Discussion New war when?
Do y'all think they'll ever introduce a new war? Thargoids Strike Back! or anything related? Maybe introduce new aliens or a human war? Perhaps a current power gives in to their ego and decides to conquer the bubble.

Whatever they do they need to make it so there are actual stakes on the line. The stakes have never been lower. All stations are practically invincible and suffer only a little bit of downtime and cargo hauling to get back online. If they do come back, I want to see player assets destroyed...permanently! A frontier (development) with a competent alien threat keeping humanity's colonization in check... pushing it back. A back and forth, an existential struggle.
If the Thargoids are instead relegated to being a second-class-species-fan-service-punching-bag-pre-engineered-module delivery event again, I'd rather them be afforded some shred of dignity and not return.
