AX Guardian Tech

[Arkadi]

Hi fellow Cmdrs,

I am totally lazy. Yes. I ask those of you who already have figure it out: What kind of Guardian Tech should I unlock first if I plan to fight Thargoids?!

What is the most cost/performance efficient thing to unlock from those mysterious Guardian Tech Brokers for the lazy commander who wants to spend the least possible time farming guardian stuff for maximum gain?!

Please help!

edit: Inara mentions an "Enzyme Missile Rack". Is this already in game? Is this maybe the thing I am asking for?

There's actually only two guardian tech weapons atm. I'd suggest you look at the Gauss Cannon, first.

Thank you Cmdr Roberts!

This seems a good choice.

Another question: Does guardian tech counts towards the limit for AX weapons too?

 

[SupremeMorph]

Yes

 

[Momo Velia]

Yes, only 4 experimental weapons at a time applies.

Personally I like the plasma charger since you can hold the charge for as long as you need to get a good shot, has double the ammunition of a normal PA and does nearly the same amount of damage as the gauss cannon when fully charged. It can’t penetrate targets as well but you can nearly hide a cobra in the detonation cloud it leaves.

To answer your question, yes they count towards the AX limit. The guardian power plant doesn’t though, if you want to unlock it too.

I think I want to get both in the end. The Gauss Canon for heart-sniping and the Plasma Charger for overall damage.

Maybe I am going for the Plasma Charger first, becouse it runs colder and might be usueful for my non AX ships too.

Thank you all for the help.

edit: but then, 34 guardian sentinel weapon parts for the Plasma Charger is hard work.
