To paraphrase Michael Brookes at the first Lavecon:
"Humans won the war with the Thargoids by the skin of their teeth. The Thargoids are wondering what happened to their scouting party........."
Dun dun duuuuunn!
Reminds me of the Freespace 2, where the Shivan fleet from the first game was just an expeditionary force. I really hope they can pull this off!
I can be patient on this one. Maybe in 3-6 months it will start with some reports of strange activity, followed a few weeks later by some inconclusive footage on YouTube. Then we'll see heavily armed pilots trekking to the dangerous regions of space looking for trouble...
.....and bringing a large Fleet to their Aid/rescue..........
......and we still gonna dieeeeeeeee!

It's thanks to that silly naive Alliance that the Thargoid's still pose a threat to law abiding Imperial citizen's galaxy wide! We should gas them with another dose of Mycoid and finish the job!

Thargoid Intel Report
They will be there! I spent 3 years fighting them on my Amstrad CPC 464 30 years ago and since then they have been regrouping in readiness to swarm into the known universe in great strength. Whilst they have a different galactic calendar to us Humanoids, the timing of their invasion into the outer rims, seems to coincide with Gregorian calendar date 16th December. Be afraid, be very afraid!
STOP PRESS : Thargoids are coming and Thargoids will be there on dec 16th. I should know as that is what I have called my ship

according to my contact , Jo (not her real name, her Thargoid name is unpronounceable for humans), they'll try and make it a week on Tuesday, but you know how things are , it's a busy time of year what with Christmas coming etc. So no guarantees, but they'll get around to visiting sometime soon, when things are a little less hectic.
Yeah that'll be the day... December 16th We have a civil war of succession in the Empire, some sort of civil war happening on Sol between the Feds and the hippies, and now you want to throw in a full Thargoid invasion? This is beyond Elite Dangerous it's Elite Total Chaos.
I always said the collapse of GalCoop was a bad thing.

No. At least not yet.
There are no Thargoid ship models in the game at the moment (You can look for yourself, just look in FORC-FDEV-D-1002\Win32\Items\Ships ) so you will not find any in Gamma.
There is however mention of Thargoids in the exe (out of curiosity I ran strings on it and greped), it looks to my inexperienced mind (I'm not decompiling or anything like that and wouldn't know what to do with it even if I was
I fully expect that area's of the galaxy are locked out at the moment where Thargoids will "spawn" once we go live (or sometime afterwards). Keep an eye on the ships folder, if you start seeing Thargoid models in there then they're coming...
Ah come on. I know this is a forum, but trying to find out what the devs are doing is just a massive spoiler - even if you don't find anything this time, you might have done. Please reassure me/us that if you do ever find something, you'll hide it behind appropriate levels of SPOILER ALERT. Then it'll be my fault when I click on it anyway.
