I am too. I'm going to the green corner.
Unidentified Spacecraft "S6: 7".

Scared - you wait till you are all alone facing a Thargoid mother ship...
^^ Oooh, this! And it's looking for those responsible for heartlessly blasting chunks off of its mother. All you let's-harvest-stuff-off-of-something-we-know-nothing-about-for-a-quick-buck, er, people better watch your backs!
It's the Space Alien PETA
And yet still I was thinking exactly the same...That's some top level tin foil hattery there
New scanner incoming?
Or a firmware update is enough?
I'm thinking this could be an AI checking out what's going on with the UAs/Barnacles, since the UAs have a habit of eating nearby metals, and AIs kinda need those to survive (since if a nearby UA starts eating the AI's computer components, it will "die"). It would make sense that an AI controlled ship would be able to do things that a regular ship couldn't as well, since there's no human on board to get splattered by the excessive forces...possibly the acceleration safeties have been disabled or lowered to just hull/frame damage.
Well now that "anyone" can be a Thargoid, maybe people will stop suspecting me.
Donald Sutherland is pointing at me! Run!

Well that Mullet of your was a dead givaway.
if it is aliens, perhaps they need Pro Palin to work something out with the meta-alloy. They couldn't exactly ask for help could they, you know with all the itchy trigger fingers an all.
Had to wait for the Alloy CG to be over so the gankers outside Obsidian Orbital didn't attack them.
Wait a minute Server down then day later someone sees a possible alien ship? Before server down then Barnacles appeared. I smell something fishy and it isnt the cockpit cat thread

To be fair with FD, IIRC, they never said the aliens were part of season 2. Michael just said that the UA story arc would be developped further. Aliens might be still far away.
I don't think people are against "small iterative steps" though. I suspect a lot of people assume FD will always go for the worst option (in this case : no original artwork for the aliens). Now, perhaps the real question is : why do they think that ?

Why do who think that, the "a lot of people"? I couldn't possibly answer that how I wanted to
But if this does turn out to be aliens (which I still don't think it will) and it is the Thargoids, then as was mentioned by someone earlier, the forums will go into meltdown if they don't look how they expect on first contact.
This Galnet post is bizarre because the way it's written it just seems like completely trivial non-news. A well-known ship flew near a station, but didn't decide to dock, scanned, and left... and it warrants a Galnet post? Whaa? The only possibly interesting thing is the "high speed pass". And apparently the name is unusual, despite an incredible variety of names in this game, meaning it's just another name, I don't know.
It keeps contradicting itself, it makes no sense. It's an unidentified spacecraft, and yet it's just a DBE. It was a close-quarters encounter, and yet it was 10km away. This is so weirdly (poorly) written.
It'll take you a couple minutes, it's not that far. Consider taking a Diamondback Explorer
Just make sure you don't go 10km from a station and then leave, you'll get way too much Galnet attention.
Have u tried to scan a station already ?
Is it possible an UA and an AI have merged ? (Think Star Trek - Vega)
