When the thargoids first arrived, each player played a scenario of events in their heads of what would unfold with the eminent conflict with the thargoids, I have made my own speculation that I knew wouldn’t happen ( which was the thargoids overthrowing us off our bubble and forcing us to relocate to possibly Colonia ) which I still secretly hope for regardless of how ruthless it would be to the playerbase.
I imagined months of fast construction of weaponised starports, station and ballistic fortifications and ferrying civilians to evacuation facilities( for the players not interested in fighting and favouring the traders/haulers;
More concentrated conflict zones, high value Thargoid targets and incursions(eliminate x amounts of thargoids in a sector as a community) against thargoids for the fighters;
And last but not least( and this favours all explorers as a whole ) to consolidate all known data on earth like planets and terraform candidates, and prepare the migration to rare systems that have ever been discovered.
Now there’s a lot of complications with even thinking of pulling something like this off without you actually looking at the data, but I’m willing to bet there is a cluster of discovered systems far from Sol that could be our migration destination ( maybe near colonia with a reasonable gap in between )
This would take some time to unfold but I feel it would raise the stakes and be a change of scenery, and usher a united humanity
Evacuation of habitable planets although not every soul would be saved and a last stand of humanity in Sol for brave pilots, this not only will leave revenge dripping from our teeth’s as we flee, but also make this moment in time in the Elite Dangerous universe truely memorable and make you remind yourself and others that you were there, salvaging humanity in whichever way you chose to, wether it was fending of thargoids raiding parties or joining up in incursions and covert ops, all to buy time for this logistical nightmare.
All of humanity would have to band together to fight a greater foe, combining knowledge, R&D, resources to survive, this would truely be an awesome moment in time to be playing the game and although we would have to start life in a new bubble and sure there would be losses, but what we gain is a much bigger outcome of a solid narrative to stop the squabbling amongst ourselves and coexist
After the migration has been complete, and a foothold has been established, humanity would begin to develop a new arsenal to counter the thargoids, with a special line of imperial-federal hybrids ships and weapons
And go foward with one goal in mind, to retake Sol, and eradicate the Thargoid threat
Now what I just laid out was something that would take time to complete, and after all it is my own crazy idea that I like to fantasise about, and there are faults but for a rough idea it really excites me.
Please tell me what you think and what your own idea of what turn this narrative can take.
