      Thats the way to do it. With some careful aiming you can get every gun you've got firing on one target. Admittedly its hard to do versus a smaller target but then you're only getting half the T-10's guns on a target which is still more than a Phantom's worth of guns, boohoo.

    When I did a bunch of numbers it was hard to compare the Type 10 to any ship. Everything you can do in a Type 10 can be better done in another ship , but the Type 10 can compete in so many categories. Then I realised that the only ship I can compare it to is the Python. The Type-10 when it comes to the numbers is like a large version of the Python (if it could use a fighter bay ). Similar jump range , all arounder type.

      Taking into account the massive jump range of a Anaconda no. The Anaconda is very different considering among large ships the Anaconda has the best jump range. Trading the Python and Imperial Cutter are more similar .both have highest cargo for each size class and have similar jump range.

I have repair limpets and an AFMU for hull and module repair. It’s got a SRV bay to harvest more materials for synthesizing more limpets and AFMU ammo. There’s room for a bunch of heat sinks.

      i have owned all 3 for quite a while, the 10 once you eng it, has the most daka and, i have called it a "god damned flying fortress" since they fixed the power systems(it was launched with type9 power systems...horrible...), for combat, its my favorite ship, vette and cutter are about equal, depends on the situation..the 10 though..you can farm high intensity conflict zones, till your corrosive high cap auto cannons are out of ammo, and you cant craft anymore, or till you are out of limpets, or till you are out of inv space for materials...
      honestly thermal bi-weaves with low draw, 3-4 high cap resistance augmented boosters the rest high cap with high cap, and you will not have any issues bullying vetts, cutters, hell i take every wing kill and nonwing kill over X value, for the same system, then, often, jump in, let the first one interdict me, then jump out, do that 2x, then, start killing, because...as you fight, more will drop in, eventually, you will have them fighting eachother as you fight them, and, will be able to take them out, and get them all done at once... then jump back and collect your pay...
      i love the vette and cutter, but, the 10.. honestly... i would love to see them bring out a krait mk3 thats in effect a type 10 with a tweaked config, a big more internal space, but overall, a very similar vibe...just, give me like one more 6 slot or 2 more 5's something like that... i would grab that up in a heartbeat... till then, the 10 with a rank 4 jump booster, gets me 34-35 fully loaded for bear, so....i often take it of the cutter when i hear about stuff going on, rather then the vette...thats jump range...sucks...
      i have been saying since they fixxed the 10 that, it should be the first "big fucking ship" people get, not a conda, loaded with similar goals, the 10 gives similar jump range...but a far better experience, and, you can move alot of cargo... i have used the min size shield gen it will allow, and maxxed out the cargo and still had no issue killing everything that came for the cargo... the things..a flying fortress.. and..i love it...

    I always loved the Type 10. It feels the most like what it is, an incredibly heavy, slow, lumbering Space Tank. It is staggeringly tough, when the shields drop, the hull just soaks up the punishment without a worry. My favourite use for the 10 was in a Combat Zone. Just sit there, pick a target and concentrate all that fire (as well as you can!) If the other side start attacking you, you have shields and massive amounts of armour to keep you safe. Good times!!!

Not great for tackling the bigger Thargoid interceptors, though: too slow, with too weak shields.

      @@cmdrjontomasson5510 fair point. I feel that I need to clarify here that the litmus test for me is how good will the ship perform in a solo fight. Also I don't hunt Scouts (and apart from AX Conflict Zones, where it's inevitable, never had) or Cyclops (not any more), and for Interceptors like Basilisk and higher T10 is too slow, not agile enough and can not use Gauss due to very bad convergence (and AX MCs against Basi+ just won't work).
      Description 'designed/good for AX combat' is very inaccurate because:
      1. There are ships that will kill Scouts just as good as T10 - take a medium ship with AX MCs, a decontamination limpet (it repairs the hull as well) and FMU, ot top of that it will also be more fun to fly and will cost you around 60-70m Cr.
      2. There are ships that will be way better against Interceptors of ALL variants, still those ships are not described in-game as 'designed for AX combat'.
      Being a full-time AX pilot I am looking for the optimal weapon against the hardest oponent in the game, T10 is very far from being such weapon and has a very limited use, which is even more baffling considering its cost.

Then I remembered that I’m not in the some measly medium ship, I’m in a 1200 tons space brick “thicc-10 defender” so I did the only thing that I deem logical, which is line up for a joust and go all out boosting straight into his face. 80% to 3% HP in one blink and sent spinning uncontrollably, and my turrets took care of him.

I’ve fitted turreted efficient pulse lasers all around with a mix of phasing and scramble. I don’t do AFK simply because I’m not interested in killing harmless or novice ships. That just gets boring. I take it into CNB’s or high res sites with a few tons of gold in the hold...it makes it more challenging and certainly more profitable and this way, it doesn’t always go my way..it can be very challenging, but very exciting.

Massive sized and sporting nearly as many weapons as an anaconda, with the strongest armor of any ship in the game barring capital ships, yes, even stronger than the corvette. With the same internals as a type 9 freighter (before they added the extra size 8 slot). THIS is a massive sized combat capable freighter. Similar to The Millenium Falcon, but like, at least twice the size. Probably more. It just so happens that it can also serve as a weapons platform so, bonus.
