Good points all, however, since they are basically
human and using our organs to upshore their systems,
adaptation would a less problem, they are even ahead
of our organ transplant systems now
also if a large group of them were here, they would
better serve themselves with all out attack, heck even
using a piece a debris to wipe the majority of pop and
bring us down to a more primitive tech system(we know
they do have quislings among us,)
in fact why even use earth at all except for organs
with what little we have seen of their tech, stay on
Mars or someoether planet and terraform,

their weapons tech for large systems are
different(maybe using the grav drive?) but they are
using projectile weapons for conflict resolution

I agree they are desparate but if they were all here
in a big setup, using a large raider fleet to wipe out
the pesky earthers' defense structure would be better,
wipeout moonbase and SID and take potshots at us from
out of the grav well, safe and secure,and keep
harvesting us

why just these small units?
because that is all they can transport at a time,

these being are smart but basically human
therefore my reason not a large force in our system
if the are all here even if after cannabalizing a
home/mothership, they able to keep producing the
raiders, doesnt make sense, if they are mining the
asteroids or something, would be easy to drop rocks,
lol
(in our XCOM BRP RPG, we evolved this after awhile and
retconned it alot)

if they have brought only a limited number of raiders
then a swift strike would still be best, let's face it
they are way ahead of our lunar base force, and
droping rocks or even shooting debris at moon would
make life easier, but they dont probably because they
cant
they don't have a appreciable force here
they are desparate but not stupid
so here is how I see it, we know the turna round is
at most a decade, from the first episode they were
able to determine an organ belonged to a
maincharcaters sister that disappeared a decade ago,
do they do surgury on the raiders, hmmm that is an
idea
no, I think they go back home or too a small setup
somehwere between home and here, but to guarantee
survival they would be somewhere safe, nowhere close
to us pesky earthers
we know that from the same episode not all of the
aliens are in the liquid the same amount of time,
are they searching elsewhere, maybe, but as strongly
as they are here, we are a great resource
they can produce only a limited amount of raiders and
are tossing them at us as they can, for resource
collection
they can't wipe us out as they dont have the
capability, they ae not here, not yet

hey this is fun, thank for the ideas, might see if the
group would like to remake the xcom game,lol
