SporbashLooking to jump into some Goid action, are the AX Multi Cannons worth getting on my Krait Mk II or not?

If you plan to lazy farm scouts - Yes. (but that is not much of Goid action)
If you plan to go after interceptors - No. (Burstar already linked a video explaining why)

OtohaI've got a krait mkII and I'm also outfitting it to fight goids. I got some guass cannons on it already but haven't used them yet. Any regular weapon they fire like? Plasmas? Rails? Cannons? Just so i can get an idea

they are basically rails.

I would say depends on the type of Thargoids you are going after: If you are going after interceptors, then Burstar and the video he offered from AXI is of course correct. However, if you are going after Thargoid scouts, the AX MCs are very effective, particularly if you are looking to gain combat ranks quickly.

Ok thanks guys. Had a feeling Gauss would be best. Which are easier to kill when solo? Scouts or Interceptors? I'm just looking to expand my ingame experience aside from Exploring, Trading and Mining haha

scouts arent too much difficult than human pilots if you have a mix of gauss and turreted AX multis. interceptors are another story, they are incredibly difficult. dont underestimate them. if you plan to take down interceptors, pack a ship with heatsinks and only gauss cannons. (i recommend a chieftain). dont forget a remote release flak launcher. for your first few interceptors, try to take them down in a wing. if you dont, they will murder you. dont say i didnt warn you.

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

to my knowledge, no system has exclusively thargoid scouts. to find them, i recommend going to asterope and finding threat 3-4 nonhuman signal sources. dont go above that, or you will find interceptors. make sure you take 2 gauss cannons, and 2 AX multis. i recommend using a krait mark 2. the good thing is from thargoid scouts you can get some significant combat rank. pack hull reinforcements and decontamination limpets as well.

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

if you can, put a thermal vent beam laser. overall, it does not matter, because you can only have 4 experimental weapons per craft. but make sure you put the gauss cannons in the medium hardpoints, and the ax multis in the large ones. engineer the thrusters too. those scouts are fast.

I'm sure I've got a thermal vent beam on my Conda, I'll have a look

personally i use a mamba for scout hunting, but thats pretty much only because of its looks and maneuverability. in pretty much all other aspects, the krait is better.

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.

regarding 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.
