Hive ship? - was that the big cave thingy with the whirly thing in the middle? (full of Kinder eggs)
Is the Thargoid tank empty?

He wasnt an introspective hippie though.
He was a combat pilot against them during his career.
An insect hive of known sentient creatures that has existed for millions of years before humanity went to the stars. Instead of learning and understanding them, INRA picked their wings off under a microscope, how mature of them.
We got into this mess because we sat on an ant-hill- regardless of INRA the Thargoids are very territorial and don't like other races. The Guardians tried and failed to make peace, and in doing so created their own downfall.
I get people want to have picnics and sing songs etc with the xenos, but it makes for a poor story and motivation if everyone is friendly. So far ED is pretty much like WH40K in that everything is bad- in the end ED is (or should be) about you and the lengths you'll go to survive.
For the record, I referred to Thargoid Structures as, well, Thargoid structures, and the Thargoid Barnacles as barnacles. It looks like you mixed them up, and are referring to barnacles as structures. The old GalNet article that you linked referred to them as "non-human structures", but if you read it, it describes the barnacles, not the Thargoid bases.
Merope 5 c has barnacles, but no Thargoid Structures. The first barnacles were most likely found there because we already knew at the time that the moon has clues pointing towards it. However, there are lots of barnacles elsewhere too. More importantly, nothing unique to Merope 5 c has been found to date, even with the introduction of the DSS. So why does it feature prominently? That is an unsolved question.
Empire still employs slave. That's cutthroat galaxy.
So just like Manuel
"We know narfing"
"We know narfing"
exactly, you don't give thousands of players space ships with guns and tell them to figure out how to sing songs and play tiddlywinks with the NPC's with absolutely ZERO indication that that's even possible.
most countries on Earth today still employ slaves, what's your point?
I don't think you do get it. Some of us don't want to be Robute Gulliman, some of us want to be Picard
oh I get your point. I just don't think this game accommodates it. Nor has anyone at FDev made any indication that they plan to. Also, Picard was a pansy.
So communicating don't work, shooting them don't work, has anyone tried mating with one?
shooting them totally works! I've killed hundreds.
As for mating...ask RELSPI. (long story short, it ended with shooting)
In fact, communicating with them, by all indications in the game is the only thing that DOESN'T work.
Yep, there's that on the game design sense. Give the players the ability to shoot something, and perhaps give them a hidden ability to somehow communicate with them, and even if anyone figures out the latter, those who shoot at the potentially hostile aliens will outnumber the latter.
However, the later Guardian logs revealed that the Thargoids weren't interested in communication, and the Guardians had to go to some pains in order to talk with them, which did them little good. See here. I wonder if this was a later retcon though, or if this was intended from the start.

I am a lover not a fighter, I'm gonna try the mating route, cuedos to you though
I have a feeling the Thargoid story left with Michael Brookes.
ok....just watch the CORROSIVE GREEN GOO. With ships you can burn it off if you run your temp up to 180% or so....not sure that would work with humans...but do let us know how it goes...new Elite Dangerous fanfic: 50 Shades of Green.
Then you are in the wrong game.
That it's a cutthroat galaxy.
I'd agree with you, if you weren't dead wrong.
Literally 2/3s of the in-game experience system is non-combat. As a matter of fact the two most lucrative professions are also non-combat. You have guns on your ship because space is the wild west of 1286 years in the future and lets be real here, bounty hunting and bug killing is fun. However, those are not by any means the only things to do or even the focus of this game, if you believe they are, well then I pity you more than anything else.
What's more telling, is that there's been massive community and developer support for exploration, yet you can't even get the community to drive away mild thargoid attacks in the bubble of all places. I've been based out of the Pleiades for over a year and have killed thousands of goids... it just gets old pew pewing all the time.
Perhaps you've cultivated a mindset of blood thirst because that's the game you wish to play in, however, it is not indicatory of the developers overall view of gameplay. I'm sorry you're stuck in such a 2 dimensional universe, my condolences.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
