Invader motive!

[IanD (OP)]

I have been playing in Designer mode for a while, to try and clear some of the inevitable multitude of Invader/Precursor/Star Swarm engagements when I noticed the following in the Event Updates screen:

It was flagged Race - Invader, Activity - Civilian Activity, System - Theta Persei, Event – Invader Fleet #13090 has notified Fleet Command that it intendeds to Unload Trade Goods at Earth!

Nobody told me I had a trade agreement with the Greater Darkness!!! I wonder what sort of “Trade Goods” they will try to unload on Earth? Are Invaders simply misunderstood, do they just want free trade access to your planets and because no-one can understand them, are they just rather forceful at insisting?

The invaders bring liberty!  In convenient, explosive, cylindrical packages!

Considering their First Contact routine is blowing said First Contacts into intergalactic dust, and their diplomacy consists of nothing but Pew Pew Lazorz, my bet is explosives powerful enough to destroy the entire 5 Light Years around Earth.

So, it will destroy Alpha Centauri too?

I bet it's alien artifacts. Fast, explosive alien artifacts.
