You better go and try them for yourself.
oh, you are limited by your self-imposed FDL restriction


My current krait mk2 setup have similar DPS as my chieftain with gauss.

Definitely improvement over the old AX MCs.

Planet-side AX CZs sound like a blast! A couple of questions:

1) Are these Odyssey-only, or are they in Horizons 4.0 too?

2) Is there an online resource for finding them, or do you just have to fly to systems in a certain state (I'm guessing Thargoid Invasion) and check the system map for settlements under attack? I don't see any suitable filters in Inara or EDDB.

Thanks in advance for any pointers o7

EpisparhI guess you will start with scouts. For that you will need AX multi-cannons, fast regen shield and decontamination limpets to take care of caustic damage from missiles and "death breath". Once you are ready to up your game and move to Interceptors you will drop shield, swap MC for gauss cannons and getting repair limpets and AFMU to deal with the damage.

Question, I was following your previous posting re. bulkheads and HRPs combinations, you several times pointed out that Reactive Surface heavy/deep overall better than Military Grade heavy/deep once you have upgraded one of the HRPS to GR5 Thermal/Deep. But both of your Xeno builds have Military Heavy/Deep all the way from bulkhead to all HRPs. Why?

Alex Hoffmanni like the krait mk II very much for ax stuff. very fast, agility is also good and 3 mark 3 hardpoints + 2 mark 2 hardpoints. and the hardpoints are good for using gauss or simular stuff. class 7 powerplant and power distributor gives u enough power..

What do you have for shielding, HRPS and MRPS on your Xeno MKII?

Shg56What would be the best ship for thargoids engagements both scouts and interceptors, I don't want to waste time of building 2 ships? I tried to use DBX cold build for it, but its heat signature at 11-13% did not help much, it appears that speed is determining factor to survive through perimeter blockade (hyperdiction) and further in the engagement zone. Though I managed to kill one scout out of 4 using just beam and regular gimball multi-cannons but 3 others finished me up since I lost 90% of my hull after escaping from interceptor in the perimeter blockade. Thanks

Reactive bulkhead advantage is resistance which do not matters vs. Thargoids. Military Grade gives same raw armor for less CR. I use specialized ships, hence my choice, but if you plan to reuse same hull for PvP and you can afford the cost you can go with Reactive.

Why are so many MRPs? Thanks


I have more questions:

Why mixing MRPs and HRPs in military slots?
Why SCA?
Why AFMU with 3 MRPs?
Why 16t cargo?
Why 2 thermal vent beams?

What’s the deal with the Chieftain? I really don’t like it for combat much prefer the Krait mk2.

Thrusters performance and x6 hard points.

Krait need constant boosting.

So many questions I dont want spend 30 minutes for explaining this, sorry. Check some video. Only what I can say, I am hunting goids for long time and tryed many options and builds, this one is just perfect and dont need changes.

I started with krait and did AX combat with it. But then I discovered chiefftain. Chieftains is simply godness.

Its not about boosting. In cold orbiting speed is irelevant.

That is what I meant. Krait needs boosting to keep orbit while chieftain's thrusters are sufficient to get the job done without boosting.

Few options. In concourse at the kiosk.

Or in ship or SRV there is a suit menu where SLF and SRV deployment/boarding options are. Select option manage loadouts.
