Agreed.

I have always thought of it as - the aliens come from a vast outpost on one of our outer planets, thus their ships only need to travel at conventional speeds, and thus it dispenses with the anomaly of our ships performance vs their ships performance.

I like to think of it as their race came to our solar system a long time ago in an aging multigenerational starship, and they settled onto one of our outer planets, forming a vast network of underground tunnels and caverns, etc. A complete homeworld burrowed underground. They've literally taken over Pluto or one of the satellites of one of the gas giants, and from there they look inward at us on our warm fertile world with envy....

I've always wanted to write a story about that, but somehow I never get the time and motivation.

I know it goes against what's written in the scripts, but it makes it more believable in my own mind.

In regards to the propulsion of the alien craft, I've always felt they had a
base ops in our solar system from which the little ships we've come to know
and hate arrived. A mother ship probably comes from their own system - which
is likely yes, light years away!
