Thargoid interactions

[Vicktore Beskor]

Hello commanders

I would like to ask a simple question...

Should Thargoids effect the BGS???

i vote there their actions should effect the BGS and i would like to go on record to say i hope that we have to fight off a full fleshed out invasion. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FDev make the thargoids actions have a true effect on the games minor factions as well as power play. If they are only in game for the shock value it will get old quick then justed ignored over time. But if the thargoids are here to claim territory and start to expand inward then that would be really cool.

well those are just my thoughts on the subject what do you all think???

Ahaha. Bahahaha.

Ah man. Good read. Really. But no, they won't. They are a force people can elect to entirely ignore. Ergo can be rendered irrelevant. Have to ensure people can choose to be invaded or not.

lol. Frontier have already decided (probably due to the endless nerfing of AI previously) that the community as a whole cannot cope with anything remotely close to an actual threat, so have parked some pretty amazing experiences hundreds of light years out, lest people become offended.

Agreed!

I feel the Thargoids should be a minor faction and expand and retreat like all minor factions that way we as players can work for and or against them. If they are just random encounters them I feel FDev is just wasting time on them. I want to fight the good fight against a real invasion against real invaders.

A real invasion, one that would see systems taken over/destroyed/interacted with is the only way to effect the BGS, and I'm sure that FD won't allow that for the simple reason that it will force interaction upon players. There would be wailing and crying in the forums! "My home system was overrun, I lost my ship, my faction was demoted, whine whine whine.....". We know that FD doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to do that, the uproar would be huge. Technically I think it would be relatively simple, those systems effected by the Thargs would be in a WAR state, then be removed from the BGS once taken over. Anyway, pretty sure none of that will happen, Thargs will be in their own little corner of the galaxy, interaction would be solely up to the commander.

I doubt they will all that interested in doing delivery or even passenger missions...
