What if Thargoids were playable?

Oh that would be awesome. At this moment I'd take a fleet to sol lay waste to the FDEV headquarters lol.

Turns out after flying through Earths atmosphere, that the Thargoid ships only work in space or ammonia atmospheres, kind of like War of the Worlds. They probably know that and haven't attacked the surface infrastructure yet.

Realistically? Nothing would change apart from visuals. Instead of Asps, Pythons and Anacondas you would fly Basilisks, scouts and interceptors. There would be one and single cockpit layout, no matter what ship you would be in. We don't know how their homeworld is organized so we don't know if they have space station or surface installations (hmm... ruins we have may work as one). We don't know what they trade if they trade. So basically we would get reskins.

At first it would be hype. Something new. But for the balance reasons it would be set you can't replicate original maneuvers and we would have same strange rubber band controls, with sloooooooooooooow turning rates.

For thagroids to be playable it should be made totally whole new game. Seeing how FDEVs struggle with implementing carriers...

I didn't see any topics like this, so forgive me if it's been brought up a million times.

If we were all given a second profile slot per account for the purpose of making a Thargoid pilot, how cool would that be?

Imagine that there were a Thargoid equivalent of The Bubble somewhere. Imagine stations or "Mother ships " they/we could use. Imagine Thargoid factions controlled by players attacking stations and megaships instead of a server tick doing it automatically. A whole new kind of pvp. Crazy Thargoid engineering, the works.

I would like to see an expansion that includes all that someday. Sorry again if this is like the millionth topic about it, like I said I didn't see any.

I'd hate it if Thargoids were playable.
All the mystery would be gone and suddenly they would be just humans with a 'costume'. Some would be gankers and griefers and combat logger... just like the rest of us.

This should never, ever happen!!!!!
It would kill the whole Thargoid part of the game for me.


Just imagine watching an Aliens movie and during the movie they would show you a guy putting on a costume and practicing his alien hisses and growls. Terrible.
