Sounds great with no more U-bombing. Also we can now we can sell Thargoid toys legally.
But "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes". Written maybe ~25 BC accredited by historians with some guy named Virgil. Translated basically into English means "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts". Beta has added more Thargoid immersion so when it goes live we are going the have Thargoid meetings maybe sooner than later.
My totally emotional opinion which has nothing to do with facts. Maybe multi-crew didn't on release work out as the Devs planned. Wings gathering were also a mess per instancing but going with Squadrons in Beta maybe the Devs feel they have figured this out. We'll see. So if everything works we are going to need players to get together to take out the Thargoid advance. Maybe the Devs are looking for ways for all or us to play together is their long term goal.
Still there are those , "I love Thagoids" nameplates in the Frontier store. Seems if one gets friendly with the insects in the future we may have access to Thargoid weapons. If they really like a player they might dispatch a swarm of ships for our use and support Scouts.
Just thinking out of the box but the next year playing with the Thargoids is going to be interesting. Squadrons devoted to engaging Thargoids? Hmm...
