Thargoids seemingly attack without provocation.

Nice vid. Wonder what kind of damage they do.
FD's sound department as usually is on top of the game. Glorious sound design there.
I would venture they won't do much to a pvp hull tank with a lot of PD.
Still downloading... grrrr. Yes, we plug our routers into special potatoes here (Greece).
There was plenty of time to go away, also going this close will get you destroyed.with human capitals, too. There was option not to pick a fight, but naturally...
Perhaps it's a proximity thing that caused it to attack?
The one I just encountered did nothing till I griefed it, just came in for a scan. It was eating my hull through my shields however. I ran away.
So another vote in favour of hull tank? Time to dust off the FAS I suppose.
My hull is pretty well engineered tbh. I was not fighting life or death but it shrugged off my engineered multi cannons and started melting my vette. Was not very fast, giving me ample chance to escape, after a little fun I bugged out @65% hull, shields still up. Defo new weapons required.
It was totally peaceful till I gave it a love tap.
The first one I encountered didnt attack me at all. It did use the Thargons/Tharglets/whatever, but they did not attack me. Ship remained green.
There is no reason to be so focussed on that dude...

I ran into one also and it didn't fire on me. Launched Thargons and then I got the heck out of the way and it went about it's business.
Honestly, please don’t. Not today.
Suspect there is more than easy to find uss. I found one within seconds.
They made it optional. It was always going to be this way. Expecting more, was probably unwise. Best to make of it what we can.
Had my own fight with one.. couldn't provoke it into firing first, although they will deploy their drones and hardpoints when you get close.
Decided to pick a fight in the end, I did no appreciable damage to either the main ship or its cluster/swarm of drone thingys. While it never got my shields down, it's shield breach attacks did get my hull down to 57% before I ran off.

Have to admit, I'd hoped for them to be a bit more deadly!
