SporbashWhat do you reckon to put in the 5th hardpoint? As the Krait MkII has 3 large and 2 medium




All your questions so far are answered on https://www.antixenoinitiative.com/wiki

Just take a time to read the wiki section with ship build and combat guides.

tl;dr Krait mk2 - 4 gauss cannons separated in 2 fire groups to menage heat and the last one goes to remote release flack launcher - to deal with thorgon swarm.



Those swarms only come from Interceptors don't they?



they only come from interceptors. they are released every time you kill a heart, and are probably the most threatening part of the fight. although, you are fighting scouts, so you shouldnt need to worry about that.

Swarm can be close to harmless on lower variants if you use cold orbiting. I engage swarm on Cyclops only if I am bored while waiting for the shield to go down.... But then again this is explained in AXI wiki.

at the end of the fight im honestly wondering if the green stuff is blood or thargoid baby juice. better not to think about that, because they always break my cockpit and get it all over the habitation quarters.

This might present an opportunity to conduct an experiment - whether it is possible for other biological species, regardless of sex, to be impregnated with Thargoid 'baby juice' resulting in a cross-breed.

The implications could be most interesting!

Good thing I am not a biological species!

SporbashCheers. I'll go and get the components for Gauss Cannons then. Which systems tend to only have the Scouts in?

That was handy, I am looking for a little Thargoid action soon and was wondering where the main areas were now.

I will look at Merope areas as its only about one jump on the carrier...

Its like fated..

If you click on the "galaxy" tab and then under the "thargoid war" tab, you can see that Asterope offers the most target-rich environment (for Thargoids) at the moment, but Merope certainly has them too.

Just had a look at that, what rescuing takes place in the Goid systems?

P.S. the last time I did a rescue was at a damaged (burning) station.  There are none of those at the moment.

Alexandrovich Shernoshenkoregarding the recent megaship discovered, i cant visit i right now because im in school, but im wondering if this is a preparation towards odyssey. im honestly hoping that we will be able to walk around the derelict ships, but one can only dream.

It is certainly shaping up to be a case of laser rifles in the old ghost ship type of tale. I’d expect a teaser before alpha. What’s your money on? Walking thargs or dumb-ass humans in blue glowy suits?

Blue glowing suits. Seeing Thargoids would be awesome, but I dont expect it for a number of reasons. If they do include walking Thargoids at some point, I look forward to learning more about them. What kind of plant will we see them shooting us with I wonder...

Actually... this makes me wonder if we'll have any opportunity to talk to npcs directly. Probably not, but I'm always hopeful of more story content.

I'm not complaining, or even whining. But what is that point of ganking? I'm a rated mostly harmless, which means I'm not a very worthwhile combat target. I'm not carrying anything of value, yet I get interdicted and smashed flat by a dude in a ORCA. I ask him why with direct messaging, and it's because he heard I was talking about his mom. OK, so he's a ganking twatwaffle. I give it a few minutes, and decided to lauch and clear out of the system, and as my FSD is powering up, he attacks me again. So when I respawn, after a second expensive rebuy, I switch to a Sidewinder and manage to sneak out of the system. I don't understand why I got targeted to begin with.

I just want to wander around my own ship, see how it's laid out interally.

For some gankers, killing you is the reward. They don't need a reason. I think you can blacklist a commander in game if they harass you too much and that would stop them from being in your instance, but I'm not sure. You can also switch to solo play if you need a break. I play in solo most of the time these days.
