How did they manage to understand our language ? /quote]
How they understand our language: The same way, when exploration on earth first began, humans from vastly different countries learnt to communicate with eachother, with a lot of effort, and likely in the goids case, a computer based pattern recognition device running across every document on the galaxy-spanning internet to form a coherent understanding of our languages.

I have no doubt the Thargoids are highly intelligent, and more than capable of basic pattern recognition comprehension. That being said, It hasn't been confirmed if they have evaluated, understood, or even received our communications.
This goes back to the initial dilemma: They are unable to communicate, or they are unwilling to communicate.
If there is one form of communication that has had a definitive impact, it is our physical actions. Sadly, our actions have not been entirely peaceful. Thus, a snowball effect of retribution forms from both our species.

Unfortunately any attempts at communication will only go through official channels, and those messages or exchanges of messages will never actually become public knowledge.
Therein lies the snag. In an age when everyone knows everything, not a peep has been made by the leaders at large about communication with the Thargoids. Why? Well, your guess is as good as mine.
But if you ask me, war lines the pockets of the vendors and manufacturers far better than peace does. Just ask the shipyards that built all those Farraguts and Interdictors.

Don't mean to change the subject but this has been nagging at me. Found out something interesting here in Colonia. Don't know how widespread the knowledge is considering it's distance from the Thargoids, but doesn't it seem strange that Jaques' is the only station out here that carries Guardian tech?
The only station with jump drive capability in all of human space, if I remember correctly?

Regarding the previous comments on their non-communication, I think we should also consider just how different an alien race might be. Humans are also intelligent beings with the ability to understand new languages and general pattern recognition, but we've also been unable to crack their language.

I think Jaques' is the only one that when properly fueled would be ready to rock right now.

Right now he's in the Lave system doing missions, getting ally ranking in those who control it in hope to acquire another tipoff mission.
there are still the permit locked systems that cannot be accessed because they require unknown permits. Though there are two systems, Dryio Flyuae IC-B c1-377 and Scheau Bli NB-O d6-1409 that require security permits from unknown sources. Though the fdev are very clever in making it hard to do so.

Whatever the case these players are attempting to reach ally rank with all the player factions. On top of that, they think that these tipoff missions are tests to prove yourself to The Dark Wheel. Not to the one that is located in Shinrarta Dezhra but to the one in legends.

Bjorn Gudmundson"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes." - Maj. General Smedley D. Butler, USMC (1881-1940)
He wrote a hell of a book too.

...snipped...
There is also a third possibility...They just don't care. Like if insects from Earth were sentient and tried to communicate with us. We look at them as so small and insignificant, they mean little to nothing. We could be the same to The Thargoids.
Just a thought...
