i wasn't speaking about Thargoids, but rather lifeforms drifting in space (was added this year or last year during an update), they cannot move, they are useless but they exist, different types including crystal microorganism (like the Ice Crystals, Metallic Crystals, Silicate Crystals).
also when i say it looks like Elite Dangerous, that's because the space stations looks like Coriolis stations, the whole scavenger drones is the same system as in ED, they even use the term "FTL" like in ED, and this specific chapter was a crystal copy of a typical hunt in ED (as in detecting an FTL signature, locking on to it, getting out of hyperspace, fighting and eventually some ships fleeing in hyperspace in the same manner) etc...
of course i'm not saying everything looks like Elite Dangerous but a lot of things are inspired by it.
