unshielded Hunter. A fast ship is recommended for this tactic in order to dodge taking damage as well.▼
Multi-cannons are recommended over [[AX Missile Rack|AX Missiles]] due to the Hunter's immense speed making acquiring missile lock extremely difficult.

*Files datamined from the ''[[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey]]'' alpha mention a vehicle by the name of the Glaive. This was thought to be a new Thargoid vessel until Update 15 where it was confirmed to exist.
