A veteran Elite Dangerous commander has ignited discussion about expanding Thargoid gameplay to include on-foot encounters. Currently, players only experience human characters on foot, while Thargoids remain confined to ship-based interactions. The commander draws on Thargoid biology and codex lore to suggest that introducing Thargoids in ground-based scenarios—such as attacking settlements or engaging in operations—could deepen the alien threat and diversify gameplay. This conversation highlights ongoing player interest in richer, more varied alien interactions within the evolving Elite Dangerous universe.
- Current gameplay limits on-foot activity to human characters only.
- Proposal suggests Thargoids could appear in ground combat or settlement attacks.
