So are we now going to start calling them TA, TP and TL?

lol. TA must have been a typo. Surely he meant TS. I wouldn't mind a TL. I bet you could fit a couple Panther Clippers in one.
I was all excited for a moment - thought we had a new line of Lakon T-ships.
As we now know that UA, UP and ULs are all Thargoid technology...
Continuing to call them 'unknown' is now a bit silly...
Oh... And TS... Thargoid Structure
TJ = Thargoid Janitor CONFIRMED!
It all makes sense now...
Once a name has widespread use, humans are innately conservative and keep using that name, even when the reasons for assigning that name no longer apply. Take the native Americans, who for several centuries were called "Indians", despite fairly strong evidence even within Columbus' lifetime that the American islands were not just off the coast of India. Or the building in Amsterdam that is still called the "Nieuwe Kerk" (new church), even though it was built in the early 1400s and is no longer used as a church, so neither of those words in its name are literally correct any more.
Oh you brought back memories of my highly trained Xenon fodder traders moving my manufactured munitions around the X universe. How did Elite not take more inspiration from that game. The perfect space game, all it needed was a multiplayer persistent universe tacking on.
I want my own factories, waaaaaahhhhh.
