I like the sound of that, something new and different
Well my first thought was it was going to be like the novel “The Black Cloud”. But the later parts of the press release ruled that out.
My second was that FDev are setting stuff up for 7 days time.
My third was the Thargoids are going to take control of the powers, the proof of this will be a change in how we can interface with the powers.
The good news is that we are doomed.

Just shows that Thargoids never had the slightest interest in negotiation, since apparently they could have chosen to do so at any point. Instead they chose to not communicate.
I guess it's possible that this means they are now willing to talk because they are hanging in the ropes. Imho it's more likely though that they turn to more biological warfare.
If I remember correctly, the Goids did not communicate with the Guardians either. But the guardians are gone, I wonder if we will make it through the war with the goids. I doubt it is over, even if we manage to take down the last Titan standing in our little bubble
In conjunction with this tweet from Arthur ...

Yes it would!
I'd considered this the most likely cause for the capturing of live humans in numbers by the Thargoids since the beginning, (partly due to the Meta reasoning that it's the easiest way to integrate Odyssey combat with the Thargoid War effort, rather than having to design all new enemies and gameplay,) but had been collecting pods for the first six Titans as there wasn't enough evidence to justify leaving people behind. Only suspicions about the behaviour of the Titans and their purpose.
Somehow... Salvation returned.
For the sake of humanity we must sadly pre-harvest those at risk. Brave Kumo Burger agents will save us!
If you suspect someone of being 'One of Them' call Kumos free hotline and stay safe!

Just in time for Halloween?
The ones rescued from the pods probably aren't the ones we need to worry about
- they're either still in quarantine (Federation, Empire) or have been released into the community but are likely still under heavy surveillance (Alliance)
- it's possible that whatever treatment the Thargoids were using hadn't been applied to them yet so they're actually perfectly safe (as in, they are no danger to us; the mob with pitchforks is a big danger to them, unfortunately)
It's the ones they captured, treated and released without us ever noticing some time in the last twelve months/ten years which you might need to watch out for.
Perhaps the 'new feature' reveal will be actual on foot Thargoids. If we're building up to something.
Or who has the footpix.Ten-to-one the Thargoids already know who the PP 2.0 leaders are - and what dirty laundry they have
Imagine the Goids blackmailing Denton- " we know where your 'archive' is kept, human!"
In my opinion, this is probably fine. Worst case, they already knew enough about us to wage a war, social knowledge from Seo isn't going to turn the tide.
Best case, this gives them the knowledge they need on why humans keep being so dumb about the meta alloys and whatnot. I've always felt the Thargoids are much more "actions, not words", and knowing that the drones they encounter aren't actually being controlled all that tightly and could just be bargained with? They find out about the military-industrial complex, propaganda, capitalism? Who knows, could change the situation.
In fact, I question why they'd want to control Seo if not to try some form of communication. One person isn't going to do much, arguably you could try to kill one or two people but not really significant in a war of this scale. This is assuming that Colombera's speculation is worth more than the usual GalNet speculation (also, fire them for saying that publicly, jesus christ)
Pessimistic case, Frontier don't want to change the status quo too much or devote dev time, so this knowledge gets the goids to hit the superpower capitals as a flashy but ultimately inconsequential event. Shinrarta was the test run.
