when it comes to rescue missions on thargoid alert/invasion, u dont need a very fast ship. I used 'helpmeconda' having only 1.3k hull and it was doing very fine. ECM and taking some damage isnt the end of world. You getting chased by scythe version of glaive, not a hydra. You wont die even if u fuck up ecm and the missile hits you to prevent jump away.

Heck even my python 'ax rescue' having barely 450 hull i was doing fine.

There is no system being invaded yet, No AX mission.

No interdiction from Sol to V 886 Centauri, if I stay with this ship I'm not gonna see a Thargoid, need an open AXCZ.

Finally I got T8 and currently engineering it to be 352T transport. What would be the best weapon choice for it? I am thinking to put 5 small beams long/ 4 flow and 1 vent plus 1 med. multi long/corrosive. I want to use 4A PowerPlant so it could boost to 532 empty/482 loaded. Thanks

Re Titan bombing: the most oomph against an exposed Titan thermal core you will get from enhanced AX (dumbfire) missiles – unless you want to bring Anti-Guardian resistant Shard canons and go really close. So I would put enhanced AX missiles in the three L slots of the Krait Mk2. Have a nanite torpedo pylon in one of the two M hardpoints to shoot at thermal vent nodules (once they are open), the other a thermal vent beam. Do not go after anything else around a Titan, keep your heat down and wait for your attack run. This is like submarine warfare, you don't want to be seen until the last minute when you do your run. After that, run away, pop a heat sink, become invisible, wait for the next run.
