A player on the Elite Dangerous subreddit has created a custom Thargoid interceptor model called the Chimera using Blender. Though described as rough, the concept includes detailed stats envisioning the Chimera as a formidable foe appearing in high-intensity AX conflict zones and level 9 Non-Human Signal Sources, occasionally as a boss enemy. It features a 7,000 megajoule shield, 3,000 hull points, and a main cannon firing Cyclops-level damage at 7 shots per second with a 10-second firing window before rearming. This community design highlights ongoing player creativity and engagement with Thargoid combat scenarios.
- Chimera appears in high to very high AX conflict zones and threat level 9 NHSS.
- Equipped with strong shields, hull, and a rapid-firing main cannon.
