Gibbing (Insta-gib or Instagibbing) is the term referring to the use of overwhelming alpha damage to destroy a Thargoid Interceptor before it can deploy defensive shields. By attacking a Thargoid with sufficient firepower it is possible to reduce the Interceptor’s hull to 0 faster than the health regeneration can heal and before the interceptor can deploy panic shields. Typically, this requires a number of Pilots to all attack the interceptor simultaneously.
It is also possible to Gib a Cyclops by a single commander. This can be done with 4x Large Shard Cannons with synthed Premium Ammo or any equivalent like 6x Modified Medium Shard Cannons with basic ammo as exhibited by the Shard-Conda.
