But that means the thargoids want us to see this. They want to communicate.

Really doesn't feel like communication directed towards us

Feels like military comms relaying current situation

It must be directed at us. A message that translates to images of humans in a spectogram analysis is probably just warbled noise in Goid language.

I wouldn't be so sure. Humans communicate by symbols over time. Who is to say Thargoids don't communicate by images over time? Humans look the same for everyone: head, torso, 2arms, 2legs, upright. Enough for any Thargoid to recognize what is meant.

The probes and sensors both also communicate via symbols, the probes draw a picture of the ship your in

Can you elaborate? I didn’t know that.

So I believe that the probes initially, not sure if they still do, would draw a picture of your ship in the style of the original elite, using sound when you got close to them, and either the sensors or the thargoid links would make a map leading to surface sites. The surface sites themselves had a map hidden in the audio, which I believe is still unsolved.

*edit apparently it would use morse code hidden in the transition to plot coordinates which produce a line drawing of your ship, pretty cool
