Im going to copy and paste.
After much thought:
We are being used. Mercilessly. Canonn are almost solely responsible for this:
1. The observed structures are damaged.
2. The damage is being repaired incessantly by automated drones.
3. The Thargoid ships encountered are non hostile.
4. The Drones are only temporarily hostile.
This points to the Thargoids being extremely resource wary. Anything that can cost resources is intolerable.
My hypothesis:
The Mycoid virus almost destroyed the Thargoid, and is still present within their biotech. However, this remains threat No: 1 for the Thargoid. In essence, they have simply learned to live with it. Using a workforce of drones, that costs them dearly, they repair their structures on the fly, purifying the materials. These materials are then dumped within chambers and show up as Unknown technology, biomatter or somesuch.
It is unknown whether these have any further use.
What is clear though, is that they are a damaged species. For some reason they have come to the Pleiades. I would hazard the following:
1. The Pleiades nebula is suitable for them. It could be the amount of ammonia worlds, or the nebula gas neutralises the Mycoid virus somewhat.
2. They have continuously used human communication forms to further their aims. Meaning that it is better for us to do the work for them. We spread their technology about and they learn of our capabilities.
3. It is painfully obvious - THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO THIS UNLESS THEY HAD TO. SOMETHING HAS FORCED THEM OUT FROM THEIR COMFORT ZONE!. The question is what?
4. They are unprepared. One does not EVER! build an army on the neighbours doorstep.
Thoughts please
----------------------------------------------
I want all commander to pay attention to something. Its obvious the settlements are ships. Just look at the amount of eggs stuck to the ceiling. I think what we are doing is basically waking the crew up.
I want you ALL to understand something very clearly. What can scare a three kilometre wide ship?
Sure, we can shoot what is equilivant to what is a 3km senile granddad. But why is granddad legging it? What's got up his pants?

Well, Scavenging means finding something useful from junk. If you had the option of chopping off an arm because of an infection, wouldn't it be nice to keep the fingers for later? I think that's what they are basically doing. Delaying the inevitable.
