Yes. The first four systems (including Varati) are listed in a Flight Operations Plan on the Gnosis station services.

Varati
Hyades Sector AQ-Y d81
HIP 18778
Witch Head Sector DL-Y d8

I am still hoping it all goes wonky, though, and we get flung off across the galaxy somewhere :)
Gnosis took tourist mission :D

Mad question but... someone tried to blink morse code to a targanoid ship?

Personally I think the markings on the Alien ships are decals for how many Escape pods they have 'harvested'.. :) Although quite possibly Team decals.
 
I would hypothesise that the markings are related to Oresrians and Klaxians, but all we're seeing is Oresrians.

The core of the markings is always the same. If the Thargoids are indeed insectoid then their markings may have a connected structure. The queen will effectively be the centre of the 'hive'.

So, hypothesis:

The central mark relates to the 'hive' that they belong to (in this case Oresrian). The subsequent layers then constitute further denominations of some kind, whether it's names, roles and ranks, or something else.

Just realised I replied in the other thread, so I'll put my thoughts here.

I'm wondering if these patterns are more to do with "Clans", similar to that of the Guardians?

That, or something to do, possibly, with generations - the larger the markings, the older that particular ship is (or much younger, the oldest being the ones with the original centre marking that's also present on the Barnicles - though I'm leaning towards Clans, as opposed to two different factions within the Thargoid race).

That's a good point. I don't think it's a particularly pleasant experience to be a Tharglet host.
I can't imagine them using a human as an incubator unless they froze it, otherwise it would be akin to attempting to raise a human child in boiling water.
 
I'm trying to do it here

I don't think the markings are related to Oresrian or Klaxians, there is a lot of different markings and we can see multiple Thargoid ship in the same place with different markings.
Must be the vessel class or role. I don't thinks it's related to species or hive, because they are not fighting each other.

I'm guessing these are rank decals. Once we have weapons that can actually do any damage, we'll hopefully also have scanners that detect these decals to tell us how tough a specific Thargoid is (in the same way as other human ships) - a single fixed skill level per Thargoid ship type wouldn't be realistic, and wouldn't allow a wide spectrum of human players to engage Thargoids at their appropriate level.
 
Thargies have always "visited" barnacles, are you suggesting something new?

yes look at the pic its got green stuff coming off it

Yeh, I've never seen that green "spray" before.

Also, was just there... banged around a bit but no Thargoid visit :(

EDIT: Also, yay, just nabbed a TP from under the nose of a thargoid!

Just to clear up the terminology.

- Tharglet is a juvenile Thargoid, known to live as a parasite inside a living host.
- Thargon is a small Thargoid drone ship.

Thargons may be piloted by Tharglets, but we don't know this.

Thanks Han_Zen!
I knew something was wrong when I wrote it, but was too busy to check.
