Anyone tried teasing them with a Soontill Relic yet? ;)

Edit - and if it's not been mentioned yet, maybe try dropping a Relic then shooting it. (Pre and post Thargoid scan of it) :)

I have a Soontil Relic on board (and some Heike and normal tea) I have not been attacked yet, as long as I stay out of it's way. 500m seems to be when it has enough of me, not sure if it's related to the mass lock factor of your ship or not...

Tried dropping the SR and seeing what happens when the Thargoids scan it? Even if nothing else it should add a bit of evidence towards them being fakes! ;)

Edit - re-inserted the word "dropping" which had mysteriously disappeared from the post! :D

Seems I always attract attention when I try to keep my distance and observe. Maybe it's because I have a UP on me. It even ignored the UA I dropped in order to scan me.

Oh god i just had the most terrifying experience, I dropped into a Non human 5, proceeded to get scanned by the goid.....I left it to its whatever it was doing and when it had collected all the canisters...Well it attacked me, I tried to run away and let me just say It followed me over 20km from the site.....And i couldnt get past 2km away from it as it would catch up I ended up having to high wake to escape. Note not a single shot fired by me...I just stayed targetted on it and it reacted after the pick ups....I've had one do that before...But not chase me as far as this one did it literally wasnt gonna stop
I also stayed away from it other than its scan of me....3 other sites and they all ignored me...This one was seemly "chasing me"

They scan the canister and then turn away and carry on scanning everything else. They also weren't interested in either of my offering of tea :(

Asterope, grade 5. They have drones, missiles, some splash weapons (red and yellow). DD G5 or else...
Hull 81 but all modules 100%. Going back with weapons turned off.

Edit: Several threat 5 at once!
One is full of dead Cutters and Clippers. No Tharg. Strange noise in Cutter. Metal banging.
Second one the same as above but with Tharg. Tried to look into his eye, he got mad.
Third one as above, now he fires all weapons at once. I am out of here.

Quick addition to the batch of scanned numbers (interdiction event);

040 165 156 164 162 145 164 162 145 146 141 143 143 145 162 164 141 151 040 165 156 156 000 000
Converts to ;

My guess it that it's PLEIADES with a sector reference pointing to another system.

If you have any Thargoid corrosive cargo on you when they scan you, they will go hostile and attack. If you have nothing of the sort in the cargo hold and deploy weapons (they also go hostile if you have no weapons but deploy hardpoints for manifest scanner, limpets etc.), they go hostile (if you're quick you can retract and they don't attack - just launch Thargons). If you come to close, they go hostile and attack (again if you back off quick, you don't get attacked, only Thargons launched).

3rd encounter: No weapons, flew backwards, played the Scanned Signals from the Thargoid base, it stayed green = friendly
4th encounter: No weapons, hold position, no actions. It turned red = hostile, began firing on me, played signals to no effect. Federal Corvette exploded.

Was carrying corrosive with a tissue sample on 3rd & 4th encounter.

Do they all have the barnacle symbol on their...face? If not could be we are encountering the two different factions and they react differently. Otherwise I'm not sure how we could tell them apart.

I just jettisoned synthethic meat before a thargoid. It scanned the meat and it really didn´t like it :( Was just trying to give it an alternative food source. Maybe Fruits will work...

Not necessarily, I've deployed hardpoints to run the data link scanner on one after being interdicted, not data, but also not hostile.
