My god, that sums up the researchs on the UA so unbelievibly good.
The Thargoid discussion thread now with extra Thargoids !!!

Sweet: So you had a story board? I like it, could be some good propaganda to muster the troops.
You have obviously not seen the picture I took of a Thargoid on a nameless planet.
My thoughts exactly.
Video was cut after jump out of hyperspace // sensors swithced off in the modules (so you can't see the other ship) // not 100% sure yet what the dark ship was, but it wasn't thargoid.
Nice try OP - good for talking about .. not Thargoid
How will we meet the Thargoids? (game mechanic)
Hi CMDRs A 1984 Elite commander here, just wondering how the Thargoids might be implemented in the current game.
In 1984 they arrived due to a miss-jump and your ship did not arrive at the targetted system following a hyperspace jump. I remember having to tackle the large mothership and baby tharglets before another jump could be attempted. Not sure how this might work with ED, but the Fuel Rats might get even more 'customers' if the game mechanic is similar!
Any thoughts?

Quietly I hope, so its a surprise.....
I think one of the Devs or even DBobe himself said that our interection with the Thargoids would be dictated by how we react during the first encounter - my prediction is war then
Well it was certainly not quiet back in 1984. I was thinking more about the game mechanic and how their arrival might be implemented. Would it be a mini-game like an interdiction or would they arrive after a miss jump (as in ELITE back in 1984) and the player would be pulled out of supercruise ....
Level 11 of Incursions. Has anyone checked recently....?
At the Q&A at the Gamescom party, DB was asked something similar. He said he wouldn't spoil the surprise. He went into to say that it's a big galaxy and it takes time to find things. Quote.. the UA was added in 1.2 but wasn't found for ages. After hearing him, I was left with the impression they are currently out there somewhere.
Maybe be not yet as a huge empire, but out there for chance encounters.

Last time someone made such a greet it didn't end well...

I hope thargoids are introduced silently, without any announcement.
I also hope they actually inhabit some region of the galaxy, and aren't just random encounters in hyperjump mis-jumps.
I really really wanna say "Via the insurance screen" game mechanic
Probably a disruption whilst jumping between 2 systems in FSD.
