[RP] Project Mercury: Reverse-Engineering a Thargoid Sensor to contact the Aliens

Don't be a party pooper, besides, Fdev could let us talk to the thargoids and it doesn't have to change what they have planned, the goids can just ignore, or not even understand, our attempts to communicate.

Or agree to meet somewhere. A GalNet article informs CMDRs of a large instance in open space (with an increased player cap) that will appear as the staging ground at XX:XX hours, with a one hour wait. A mothership appears, releases interceptors as "thargons" who further release their thargons, and everyone is massacred.

And that ended well?

What would you rather watch for entertainment value?

Good work.

Frontier, please add some ways for players to communicate and interact peacefully with the Thargoids.

We can give them items, but it should go further than that. Add a Thargoid faction to Powerplay.


The second one without the clothes. :eek:

All joking aside, I think an interactable Thargoid faction in PP would be a bad move.. it'd rob them of any 'alien-ness' and turn them into another bland uninteresting faction.

I dunno man... I dont think anyone needs to see a naked Forest Whitaker.

Huh? That's a woman not a bloke :p

What's that 1st gif from btw?

To answer your question, the 1st then leading to the 2nd after we've massacred each other to a stalemate!
 

I am 100% confident that there's room for both, because both have entertainment value :)

Remember there's two Thargoid hives - Oresrians that have worked with humanity in the past (and if my theory is right, still are) and Klaxians who are "warlike" and hunting the Oresrians across the galaxy and by all account will happily chew through any humans that get in the way.

If you want to get meta about it - I'm reading this as Fdev code for; "You get to be friends with one group of aliens while blasting the other".

So don't fear Goose4291, you'll still get to bug hunt.

Elite Dangerous Commanders I have encountered my first aliens. They scanned me then went back to scavenging wreckage taking escape pods and Thargoid materials leaving everything else. I believe they are studying us as well as we are studying them. I also believe that as they currently don’t kill us outright; they scan us, then continue what they were doing. They don’t consider us a threat but more of a nuisance like we would look at a fly that we would kill only when it bites or flys around us not leaving us alone. I fully support this project mercury I been hearing about and believe wholeheartedly that we must communicate and prove that we are not a bug for swatting. We are humans and hello! But I teach for a living and not only communication but interpersonal communication is need as well. Whether dealing with animals or humans if you say something and your body language and actions don’t back it up no-one or thing will believe your sincerity, people won’t trust and animals will bite (fight or flight response). I believe we should get guns ready, big ones because while some of us try peace and communication first and at the same time other commanders go out and shoot at them it sends two signals which makes our friendly approach not believable. For this reason no matter what I believe war is not avoidable. But if everyone stops the violence and sends one signal then I believe we would have a chance. Unfortunately, we have free will and people like to shoot things. Get ready for war get ready to run.
 
Can/should we send them the chemical compositions of ammonia and water?
Something like:

Thargoid wireframe -> ammonia chemical composition

then

Human -> water chemical composition

then

Any of our ships' wireframe -> 'whatever is the main material they are made of' chem composition.
