How will you react when it all hits the fan?

Immediate action drill will be:

1: Open comms
2: Tell them to keep Glenn Miller, we don't want the smegger!
3: 4 Pips to Shields
4: Run around in big circles hoping they get tired and have a heart attack
5: Talk to my insurance broker!
 
First, what am I sipping on? Important step here....if it's hot tea I carefully set it down as I eye my UI carefully but quickly forming a decision that is not a over-reaction. If it's a beer, I slam it on the desk, let out a barbaric YELP! and open hard points with a stealy eyed grin.
 
Nothing much really. Apart from shooting them or just flying away there isn't rrally a thing one could possibly do. I mean, there is no other way to interact with them.
 
Hello CMDR’s,

I have a question I would like to ask each of you. First let me set the scene…

You have had a long session doing your thing in the game, you’ve made some credits and everything is looking good. You are nearing the end of your latest journey, it matters not what you are doing just that you now have one last jump to make. Again it makes no difference as to where you are in this scenario, you might be deep in the bubble or at the edge of the galaxy.

You hit the button for the FSD to kick in and relax a little as you hear the 4…3…2…1… Engage from the ships computer. You ease the throttle back to ensure you don’t face plant into the star you are heading towards – you’ve done this 10,000 times before and know how long it takes, hence you take a sip of your drink just as the ships alarms go wild, lights begin to flash and the cockpit is filled with the crashing sound of your ship being ripped from the area some call Witch space .
You look up at the HUD to see 3 ships approaching you. One from the front and the other two from the left rear and right rear… your ships sensors lock onto the lead ship. The hexagonal shape you see reminds you of the ships from all of those old Thargoid war films you used to watch.

These are the Thargoids of legend, this is your Kobayashi Maru…

The question is simple – how do you react?

I would come to the forum and complain about how OP they are :D

Aaand that i rage-quit the game[haha]

Honestly tho, it's about the only thing that would bring me back to open play.

The idea of 30+ human commanders flying together to defend a station or system against the thargoids sounds god damn amazing and WOULD bring something unique to Elite Dangerous.

I prey for the day this happens!
 
On a serious note, I've spent the last couple months modding my Exploraconda (among other ships) to the hilt with top shelf upgrades, and now that thing's a BEAST; just bring it on, buggers!
 
I would power down shields and weapons, retract hardpoints, open comms to the lead ship and invite them to a relaxing sip of Neutron Star's heavy particle enriched Whisky...
If they planned to attack in the first place, i at least die on my ships bridge with a vaporizing taste of finest firewater...

If you played the original Elite, you'd know, you can barely survive contact with a single thargoid ship, even in a military class fitted vessel...
