As long as you don't get close or fire weapons, you can remain and observe the Thargoid. Once the scan is complete, back off and retreat to at least 1km away. If you don't go cold, the Thargoid will attack you and almost certainly kill you. Waste no time using the Xeno Scanner to get that scan! The scan only works within 500m. If a Thargoid is there when you drop into the USS, it will approach to scan you.Īt that point as soon as the Thargoid is within 500m, fire the heat-sink to make your ship go cold - this will stop the Thargoid from detecting your heat signature and it will not then consider you a threat.

Finding ThargoidsĬurrently in the game the best place to find Thargoids is in the Pleiades sector, which means a trip of 150-200ly from the main bubble (depending where you start). Remember to assign the Heat Sink launcher and Xeno Scanner to a fire group. You'll be making a long trip, so consider fitting a fuel scoop if you don't already have one. You are then set for a close encounter of the non-fatal kind. If you cannot find these in the station you are at, use the EDDB.io website to locate a station near you that has them in stock (put "xeno scanner" in the "Station sells" box and then put your current location in the "Reference system" box).
