Has there always been Thargoid stuff near the center of the galaxy?

I scanned a random planet near the core, around 3100ly from Colonia and 21-22k ly from Sol and a non-human signature appeared. Upon landing there was a crashed thargoid sensor or probe and two thargoid fragments. This stuff always been this far out?

I am trying to post screenshots but I keep getting "opps, we ran into some problems" error.

It's a known thing to happen, from time to time, with the new Odyssey POIs. Might be on purpose, might just be something weird in the randomizer. Though, even if it were just an odd glitch... I'd say lean into it. We head out into the black, after all, in search of new worlds and what might be out there. Why shouldn't the Thargoids do the same?

OTOH, another thing that pops up in Odyssey are a bunch of surface installations, in-Bubble, that sell... decent... quantities of Meta-Alloys. So there's clearly some status-quo stuff, in the background, that's quietly changing.

Might have just been something propelled there over a very long time, even if it wasn't dropped there directly by Thargoids. After all, Sir Isaac Newton is the...

The excitment of finding a nonhuman signature that far away from where they usually appear, only to discover it's just some glitched/bugged POI :(

Frankly, to me coming across a legit non-human signal somewhere out in the black is "the dream(tm)"

Given that the Thargoids have supposedly had interstellar travel for more than a million years, I don't really have a problem with finding their trash in remote places.

If anything, Thargoids have the opposite problem: why aren't they all over the galaxy by now?

Something is keeping them in check. Possibly rivalry between tribes, keeping them mostly within agreed territories, which humans are mostly kept out of by Pilots Federation permit-locks.

Only humans are allowed to explore apparently.

Who's to say the thargoids even explore the same space as us? There's a few places where we overlap, but if they're just hanging out in witchspace, who knows what dimensional axes they consider to be worth exploring?

The thought also occured to me, even if we kick em out of our dimensional aggregate, there's no guessing what other aggregates they can travel to, or for that matter whether or not they have the ability to construct poly-dimensional aggregates that we can't even exist in.

Which is to say we should have no second thoughts on excising them from the domain of Mankind's Destiny.

Flashbacks to when they didn't even add the odyssey POI check for things that shouldn't be spawning when far from civilization like abandoned buildings and crashed stuff.

Looks like this check for being in regions of thargoid activity is missing.

So anyone raised a bug we can upvote, since this is constantly "a thing" ™?

I can't, since I've never actually encountered this.

I think all the POI generation needs a serious adjustment. Distress beacons forever, all over every planet lol. I think the population of humans residing in escape pods around the galaxy must be as much, maybe even more than humans in the bubble!

Might be more like the Thargoids have no reason to explore very far. If they can get meta-alloys from nearby, there's little reason for them to venture out farther.

May I introduce you to the first two axioms of cosmic sociology:
  • Survival is the most important goal of every civilization
  • Every civilization will continue to expand and grow, but resources in the universe are finite
