Ship Builds & Load Outs Cheap(ish) anti-thargoid ship + loadout

[AbjunctiveAim]

I currently own a Type 10 as it was supposed to be good against Thargoids, however it is not without spending billions of credits on it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a ship and loadout which costs around 200 million credits and is capable of destroying at least a Cyclops?

I have unlocked the Guardian gauss canon, FSD booster, hull reinforcement, shield reinforcement, power distributer and power plant. I also have a shutdown field neutraliser and corrosion resistant cargo rack in storage.

If 200 million credits is too little, can someone suggest a way of getting lots of money without grinding.

I bought a T10 and had a go against a Cyclops limped away with 27% hull the T10 is much happier mining, so I'd suggest smaller more agile ships for anti xeno combat.

I've found the FAS to be a great ship against scouts and Cyclops but the builds are quite different, I use two individual ships but you could use one and swap the builds depending on the the role at the time, I've also tried the Krait mk2 but I prefer the FAS because of it's agility and toughness.

Thanks

I haven't yet unlocked the shard canon, but I can easily unlock it in my Asp Explorer. Would Guardian hull reinforcements be better?

Guardian module reinforcements are worth it. Guardian hull reinforcements are meh since they can't be engineered, much like meta-alloy reinforcements.

It's such a shame I just sold all of my meta-alloys. I could have used them to unlock Felicity Farseer.
