I think we have it wrong by assuming the ships are coming to attack (initially). The dark said they’d be coming to see us soon so I’m thinking this is why we’re seeing the ships on the radar in the bunkers.
The dark just wants to talk for right now. Probably going to say we’re the perfect shape and want to give us power to reign supreme over the vex and win the game of life. They just came with a show of force.
Possible scenario is the pyramid ship becomes a social space or mission area like the dreadnaught. And eris dies along the way or turns into Savathun.
This sets up D3 with the dark already here and can attack whenever but also flip everything and help us fight the vex/sav/etc as the end game boss and all the while we were balancing light and dark and finally become legend and go into our own pocket universe as a game of life champion

<Please, the Darkness wants to kill us all. Anyone who willingly joins will end up being backstabbed. We ain't winning the game, the Pyramids are.>
