How do you prevent damage? After engaging a few small thargoids I noticed my hull at 20%, it kept going down till eventuly destroying the ship. Can you repair this type of damage? are shields useless? any help plz?
decontamination limpet controller
or heat your ship to 200%, but then make sure you have a heat sink ready to fire after you get the message Caustic substance removed or whatever is it
I assume you're hunting scouts.
In this case try to:
avoid toxic clouds which remains after scout destruction
evade caustic missiles (this is quite possible, they have limited speed and "dies" rather fast)
I have decontamination limpets always during the hunting, but they are not always required. But it is nice to have them because I can kill scout in front of me or catch missile fired very close my ship.
sometimes (in case of size 1 and 2 hrp) it maybe slightly better to use a guardian hrp instead of a human one engineered with g5 heavy duty / deep plate and it saves a lot of materials - of course if one has surplus of power available to accommodate ghrp
