Any ideas? Photon canon did nothing.

looks like an abyssal horror, which iirc you have to aggro by proximity, getting close...maybe? anyways, it'll probably try to kill you, but expose its weakness which looks to be the eye

[Gumsk]

It's called Space Grabby in the files and has a bunch of related files related to being inside it, so I'm guessing getting close won't be fun.

[Lindy Bomber]

Try shooting the eye.

[puckhead]

I treated it exactly as the abyssal horror, nudging my ship into the eye and ripping it with photons, no effect. I am guessing that perhaps it needs a different weapon, OR, only the upcoming new ships will be able to damage it?

[ØĐĐ฿₳ⱠⱠ]

very cool find, either way man

[Gumsk]

It might be like a lot of other pulse events where there's no way to interact with them. The Space Grabby has actions tied to it, though, so I would think it was active. Maybe you're right that it takes a living ship; maybe it doesn't want to eat a metal ship :P

[VIGILANT]

so did anyone come up to how to kill it

At this time it appears it can't be killed. Hopefully this is a place holder for future content.

Oh yes it can be killed... but it really strikes hard back..
Here is another one which cant be killed _

But if you closer it starts a communication with you... If you get in direct contact that hurts your shields :)

pics or it never happened. Always 0 damage, no matter what you hit it with or where you hit it.


For the living ship theory earlier in the thread, wasn't able to do anything to it with a living ship either.

It never turns, only attacking straight ahead, so it was very easy to maneuver to safekt to its side before attacking and test out a bunch of stuff, none of which had any affect on it.

[Musashi]

You r right.. i guess i mixed it up whit a similar thing I destroyed under water. gave me a hypnotic eye

[Fast Johnny]

I think you're supposed to go up to it and press "E' to interact and speak to it....

[Steven]

Is there a use for those hypnotic eyes?

Did you get a message to stop your ship before, or did you find it by chance when flying in the field? Nice finding anyway :)
Same with other exotic stuff in space, I still believe every finding has a sort of puzzle to solve to get some goodies, some of these puzzles are more difficult maybe, so it's worth trying.
