Quite a few people have made that joke/assumption and many have seen it, I think people get the picture by now :p

Most people are focused on the Cobra anyway from what it seems, the only reason people are heading to Cail now is for something to do at 10:00 until everyone goes to Apademak at 21:00 :)

Unless being in Cail gives us secret details that Apademak is a Federal distraction to throw us off the scent :p
 
Is there an explanation as to how this sort of messages/hint delivery method could make sense? It can't be coming from thargoids. And if it's coming from humans, the fact that they know so much should be reason for us to not care about or fear the thargoids because these humans know so much that thargoids are something like their pets/slaves/toys.

Or, the only other alternative i see for creating such a silly hint trail is that some humans have figured something out but are not willing to share the info publicly due to the nature of said info - for example it could allow certain warring groups to easily destroy all thargoids - so they wish to keep this info hidden from warmongering factions, at least initially, by leaving hints that only inteligent individuals will figure out (with the assumption that inteligent people are more likely to attempt a peaceful approach to aliens rather than guns blazing).

Am i missing something?

Could be the Architects or another friendly aliens, & this is their way of selecting the intelligent humans to make first contact with on the basis they are less likely to be xenophobic
could be a friendly faction of Thargoids wanting to make contact with humans as potential allies
could be hostile Thargoids & this is their way of selecting the intelligent humans to destroy first
could be Salome or friends who have found something, seems a convoluted way of revealing it
could be FD just saying here's a fun event as the next step in the storyline

Take your pick

This feels like the movie "Contact"

This huge build up...

...and then the alien is her father.

why are we following traders to find aliens?

all will be revealed, possibly
and it wasn't her father, it was an alien (possibly non-corporeal) appearing as her father to avoid further blowing her mind

Wait... I always thought 'the alien was her father' to be a snide remark on how anticlimactic the ending of Contact was.

Do you mean there are people who literally took the ending as her father was the alien?

That's probably the funniest thing I heard in a month :D
 
I don't think we'll get a lot done with the likes of SDC shooting us out of the skies without any dialog! So much for "gameplay", eh?

Literally just happened to me a few minutes ago just after arriving in Cail, the infamous

I'd expect the 'good guy' pvp crew to be there as well, providing a counter to SDC. Any word from those groups?

Totally expected. This is why I'm not participating in the event (that and, of course, I happen to be at work).

Not in Cail right now. Just me and HP in system according to my scanner. I'll move over to Open nearer the time. In a private group for now.
