Thargoid interactions. Hostile or no?

I'm curious about how many cmdrs are being attacked by the 'goids and who isn't. I for one have yet to be attacked. Four interactions, all at signal sources, but no hostility. I picked up some escape pods right in front of them. I receive a scan then either they go back to their business or just jet off into that worm hole thing of theirs. Anyone else receiving the same treatment?

I haven't shot at anything Goid related either.

I got fired upon today after picking up a damaged escape pod in ones presence.

Thanks for that. I am going to record some of my encounters tonight, see if anything different happens. I'd like to know if there is any depth to these guys. Or are they all just here to annihilate us?

Imho, if that were true then I would have died four times yesterday.
I think there's more to them then just death.

Agreed. Any thoughts on how to approach them differently? Maybe try to drop some cargo or flash some lights? Anything that might get a different reaction from them. I'd like to try a few things tonight when I get on. Ill try to record it. See what happens.

Just had 2 encounters first one let me fly around it before hyperspacing, the second was ok until I got too close and started to attack me, luckily I boosted away and hyperspaced off heroically [where is it], without too much damage.

Just got my first encounter and was attacked unprovoked, though I destroyed quite a lot barnacles in the past... :eek:

I was trying to make the Thargoid US appear very near to an alliance station (and to bring into it, to see what happens).. almost go it! But! too bad, the server coming down message arrived..
Next time..

So far what I know about them from browsing forums and reddit is that they only turn hostile if you open fire on them, bump into them, disrespect their personal space, have any resemblance to a guardian relic, hit them with research limpets, or sometimes for s and giggles (this one seems to be rare).

I've encountered six Thargoids and two of them have attacked me because I was carrying Ancient Relics on me. They seem passive otherwise unless you fly too close to them.

My first (and as of now only) encounter went so:
Ship: Sidewinder Götterdämerung. Entered signal source. Scanned by Thargoid which then moved away - no hostilities. I followed it and it launched the drones but still no hostilities. Went nearer and it went hostile. Got out with 3% hull :).
So I was warned away twice before it attacked.
Very good encounter from my point of view.

I've had two encounters, one ended in a rebuy(unarmed DBX) and one got a bit vocal then waked, the observation so far is that angry thargoids have baby thargoids deployed,, I saw a Thargoid sensor in the debris but didn't have the presence of mind to scoop it quick enough... Wouldn't of mattered as I got destroyed when I dropped into the next signal, it took out my D rated thrusters then the rebuy screen appeared. The colour red was notable in the angry thargoid also.
