So why are we fighting again?

[CMDR Heydan Seegil]

I am revising my answer. I thought that since I was just rescuing people in escape pods that the Thargoids would not attack me. Especially since I've never handled a meta-alloy, artifact, probe, relic, or other alien object. However, just now I saw one and it grabbed the escape pod before I could abducting the human inside. Then they shot at me.

So I suppose I'll have to consider this issue further, but it appears they are not the defenders but truly are the aggressive and war like.

So far we've had several releases giving us the opportunity to brawl with our old 6 legged enemigos. However we haven't really gotten a compelling reason to attack them. I mean sure, we have a few zapped bases and uncountable numbers of NHSSs filled with the debris of human ships. But this could just be an unfortunate series of misunderstandings. Don't get me wrong! I'm ready to bring the pew, but I've yet to see a compelling reason to do so. My home systems aren't being threatened. The bubble is largely untouched, and the aliens only fire if I provoke them, despite having killed at least a dozen of them single handed. They are a forgiving bunch, I'll say that much for them.

I guess what I'm saying is: what's my motivation here? Should we expect the real invasion fleet soon? Will all hades be breaking loose in bubble? Or is this game of footsies in the Pleiades "it"?

Yeah, and everyone knows Dr. Gaius Baltar was a alien loving ^!%#$^!

however some serious attacks on stations and bases would be awesome.

The day thargoids drop loot and advanced gear to fit on your ship, people will engage them.
Yes, i know ED isn't that game, and fair 'nuff really. I'm not complaining.
But it's difficult to implement this in an interesting way, so i struggle to criticize FD on this occasion.
Perhaps simply speeding up the whole story thing a bit would help.
It's like reading "war and peace" one page a week.
There's no dynamic, no flow...and that will kill even the best story.

Hopefully it does get moving a bit faster, but feels like this will be the pace till conclusion. *Yawns*
