Yes, i fed them around 200 slaves so far. just to observe their behavior, very insect like, get to close and they flash red and deploy drones to make themselves look bigger and present an option option of a threat, back away and drones stay out and they go back to green mode. Feed them slaves one by one you can do the breadcrumbs trick and get the flowership bouncing off the wrecks. Or feed them all at once and watch it start singing as it picks each pod up one by one. It seems the flowership has a noise for everything including, telling its drones to deploy and to board ship, it also has a noise for starting its hyperdrive sequence. Seems these flowerships are color and noise dependent and act very much like territorial insects, another trick is to hit silent running when they scan you they start talking to you and when no reply they get angry. I even engaged them in different ships to determine how they perceive threats, it seems the flowership's have been fitted for fighting the big ships and the drones are for the stuff which is to fast for it to track. You can separate both drones and the mothership over a distance, i have dog fighted one to the point where it starts chasing its own drones to keep up, ive not seen a flowership go above 400ms sustained, they seem to boost only when jumping to hyperdrive. My observations so far are the best way to stay alive in a one on one with these is a small fast well armored ship, i was using a stock fit viper mk3. Ive also observed that after a while the drones and flowership "learn" to counter your movements and will deploy a different fire pattern, after 15 minutes of close range flybys, boosting when drones got close i got a collision warning as every single drone impacted my fighter, they seem to stop trying to shoot me and instead ended up ramming me into oblivion. Il keep up my experiments till i can get a clear method to either befriend or totally confuse a thargoid into giving up its secrets.
