- story thargoid xeno peace
It would have been cool if peace had truly been on the table in game tbh. I've kind of lost steam in the Thargoid content altogether at this point, though.
Well, I cannot argue about the SCO being a good thing - even if I have some qualms about how said technology was obtained - but the point is that I don’t believe Titans are remaining stationary to get exploded because they can’t move (any longer).
If we’re putting aside some of the questionable writing of the end of the Titan arc… like the whole existence of magical AGF-resistant nanobots which the Thargoids are somehow completely unaware of despite displaying an interest in and collecting unclassified relics, which are created in their own crashed ships. Which themselves are still connected to the Thargoid hivemind in some way.
Already started the process with the govt involved. To my surprise, They took the documentation with little fanfare, and in no way seemed surprised. I got the distinct feeling that this wasn't new to them. One of the "agents" even made a suggestion to my load-master that it might be bad for me, in terms of getting new contracts in the future, if this got out to the general public.
No time to worry about that now...almost through the cloud at Thor. Need to concentrate on the pods
As far as we know, at the Aegis headquarters in Duamta. But the only thing she has done in the last year or so is point out obvious things about the Thargoids or refuse to talk about Nemesis for reasons that were not elaborated to us in the public, after returning from Utopia where she went to chat with Pranav about it.
(I prefer to presume because it is things the public is better off not knowing for now, than throwing a tantrum about it.)
I haven't, nor have I forgotten how Jacque's Station got where it is.
There is another possibility, however unlikely.
We could knock out both remaining titans Taranis style leaving a bunch of Thargoid occupied systems next to the Bubble.
Of course if the Titans are the Thargoid equivalent of a Coriolis, then potentially every system in Thargoid permit locked space could contain one...

If we weren’t continually expanding they might just do that, but we are so they are following the ancient advice that if you are going to fight a messy war do it on their territory so at least you aren’t ruining your own.
The society depicted in the game is civilised according to the old definition as most of them live in cities.
Rather unlikely when the current Thargoid defense does not leave such a window open, but I guess if the two remaining Titans decide to forgo defensive to do... whatever it is they might do, then maybe.
But I'm not convinced a bunch of angry Thargoids around a Titan wreck, on old orders to hold their territory against humans with any means possible, is really the kind we'd want to have around.
... and they very probably have more than these 8, but how many, well, only they know.
If FD do intend to add Thargoids toPP, that would be the most to be the most logical method to use.
Not sure what we would trade with them. Chocolate?
Which would have at absolute best ruled that it had no jurisdiction over the HIP 22460 system and their complaints should be directed to Azimuth Biotech as the system controller.
While I think those who say that they haven't communicated are understating that they've made their position fairly clear, that's not the same as the level of detailed communications needed to bring a legal case.
(Though, who's to say that they haven't been capturing all these humans on the basis of "there must be a lawyer in here somewhere"?)
And considerably more who wanted war. Even discounting the various NPCs, Hudson was able to get a substantial majority of player support for "oppress the Far God Cult" in circumstances which would normally (i.e. when he'd already tried it on absolutely everyone else first) have got the Federal Navy sent home in ignominious defeat. And the FGC can and did communicate and were very obviously a bunch of harmless pacifists.
Simple. I like the smell of napalm in the morning, and roasted goid is just adds some badly needed spice on top of it
This should be the biggest decision-maker. They already know the limits of our technology. We have no idea what their limits are.
I don't see how peace is an option, but I would certainly support it if an opportunity arises.
Such an optimist.
And yet wasn't it the Far God cult that came out victorious when the Guardian cult wanted to wipe them out?
Why is that? As far as I remember the lore, the Guardians also tried to negotiate with the Thargoids in the beginning, and when they learned their language they realized the futility of it. So they had to destroy the Thargoids.
Or they simply lack a TAB button on the keyboard.
Or the "J" key is a one-use only.
By the way lore-wise, the first guardian ships were without engines. They were catapulted in.
That's the whole disposable thing.
I can't help seeing that as akin to the Belt and Road dispute clause that requires disputes to be heard in a Beijing court, that then transfers sovereignty of the project(s) to China...
