You can get ax multicannons without unlocking guardian sites? They are for sale in stations afaikI really would like to play the new thargoid states and combat zones, but I fly a vette, and with no class 4 guardian or AX weapons I cant.

...Okay, Ill bite.
You know there is literally nothing stopping you from putting smaller weapons on the class 4 Hardpoints, right?
yes i do know you can put undersize weapons in the class 4 hard points. But whats the point? You down grade the vettes fire power? You are much better taking a conda.
I just though seeming the vette is build around having 2 huge hard points, it was not much to ask for at least one class 4 anti thargoid weapon to use? no?

As an avid Corvette pilot, I can only agree with the OP.
As for "you can use smaller weapons classes". Well, yes, you could. You could put a 500cc fiat engine in a Mustang too.
As for "you can only use 4 experimental weapons", Well, indeed, you can. I have no problem with that as long as 2 of them are Class 4.
Seriously folks, whats the point of end game ships if they cant properly be used for end-game content?

(so hint, hint to FD for class 4 anti thargoid weapons)
You can buy AX weapons off the shelf that can handle the Thargoid menace in their current form.
If I can slot their scouts in an Adder without any AX kit, you shouldnt be having any issuss.

Except its not a downgrade of anything because there arent any huge weapons that are going to be out DPSing the AX weapons.
Dont get me wrong, I would like them too. That doesnt make the Corvette useless as an AX ship though. It does just fine.

I never said it was useless, just that its cant be used to its full potential. With the coming AX Conflict Zones in Chapter 4, perhaps there is now a place for this level of fire power (Class 4 AX or Guardian Weapons).
I never said you did, the OP did. I was addressing them. And you were addressing me. So then I addressed you. And now here we are.
The weapons and class limits are just artificial crutches for balancing the game, it seems like FDEV gave up on balancing the game properly.
yes, you can put c3 AX weapons into those two C4 slots
but where do i put the 4th C3 that the anaconda, cutter, Type10 can fit?
the Corvette currently has no more AX firepower then a python or krait (3xC3, 1x C2, 1xC2 Flak)
you can only fit two small extra heal-beams for the scouts/support.
but compared to an Anaconda with 4xC3, 2x Flak, 2xC1 healbeam, you are weaker.
i am with the OP
With the Thargoid invasion BGS status, i would really love to see either the 4 AX limit lifted, or C4 AX Multicannons and C1 flaks introduced into the game
(also, NPC crews permadeath needs to go too...)

It was always ridiculous that standard weapons do nothing against Thargoid ... makes E D into two entirely separate games and forces you to choose which one you want to play at any time.
Still, that ship has probably sailed so we need a Guardian engineer - or at least an Experimental Effect available from existing ones - which allows us to engineer ANY weapon for use against the ‘goids. That would get soooo many more CMDRs into the fight.

I'm with you. Make AX an engineer experimental effects for guns. You can buy gaurdian and AX guns off the shelf. In this dystopian future, have engineers forgotten how to reverse engineer products made by others? Or maybe thargoids arnt actually a threat and proper weapons are low priority?
I kill interceptors with downgraded weapons on my cutter. Works fine.
"Game design."
We have dismissed that claim
