Help me to improve my Anti Thargoid build

This is my current AX build: https://is.gd/3k39jC

Any suggestions for improvement would be appreciated. I managed to solo an Interceptor, but it was a close call (though my targeting skills aren't the best).

A build with less heat buildup would be great. A bit annoying with these Gauss cannons.

Yeah, I hate using OC power plant, but I'm forced to do the same in my AX Cutter. (Oh, didn't notice it was undersized, definitely go full size and armoured). As I understand it, big ships should have big shields with lot of MJ while mediums can use fast recharging hull tank shields. Resistances are pointless, go for Reinforced and should get the 7 slot shield too. The scoop can be smaller. Perhaps switch the pulse lasers to heat vent beams if you can spare the power. Get ammo capacity mod for the Heat Sink launchers. They are your chaff.

That should tide you over until real experts show up.

Try with a med-ship ,you need +400 top speed to scape tharg missiles and for restore your shields,6c bi-weave (without enginnering )+ 2 power shields with heavy duty is enough,guardian PP,guardian hull reinforcements + 2 guardian module reinforcement.3 guardian gauss c.,1 missile racker and 1 ax misiiles for down shields together with gauss .
Very high speed configurations, medium shields and high integrity, with protections in modules too, it works to me reinforce the vital support for the windshield too.

For large ships there are much better configurations than those with advanced multicannons and guardian shard cannons ,you can literally kill a thargoide instantly without lowering their hearts.
Forget the engineered reinforcements and use the guardians, they are the best for corrosive damage.

Are you just looking for a thargoid heart perhaps? Cause really you can only instakill a cyclops. And there is no skill there (or fun). All the other interceptors will take you down if you try that.

So many flawed tips here! Most guardian parts are useless. But you do need the Gauss cannon if you want o fight the thargoids.

Here is my Chieftain build: https://s.orbis.zone/44gi

reinforcements hull and guardian modules are the only ones with caustics resistance, I did a lot of tests and they are the ones that endure more a fight without having to do a lot of engineering, a guardian power plant can feed them all, your ship will heat up, but in a fghting time is good to combat caustic/ corrosive damage (+200 heat) I did not say it was optimal, but it is enough, and it is the fastest way. What matters most is the speed to raise your shields and shoot the little thargs .

it requires too much engineering ,even to synthesize ammunition, the fighting will not be entertaining, personally I think it is an abuse towards thargoids...

the other way is more rewarding, trust me,personally I would choose an mk2 to put 3 middle gauss cannons,the fastest way to kill hearts,Good luck!
