I need to take a brake from exploration and space truck driving. It turned stale.

Little fights around stations under sudden attack have been fun so I thought exploring that avenue a bit more.
Any advice on learning how to fight (NPC at first of course and practice I know, I know).
What are minimal upgrades to Krait MK II so I can last more than 2 minutes before someone melts my boat out of the sky?

RampagerabbitGreetings commanders,

Not bad for one system. 400 million Cr. from 4 planets.



How many "First footfall"'s did you bag?

Who's running Plasma Chargers, who's running both, and what are your experiences? (Also, are those any good outside of AX combat?) I was thinking of doing another round of Guardian grind to unlock the modified PCs from my favorite mass murderers (Azimuth).


I tried modded Plasma Chargers (lvl2) and gauss in the last shin dez community goal and had a lot of fun with them. (https://s.orbis.zone/qzGt although I might have changed a few parts on the ship since then)
They felt great for taking down shields & exerting hearts and I also found them to be great against scouts. (easier to use than gauss as you can hold the shot until the crosshairs are in the right place)
I did try lvl 3 PCs first and found the shot speed was too slow and it seems the lvl2 modded PCs do more damage?
The glaives showed up a few times too and I managed to take down one at a time between repairing in the station without fully docking in the hangar.
Not sure how they would do vs a ... far god cultist / xeno ally / ganker but they do absolute damage? so they should be okay?
I'd definitely recommend them simply for being fun and pretty. Plus they do feel powerful and came in handy finishing off hearts too

I wouldn't recommend the modified Gauss Cannons though. I haven't crunched the numbers but it seems they do hardly any extra damage and you have to land all three shots to get the full damage (they're basically like the Imperial Hammers from Arissa Lavigny-Duval)
