Request for Thargoid/Guardian materials to be tradable at material traders.

Since there’s currently very little use for these materials beyond unlocking tech broker modules and restocking specialty weapons, I think it would be very good to be able to exchange them for more useful materials.

If possible (within the game’s programming, I mean), you could make exchanges one-way only, so that we could trade alien materials to receive human ones, but not vice-versa. That way, players would still have to put the work into unlocking hybrid modules and the like.

I think that this would be a very good addition to the game, because currently there is not much incentive for Thargoid hunting besides the challenge it offers. The time/effort required does not translate into a proportionately large reward, either in credits or other resources. If a pilot wants to engineer their ship and hunt aliens, they basically have to split their time between pursuing these two goals; whereas a bounty hunter, miner, mercenary, planet-surface-explorer or human-signal-source explorer can acquire at least SOME useful materials in the normal course of their activities.

Just started hunting scouts to gain quick rank (currently Master) collected mats dropped from scouts after killing them, they are useless as regards synthesising ammo, after a bit of research found out where to harvest the mats needed for premium upgrades and it turns out it is the same old grind before another grind. I think trading in thargoid and Guardian mats alone and no cross trading would be an idea, would mean setting up a new network of traders and probably difficult to do within the games current implications. To be honest the effort required to harvest enough of the correct mats outweighs the rewards. What do you think?
Is there a definitive list of locations for all Thargoid and Guardian mats?

I would be fine with that. I am nearly maxed for all Thargoid mats and have no use for them. I don't synthesize AX reloads. Just add a few more llines to the manufactured and data traders to include the Thargoid/Guardian stuff.

My guess is that they don't allow it because they don't want people to completely skip guardian site play. If people could trade for blueprints, many would.

Perhaps when we can walk around in stations they might have a “Trade your Thrag Mats Here” stand With a dodgy looking alien in a human body suit making strange droning and whooshing noises whilst trying to speak English.
