When you make first contact with an Alien, what do you intend to do?

Thank you commanders

My first contact with any alien species would likely result in a cannon shell to the face. Unless they're handing out worthwhile trade missions.
 
Where is the option to join with them, steal their tech, give it to the humans and stomp the alien scum until there's nothing left? That's my choice of action :D

you mean similar to the standard power play behavior? ;-)
that is joing faction x three weeks, getting their tech, then defect und fighting against them later...
 
What do you mean soon? 2.3 won't come this year. However, we might find live Thargoids in December, cause Braben said "Winter is coming".

I've heard that's how it's done although for myself despite buying game at release I have not yet pledged to any of them. Reminds me too much of real life politicians. However good a game they talk it always about who gets the money lol

who made this poll?

-> deploy hard Points deploy fighter and wait for them to fire the first shoot. Then blast them out of the universe!
 
chill your beans Rambo, i heard all thargoids are female
That's ma boy!

Now, about the topic... I would really try to communicate. Why? Because I still have the hope of finding some wisdom in the universe. Something better than human troglodites with too much tech on their hands.
And maybe, if chance arise, I would even turn sides and help the aliens to cleanse the galaxy from this "human" virus.
 
Well if they are like what they were in '84 then it'd be run away. or most likely...die

But given the ahem somewhat negative responses to harder AI I can't see them being tougher than an Elite pilot. Not that I try and take on Elite pilots as I tend to pootle around in an Asp. But I presume beating them one on one is feasible for a good pilot in an appropriate ship.
 
Well, Thargoids aren't the only Aliens we're going to find, are they? So until we know which aliens we've encountered, I'd be the cautious, try to communicate type.
 
While exploring... use the entire stock of Toilet paper.
If in the bubble...

Try to communicate without getting my hard points out.
 
Well, if you read Out of the Darkness by T James; Thargoids are rather like advanced large spiders. 8 limbs, should be able to do multitasking much better than us! Best not to get captured though!
