Thargoid Attacks: Where, When and What you can do about it

Run into then for the 1st time in Asterope near the Copernicus observatory, i jumped into the system, started my FSS and i couldnt believe the amount of alien signals there were, the space around the station is litered with dozens of alien signals!!! Went to one of them to check it, and booom, i saw a beluga wrecked and one of them near it, he came, looked at me and went away, i them picked my fair share of cargo from the site and proceed to jump to supercruise heading to Copernicus Observatory and got interdicted...
Well let me just phrase this in a calm manner...

I tought i was a goner, since there were not 1 but several of those things and they all came around me, there was a diferent one too, and as red as they turned several times they didnt seen to want to hurt me so i punched the boost and got as far as i could to get back to supercruise and escape...

Was interesting to say the least! The curiosity got a hold of me and i had to investigate that signal...

As ive seen so far, i got in 1 system the 2 things i see ppl talk about, encounter with one near a wreck and be interdicted by one, wasnt expecting to see that many in 1 spot doe... All that remains now is to find some barneculs and see one there too... As i seen in videos.

This really picked my interest in exploration in this game even further, what can we find out there?!

Do you know if fighting in a bugged AX CZ (unlimited scout spawn) counts? Or do we have to finish the CZ successfully?

I get those bugged ones quite often and honestly I like them because it's a great combat rank boost. But also I want to help the cause :D

They should count - always have in the past :)

According to recent info from fdev kills and CZ wins will work. They also said there are other non-combat activities that can help beat incursions and infestations, though we don't know what they are...

have you checked distress calls and other signal sources yet? (aka targeting one and check the involved factions)

There are black box salvage missions as far as I know.

Edit: Also I occasionally find black boxes, escape pods, combat tactics etc in some NHSS. They might count too when delivered to related Search & Rescue contacts, probably in said systems.

I’d really want some AX science BGS going on with those. Seeing your and the general progression with a new rank/role system. That’s for another topic though.

Hum, maybe I'm blind - but I can't find any stations with Thargoid scout missions. Did they totally disappear when the megaships was docked?
Looked in Merope and Maia also.

Not seeing anything in BOLG

Not seeing anything in hip 9141 either

Not seeing anything in hip 21167


No NHSS in all 3 - but they all had HGE if anyone cares (seriously the one time I don't need them they spawn - this game - it torments me....)


However, Merope is CRAWLING with NHSS - setting up shop there. o7


Edit - and there's a distress call around planet 3 (there's two beaten up imperial capital ships) - relog and take your pick / poison of what turns up :) if you're that way inclined. Good huntin'
