Oh yes definititely! I don't want to see any news about Thargoids being introduced.... We need to be taken completely by surprise by those suckers!
+1 to both of you. There's a lot of permit systems in deep space, would be good if explorers got random first encounters then eventually news starts spreading.... unconfirmed sitings on something mysterious of the Galnet news etc.... make it a slow build up.
I hope they remain NPCs as well, I know some people want to play as Thargoids (or in their ships) but DB says he wants them to be scary and the fear factor would disappear if we knew there was a player sitting behind a keyboard RPing a Thargoid. I hope they redesign their ships as well to look intimidating and unnatural compared to human ships.
I'm interested to see where they take the story and wonder when they'll implement them. Not just from a completion point of view but the overall narrative arch. There's currently a boiling up with the Empire and Fed and I have a feeling they're setting up in-fighting within the factions (battle for succession) which could end up being full scale war between them. It'd make sense pace wise for the Thargoids to come in during or after that.
