Anti-Xeno Technology

I love that Guardian Weapons aren't engineerable.

1) It means (after the grind to get them) I don't have grind even more just to be competitive, just let me fight Thargoids already!
2) It means they can be balanced vs the Thargoid foe

I don't want the option of easy mode via engineering grind, I love that people have to improve by getting better. [up]

Yes I think it's intentional so Frontier can set a scenario and balance it, hope so anyway. Engineering would make a mockery of that.
I don't think adding an optional special effect that allows normal engineered weapons to be able to inflict at least some damage to Thargoids would upset the applecart. If the special effect is balanced at the right level (a suitably small damage % against Thargoids offset by power draw and/or heat efficiency trade-offs) then a full set of Guardian weapons should still be more effective (say double the damage v. Thargoids per hardpoint). It would however allow for more tactical options.

I should emphasise that I am not talking about allowing engineering of Guardian weapons, just allowing engineering of nominal weapons to the point that they would have some level of effectiveness against Thargoids.

I still want gimballed guardian weapons.... My gamepad* isn't precise enough for fixed aiming... Can't even hit the big ones half the time!

I'd also like to 'mildly' engineer the guardian tech. Mostly just for high capacity.

I have seen a video you killing scouts, I wonder if Truffle and the other HALT guys know about that....LMAO. Also, after seeing your flying skills, or lack there of, I know why you target ships Ill equipped for PvP.

Yes, they know about it. Many of us attacked Thargoids before we found the true faith.

I am pretty sure none of us at HALT have PvP equipped ships. Not many of us even know what the current PvP meta is. But most if not all of the groups who hunt us (AXI, HIVE, etc) have the latest and greatest PvP meta ships and hunt us wingless people in HALT in wings of their own PLUS the police to help them. And even then they still usually fail to kill us.

Many of us in HALT do not even equip shields. Did you know that? I do, usually, but some don't. The reason is so that the "poor, ill-equipped Thargoid murderers" can have a more than reasonable chance at killing us if they want. But nearly none of them try to; they just run (or combat log or "menu log") making themselves easy kills if they don't know how to high wake. So it is not about AX weapons not doing enough damage. If it was, our making even the playing field should entice some of them to fight back. But no.

Nothing is stopping AX murderers from equipping resistances to shield and hull. Just because you want to min\max for Thargoid hunting is not an excuse. Just equipping one utility with chaff would go a long way to thwart us because many of us are gimblenoobs or whatever the current invective is. Face it. If you cannot escape our interdiction, you are not very good. Learn and adapt.

So yeah. You are wrong and just acting out from a position of anger. And making personal insults does not make you right. You assume a lot. Educate yourself before you come on to these forums and make a fool of yourself.
