  Also could just be determined exterminators or want to diversify diet.

    Exterminators could just throw a rock at 0.1c no need to land.

    Diet though, reminds me of the Peter Jackson masterpiece, Bad Taste.

      That’s a damn understatement.

      Just the UZI through the stomach. To imagine that’s the dude that made the LOTR films…

      You could see some of his old self in The Hobbit when the ogre king falls to his deathand splats down on the ground. That film was a stinker, though, Jackson should go back to doing comedic gore.

      This is now a cinema appreciation thread btw.

      Yes but Not landing means they have no love for the game. You cant spell slaughter without laughter and it funnier to see it all happen on world. Plus who knows how long until next purge. Sometimes you have to handicap your self to enjoy the game against inferior opponent.

        I mean what’s the point of plasma weapons if you can’t see the “oh shit” moment on the face of the inferior species you are destroying?

        Ok, perhaps they come from some Hunter Planet, searching for bars of pure Mars.

  Perhaps they’re after the resources which aren’t so common elsewhere, like oxygen. Maybe they would turn Earth into an oxygen farm.

    Water is common out there, pretty simple to get oxygen.

    Wood. Hard wood usable for building hasn’t evolved anywhere else in the known galaxy. Fine wooden furniture imported from Earth. The Amazon is being cut down and exported to alien worlds.
