Don't listen to the naysayers and grumpies. Having spent hours yesterday evening trying to get hyperdicted and at the barnacles waiting for a flower with no luck, and missing the livestream today because of work I still love this way of advancing the narrative. A narrative lends itself much more to one or a few characters, while this is not that kind of game. It is much more like real life, where we cannot all be protagonists of the "big" story, while we are simultaneously the protagonists of our own smaller narratives. This is totally fine and excellent. Keep it up!

Well the grind is more boring than a Funeral, them need remove the RNG before add thargoids to that game.
Priorities are priorities.
Nice picture in the message.
Is that a thing in the game we can do?
Yeah I'd hope that there would be a diplomacy or alien allied option available, and that the path isn't dictated by whoever shoots first.
Pew pew is inevitable because some people will want to fight, and that's fine so long as people can choose to be on the alien side instead.
Especially so here because I would rarely wing up, which, going by what Ed said on stream essentially means I as a solo player would be doing a lot of dying.
Peaceful negotiations simulation.
Peaceful joint races missions.
Peaceful mini games between races.
Peaceful escort missions.
Exploration into alien space.
New and improved friendship drive, with extra waiting time and even more scripted events.

I`ll believe it when I see the next mega thread complaining about over powered thargoid ships dropping Cmdr`s left,right and center. This will be followed by the inevitable nerfing, resulting in the cuddly Thargoids to placate the oncoming flood of tears.
Rinse and repeat.
Rinse and repeat.

Is this going to be based on Rngesus to see or interact with this new content?
Will gladly fill the void left by #2 with my PS4 Pro.
Very excited by this news today!
I don't know about Duolingo, but I would crack open the wallet for a Thargoid voice pack.
Umm great video, so the flower ships are thargoids, seem to fire green snot and hate the feds.
I didnt do much alien grind and have only seen thargoids on YouTube.
Out of the bubble. Exploring exploring right now.
How do all the story links converge? Salome, rift, aliens, maia etc not really sure.
Best align back with the alliance they are the fiends friends.
Well well, exciting times, maybe can check out some nebulae in anticipation...

Thing killing the game is super powers run by imaginary leader. Give that power too players allow them chose war or peace allow them too chose path too go give me bloody freedom and you will have bottomless content too fill the gaps with. This alien and story thing is just looking for way out cause your bloody game is dying.
The part I´m most excited about is guessing how much delay 2.4 will actually have. I´m not expecting anything but a terrible beta before decembre.
Well the Feds pulled a 'Leroy Jenkins' and got whipped.......Don't hold much hope out for a wing as well.....
Solo player myself and will be the first seeking an alliance with our bug-eyed friends

As explained, the main interaction with the Thargoids will begin with 2.4 The Return. There are things to be seen in 2.3 still though...
