You have a point. If something has been abandoned for centuries it's a pretty good assumption the ones who put it there arent coming back. It's the equivalent of wondering if the Egyptians are coming back to reclaim the pyramids.

The fault lies on the Thargoids for not taking this into account. Who knows how many times this had happened before and since the guardians.

I thought that their descendants do own the Pyramids. Or are you talking about their ancestors and their polytheistic culture returning to claim ownership? The Ancient Egyptians?

Because all the invaders that came after them did not change the gene pool significantly. That is well known among the scientists that study the human genome.

Its debatable if modern Egyptians are descendants or not. Idk if anyone actually owns the pyramids. I always just assumed it was the government; but I've not looked into it. For the example I'm referring to the ancient pharoes.

By the way, AX vessels are generally as resilient as PvP vessels, so it's not shooting up AX vessels is "ganking".
They may not be able to offer much resistance, but they should be difficult to kill.
Another case of "I don't like your roleplay reasons for shooting me up, please find one convenient for me"

Can confirm, though some of them were pretty squishy and almost got oneshot. Though they wouldn't stand a chance against any thargoid either. I even declared my intentions in local chat, warning players so they can prepare.

Let me guess, you didn't respect it when they politely refused your warning? Gweefer 🤪

Yes we are.
The thargoids are simply farmers and have been farming the meta alloys for significantly more time than humans have been capable of space travel. They're just defending themselves and their crops.

It's all a diversion, someone / some group wants pilots to be out of the bubble and fighting "the enemy" while they're up to something.

That would be the Feds. I believe it was the Feds, that started this war anyway. As you say. No doubt to distract us all, from the mess they have made, of the home system, Sol.

Do we have a choice?

I mean....frontier put aliens in and then to interact with them gave us guns designed specifically to shoot them with, armor to specifically resist their attacks, cargo racks to loot their specific goods, utilities to neutralize their specific defenses, and nothing to talk to them or interpret them or aid them other than I guess trying to find someone else in the same system in the same instance trying to kill em and then kill that guy first...like, what else were we going to do other than shoot them?

We’re not the bad guys, we’re the pigeon-holed guys.

When the Barnacles first appeared, many players asked, if there were consequences, if we attacked them. F.D. were very silent. Then the price of Meta-Alloys became apparent and greed took over.

So you want to get all technical, on me; do you?

Then it is the Australian Aborigines.

I however: Was referring to the land itself. It was an out of the way, out of touch, piece of land and now it is a part of the commonwealth.

The history of everything is one group conquering another. It's inevitable, where ever humans go, they look to expand and take 'one more inch'. I'm sure from an outside perspective it's bad when 'those guys' do it, but much justified when 'our guys' do it. It's our nature though so it's the way it is. No more worthwhile than wondering if hornets are bad because they sting people that aren't even really bothering their nest. They sting because they are hornets... we bring RAID. That's the world.

If you stay away from them. 600m plus, they leave you alone, always. Unless you have 'history' or you are carrying their stuff. Then they attack on sight.

Just jump around the galaxy and stick a flag in. "I claim the Witchhead nebula for Humanity!" They're going "You can't claim us, we live here! For five hundred million years!" "Do you have a flag …? "What? We don't need a bloody flag, this is our sector, you bast ards!" "No flag, no nebula, you can't have one! Those are the rules... that I just made up!...and I'm backing it up with this gun, that was lent from the Aegis research division."

Biggest reason I neglected to unlock Palin: I didn't want to kidnap a bunch of alien babies (probes) and deliver them to be pulverized. My guy is slave trading scum and even he found it too unethical. But those drives are fast and eventually I caved. Now I'm less than scum. If I saw myself laying on the sidewalk I'd be perplexed. My viper doing almost 900m/s with perma-boost helps me sleep at night.
I feel the meta-alloy trees are in kindergarten or elementary.

Sorta like that apple in Eden then....


"You got a whole galaxy to play around in, but leave this stuff alone and stay away from here"

Turns around to see ten humans immediately stuffing those things into sacks and 100 more building homes there.


It's just the way we are. :)

Well, it does seem the Thargoids do keep track on who seriously harmed them and who didn't. I haven't shot a single scout or interceptor yet. I have shot scavengers and I have traded meta alloys for the engineer and tech broker unlocks. I have not ever shot a barnacle. I do have guardian tech on my ships. I do have two AX ships setup for just in case. I haven't even seen a Thargoid ingame yet. I never got hyperdicted or anything. I flew out to witchhead in a Phantom with guardian FSD booster to grab the decal, then flew back home. Not one hyperdiction. A wingmate who has done a lot of Thargoid fighting got hyperdicted on almost every single jump there.

Grim thought. I remember taking a unit of meta-alloys to persuade Farseer to mess with my drives. Kind of wish I hadn't now, especially since I only ever bothered engineering the first two or three levels in FSD and thrusters. Doesn't really seem worth the sacrifice.
