AX Ship advice please

You want 2 heatsink launchers to stay cold

Always forget to use it, so invented fight without using

Decontamination limpet controller can be thrown out too

...well, I fight scouts on this as well

The Guardian Hull Reinforcements

...again, it is caustic resist + mats for engeneering normals

The fighter hangar should be thrown out completely

...my co-pilot do cool, killed couple times hearts herself + takes away swarm. So I just ignore it while fighter dies there I kill heart OR swarm is searching me and co-pilot just snipes heart.

Shard cannons

well, I wanted plasmas - not enough energy there >: Maybe i put wrong PP, will check later.


Basically we 2 attack 1st heart, until it down, then "follow me" and boost away, repair hull...once big guy follows me - kill next heart and boost away to use repairs, repeat, repeat.
Sometimes that goes smooth, sometimes dangerous, like heart 5%, i dont have shield, i have hull 40% and trying, trying to hit it and missing. But with Cyclop always can boost away and fly there time needed to repair to full.

Thinking by what to replace that "swarm killing" thing. It is useless for me. I use all 30 charges prior can kill 1 swarm I'd better put there some laser maybe, and swarm will be simply distracted by fighter. Will lasers work on this thing?

To everyone else, don't be this guy. Take advice from the experienced players so you can improve.

You'll get used to it.

I recommend switching loadouts depending on what you wanna fight then.

...again, it is caustic resist + mats for engeneering normals

Damage that goes through shields is never of caustic type, so the resistance does not do anything when the shields are up.

...my co-pilot do cool, killed couple times hearts herself + takes away swarm. So I just ignore it while fighter dies there I kill heart OR swarm is searching me and co-pilot just snipes heart.

Not sure how to interpret this part. Let you be told that AXI has developed their tactics over many years with many high experienced pilots, these recommendations don't come from thin air.

Plasmas are the WORST AX weapon, don't bother with them. High power and distributor draw, no armour penetration, very short falloff range and low damage overall.
Just go with 4 Gauss Cannons, it's the best by far.

No they don't. From reading this, you just need practise. And maybe adjust your control settings, not using relative mouse is a common mistake, in case you're flying with mouse & keyboard (which is recommended).

4 gauss are cool ..when I hit but I miss like 60% sure ... often happens then i just came close, lose shields and that turreted stuff remove 50% of heart in 1 hit, then my co-pilot snipes other 50.
So well, I posted build because thought ...such bad fighter pilot as me can solo kill thargoid using it. Also I posted how I do - key points.
No need to put optimized math for me. I will get it once will learn proper flying.
