FrontButtI'm still pretty nervous... I think I can make it just in time. I'm already out my contract, so at this point it's just to see if I can pull it off, and cash in the explore data. I can't try right now, but I def have to do it before I will be able to sleep.

I've personally seen entire destroyed fleets made up of ships from both factions. They don't seem to discriminate. There's also screenshots up on reddit of a cargo megaship that was destroyed by them.

As a side note, they also seem to pick certain things up. I've seen them grab the thargoid sensors and escape pods from human vessels, both occupied and damaged. This being said, I'm not sure the thargoids we see at the aftermath are the ones attacking the ships. They don't attack us unless we fire on them or get too close, even though they come up and scan us. They also don't make use of the pulse they've previously used to disable us. I think this may be the non hostile thargoid faction following and keeping tabs on the other one. They are (or were) in a civil war after all.

Have they been hitting independent targets as well? I thought it was only military convoys.

The only one I've seen after the patch has been the megaship, but we have seen independent vessels destroyed by them in the past.

Curious. I wonder what the original purpose of the ship's voyage was before the attack.

probably has to do with the CG of collecting Thargoid material at Palin

I don't think so either. I dropped in on one and there was wreckage all around it. Looked like the remains of a cutter, anaconda, and a few smaller ships that were unrecognizable. Good times!
