Anatomically speaking, out digits are at the end of our arm-like protrusions. We count on our fingers. As spider limbs don't possess any fingers, an intelligent variant would count using the 8 limbs, which we could call THEIR digits.

Oh, thank you very much.

Complete the CGs that are still outstanding to get the remaining clues, just in cast there is anything in the clues that helps with further discussion?
Oh great I just dip my toes back in this thread to see if the reports of glowing eyes on the wreck are true and I read the above
And I had clean underwear on too

Beagle point CG anyone? build a station big enough for all us cowards to hide in

So
This thing used to fly or to be space born, because it "crashed".
It used to "crush" its enemies instead maybe to "laser" them. Doesn't seem a combat ship then.
It then get enemies driven before him. What for ? Eat them ? Trepan them like in Starship Troopers ?

Hey there!!! First of all I'm sorry for my english :S (I'm spanish and I don't usually talk or write english)
I was thinking about what you said and I got my own conclussion too. As I always say, it's just an opinion so I could be wrong.
I'm agree that those 3 stars can be from the Centauri Constellation.
I've realized too, that it is a hand drawing with not too much calculations. But there are some things put there intentionally:
(Sorry, It is TAURUS not Centaurus :S)
- Watch at those points put there in perfect lane: Taurus, the center, and other 2 points. That gave me an idea, and I was looking for stars in the Stellar map that could be in lane in game too.
And I discovered these ones:
- Alpha Star in Taurus Constellation: ------------- ALDEBARAN ___________ Coord: 10: -22 : -60
- Next in lane, Alpha star in Canis Major:-------- SIRIUS ________________ Coord: 10: -2 : 0
- Center, Alpha star in Centauri Constellation: -- ALPHA CENTAURI _______ Coord: 10: 0 : 10
- I couldn't identify the last one (yet). I was considering Altair (Eagle Constallation), Deneb (Swan) , Antares (Scorpio) or Vega (Lyra).
So... We have 3 stars in lane in the Plane Sector: 10: x : x. The next thing I've realized it was about the perpendicular lane. If we have a plane 10: x : x and the Center of the intersection is ALPHA CENTAURI in 10: 0 : 10...
the perpendicular plane must be x: x : 10.
I was thinking about if it could be x: 0 : x but I'm not pretty sure about it.
So.. we have a sector in the Galaxy closed by those 2 planes in the space.
Another thing I'm still thinking about is that corvus and Sirius are in one vertex (is this correct? :S) of the octagon each one. May these 2 can give us the clue to calculate the distance to the other lanes to the sector we must indentify (the Marked Sector)
I know it's not too much. But we could work together from here

And to hear the lamentation of their women.
Back to the video, part 4. At the end, when the camera zooms on the alien thing, there is an object between the glowing "limbs" that resembles a "head" of sorts. The transmission is heavily garbled at this stage, but one or 2 frames are completely clear. You can even make out a number of roundish objects on the left side of this "head" that remind me of teeth. Note we did not find such a "head" on the planet! Unfortunately, I can only watch it on YouTube at .25 speed and got no video editing software here [noob]
Thinking about it, I am considering to support the view that the thing we found on the planet and the one in the video may have the same origin, but are different species. Duh.

I think that the barnacles are those ships growing as they would still need some mats of sorts to grow, the UAs are the seeds that get planted to create the barnacles and the probes are looking for good planets to use for this reason. Would also explain why barnacle sights for the most part are temp other then game mechanics and the merope 5c barnacle is still there because we wrecked and killed it.
This suggests that the alien ship legs crush barnacles and perhaps building structures. An enemy of the entities associated with the barnacles, UA, and UP? Not sure how the ship's legs would crush another ship in space unless it moved very fast. Unless a disabling weapon was used first (green goo?) then the legs finish the job.

people quote memes on the internet for no reason all the time. Doesn't mean anything special.
Honestly, it looks almost exactly like a Quintesson from the 80s Transformers cartoon.
Well, what I'm expecting here is a race that use bio-mechanical ships, perhaps do not uses lazors, or it uses them but do not always need them, because it has other "weapons".
Their ships are living beings, and they love RAMMING you and crunching your ship with their craws.
Or better, they catch your ship with them, and you have no escape but being reduced to bits, by their other weapons (the aforementioned lazors, green lazors).
The central bulge is missing a piece: we could usually call it the pilot cabin, but in this case, being it some kind of living ship, that piece detach when the ship collapses whether it being the pilot or the head or whatever.
Yes I know... Peace and Love...

I'm 10 pages adrift, so someone has probably helped you by now; but yes its a known bug. People have raised bugs and had them reinstated.

On the 28th I had come across a Combat Aftermath USS in the same Pleiades system with two Federation Research Labs (TII and PRE) are located (PLEIADES SECTOR IH-V C2-16). Upon investigation I have found--amid a great deal of wreckage--a fully intact ship Ghost ship with a very suspicious cockpit damage. See it here: https://youtu.be/EyY6qFIUYxM?t=3814 This was not an Adder, however, no beacon of any kind was found and the ship had very little damage aside from a nearly perfect circular hole punched or burned thru the bottom of the cockpit (body of the pilot was missing).
At a time I had thought some kind of beam or direct hit could have caused the damage but;
1. as we all know a blown out cockpit does not cause immediate death by itself as long as Emergency Life support remains in operation the pilot should have been able to escape or remain alive long enough to send a distress signal
2. a presumably Imperial Capital ship was parked less than .40LS away the USS (most likely a unit of the Imperial Merope Expeditionary Fleet along with two more Cap ships including this one hovering in close proximity to TII Research Lab (https://youtu.be/37HWeLrOB-U
Could the damage have been caused by one of these giant "legs' that was aimed at the pilot itself to "crush" him/her?
According to the System Map both of these research labs specifically forbid UA/UPs to be delivered (all ships are scanned upon approaching the station without exception).

But FDev have said the "unstoppably alien killing machine" trope is a boring cliché.

And most of Europe and its former colonies has Chingiz/Genghis Khan's DNA in its people as a result. However, that is unlikely to happen in the Thargoids' case...

It's ,upside-down - the bottom of the ship is upwards, hence the "engine vent(s)" and the direction of the Thargon "petals".
Put the bottle down.. you are still at work eh?
Are you a fellow Crom worshipper? Then ok you can drink on the job.
