While this is still just a report, to anyone that didn't experience it, The thargoids did seem to destroy ships prior to the cap ship which was reported in galnet.
From my own experience I was flying around in a system near Maia, can't remember exactly which system (Col something) but it did have bases and barnacles. While flying I got sent a message, offering a mission to salvage a black box from a recently destroyed ship. Can't remember the exact wording of the message, but it definately hinted that it was an alien attack, plus the money being offered was a little over $2M. So I took it and sure enough upon jumping to the required system and finding the POI, there were the ship remains (Annaconda) along with the Black box and a few UA's. Also upon entering the POI the ship voice said unknown ship signature detected, only disappointingly, I never saw an unknown ship and couldn't find an "exit point" to scan. I believe this scenario (and I doubt I'm the only one to have done it) was meant to be the in game equivalent to they're destroying our ships.
FYI: The Conda possibly shot first ? or could have been carrying meta alloys, which in my mind are the thargoids property, so, they could well have been justified, in destroying said ship. I find it funny how the cargo or lack of cargo of these destroyed ships is never mentioned in Galnet, and don't forget we did essentially blockade their barnacles. I don't buy the whole we're innocent in all this tone being reported. But they have for unknown reasons, destroyed our ships.
I agree with you. I wouldn't say its a bitter insight, as I tend to think it's actually more of a human nature thing. When it comes to waging a war, you can't do it alone, so you need to convince others to help you. So in essence you need "approval" and to get that your side needs to be the side that is perceived as the side that is "just" (even if it isn't). There are naturally exceptions to this, where one or both sides has the power to wage a war and it doesn't actually matter what others think, but they still sell their brand of righteousness, because it has the added benefit that people will fight longer and harder if they believe they are fighting for something worth fighting for.
So essentially it's a sales game, and I tend to think Salespeople don't always fully disclose the complete truth when trying to convince someone to buy something (and I doubt anyone would disagree with that).
The thing is just because you ask for an official statement, would they really make an admission to what they left out, or would they just claim they've already told you everything. (and to them "everything" probably equals "everything YOU need to know").

Now this is ridiculous.
Epsilon indi coexists happily with Veliaze in FE2:
And in FFE.

Surely the mycoid virus was a biological weapon, not a chemical one.
Squeeze me?! Baking Powder?!
I fully agree. At least FDev could have said Veliaze had been renamed to the other system with a planet called New Africa, Zelada. Or just chosen another system with an earth-like at random that was otherwise insignificant and said that the planet name and system name had been changed.
Ah well, it's not as bad as it could be, there have been worse lore-breaking changes. For example, Phekda. And Ross 128 being overrun by greencoats is pretty difficult to understand as well
