Thargoid interdiction question

[OBYOZ]

Greets Cmdrs,

A few days ago, I was interdicted by a pair of thargoids, and one of them scanned me and then instead of jumping away like they normally do, they both waited in the same spot looking at me, as if they wanted me to interact with them. I flew around them a few times and got a good look, then and rammed them but nothing happened so i jumped away.

I don't really get involved with the alien stuff so Is there anything I missed that you have to do to them?

Had that experience the first time too; the Hyperdicting Interceptor leaves, and then the "tourists" stick around to watch the "weird alien" that you are.

At this point in time though, for me - after the 20th hyperdiction, those observers or "tourists" just leave once the scan's finished and you don't have anything of value in your hull.
In my experience they stay and watch if you carry stuff like Meta Alloys or Thargoid Hearts - until you drop them all, in which case the hyperdicting Interceptor scoops it all up and the "tourists"/observers/escorts leave.

Observation/speculation on my part;
I'm not exactly sure (very few datapoints, being hyperdicted and all) but I think they recognize your ship after a while.
Again not certain: But I believe that if you were a jerk to them, they remember that too. I've had an Interceptor aggro on getting close enough to my ship (maybe they recognize your decals?) while the others stayed relaxed - I might've accidentally nudged the agrroed Interceptor in the "eye" in a previous encounter or didn't drop my meta alloys/hearts in time during that encounter.

But they never did jump away, I waited around for 10 mins trying to interact, took a few screen shots then I jumped away. Got a good look in the cockpits but they looked empty.

Every other time I was intercepted, like you said they would scan and leave but this time they stayed put, and I don't mean they were flying around in the same instance minding there own business, I mean they were stationary.

Has anyone else had the thargoids "park up and not move" for long periods of time?

Below is me trying to push them.

I don't mean they were flying around in the same instance minding there own business, I mean they were stationary.

The behaviour that I noticed; and mentioned, is that they observed me. If your ship doesn't move, they just stay there. If I flew away, they "escorted" me. Once I stopped, they stopped and just gazed.
And yeah, they were very patient - more then I was.

Whilst i have not had the exact same thing happen, once ages ago (12-18months at a guess) i got pulled, one interceptor waked out, one basillisk then just proceeded to cruise off in a straight line at maybe 150m/s.
I followed it for probably 5min, just checking it out really. It totally ignored me and i got bored eventually and waked out.
Not really on topic but thought i would mention it for what its worth.

I had something very similar happen to me last night. Been playing since October 2017 and it was my first hyperdiction. Creeped me out a little. Anyway after the hyperdiction came the wave which disabled my ship, then one Thargoid warped out but the other just stayed there, watching me. I decide to give it a little boop to see what it would do but it din't react at all! Here's a video of the whole experience.
