Today I collided with a Thargoid Interceptor while scanning it. As a result, it immediately released its swarm and attacked me, long before I was ready to target its heart. It also started moving erratically, making it hard to complete the scan.
So I thought, well, this is for learning about them, not so much for the bounty, let us just try shooting at it. I have two turreted AX multicannons, and as long as I was able to sustain the fire with those, its health dropped. Only when it outmaneuvered me did it recover, though quickly.
Now, the obvious question from this is: If you attack an Interceptor with a pack f 3-4 ships, wouldn't it be easier to just thrash it down with constant fire, saturating its healing ability until it bursts into pieces?
I suppose as old as the Thargoid menace is, some squadron or wing must have tried this already?
