Hi star dude:
Do you have any idea why they would attack us. Please reply to me.
Well I do have some ideas. Most of my personal memories don't get to deep into the reasons behind everything but I once knew a woman with answers to a lot of questions and she was able to provide some insight.
Things differ between timelines but it is probable the race that came had two factions, peaceful scientists and explorers and those that wanted to build an empire through military force. In my timeline it was the conquers that showed up but in others a peaceful group of scientists shows up to study our diverse biosphere, I believe they even help to fabricate a defense against the others of their kind.
Why they come here is simple, we have food.
If we go out into the stars we can terraform planets to be breathable to us and grow food on their surfaces but the aliens feed on magnetic fields and you can't just make those without cracking open planets and adding insane amounts of energy to melt planetary cores and start them rotating.
I believe that Faster Than Light travel is actually fairly easy and we don't understand it due to some basic flaws in our math, calculus the basis of modern physics is built upon approximations of values and not exact numbers and other such things. If travel is cheap and easy and any kind of terraforming is very expensive and time consuming then well it is easier to shoot a frontier farmer and take his farm than it is to clear, till and plant your own farm. especially when the farmer has a bow and arrow and you have a plasma rifle.
Either way I don't think it is out of malice or fear, we are just another dot on a map.
