Err guys, I'm on a long haul cargo run from the bubble to The Oracle & I found an NHSS Thr 7 in Arietis Sector DL-Y d82, it felt like it was rather soon, & sure enough it's 182 LYs from Merope! , it's logged in LCUs spreadsheet.
Is this new behaviour?
Passive Tharg type scanning a damaged Megaship:

Not sure if they're scanning the damage or the ship cockpit itself?
Thats normal,they are scanning it,and after a while they collect cargo around it.
Not if they don't have any capacity to remember, & they haven't shown that so far AFAIK, my guess would be that the 'Thargoids' have seen what we have done in their sites & have re-programmed their bots to be more aggressive.
Interesting! Did you get your SRV out in 1 piece?
Lol, but I think the scavengers are mechanical, so they've been re-programmed rather than reacting to their environment.Rather like my dog, not that he’s aggressive. But tell him off for chewing logs in the log basket, and 2 minutes later he’s back there again... beginning to think he’s part squirrel.
