    • The reduction to Guardian weapon damage has been removed
      • All weapons previously modified with the damage reducing modification have automatically received the improved modification
      • The AX Chieftain prebuilt ship is now delivered with the improved modification

  • Reduced maximum number of Thargoid Ships within Titan instances

All of these are quite awesome! Thank you, guys! o7

I wonder what those improvements to the Titan venting cycle will be. Is it shorter time between cycles, or will the core come out with a little delay and/or stay exposed longer?

After five titans I still struggle to get to the core in time without banging my ship against all those damn spikes. 😅

I forget, how does one apply this "modification" again? Is it an engineering experimental effect or something?
Also, can I apply it to my FSD booster?

its a one roll to apply engineering at ram tahs with weapons right now. and id guess that when all guardian modules are up for the mod, then boosters too...

This is great, all the changes recently are very very welcome, so I almost feel bad for typing this but ...

Tactical Core Chips; shame there is no AX Reactivation Missions to collect them from.*

*Yeah, I know, spires but I got all my TCC's from those missions.

@FDEV Does that include the pre-Engineered/Modified Shards too?

I'm still sitting on the mats I gathered for all my pre-engineered Guardian weapons (shards and plasma charges) thinking the AGF mod could be applied to them, and then finding out at the last minute (literally while plotting the jump to Ram Tah's) that the mod only applies to standard Guardian weapons.

Oh, what why are fdev making it easier all of the time. Removing the guardian weapon reduction is a surprise

As pointed out, no way to get the chips necessary if someone wanted to try this. Unless one collected some from before.
