Also this one. You can greet (which I did) or not, then send science (which I did) or culture. It gave me 15% science.

Deep in space, the seedship's collision avoidance system detects a fast-moving object that is changing velocity to match course with the seedship. It transmits a complex radio signal which the seedship cannot understand but which could only be the product of intelligence.

The seedship's builders gave it an inter-species greeting it could use to open communications with intelligent aliens: a pulsed series of prime numbers establishing intelligence, followed by a diagram depicting human figures and explaining the seedship's mission and its peaceful intentions. The AI transmits this now, and waits hopefully for a reply.

The reply comes after a few moments. It is in the same format as the seedship's inter-species greeting, starting with the same prime numbers, but the diagram is changed to depict alien beings and suggest that the object is an exploration probe. There is more to the message that the AI does not understand, but it appears to have established communication. The AI transmits the contents of the scientific database to the alien ship. It responds almost at once with a similar signal: the alien intelligence must have decoded the seedship's scientific database and replied with scientific information of its own. The AI files this new information away for analysis by the colonists when they awake.

The alien ship appears to have had enough of conversation, and accelerates away again into space. ContinueAnd finaly I can't believe it's not here as it's quite common, there is an event in which you encounter mining robots and if you greet them they either transmit data, either (exceptionally) attack you and deal quite some damage.
