Hi,
I have maybe once posted on Canonn thread before this, but here we go.
So i went to the active site at HIP 14909 2 A with UA and UP.
And my first impression was WoW, as there was a lot of mist:
Next i flew over the site to take a look at the big "structures" and to me they look like ships or shipwrecks:
And they have damage marks on them, similar to damage marks on human ships "destroyed" by these "flower ship".
And it looks like these flying things called scavengers are taking these apart
I spotted at least 4 of these huge ships or shipwrecks. All have similar damage marks on them and scavengers going around flying to walls and extracting something from these.
Then i thought there is other similar looking shapes. These look like same as the big "ships/shipwrecks" but are already mostly deconstructed or just are being build up.
Then i went inside the middle structure and did the activation thing, and then i catch something that i haven't seen anyone mention, those little scavenger things fly around and go/return to the alien eggs and drop something on them. Scavenger stop to hover over the "egg" on the floor and its body do animation, then there is some dust or something falling from the scavenger on top of the egg. Then the scavenger go fly around go to wall and cut/extract something from it and go to next/same "egg" and do same stuff again. They are taking care of the eggs.
So in conclusion what is my theory about the site.
1st theory: There is destroyed alien ships around that are being de assembled by the scavengers. Something shot these down at the site or brought them there from else were to be de assembled at the site. Some are almost fully de assembled some are "newer" catches. Then they are growing/building something under the ground and are using these "ships" as parts/resources/food.
If these big ship looking objects at the site are destroyed then we can draw conclusion that these were destroyed with same weaponry as those federation and human ship we can find in space. This could mean that the flower ships aren't attacking human ships, but are like humans/players investigating these sites of destroyed human ships and we just happen to see them leave the area after they have finished the scan. Maybe these big "ships" on surface are bigger "flower ships" that were destroyed by this other alien race. AS there has been at least one case of flower ship being spotted at the this new alien base/site it could be that they are also trying to solve why their ships are going missing and when they scan players they see us there and then after scan see that we aren't part of these sites etc. and they just ignore us and leave to go and report about it back to their HQ.
Or maybe the site was attacked by same weaponry that destroyed some human ships and capital ships. Or they attacked the site and lost/were destroyed and are now consumed by it.
2nd theory: These site are shipyards and those big ships i am talking about are being build, as the site has 8? "slots" and only 4 ships i would assume the other 4 would already be finished and are out there somewhere lurking and these 4 others are still under construction. The "eggs" inside could be the crew growing up. This doesn't explain the damage on the "ships", or they could be being repaired.
3th theory: What happened with the thargoid ships after the war? After the one in earlier games, were humans used biological weapons against them? I would assume they didn't just vanish. Maybe these sites are craveyards of the thargoid war. After the war Feds and imperials probably had a lot of death alien capital ships and ships lying around. So maybe they dumped them somewhere on mass graves? Like humans have done in every war in real history. This could be one reason why feds want to hide/get all data regarding these sites, usually factions don't like when people go around digging around mass graves.
Maybe those thargoid ships weren't all dead or all of the crew wasn't death, maybe some of the crew survived because they had mutation that was resistant to the biological agent/weapon used by humans. Or some of the "egg" survived on board the capital ships and later hatched. In the mass grave the survivors then started to build up. They are deconstructing old shipwrecks and building new ships/growing new thargoids.
What you guys think? Are my assumptions good/bad? Do you agree/disagree?
