A recent community report in Elite Dangerous reveals an unusual hostile encounter with Thargoids in the Pleiades Sector, specifically the LY-Q B5-2 system. A commander experienced a hyperdiction followed by an electromagnetic pulse attack that destroyed their ship, challenging the prevailing view that Thargoids have remained mostly non-hostile since the war ended. This incident raises questions about potential changes in Thargoid AI behavior or new event triggers within the game. Commanders exploring or participating in community goals around the Sanguineous Rim should be aware of this possible shift in threat level and exercise caution.
