AHSo, I am going to take my AspX to a Guardian site in Synuefe PX-J something. Got my to 2 SRV, massive fuel scoop and off I go. 17 jumps makes me wonder is it really worth it. Adios!

Honestly, AH, if you just want to copy my AspX build, I think you'll be really happy. I used it to get all sorts of exploration, I used it for mat farming, and for guardian mat farming (which is a primary reason it has a point defense up top, as Aunty Sledge mentions).

The one you want to use. Medium Guass is a good place to start.

I highly recommend Gauss and Modified Shards first. The latter can be obtained via tech broker in permit-locked Mbooni system but I managed to get mine via some kind of CG which didn't involve becoming allied with Azimuth because honestly screw them, lol. The former are purely Guardian tech and were a starting point for many, including me.

p.s. Bright Sentinel (the megaship with tech broker for the modshards) may be outside Mbooni, I haven't checked in-game, but Inara shows it's in HIP 22460 at the moment. If it isn't wrecked beyond repair, of course. Honestly, I'd like to help more but the last time I unlocked something was very long ago.

I am following this guide. https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/lmf9hw/a_guide_to_unlocking_the_guardian_fsd_booster/
And yes Aunty, got the point defence on my roof.
Have not gotten very far. Got side tracked and went looking for plant life.
Got my first discovery and without the bonus, it paid 19x less (w bonus, 3x) than a blob you can spot at hundreds of meters and is almost everywhere. That makes absolutely no sense at all. lol

Gauss are the railguns of AX combat and are good for soloing Interceptors, but can also aid in a team for killing of an exerted heart. They are precision weapons.
Modified Shards (not the regular ones!) from your favorite mass murderers Azimuth are the mega shotgun of AX combat. If you love bluntness (and a shot to the face) and don't mind overheating on a regular basis, those are pretty neat.

But maybe go with Gauss first and practice with them a bit.

Modified Shards are the only way. Unreal performance.
