Story :
Thargoid ship scanning for loot, collects only occupied escape pods (0:52).
He did a warning when I got close, but calmed down after I retreated.
Leaves Thargoid Wake after jumping.
Sadly I had no weapons or Wake Scanner to do anything more.

They're taking the survivors to make Soylent Green!

Just saw them pickup a few escape pods just outside Oracle
That's quiet worrying.

So I thought, too.

But if the rescued people don't show up at some human space port during the next fortnight, we'll have to re-evaluate the happenings ...

It's not like humans have been rescuing them. Heck, during Distant Worlds tons of them were dropped into a crater just for giggles. They're just cleaning up the galaxy.

I encountered this too, and saw Imperial ships being attacked and pods taken by the Thargoids.

Just seen two danaged escape pods in Pleiades sector IR-W D1-55 picked up by a Thargoid, first Time it kicked the snot out a me , had to leave a bit shap

 

[Simpleye]

I been in and out of the non human USSs all night watching this.
They are also taking Meta Alloys.

 

[joshman72nd]

seen this as well i managed to snag a few of the pods and turn them into the nearest starport hopefully we will hear somethin soon about this on galnet

 

[chotnik]

Very cool video. What happened to the ships that had contact, were they wrecked (or maybe already have been wrecks before?)?

They were already wrecked, so cant tell if it was acualy same Thargoids that wrecked them and then captured.

 

[Cmdr Tel]

Well then we might not get to see a rebuy screen if you lose your ship...and we know they like probes....uh oh!

 

[FalconDeLacyHotelEchoLima]

Perhaps we should give an offering of alaves or imperial slaves... OR, all the ships being destroyed were carrying imperial slaves. Wonder what would happen if you were to eject some politicians near them.

 

[Stealthie]

If it turns out that the Thargoids are being bred by an android called David, I'm not going to be at all impressed.

 

[PsyFish]

So... i just jettisoned 15 tonnes of imperial slaves and 15 tonnes of regular slaves to a Thargoid overlord. He tractored it all in, seemed very happy...and was making cuddly noises.

Unfortunately he got angry when my wingmate jumped in, which has been shooting at them tonight.

I had a similar experience.

On first us encounter they just scanned me collected the pods and left.

On 2nd i stole the pods with my collector, that made em quite angry, turned red and started fighting me, after 10 minutes of combat i gave up and escaped.

You can outrun them in normal space, i assume theyrs speed lays around 220

 

[SYN_Mars]

Thargoid looking for engineer materials.

 

[omnicognate]

If you give the Thargoid an Ancient artefact they will turn red and attack it
