Are Thargoid's being used as a weapon?
Is some known or unknown power luring them into human occupied space?
Is the so called "war" with the Thargoid's just a cover up for something much more sinister?
Are Thargoid's really hostile towards us or just made to seem that way?
Food for thought:
Thargoid's never become hostile unless they are shown hostile behaviour (they are attacked or if you get too close).
When they hyperdict you they only scan you they don't attack.
The only times they attack is when you have something of theirs in your hull.
Scouts show up and attack NPC ships when they are transporting some unknown cargo.
Interceptors are found scanning destroyed ships looking for SOMETHING. We don't know why these ships are destroyed as we always show up after the battle.
Thargoids only cripple starports and don't destroy them outright.
When visiting Thargoid structures or bases there is no hostile behaviour shown.
My theory:
For a hostile alien race out to annihilate humanity they aren't very hostile. In fact I would even call them friendly, just a bit rude. I don't believe Thargoids are at war with us (assuming they know what war is). If they were at war they would destroy everything and kill everyone outright. We would be at their mercy fighting for survival.
Thargoids are extremely territorial and value their property to the degree I think that they would go to any means and ends to find it and retrieve it. Based on this I think by taking Thargoid stuff someone or some power is systematically luring Thargoids into the human bubble and using them as a weapon. Thargoids are just looking to take back what is theirs. We being humans have interpreted this as an invasion and have declared war.
