Putting The Pieces of The Alien Ship Back Together (Visually)

Maybe it looks like this, who knows.
However, the picture reminds me a little bit of the very early reconstruction attempts of dinosaurs...

All parts are there, but they somehow ... don't fit. ;)

Me neither. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a different alien species and we have an opportunity to join forces with the Thargoids to eliminate the threat. It would open up a new Thargoid alien bubble with Thargoid engineers.

i know i wouldnt be scared of ships that look like bio dung lol.....some nice giger style in places.....but i reckon thats a ship that was a living entity....a mother barnie

i reckon it was there to excrete a barnie into the planet..or to land on a barnie and suck out the alloys or whatever its after inside .....but it got rumbled by something....something more powerfull....like the thargoids.

Except for the eightfold rotational symmetry, which is highly reminiscent of you-know-what.

I think it's safe to say that the timeline and lore surrounding the Thargoids is pretty open at the moment - it's definitely been retconned for this iteration of the game, so all bets are off as to what they look like or what tech they employ. My understanding is that there are files labelled "thargoid" in the game asset files.

Since the first Thargoid war didn't happen (hasn't happened yet) in the Elite: Dangerous timeline, there are a lot of potential gameplay options on the table.

That picture was drawn by someone who didn't even know that the defining characteristic of all dinosaurs is the structure of the hips, which put the legs under the centre of mass (which is the same in modern birds), as opposed to lizards, such as crocodiles, where the legs splay to the side.

I suspect that the two side bits in the first reconstruction picture are actually articulated with the claw parts somehow.

A word of caution. We don't know if we have all the pieces. We don't know if what remains is just the 'skeleton' or if other organic / mechanical parts have been lost or removed from the site. Even a hoax is possible.

Like the 'incorrect dinosaurs' that were assembled from available fossils before enough was known about them...

looking at the teaser from the Braben interview the two faces with glowing green can be identified as the "wing" sections (as annotated on the UA thread.) They are identifiable by their serrated edge.
These sections appear to be opposing one another in a manner not entirely dissimilar to the double saucer (or V, in the newer series) of cylon basestars from BSG.
In the last few readable frames, the "knuckle" of one of the leg like structures moves past in the near feild of the shot, implying that it moves independant of the upper and lower sections, or that the ship was pitching (relative to camera)

I now hope that there are parts underground as a result of impact.

The picture above looks rather...er...cute.
