[Drelthar]

These are pretty silly reasons why they wouldn't add thargoid on foot stuff.

Aye. Ineptitude is a much more believable explanation after all

Well yeah, almost anything is better than

"It'd be kinda like something else"

And,

"Missiles exist"

I think fighting thargoids on foot being like landing on Klandaathu would be a good thing though..

large scale landing ops.

Hmm, I just can't see it.

*1997 and the CGI still holds up.

I was hugely disappointed with the whole Thargoids post reveal. Amazing amount of mystery and buildup then we ended up with a side game that didn't make a blind bit of difference to the galaxy. Same with gaurdians. FDev love releasing half baked ideas.

I find the guardian sites spooky and tense, and I really like the music & ruins.

As for fighting Thargoids, that requires specialised ships so it makes sense to keep the combat separate for those seeking it out. They couldn't just have Cmdrs randomly getting attacked and blown up while mining/bounty hunting/exploring etc - do that and there'd be enough salt for a shipping container full of chips.

It needs to have additional combat mechanics, other than "bullet sponge" and "DPS race"

1. If they are out in the open just fire dumbfire missiles at them like you already can with NPCs. And,
2. If they are inside structures or caves FDev will have just made a copy of Aliens: Fireteam Elite.

Sorry folks.

sorry for what?
the second option is great

3. Certificate regarding non/ partial availability of fresh water/ treated waste water supply from the local government water supply agency in cases where requirement of ground water is more than 10 m3 /day

I think it would actually make the amount of concern about Thargoids feel actually justified
