Newcomer / Intro Would like to try Thargoid content and get the full experience available

[Crumly]

I remember the first thargoid experience I read about guys getting hyperdicted and scanned by a thargoid, then released, and how cool it was
I'd like to do that, not die preferably, and then see the barnacle (don't know much about), I have seen a crashed thargoid thing somewhere when I did my 5kLY exploration engineer unlock trip, but I don't remember it well. So I'd like to see a crashed ship again, and maybe the Thargoid base with the star map ( I can find this on obsidian ant channel IIRC), and build towards fighting them and helping effectively in the CG's and AXCZ's.
I know I can youtube guides on each aspect and have the https://wiki.antixenoinitiative.com/ website, I was just wondering if anyone could briefly outline some of the steps players would have taken in the past 4-5 years and recreate it for myself, as my play has been pretty spotty since thargoids have came out, and I generally focused on other game loops since then when I did play.
Thanks

I would start investigating the story arc in Coalsack nebula, as this is the oldest known account of thargoid contact and quite atmospheric. After that head to the pleiades and have a look at the barnacle forests and ground bases ( if they are there still ). You can look into Inra bases from here and get some free data farming in at jamesons crashed cobra, vist the crashed thargoid ships, then head back to the bubble for the rest of the inra bases. Finally you could head to California nebula, visit the barnacle in mic turner base and visit the hesperus which is part of the coalsack story.

and if you want to see some with out risk of getting killed, you can go to the bug killer site
you can farm raw mats and encoded mats there with an srv.
And a few Thargoids will fly through and scan the area and you.
Bug Killer site in Hip 16613 1 A , bring a DSS or use coordinates -11.0093 , -96.6755 to land.

as long as you do not have any thargoid or guardian items with you or shoot them, they will not attack you on this planet.

Take a Wake Scanner along so you can scan the wake(s) when the Thargoid(s) leave, sometimes there are two Thargoids growling around overhead while you are there.

These sites are sort of in the path to Bug Killer,
Hip 20830 A 8 F is a semi-buried Thargoid ship with barnacles all around, and little Thargoid critters running around doing stuff.
You can open the doors to the ship with a Thargoid Probe, you can find some still in Hip 14479.
Hip 17403 A 4 A has the remains of a dead Thargoid and a good place to collect UA's aka Thargoid Sensor's, there are also some bio sites in the area.
