Reynard FoxHello!

I need help. I must commit crimes for my power.


What happens, if you don't?

Kasumi Goto ... part of it is roleplay which I built pretty much entirely around this Thargoid stuff. And that my (main) character shares the trait of "has no interest in political scenes" [technically both don't]. And the Thargoid PvE interactions (combat or otherwise) also tend to be far more interesting than blowing up aimbotty human ships that also spam chaff every second (or two) and which generally revolves primarily around stacking shield hitpoints.


You have mentioned several times that you have never fought Thargoids. How will this work?

Probably nothing. Although, I have plan to make character history and engage in roleplay. I have concept of the Emperor's fanatically loyal dog. With love to enemy (federal) ships. What's better, system in which i have to commits crimes is system where i give lot of money in charity quest, to make reputation to get ranks in Federal Navy. This is great background for moral dilemmas for writing a page from Capitan's Diary.

I just wanna have fun

AHBeing selective about things I have said again in an attempt to get a reaction.

You're not worth replying to in length, so I am just going to repeat I have a second account with which I have fought Thargoids, and that I did on my main account for a few initial months of the Thargoid war.

Controller Commanders: how did you map the flight/rotational controls?

Personally, I have one set of controls
- where LS is up/down for pitch, left/right for roll, with yaw as toggled (hold) with a backpaddle
- and RS is up/down for vertical thrusters, left/right for lateral thrusters
My alternative flight controls have yaw bound to RS left/right, so no lateral thrusters there.
FA on/off is LS pressed.

I'm more used to my alternative flight controls, as they are pretty standard for a flight sim. But full thruster control is necessary in combat, so I went with that as my standard. How about you?

RawnuOk, this is a ridiculous Python Mk2 build: https://edsy.org/s/vSgI7ov
It's all frags with high cap and screening shell. If you want to make it more ridiculous, you could go with overcharged and screening shell.

Surprisingly enough, replacing HiCap with Overcharged changes the sustained DPS very little (and for 2D/G frags it actually decreases them) because the HiCap blueprint increases both the the ROF and clip size (meaning less frequent reloads). If you wanted to make it even more ridiculous, go for the Rapid Fire effect instead; you can then get the sustained DPS of 607.5

(Although I would go for corrosive shell in one of the class 2 frags instead of screening shell, as that effectively doubles the DPS once shields are gone.)
