Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Water World hell today, I think I've had 7, here's a couple.

So, are you saying that you think 22460 is worth stealth exploring since that event took place? I mean, I could easily fly my Phantom out there and look around if that's what you think is going on.
I was planning on going in the Imp Courier, but stripping anything Guardian, so as not to rile the 'goids.
Also, cheap rebuy, as it was a Xmas gift from FDev.

I made port back in the bubble sunday after a long trip in the diamondback. I made my exobiology level to a Cataloguer with the luscious sample data. I found a couple of more lagrange clouds. Their sparkling ice crystals tried to encrust me!

Now safe in the bubble I purchased a Viper for some takedown errands and terrorist leader assassinations. But the real fun was bringing a beluga full of passengers to wait outside settlements during takedowns.

For reference 662MJ shields and 462 armour on my exploration Phantom melted in about 5 to 10 seconds when I caught fire from Thargoid Scouts. There will be scouts within a minute of exiting supercruise in system.
I was thinking Courier and 850m/s boost, but decided 4000+ armour strength and 525m/s boost stood more chance of success.
But do try it with your Courier and lets us know how you get on.

What's that mean? Are you shaking down tourists when they get on your bus? Hey, you catch that bit where I was talking about you being a reporter? I think you would be great at it and doing tours of HIP 22460 to show your customers wrecked imperial interdictors and federal battle cruisers and maybe the Thargoids recovering their occupied life pods.

I was under the impression they don't attack if you're not carrying any Guardian/Thargoid Mods/Mats. I read elsewhere too that they don't seem interested in Guardian Reinforcement Mods.
Seeing as I've never encountered a 'goid yet, it should be interesting! And the FC will be parked next door, so no biggie.

I might have to change up before I head out and take the Challenger.

The rules are different in HIP 22460. Thargoids are instantly aggressive and out to destroy you.
 
Well, that's interesting. When I hit the FSD to make the last jump, this happened:

There were three big Thargoids that let loose a wave that knocked out my power. I could hear them making that noise they always make. The power came back up and I boosted out and hit the FSD and outran them.

No damage taken.

I'm still about 7 LY from 22460. Wondering if I should try to jump in again or just turn around and go home.

Needless to say, this means they are now OUTSIDE of 22460.

That is a NORMAL hyperdiction...

They are still non aggressive...

The 2nd attempt will not have a hyperdiction, in my experience...
