Just had a party with my insect overlords. I brought my underused but engineered FDL, along with those new scanners, AX missiles and for fun a huge PA. They brought a drone party-pack and plenty of firepower.

I damaged them but they damaged me a lot more. Hull down to 65% and that was before my shields were about to go down. We decided - well, I decided this encounter would be a draw, and I retreated-I mean, repositioned, elsewhere.

Made me sad to see my hull reach 25% before my second ring of shields was depleted. Time for some upgrades.

Update: Got my cargo hatch well and truly kicked by a Thargoid Interceptor. got it down to 97% then saw I was at 56%. I've never been that good at combat anyway :)

Based on what I've seen so far, both personally and reading other's accounts, the engineers are going to have to start offering grade 10 or higher upgrades to at least weapons, shields, hull and thrusters if we are to have a shot at 1v1 combat.

That was very informative,.........and discouraging.
I play mostly in solo, seems die in solo atm.
We'll just have to wait for further weapons development, they said it was going to be an arms race in the beginning, the race has just begun.

Armed with some caustic to adleast 30% and a more nimble ship could maybe solo it tbh

Nice video. Notice how fast the hull regenerates....hard to keep up with that without multiple ships maintaining constant fire.

The hull regens but the sub components don't, kill the 4 hearts and it will squish.

PSA

You need to take a reserch scan in order to have the subs show up then target them.

Id imagine the hearts are the red glowing engines at the back then..i assume anyways

Yeah, when you kill one the petal it is in snaps off and it starts blitzing you with yellow lightning.

You can see it in the ship image in my radar display
