Thargoid CG's feel... early

[Enderby]

it let' em have the odd megaship

 

[Surprised Brony]

Seen all of those megaships destroyed by thargoids? There's logs on them talking about the Thargoids turning up, and just murderising their masive ship full of potentially thousands of people.

They try the escape pods, but then get captured by thargoid ships and done... who knows what with.

The Thargoids are cracking open huge ships full of humans, and sucking them out.


They haven't attacked Sol yet, no, but...

Come now, you know we haven't seen them destroy them with our own eyes yet, there's no conclusive proof, etc. No one will even care about the escape pod thing. They might not know what it is!

There seems to be a discrepancy between the pace of the story and the pace of new "story relevant" community-goals emerging.


Story adavncing: about once a month, if at all.

New CG: each week.

Also CG's could us a bit of a face lift.

It would help if the Thargoids came to the forum and just ........ talked [alien]

I was kinda hyped for the Thargoids arrival, but to be honest, I had to go and hunt them down, and even though they shot me first, on my first ever encounter with them (and destroyed my FDL!), they don't actually seem hostile to me.....

See, that's something else that irritates me from the perspective of somebody playing a video-game.

We're being given all these new toys and my knee-jerk reaction is to buy them.
And then I think about which ship I'm going to fit them to and end up deciding that I don't want to compromise any of my existing load-outs by fitting weapons that are going to annoy the Thargoids.
So I then think about buying a ship specifically to use as a "bug stomper".
It's probably going to be a big, expensive, ship and then I'm going to spend more credits on A-rating it, and spend a bit of time engineering it.
And then I'm going to throw all the AX weapons at it, along with some regular weapons.

And then I'm going to..... what?

Why would I feel compelled to do all that when I can just, y'know, ignore non-human USS's if I want to instead?

I dunno if I could solo a Thargoid ship but it'd be risky and, for what?
Just for the warm fuzzy feeling of accomplishment?

When I hear that they're shooting up stations and laying waste to populated systems, I'll be there (in my Corvette) like a rat up a drainpipe.
Not because of any RP sense of duty but because that sort of scenario would be fun from the perspective of somebody playing a video-game.

In the mean-time, it's all too easy to avoid to make the effort required to get involved.

Again, if there'd been an overt attack from the start, I might've felt a bit differently but, meh.
