Please find below my opinion for the Thargoids fight. It's only my opinion, but I want to share it with you, as I did it in French this morning. I'm sorry if I does'nt quickly answer to your feebacks. My english is bad.
Thank to Alex for the translation.

Statement about the Thargoids
Although I have very little doubt about the hostile nature of the Thargoids, I will not open fire on them yet and call on the players to do the same. Some things will happen in the near future and it is possible that shooting and destroying them will be necessary, but I think it is far too early.
Let me explain why :
1/ Thargoids aren’t a treat for the players
At this time, excepting if you fly to Pleiades Sector, and once arrived, drop onto a non humain signal USS, it happen nothing to you. No destruction of player ship out of this area, no massive thargoid invasion in inhabited space.
2/ Thargoids aren’t a treat for the BGS
At this time, nothing can give us a proof that Thargoids presence affect the BGS, its economy, and the minor factions. Until we’ll have the proof of the opposite, Thargoids arrival don’t create scarcity, pandemia, they don’t destroy orbital stations, don’t siphon the credits the players have, etc.
3/ AEGIS and the sheeps
It is interesting to see such players aware of the superpowers manipulations, try to do their best to fight this, but running to the CG organized by AEGIS. What is exactly AEGIS ? It is a super superpower ! In few weeks, this coalition of Feds, Imps and Alliance interests got the full power in the Galaxy regarding Thargoids affair. AEGIS provide the weapons, and defense measures, decided without any valuable argument that Thargoids was a treat and that they must be destroyed.
From my side, seeing such power without any counter power, for such a serious matter than an alien’s invasion, in the hands of a unique organization tell me clearly that there is something wrong here.
To be clear, I’m not trusting AEGIS and, by principle, will not following their orders.
4/ Are we sure that Thargoid vessels are realy destroyed ?
Everywhere, players show their victories against thargoids vessels by claiming that they have destroyed at least one of these. But are we sure ? What if destroying one thargoid vessel would making spawn 2 of them in the other side of the Galaxy ?
At this time, and until we get the proof of the opposite :
We don’t have any clue about what we destroyed,
We don’t know IF we effectively destroyed them,
And finally, we don’t have any idea about the consequences of these acts.
5/ Frontier’s message
Frontier’s message is the most important thing, without any doubt. 2.4 provide something invisible in game at this time, something Frontier insist : the story of the game will evolve with our behaviours. We’d debate hours about the probable “non choice” : war is the only way Frontier wants, betting on the fact we’ll destroying Thargoids, “non choice” that would let Frontier justify the rest.
Whatever Frontier decided to do, there is one thing certain :
What we’ve done before 2.4 had no impact or a weak impact.
What we are doing right now have an impact.
Because of all of these points (probably unperfects, I’m surely not objective), I refuse to shot Thargoids until knowing really what we are the consequences. I also refuse to be like a man with a blindfold on his eyes, and let AEGIS providing me a weapon and shoting when the organization will give the order to me.
