    Another way to see which Thargoid variant it is, with the scanner but without performing a full scan is to look just below the Thargoid hologram on your HUD. It will have little rectangular dashes just above the hull indicator, indicating the number of hearts. Cyclops 4 hearts - Basilisk 5 hearts - Medusa 6 hearts - Hydra 8 hearts.

      Also, when you "join the fight", the NPC's will scan the 'Goids, and the info will get passed on to you, so you don't need a Xeno scanner. That leaves room for the SFN or more heatsinks.

      It is worth mentioning that destroyed hearts disappear from the indicator and a portion of interceptor's health bar gets red. So if you encountered something with 4 hearts and partially red health bar, then it is something way more dangerous than a Cyclops.

    Mbooni is permit locked and required azimuth allied status to get, which as far as I can tell can only be done by running missions for Azimuth in T-Tauri for anyone who didn't participate in the community event last year. Also each modified shard cannon requires a guardian weapon blueprint fragment amongst other guardian site materials, so getting 6 of them is a fair investment of time.

    I have a two-stage trigger bind where the first click fires the primary fire group and a full pull fires everything. I'll probably swap the fire groups around so that the first detente is the beam lasers and the second detente fires the shards. I do have a second button for just the secondary fire group, but I thought to mention it since I know you use a Constellation Alpha stick as well. Incidentally, your review of it is the reason I have one, too. Love it. :)

    • @chivayos
      @chivayos Рік тому

      It's actually pretty easy, for the normal human or guardian technology you just need to find a nearby a tech broker that you can search for on inara. For modified guardian tech and also the Sirius heatsinks there's only the azimuth biotech base (prospect's deep) in the mbooni system , which is permit locked.
      You can unlock it by gaining enough reputation with faction 'azimuth biotech', which you can do on the nearby system lhs 1163, where you can take missions for azimuth on their megaship 'glorious prospect'.
      As soon as you're allied you gain the permit and all you'll need is all materials required for the modules.
      Mind that the pre engineered guardian weapons need the materials for each individual module that you buy, so if you need 6 of the same module then you need 6times the amounts, unlike the normal guardian stuff that you unlock permanently in unlimited amounts in the chosen module size.

I've got the Mbooni permit very easily (by selling silver, two deliveries of 688-ton of silver to megaship in LHS 1163, to become allied with Azimuth Biotech faction). When permit was granted (just by accepting the mission opportunity, nothing else to do), I was gone to Guardians ruin to farm six weapons blueprint fragments (plus other materials such technology components) required to buy these Class-2 modified shard cannons.

    Interesting to see DTEA pop up during these 'active' times. I was blindly about to roll in and comment 'shards' and 'pre-engineered plasma'. While the plasma's can't kill any fresh interceptor before the panic shields pop. But they 'can' kill it right before 2nd heart shield if you're fast enough, have 6 of them with the 30% damage boost.
    Another thing to note. Hammer gauss (the burst one) is that it's synth values are busted (also it's ammo resupply on death); you can get a x4 on 30% = 120% damage boost on premium ammo. CMDR Mechan sampled this in his Hydra vs Sidewinder video.
    If my math is correct, that should be able to instakill a Basalisk with ease, and if hitting the right spot.. should 1-shot a Medusa. When I say right spot, I mean not desperately shooting the sides of the pedals to squeeze some DPS in.

    This build is great, but generate a lot of heat. So changing some the modified medium shard with normal large shard is also a viable alternative. The pure modified build maybe a bit better due to the smaller spread and faster projectile speed, but combined build need less grind (as the normal shard needs to be unlocked once), and more safer, while still very effective. It worth noting that probably not all attack will be an isntagib as all shot needs to be landed on the Goid in 2.5 second, and if not, then no result at all.

    Gunship: Anaconda: 5 mod medium and 1 mod small / 1 large and 4 mod medium and 1 mod small + free 1 small hardpoint

      If you ever played elite dangerous you know that what he's talking about his obviously not for beginners. If you are beginner and you want to kill thyroid you are not playing dangerous.... You're playing yourself! Think about the concept of a beginner playing the endgame of any game and complaining about the fact that they can't play the endgame game right away don't be an idiot yes you can be into the game yes you have to put hours and hours into engineering. But the rewards are videos from people that have done so showing you how to win against the hardest victory creatures in the world Suck it up get it better stop complaining!Suck it up get it better stop complaining!

      They are all correct, it IS "super easy".....if you learn the effective ways to farm mats. If you don't want to do that, there is a harder but cheaper way. Look up a UA-cam video on the Diamondback Explorer called "The Sawtooth". It is a non-engineered AX (Anti-Xeno) build. Killing Thargoids with it is also possible and quite satisfying.
      There is another zero grind ship called the Ripsaw based on a Chieftain by another UA-cam channel. So get out there commander and stop finding reasons to complain about what you can't do....yet.

    So it's not as simple and easy to do as he makes it seem. And I really do wish he mentioned that. It takes practice, and it takes getting a feel for how it works. And things can still go wrong. For example if your weapons capacitor is not full for some reason, you won't be able to fire off all five shots and you might not notice that. Or if you're using a shield (which I would highly recommend to add a little bit of extra buffer to your life), You have to watch your system capacitor or else you won't be able to fire off a heat sink. And sometimes the weapons just don't seem to fire right even if you have full weapons capacitors. All in all you do have to get a feel for this and it can be frustrating to get them to face you and come at you at a speed that's not too fast that you can actually get all five shots off. But it's a lot easier once you get used to it.
    -It's stupid difficult to do this. So much can and does go wrong. From the thargoid shooting past you before you can get all five shots off, to the 5 shots just....not all working?? like wtf? I've done this exactly ONCE so far. And made so many attempts. IT"S INSANELY frustrating how you present this as a super easy thing and it's not. It's frustrating as hell.-

      @stevealexander5344 Рік тому

      At certain times in the battle (arrival to CZ, after 3rd heart is destroyed) the inteceptors will release an EMP pulse. Fortunately the computer will warn you in time so you can switch to it. The SFN releases a counter-pulse to stop their pulse, thus your ship will continue to operate. Without it, you'll lose power and be a sitting duck for a minute (or crash into a planet and die like I did once). There are ways to avoid this pulse without an SFN but you'll need a fast boost speed and good timing so you're KMs' away before the pulse goes off.

So no nerfing required. Imho Krait Mk2 or Chieftain/Challenger (for speed) with gauss cannons 3 or 5 in two groups is much better but it requires getting use to - no insta kills though. Get familiar with Thargoids mechanics and practice gauss cannons with flight assist off and soon you will murder all type of goids to your heart content ;) If I may see Astyrrean vids.

      It's a wing monster, a large hammer, not a surgical strike weapon. It can be made to work as part of a newbie wing on higher Goids around planetary bases. It is fun to use and useful to gain experience. You would be hard pushed to cold orbit in a tank and ditto for a Conda.
      However, it has its place, clearing out planetary ports and going head to head with all manner of Goids.
      You can make it survivable in a wing or team around starports, but its lack of maneuverability it will get eaten by a swarm if not defended.

      Won't work on even a Basi. It has more hardness and over double the HP.
      Still need to do them the old fashioned way, splash hearts, murder Goid.
      Four modshards with Prem ammo do ~900-1000 HP (as you're outpacing the regen on the Clops). Add another two Modshards with Prems, you're only adding an additional 50% damage output, which still brings you to the realm of ~1350-1500. On an enemy with greater hardness (so the actual damage delivered is cut down by some percentage) and 1800HP (so even if the Basi had the hardness of the Clops, you're not doing enough to kill it).
      The short of it is that to kill a Basi, you'd need somewhere in the realm of ~2000-2200 damage, delivered within a few seconds at most. Now, if you have two Shardacondas, you can gib a Basi, sure.

Be sure also to keep your ship very cold less than 20% (by using lasers), and by launching heatsink just before "instagib". Of course, you can get some module failures (including weapons), but they're temporary. Be sure I'm so far to be an ace in combat (I don't master Cold Orbiting technique, for example) but be sure I can kill Cyclops (thread level 5 in AX conflict zones) very easily. o7
