The Thargoids need not be evil. They just are alien. Completely different in a Stanislaw Lem sense. They crush us like flies. Should we do the same in turn? That is a good question, but I don't think FD asks it. We crush Thargoids to survive. it's a good cause. It's the only cause. There is no alternative coded into the game. This alternative is just as alien to FD as we are to Thargoids.
What if we got something to do with the Thargoids that wasn't just killing them?
- Thread starter Firehawk894
- Start date
Maybe the Thargoids will be a faction in PP2?
By that definition the Stars in systems could be impeding you as they stop you from travelling in a straight line sometimes and stop your travel. Just because the Thargoids pull you over doesn't mean it's hostile, if they pulled you over then killed you that would be different.
So moving civilians out of a warzone, and keeping them alive is aggressive I do believe that a humanitarian act
As for the 40K stealers they are vangards to Tyranids which is a MUCH worse thing than Thargoids at present
But only in human law, which, despite our beleiving so, isn't actually universal...
Strangely enough us humans here on planet earth seem to have problems agreeing on what war crimes are, and let's not mention persecuting them.
Seems hard to believe that aliens would know and follow our law in such things..

Elite Dangerous’s galaxy is capitalism on steroids. Everything anti-Thargoid, researching them, killing them, evacuating the wounded - generates monetary gain. Thats why there’s no chance of peace with them. The Thargoids missed a trick here. If they’d offer to pay more than the human factions do they’d win.
Offer beads & shiny things and the PF would party with them without a 2nd glance toward the bubble... (particularly shiny things...)
Can't speak for anyone else, but I know I'd turn my tail to the Bubble and sign up with the Thargs the moment they offer self-repairing armor and their version of FSD that allows free-roaming in hyperspace and jumping into any point in the realspace
Like a magpie I'm really easily distracted by shiny, glittering things
You are not alone...Like a magpie I'm really easily distracted by shiny, glittering things
Could be!Maybe the Thargoids will be a faction in PP2?
Abduction which was provoked by...?
Maybe those twice attempted genocides and humanity attacking Thargoids unprovoked at every possible instance soured their opinion of us slightly
"We crush thargoids to survive"
Ah yes, "survival" where you actively go out of your way to pick a fight with the only other discovered sentient species in the galaxy, who are much more advanced than us and could actually decimate humanity with ease if it wasn't for the plot armour of humanity protecting us
I am talking about how PBR lighting behaves because it is something i know from space engineers and as someone else said, that is enough off topic. xD
Well, that would be interesting; some still do non-hostile hyperdictions outside the bubble so it is unknown if they are another group.
(i haven't researched their marking recently)
In any case the fact that taranis still has control systems makes me think it's not completely over in that area.

I don’t quite think it is either, but we’ll have to see how much humans get slapped in the face (figuratively) once we get to investigate the remains in the cloud.
To me, it speaks for itself that despite the claim from the Pilot’s Federation(definitely a trustworthy source that should not be questioned at all), the Thargoids have not actually abandoned Taranis’ system yet, when they wouldn’t need over a week to do so.
(Not willing to make any statements to the continued presence of anti-Guardian field. At least not until the coming Thursday, but… well, without an active Titan to generate it, I’d have expected it to stop functioning pretty quickly. Instead, it only is disabled or no longer causes distortions once you’re getting close to the Titan’s location.)
Survival is only a concern for the plebs who aren't rich enough to just avoid the consequences. So not really a priority for the true elites.

Almost can't wait to see what will happen with the spire site after tomorrow.
As to the OP having the pleiades back to their former peaceful selves could imo be nice as it is a very beautiful location otherwise with much to see and discover.
-the events leading to such a state could be something along the lines of the thargoids there becoming invincible and then evicting all the aggressive factions. XD
You have unlocked the Disk of Pleasure. Tho, I believe you are already mind-controlled. The Thargoids want you to make nonstop snusnu to them.
