Thargoid Interactions

Correction/Update - I just did my last run from HIP 17125 to Maia....loaded with Thargoid resin and bio samples.....was at Tycoon rank 99% and needed one more mission to get Elite.....coming into Maia I was hyperdicted, first time with Thargoid material on board. I managed to boost twice before they EMP'ed me and I either lost them or they didn't follow. Landed at Darnielle's and made Elite <whew>.
Was coming back from HIP 17125 with 4 Biologicals & was thargoidicted. As soon as I came out of hyperspace, I was able to boost @447 2 quick times before I got the EMP shutdown. The sound effect was very distant and to my rear. I sat there waiting to be destroyed until the system rebooted. Boosted another time fast & then turned around - there were three wakes. Lucky, I guess.
Pulled from witch space in Struve's lost sector to suddenly meet 3 thargoid ships being intimidating. I plan future expeditions.
Re collector, that news to me!, worth knowing
, I don't think I could fit a collector in my FDL though without compromising something else .
Pulled out of Witch Space. Freaked me right out carrying Meta Alloys. PLIEADES Sector NN-T C3-6. o7 Cmdrs stay frosty.
Lol, yeah it makes me jump!
Hyperdictions can be reported to the Thargoid data gathering thread (link in the op), your data gets added to a spreadsheet & then forwarded to Cannons 'all' 3D map.

An observation: Today a Thargoid scanned me when I had a damaged escape pod in my hold and it didn't attack. I think this is new, it did attack before.
Have you been feeding them MA's or anything? Somehow pacified them? If they did attack before (that's odd in my experience) and don't now... what's changed?
Very very rarely, maybe I gave them 2 or 3 meta alloys or thargoid stuff to distract them and rescue other pods.
In other ocassions they have attacked me when I was carrying pods and/or damaged pods. However I don't have an accurate report :S
I've been scanned dozens of times with pods on board, not been attacked for it yet, nothing new I'm afraid.
So strange. Right from the start there's been so many slight variations on attacks it seems to defy explanation doesn't it? I've never been attacked unprovoked unless carrying Thargoid stuff or Guardian stuff, and even then they give a warning and just dropping the offending items is enough to pacify them. I've never been attacked for carrying any human items or MAs (though MAs trigger the mirror behaviour which is creepy lol). They seem to give me the benefit of the doubt and only actually attack if they really need to.
Yet other people have been attacked apparently unprovoked, some like you seem to be attacked for carrying items that don't trigger them for other people...
What's going on?! Lol.

lol. Thanks, not going to be able to get that image out of my head now.
I just got hyperdicted by two shadowing Thargoids. The Field Neutraiser worked as intended and I had full freedom of movement. The two Thargs keep shadowing me. I am abel to inspect and even touch them with my Taipan. The Thargs just keep theire 500m distance and hover ...
strange.
I am still in the instace. I could highwake away now, but... anything I should do? For science?
Scanned them and going to send a report. Took some pics. And they are not interested in regular trade cargo...
edit: finally I angerd them by trying to get a data-link scan. Didn't succeed with it, had to pull out

I'm skeptical. It's certainly possible that somewhere along the way Frontier changed how the Thargoid ships react, but I haven't seen an unedited video from beginning to end that shows Thargoids reacting hostilely to something other than known triggers.
On another note, is anyone keep track of giving commodities, like meta alloys, to the ships?

Were you carrying Meta Alloys? I've only personally seen that shadowing behaviour when I'm carrying them.
Lol

No Thargoid cargo tracking AFAIK.
I had a weird 1 the other day, I saw a Tgoid take a can of tactical data, yet last night they ignored it! (just when I was ready to video it, lol).
