G 69-11 Under Goid Attack???

[Cmdr Snuffler]

I am doing data link scanning operation missions. One took me to G 69-11 to scan the Hogan Class Bulk Carrier.
While there I was messing around and the next thing I know interceptors and scouts jump in. Bulk carrier issued a mayday to rescue people.
Now every time I drop into the carrier it's got a huge caustic cloud around it and a thargoid task force jumps in, so it looks like it's persistent in open play.
G 69-11 is near-ish to the centre of the bubble. Is this just standard gameplay or is this new where goids have started attacking humanity's bulk carriers?

That is old content from a time when the Thargoids were still mostly an enigma. Noboy knew why they attacked those Bulk Carriers. There were Community Goals to repair the Bulk Carriers IIRC.

Check the cargo of bull carrier. You'll probably see a sensor or probe in cargo bay.
