I accidentally entered a Thargoid Maelstorm with my Asp Explorer

You looking to fight/tissue sample interceptors, or poke around the Maelstrom? To get some ideas I'd suggest having a look at the website the Anti-Xeno Initiative put together:

 
The answer really depends on what you want to do - fight Interceptors, fight Scouts, fight Glaives, get tissue samples, visit the Maelstrom, do humanitarian stuff... they all share a common theme: Build tanky and cold, and resistances don't matter. To get to the Maelstrom, you need at least the Thargoid Pulse Neutralizer, and to survive in the caustic cloud around them the new Caustic Sinks are advised.

If you want to fight, the loadout really depends on where and what you want to fight.
 
It's not on the AX website, but if you just want to farm the Maelstrom for mats/tissue samples then an unshielded Clipper is another popular choice - engineered to run cold, size 7 multilimpet, slots to have a decent number of limpets and hull reinforcements.
 
Note: Research limpets are twice as fast compared to the multi controller. The multi one allows lots of limpets at the same time tho
 
I took my type 10 in and it did pretty well. I like the fact that the bast.. err.. glaives can't masslock it. The Cutter did wonderfully and ran really cool (no shields) as well. The clipper is really the best cool running choice as mentioned above because it can take a size 7 limpet controller but I have a lawn mower with a bigger gas tank.

And that's why i fit a fuel tank on my Clipper :)
