Elite Dangerous’ warfare with its very personal existential menace is heating up. The Thargoids reappeared in Frontier’s space sim last year, and sightings, and extra importantly conflicts, have been cropping up throughout the galaxy.
A bunch of intrepid Elite gamers have spent months studying the Thargoids.
But one participant has determined that violence will not be the choice, and is as an alternative choosing a extra diplomatic method. Player Benjamin “Heisenberh6626” Bahr has been engaged on a method of speaking with the Thargoids, even when Frontier haven’t allowed for this sort of method in-game.
In an thread on the Elite forums, Bahr means that although “we currently have no in-game methods of contacting the aliens known as Thargoids, I propose we at least make sure that Frontier realizes there are CMDR’s who attempt to do this on a roleplaying level.”
Bahr has spent a 12 months researching the Thargoids, culminating in Project Mercury. The venture is Bahr’s try to speak with the aliens, utilizing sounds taken from them and the reverse-engineered to create photos transformed into sounds. The video above exhibits Bahr delivering that message to a Thargoid ship, however sadly it’s not truly being relayed in-game.
Despite the arms race happening throughout the galaxy between the Thargoids and humanity, Bahr claims that his extra diplomatic method hasn’t come too late. In an interview with Kotaku, he claims “it’s never too late to start talking to each other.”
Initial makes an attempt to make contact with the Thargoids have been surprisingly restrained, however when a subtler approach didn’t really work, it didn’t take lengthy for gamers to start fighting back. One earlier participant did work out that some Thargoids simply appeared to be hungry, and that they might be tempted to chow down on choose in-game resources.
