This game stinks
What if the aliens come from a species which does not even understand war the way we do? Like they come from a planet where nothing kills other things, and the whole concept is foreign to them. They would meet us and think "Oh! Another intelligent race? It must think exactly like we do, since that is all we can fathom. I will try to communicate by gently poking it, as is my custom." and then we think "Oh poo poo, issa fish frog thingy. Kill it!" and then Pa blows the alien away. Then the entire alien race thinks "oh, wow. That human must have accidentally killed our friend while it was trying to communicate. What a strange race this is! Let's try to gently poke them and hopefully they will get the message" and then we will kill them all and the last one to die will think "oh, that poor human must feel so awkward after destroying the last of our race! I wish I could poke him to apologize."

That, or the first aliens to reach us will be so far away from their homeworld that we will all be dead and gone by the time the rest of their race can avenge their deaths. Think about it: when we visited the moon did we bring guns? Hell no. If moon monsters killed the first astronauts, there wouldn't be a drat thing we could do about it, and by the time we got the technology to nuke the moon, why would we even bother? All the moon monsters which killed the first astronauts would be dead by then anyway, and they're just stupid moon monsters. It's not like nuking the moon would fix anything.

I think aliens are advanced enough to have stuff like doctors and medicine, though.

I think the aliens probably won't really care. If they want the planet they'll just move in. We'll try and learn about them and undermine their Hive or blow up their Supercomputer because we think it'll make them leave, but then the aliens will just go "Oh, loving hell, that's an afternoon down the drain, I gotta get this place sprayed for humans", and just get a new one.

And then we'll finally kill one, and we'll think it's this big progress in the war, but then it'll turn out the aliens treat it the way we treat some old person getting stung to death by bees.

It will go down pretty much the same way that it did when Europeans colonized the Americas. Most - if not all - of us will die from a combination of their diseases, their weapons, and their discriminatory policies. Fighting the vanguard off won't accomplish much, they'll just send an even more powerful force to crush us.

Yeah, but in the meantime we can sign indecipherable contracts with them in exchange for pretty beads. Then a few hundred years from now we can open Human space casinos.

unless aliens are evil for the sake of evil they would probably just ignore us or not give a poo poo. there are no resources on earth that cant be found everywhere else. if we've been discovered by a more advanced species there's probably a huge beacon outside the solar system telling everyone to stay clear of the retards

If you and traverse large parts of the galaxy or even the universe then your can probably destroy a planet with the push of a button. Earth might get blown up by some joyriding teenage alien just for the fun of it. :jeb:
