I saw your Orca review and that's what actually encouraged me to finally start AX combat. This is a pretty fresh save, but I threw together an unegineered Vulture just to see if I could kill scouts as I've never fought any thargoids before and I never really looked into the videos about them. Despite how easy it was with 2 large turreted multicannons, I am wary to try going higher than the threat 4s I've done without engineering.
Definitely going to make a more solid attempt at unlocking them now, though.
