Are Thargoid invasions getting worse? Is it time for pilot owned, heavily armed super carriers/titan class vessels to help save humanity?

Carriers can't be damaged, so surely an indestructible Fleet Carrier that can transport thousands of heavily armed combat ship would trump any ship that can be damaged and/or destroyed.
Perhaps the Thargoids develop the ability to destroy normal carriers in the systems they attack. It may help to declutter carriers from systems due to absent owners who dont jump them out of systems under threat.
Not going to happen, that will never be part of the game.
Sadly I believe the Thargoids look at us, like we look at insects... to be swatted when they get too annoying. How does an ant negotiate with a human?
With a very sharp tiny pin to the toe.
The indestructability of carriers is purely an out of game, handwavium-coated aspect of carriers, based on the fact that if they could be destroyed, gankers would do so. They're a bigger threat to their own commanders, and would never be allowed to be deployed in proximity to Thargoids, except by the freakiest of chances.
A new class of ship, or the current battle cruisers, made available to players, would be required, and the kind of development required for that looks like a bleak prospect now.
I say lets make a new ship, slightly boxy with four swivel engines. Call it a...a Tiger? Nah. Ocelot? Lacks snap.
Ah! Panther. Yes!
Ah! Panther. Yes!
Several million pins several million times, over and over.
With attachements you could, um, I don't know... maybe clip on?
Some new ships based on Guardian tech and maybe even retrofitting captured Thargoid Cyclops ships for human pilots.
Defeatist heresy.
Thargoids are too tasty to negotiate with. I say we keep adding to the buffett.
When it comes to a buffet, we need to give quiche a chance.
I vote we call it the Black-Footed Cat and make it tiny.
The three powers all ready have stolen salvation super weapons plans, they just need to build them and deploy them...
Only the alliance needs a new ship to be able to deploy them...
Feds and Empire already have the assets needed, just the alliance does not... that's what they need Sirius for...
The alliance should be getting Sirius built capital class ships to deploy the super weapons...
The easy way out for the Alliance capital ship for Fdev is you just use the Lego parts of existing mega ships and slap on extra parts to make a new sirius military capital class mega ship...
With capital class drives, these super weapon ships can jump in to any AX CZ charge up Super weapon while defended and then end the conflict in that AX zone wit the super weapons...
This will be a modification of the existing HIgh coflict zone not a full rewrite so simpler mod for fdev to build in these zone as the war moves to the thargoid home system which Aegis has known for years but never had the super weapons to deploy...
