Alien bases grow - With an important update at Page 4

The sites are certainly organic. The Unknown Uplinks point out that there is organic degradation and decaying genetic material, according to structure scans. It's possible that the scavengers are actually revitalizing them and trying to "revive" them.
Since we can get inside these things, for now, isn't it time to start filling them up with high explosives?
Similar to doubts over alien site measurement, can I point out that not all forum users' page sizes are the same.
This is page 2 for me. I eagerly await the exciting developments on page 4
We're only midway through page 1 for me (at 100 posts per page).
You seem to ignore the fact they are quite clearly named as "scavengers" / That is, they are scavenging the otherwise corrosive residue.This is what happens when a virulent, manufactured chemical weapon has been reverse engineered. What was once the bane of Thargoids is now working to service them.Consider what is known regarding Thargoids# Ammoonia/based biology / this ewntails that the very oxygenating/reducing chemistry of water/based life is highly toxic. The reverse is true also. The nitrates may very likely form carcinogens in reaction with carbon organics as well. I am convinced all evidence of Flower ships so far is indivcative of Thargoids preparing to defend themselves against the side effects of contact / not with any assumption of intent nor offensive purpose, but simply they are far more knowledgable of us and the threat we pose by our natural physiology / than we are of them .
That is a rather astute suggestion. Let us be about it. They can always be disarmed via remote control. Just to be sure.
Obviously, we can't actually place exposives inside of them.
Now, an SRV is another story....
Any one like to volunteer to park their SRV in the thing and leave it there until, well until...it becomes obvious that the experiment is over?

Just, uh, gonna leave this here, since people are talking about ships being dug out and reanimated and being all very excited. Be careful what you uncover.

This still gives me chills. That scream.

Slightly off topic but that's an interesting point. The SRV must be covered with toxic compounds after a trip inside.
Does the ship automatically decontaminate the SRV ?
Or de we have an ammonia smell that permeates everything ?
Got that right.
That's like how the first war with the Thargoids started, some trigger happy fleet commander.
We have identified two kinds of Thargoids, Klaxians (warlike) and Oresrians (peaceful). They were in a civil war and stumbled upon human occupied space.

"The sound of something terrible being born."
Gods I loved that series. I wish they would do what they did with Star Trek:TOS and TNG and refresh the special effects, but it's probably not financially viable.
Sorry to be a cynic, but the more I look at that comparison image, the more it seems like this may just be a case of a model swap and not actual growth. If you look at the positions of the big whale/Leviathan/whatever things (the things that aren't the spikes) relative to the inner ring of spike things, while some seemed to have gotten bigger and/or changed shape slightly, the two on the right-most side of the image have actually shifted positions as well. From the first image to the second they have both shifted one arms-length counterclockwise. I'll admit I'm a little biased as I've never thought that they are growing but rather deteriorating. We could stand for some more comparison photos though and more surveillance on the sites, because it could be they are changing, but it's still a little ambiguous in what way.
Good idea and I am happy to hear that you are volunteering. We are all very proud of you. Good luck!
Is it getting bigger, or is it a buried object extricating itself from the ground?
i.e. appears to get larger because more is being revealed.
Either way, interesting!
Edit... ships of an organic appearance are quite probably organic. Life starts as a barnacle, grows (eventually) into OP's first picture, into the second picture, and eventually emerges as a full-size Thargoid flower ship. With a central control room containing a map of all possibletargets destinations for the newly... hatched ship.

Still think they are ships being repaired and dug out by those drones
Hey That's my idea too!
Indeed. And no pressure, but we're all counting on you.
Try to be as descriptive as possible about what's
Again, just a quick note. The shadow vessels in Babylon 5 were living. Like the Vorlon ships. Both? Really really good at (and arguably the entities seemed to enjoy) ripping things apart. It's entirely probable that the flower ships are life forms, engineered for the job.
And a bit like the above, they may be really really good at (and or enjoy) ripping things apart. Like us, for example. I'm sure it'll be finetm.
