This is more about trying to turn us into... Yeah.
MeowersThargoids harvesting people, putting them in pods to infect with something and then use for invasion... No, FDev game designers don't play Baldur's Gate 3 that has been released a month ago, no no no, just a coincidence.
Yuna SakashiroBroken Messif we ever actually get ground AX gameplay added that is.
I think we will, but maybe not the way most people would expect. FDev recently kept mentioning that the Thargoids aggressively collect occupied escape pods as if they were the hottest snack since meta-alloy.
How do you avoid the potential goofiness of a tentacled alien foot soldier that doesn't crawl along walls and ceilings like H.R. Giger's dildo-headed xenomorph? By making the alien foot soldier look like a human being, augmented with alien tech. Still scary, but much easier for the art department to pull off. All the settlement interiors and doors automatically fit, mocap files can be reused, pathfinding and A.I. can remain unchanged. Why would the Thargoids get their tentacles dirty if they can just send our captured brothers and sisters back to us as mind-controlled drones?
PahlSkrzetuskiHey guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle. Last time that I played the game, I docked into a random player's carrier and left the game. I logged back in today and found that he essentially carried me a huge distance closer to the galactic core from where I was before. I was originally doing some mining in an area that was more dense in star systems and I didn't require long distance jump capabilities, so my Python is now too heavy to make the journey back to where I was because the distance between star systems is much too large for me to be able to make those jumps myself. I also have a cargo hold full of expensive minerals but dumping the cargo didn't help much, as I still cannot make jumps that are larger than 16 light years.
I already checked the player who owns the carrier but he didn't check into the game for almost 2 months now so I'm not sure if he'll even respond if I approach him about dropping me off at some space station.
What would you guys suggest that I do? Would anyone be able to help out and pick me up from where I am right now or am I basically screwed and have to self-destruct? Will that even return me to an actual space station or am I just gonna respawn back at the same carrier?
Skrzetuski,
What system are you in?
Yuna SakashiroBtw, FDev should take that idea one step further and release a game that lets you play a thargoid. Make it simple like CQC: no progression, no grind, just pick one of the currently available thargoid ships or a human drone and play the other side of AX combat, in open mode, against the ED community.I've had that idea on my mind already. Though... I think, even making it a 2D mobile game for low-tier phones is a tough call for FDev. But, as far as I know, the 10th year of their agreement is going to end soon, and eradicating our version of virtual humankind by

Yuna SakashiroSink ED? Nah, there's nothing to replace it.No one will hear this until the players' wallets speak
Kasumi GotoMoving the rescue ships closer to the front? Why do I feel like that will result in disaster sooner rather than later?
Maybe Frontier will actually fix missions only going to three of them every time at last, though…
Yuna SakashiroI think ED is still making money. Thanks to the P2P design, FDev can keep it running with a tiny number of servers and minimum staff. Legacy Horizons is a test run for this.

More like because the front starts to move backwards. But yes, sounds like disaster.

But I still feel there may just be some problems later on… at the very least, until we bring those totally safe and not altered humans back from the Titans.
