Hyperdicted by Thargoid, but not able to get lock. Scanned, then swarms launched... weapons had no effect.. Highwaked out before I was toast

Oh this is going to be fun!!

Thargoid seem to fire twin missiles combined with what looked a lot like railgun shots to me - can't get a good lock, but was defn hitting with my own weapons- may need to rely on dumbfire and non gimbaled till we get the "new" stuff.
They are "slow" so far though - fa off you can dance around them and the Tharglett swarm gets a bit detached from the mother craft, which seriouslly lessens it's dps - think I may have wiped a few of those with ramming on my way throught the "cloud" as well.

I'll get the video up in a min. Also found a Non-Human Threat 5 USS with some interesting canisters, the Thargoid was looking for something.. not sure if it found anything, and jumped out, leaving some encrypted documents, and Military/Scientific Research data.. which I scooped up... might come in handy.

Notice that OP is taking hull damage with two rings of shields still up.

So what happened to the whole being paralysed thing and the module to stop that happening so we could react?

Its much more dynamic: some still 'paralyze' you, some dont. Some shoot, some dont. Some launch little things, some dont.

You clearly rammed it, what would you expect? A thank you?
EDIT: Plus, you shot first, Han.

I didn't notice I rammed it until a little later-so that would explain the hostility. It's pretty clear now that the vast majority of encounters are non-hostile - but only so much as they don't consider us a threat yet - just an annoyance like a buzzing fly.

The majority of supposedly "hostile encounter" pilots probably wouldn't understand a dog grinning teeth at them when trying to pet. And get bitten. Thargoids show a very simple, understandable message and it says get back, plus we get info about deployed hardpoints.
