yes, i make a lot of money with em. They're best for titan stuff. Four 3c shard cannons on python mk2 makes good profit
With premium synths u can earn 32 million per run



They overheat your ship quickly though, but then again I had 3l and 2m shards, bit too greedy
The enhanced AX missiles do a similar trick with much less heat, so maybe I switch back to them. And money is not so much an issue, got my decal anyway, so that s that.

As far as I know… it doesn’t have particular significance to lore. It’s just the one other modification which provides additional jump range, so their range is better than a default A rated which gets engineered.

Fast boot also affects reboot times I guess but from my experience taking the Thargoid FSD reboot missiles, does not actually affect the time it takes to cycle when hit by those. Or still takes an awfully long time, anyway.

Frontier probably might also need to up Titan hitpoints again to stop it blowing up before the weekend has a chance to get started proper. Despite getting pushed to 2 billion it/the CG - which seems to use Titan HP as progress - is still predicted to go on early Saturday morning (by local times, anyway).



Hm, I was just wondering if the reduced reboot time would hint at more Thargoid stuff after this ... weekend? Re Cocijo: DCoH estimates 3 days plus or am I reading their website wrong?


what makes u think they overheat? Only modded shards do that. The normal shards do not and beam laser w thermal vent keeps cold all time.

Titan bombing run: don't fly in open or in a large PG (like AXI). It's just a mess, FPS drops dramatically and because everybody is shooting shit up, the Titan gets aggro and spawns wave upon wave of interceptors. Get in there in solo and do the bombing yourself.

This holds also true for any AX combat in Sol, the Hydra sextet is real.

New Cobra Mk5 is now on EDSY and she is pretty impressive! Here's a quick Exobio build with 62 LY jump range. It also makes for a great Odyssey taxi (on-foot missions), with the potential for power play as well. And it might also be a fun small assassination ship, if you got the skills for it.

I'm happy I contributed (as usual) to the development effort by buying my Pre-Biuld MK V but they managed to make a right mess of it with those wings, Coyote Ugly.

If they do the same with the Standard variant, I'll pass and sell this one...

So I'm back at Synuefe EU-Q c21-10, I need yet another Guardian Weapon Blueprint Fragment and a few dozen of other goodies. I might just as well keep farming since I can't purchase those Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack since the game decided to stock all the commodities needed to unlock them and refuse to let me transfer them back to the ship. Awaiting Support answer to my ticket.

I'm done securing the material needed for the Python 2 Weapons, 6 X Class 3 Guardian Shard Cannon will do, on my way back I'll also grab a 5F Experimental Weapon Stabiliser but there's no Class 5 OPTIONAL INTERNAL Slot for this ship, it's a bit of a bummer...

Since the Python MK II, I question the ship design team abilities to see through a concept that fully work, (Class 6 POWER PLANT, No Class 5 slots etc), now it's the styling of the Pre-built Cobra MK II...

And it's almost impossible to double the Hydra spawn solo, should be some rare overlapping factors. As far as I understand. Or a networking glitch which is impossible in Solo. I tried several times with Jamesons and Orunmilla triple Hydras, didn't work. Uh.

I dont't like the items of the ship kit either, especially the front wing. I dropped that right away but kept the folding wing at the rear.

Got it! I thought it couldn't be dropped, she looks a lot better without!

I saw someone's screenshot using that Cobra V kit and when I saw the front end of it I was just like, "Hell that looks fugly".

As if the ship could be made any worse looking subjectivity disclaimer.

Cobra MK V... Ah! I know I've been very critical today but I thought the wings couldn't be dropped. I took her for a spin, doing a few Signal farming loops, she's a real bronco!

I got 12 Guardian Shard Cannon, for the Python MK II and Anaconda but the material I need to treat at least 6 of them with Anti-Guardian Zone Resistance are still stocked in my Carrier Cargo...

I hope Support can solve the problem soon.

I tested those Guardian Shard Cannon; Dispersion is awefull, one must be very close to the target to get all rounds into it, but with 6 Modified Shards, the Python must be lethal, pity it can't take a small thermal vent laser on top...
