Do Guardian weapons + AX weapons still add up to <4

[VR Jay Le Chardon]

I know there are restrictions on Anti Xeno weapons of 4 per ship.
But can you mix 4 AX weapons AND additional guardian weapons?
Or is the restriction 4 or less guardian/AX weapons?

Yes mate, ax and guardian weapons all count towards the 4limit equally.

Get as many gauss cannons as you can without boiling your ship every time u fire is my advice.

o7

Thanks for the answer - surely to expletives that was a(nother) daft design choice by FDev? And one thats made a mockery of me farming enough guardian mats to buy everything.

 

[ZAKALWEINC8876]

No problem mate, imho, gauss cannons, like David Ginolas hair, are “worth eeet”

 

[Urazz]

the Flak Cannons to destroy thargon swarms don't count towards the experimental limit though so if you can fit one into your build then I suggest you do so.

If you have access to it, I suggest gauss cannons as well.

I was thinking the same thing. They built the T-10 to fight Thargoids, with 9 friggen hard points..... yet I can only use 4? lol

Leaves five hardpoints for beating off the Goid lovers.

Maybe a maximum of 4 Guardian and 4 AX.

do new multicannons that can fire both ax/regular rounds add to the limit as well?

Even if they don't count towards it, can you really be fracked harvesting thargoid mats and synthesising AX ammo for them?

LOL is that really a thing? dang. I need to finish unlocking the guardian gear lol. (BTW turreted plasma chargers are not good on a T-10 lol. Placement is too far and they do not track. UNLESS YOU HAVE A GUNNER. )

I am still a xeno Newb though.

No. You can have let's say 4 class 3 ax multicannon turrets on a T-10, then add 5 more fixed mount adv multicannons and synth ammo.
Ax weapons and guardian weapons count toward the 4 max limit. Adv multicannons do not.
I haven't tried it yet but you can upgrade and put experimental mods on the adv multicannons and then synth ammo for them. Interesting.
Please add to this or correct me if i'm wrong.

I did some testing last weekend and you are correct. I still have some more unlocks to do ( I unlocked the turreted guardian plasma's but they no good when I am alone. Weapon placement is too far and the turrets dont track)

But yea 4AX or Gaurdian. -- There does not seem to be a limit on the adv weapons.

When I get more information I will share as always!

Apart from the T10 being a very bad ship for thargoid combat overall lol. Way too slow, convergence is so bad you can't get it's high DPS into play effectively and shields are too weak to tank them.

Back 2 topic: I don't think it really matters much, as most AX ship builds wouldn't have any leftover slots for more weapons anyways. Besides more Gauss Cannons would also heat you up too much and the other weapons aren't really worth it.

It's overkill for Scouts, too slow for Interceptors, pretty good as an AX wing support ship.
