HRP against Thargoids OP?

Just want to introduce this by saying that my heart rate never rised as much in this game before Thargoids where introduced. This is awesome stuff.

Since we have no weapons against Thargoids yet this is maybe a bit early to tell. But I stripped my Exploration ASP off its fuel Scoop (to reduce rebuy significantly) and shields (they are useless anyway) and installed 3 class 3 HRP, which have 50% caustic resistance, which somehow added up to 68% caustic resistance in the ship stats... didn't know percentages add up so weirdly, if at all :D

Whatever. Those 3 HRP lastest quite a while when under attach by a flower ship (or where they two? Couldn't move my ship to have a look around) in one of those USS. Thargons where Shooting at me, as well as the flower ship(s) itself with those weird lasers. Because I got EMP'd I was merely a sitting duck, unable to flee, set aside to retaliate. But I was a coriace sitting duck. I sat there for at least two minutes as a static target before plopping. Depending on how effective the upcoming weapons will be, this could be quite OP. OK this is quite early to tell, but after those thrilling experiences with the bugs, the last Thing I want is Thargoids to become yet other Standard NPC's you just sit there and just massacre.

Liz, Ishmael, take your time while I enjoy all those rebuy Screens. Never enjoyed them more.
 
Makes me wonder if I can turn my already engineered as hell Corvette into a Thargoid tank as well since I have the internals to do that. Question is will there be shields in the future worth a darn versus these things? I like sitting behind shields lol.

I took my battle ready FDL (full shields + Militay Hull+HRPs) out against a few Thargoids. Luckily, none EMP'd me. Lol

But as far as I can tell, their damage bleeds through shields, but they do offer quite good protection.
But when my shields dropped, I was shredded in seconds. Lol

I'd been fighting that Thargoid for about 5-10 minutes before I started recording.

(Sorry about the poor quality and camera skills!)

Edit. I just remembered. This FDL had no HRPs installed. Lol

Huh? I'd double check your HRPs buddy, they were removed swiftly with a hotfix yestarday (patch notes indicates that the class 3 HRPs had incorrect resistance).
