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

Yea roger that, took a few seconds to react to me being within 450m (waited longer within 500m), then I sat between 450-500m & it took a few seconds to cool off.
Didn't get to test on tougher goids last night as they weren't showing up alone.

Tested with a Medusa, ignored me until I got within 450m, calmed down when I went to ~470m, video here.
Earlier Basilisk test here.

Finding a Medusa took long enough in the system I was at, think I'll try a busier one for a Hydra. Their appear in NHSSs right? But do they ever appear by themselves?

Yea I found that out a few weeks ago, but they are very rare for NHSS threat 6s, & I didn't see any over that in the few Pleiades systems I was in.

In order to avoid those annoying scouts you just have to look whether the NHSS has a salvage opportunity beforehand. Never seen a scout in one of those.

That rules out a lot of potential candidates. The ones with the salvage icon don't have the "green cloud" in them.

Err, yes they do :), in fact they're predominately the ones that have the green cloud, have you remembered it back to front? ;)
But you're right that it does rule out a lot of candidates, maybe more than 90% don't have the salvage icon in the few systems I scanned a few times.

There doesn't seem to be anything around the old Palin Base anymore. Tried looking for the new thargoid and take on some scouts but nothing but a couple of thargoid wakes.

Has AXI been actively trying to clear the EE systems these past few weeks? Any more thoughts on why these systems have been singled out?

My thought was that they maybe amassing a fleet to counter attack the witch head enclave.

I'll go back and check later, but i definitely know the salvage icon is not a reliable measure of which nhss are which, because that was the first thing i tried.

The salvage icon iirc spawns ones with a bunch of wreckage but and no green cloud. Still get a single interceptor.

Quick, the hummies are all running about mining like nutters to save up for a fleece carrier? Lets mount an attack while they are distracted.

I've been away from the Pleiades and the Witch Head for some time now, been hauling Rockforth Poison, wich is the only active story on Elite right now, the rest looks kinda forgotten.

So what happeneed? Did the Thargoids left the Pleiades? Bugs got bugs or did so deliberately?

They are still there, HR 1185 has stayed the same throughout as far as i know normal NHSS 3-9. Not been to the witch head since the last II pretty much, i think the engineer has/did go wonky there, but not up to date at the mo.

I can confirm WHN has NHSSes but not further bug activity. They keep to their space, we keep to ours. Every now and again I'll go scout hunting to keep the numbers down, but they keep coming back, bless em.
