- Thargoids Exist
- Thargoids haven't been seen for AGES
- Thargoids are mentioned in KR's excellent book as trying to hide their homeworld
- AI is banned throughout human space
- Thargoids "use" AI in KR's excellent book
- Thargoids have been confirmed as being in part of the game at some point
- Alien Tech has been mentioned in Galnet
- AI has been mentioned in Galnet
- There's a mysterious plague on a locked planet that may or may not be related to anything
- DB has confirmed that there are "non stellar objects" out there for us to discover IN ADDITION to the Voyager probes - no direct connection to Thargoids
- MB has suggested we "listen" to whatever it is we find
- Nav beacons morse code their system
- Black boxes morse code something (I think it is to do with returning them)
- There's a reference of "something" being in a certain direction in Drew Wagar's cracking book as well
Initial conclusions/guesses
- DB and MB may be talking about different things
- It could be something utterly Alien and not at all related to Thargoids
- If listening to the Unknown thingy gives the response "SOON" (with or without TM), Michael is going to get either lynched or lauded. Not sure which.
I really like the plague idea - we'd be spreading it ourselves. Imagine if that were true and someone took one to Founders World, or Lave??? That'd shake up the markets.
Could there possibly be an alien faction out of the 20 we will be seeing? If so - could we be on the verge of having "in-game events" in preparation for major patches that introduce things?
Do we see a story we can participate in on the horizon - the proverbial "furniture" for the empty house that DB was talking about during the Kickstarter and testing phases?
Excited much? Almost as much as when I was told there were Generation Ships and Missions in the original Elite (despite never having found any, seen any proof, or in fact there being any at all). Hooray.
