Was thinking about the situation with regards to thargoids taking humans. We dont have much understanding of the thargoids so we inclined to default compare their behavior against our historic own.The two main drivers of mans behavior food and ing, lets start here and analise.
what do Thargoids eat?
Vegitation like most insects we know? or meat? given that they inhabit planets devoid of vegitation and anything that resembles prey i would suggest they eat neither. So logically they arent eating the survivors or the slaves cmdrs are handing them.
How do Thargoids reproduce
Are they F**cking their prisoners? Also no as how would they have sustained their species for all the years they werent interacting with humans?
So why the Title 'Phoney war' well again history is the best teacher. 1939 on the ground in france the atmosphere would be strikingly similar to what we have now. massive confusion lots of grey no black and white and the enemy being generally spooky and doing mystifying things.
My main point is this, this is the same build up as phoney war, and theyre doing exactly the same as we are. Gathering intelligence, testing our tec and better studying us by collecting as many examples as they can.
This in my view is the typical eve of war, where everything is damn confusing and backwards untill the start gun properly goes off. forget showering them with gifts of sacrifices and meta alloys, do the CG so we can gear up and have a chance. Also the attack wont come from near their space, theyll appear in the center of the bubble or even sol and we'll all be at the great re buy in the sky in no time.
also, fourth wall breaker. Fdev know their players, if they made this black and white us v them no questions they know we would END the thargoids in the first two weeks!
