Re-Playing First Encounters got me thinking.....

Ok wild speculation ahead....

We know alot was retconned however CMDR Jameson, Inra, Mycoid, the payload etc wasnt, We presume Jameson is dead from the logs...however that was his Cobra MKIII.

In FFE storyline after the mycoid incident etc our final mission was to actually choose to help the Thargoids and be given our own Thargoid warship modified for a human to fly....what if the Variant we seen over Palins base is this varient....that ship that was seen is CMDR Jameson or "The player" from FFE.......

There is alot more Storyline items that match up to old lore each couple of months, although alot is retconned we do not know what.....and that Thargoid ship looked very "Human" compared to others.

Thinfoil hat vibrating....... @drew I have tagged you as you have much more knowledge of old lore than anyone I have seen on this forum.

The final mission spec:

Thargoids' Mycoid Mission​

When: After your landing at the Thargoids' main space station

News: N/A

Where: Thargoid Space Station, Miacke (37,144)

BBS Message: N/A

Prerequisites: None

Reward: A Thargoid ship of your own and loads of Alien Artefacts

The large amount of fuel you got before setting off for Polaris will now come in very handy! You are told about the INRA mycoid vaccine store in Hotice (-3,-2), and are given an MB4 to pick up the vaccine.

When you have finally arrived in Hotice, you should go to Hotice 1. Get within laser range of the dome, and blow it up with your plasma accelerator (there will be a bang and flames will come out of the building). Land next to the facility and deploy your MB4. It will collect some of the vaccine (check your cargo list), and you should recall the machine, and set off for Miacke.

Upon landing back at the Thargoid space station you will be thanked by the Thargoids. Wait a little, and you will be offered a Thargoid warship as a reward. You could decline their offer, but you'd have wasted your time, wouldn't you? The Thargoids tell you to go into time acceleration while they build your ship. When it is finished, they will thank you again. Launch, and set off for Alioth (0,4) to get your reward from your employers.

When you arrive in Alioth, you will have to manually fly your ship to Gotham Park, which orbits Argent's Claim, because the Thargoids didn't give you a navigation computer or autopilot. There is a bug in the game, where the Thargoids have given you some 65,000 (?) tons of Alien Items, and the cargo capacity of your ship is too large, and is therefore shown as a negative number. After a little while, the program notices this and drastically revises it downwards to a point where the Thargoid isn't much use. Sell all of the Alien Items, and buy every item of equipment, 1000 shield generators, lots of passenger cabins, military fuel and chaff. The space filled by all of this cannot be stolen by the program!

Once you have equipped your Thargoid to your tastes, leave Gotham Park, and land at New Rossyth. You will be thanked by the Alliance, and allowed to keep your ship.
