any clue on this? just did a quick convert octal -> decimal -> ascii and got this gibberish:

faclor
hultai
torl s
faccer

couldn't be bothered to try other combinations ...

ok, could be just coords to a ship model representation, like the unknown thingies did ... weren't that octal numbers too? would make sense for a scanner.
 
It's ok folks, I can translate the code. It says:

"We've had so many complaints that the puzzles are too hard to solve so we've had to bring in the scanners which will translate this for everyone.

But we know how much a lot of you like the puzzle, so we've timed the release of the scanners a few days after this so you can have a solid go at it before it's removed!

Yours sincerely,

FDev."

:p
 
Spent some time with Thargoids near Maia in an unarmed ASP, unaligned to any power(distress calls and non-human SS). They only deploy their hardpoints (the swarm) and attack if you get too close. If you keep your distance, they call back the swarm. Red is bad (I'm comin' for you), green is ok (stay out of my way). They seem to be collecting Thargoid Probes in particular.
 
I was Hyperdicted by a wing of 3 Thargoids...

Just before I started recording, the one you see moving away fired off an EMP before it did so, but the other 2 remained... just... looking at me, following me, not doing anything :O

So thank god UPs are easier to get now from these T5 USS.

what's different about the T7 USS?

EDIT: I suppose we call these NHS?

Also the Thargoid tissue claims to be highly sought. 14k/t doesn't seem that sought....

Thargoids take imperial slaves and slaves! I've uploaded a video demonstrating it sucking up slaves (I forgot for the imperials, but same behavior). Clearly, they want specimens!

Another idea - someone should offer up political prisoners. That's the last human carrying item I think there is in-game.

Edit: And hostages!

I recorded the morse at the Imperial distress call in HR 1185 if anyone wants to decode it

Isolated the clicks from the morse code, buuut...
