Is the guardian power plant worth it for fighting thargoids?

I'm pretty sure the best results are inconclusive to doesn't do what it says on the tin at all.
They can make your ship run hot in my experience. Use it if you want more power but can’t or don’t want to engineer a normal one. They roughly equate to G4 engineering. So a normal PP engineered to G5 will outperform it.
I usually stick one on my new builds until I’m happy with everything else. That will define the power needed. Then the last module I install and engineer is the PP. Usually armored or overcharged.

Apparently they can't be disabled by the Interceptor's shutdown beam. So that's useful. Also apparently they are equivalent to G4 engineering.
Making a good AX ship has been something I've been meaning to do for a while as right now my Keelback is the only thing I've done any AX in.

Guardian power plant vs engineered power plant
So I've been playing with the Guardian weapons and they seem pretty tasty. However, on paper I'm less sure about the guardian power plant. It sounds like you get more power at the expense of weight and heat, which is much the same as what happens when you engineer a power plant. So is it...
Unless something changed in the last 5 months they arent any different than a normal power plant when your hit by the thargoid disable pulse of disabling, or the lightning attack.Apparently they can't be disabled by the Interceptor's shutdown beam.

so what's the disruption technology bit referring to? emp?
Just the flickering of your HUD during the lightning strike attack.
Definetly no protection against EMP.
Not worth it imho, at least if you have access to engineering.
That's it? So what you're saying, is that the guardian power plant does not protect against anything significant, despite the description implying that it does?
This can't be intended. What's the point then?
Perhaps this deserves a bug report.
Welcome to Elite: Pointless
It is most certainly intentional. Reminder that things like giving an anti-Thargoid Combat ship with 4 Large Hardpoints, 3 Medium Hardpoints, and 2 Small Hardpoints a Class 6 distributer was thought of as a good idea. Only got changed to a class 7 relatively recently, and it's still probably the worst combat ship you can pick to fight them.
Depends how hard you throw them.
The jump booster is nice though
There is one other that is slightly better than the hummie version because you can't engineer the hummie one anyway. Can't remember which it isThe jump booster is nice though
What? Retrofit a T9 to be a thargoid fighter. It has more than 4 gun slots BUT for "reasons" you can only mount 4 anti xeno weapons.
Guardian module reinforcement package is the one you are thinking of. I like to include one in most combat builds.
Against goids the Guardian HRP does give corrosive resistance, but even then it does not really compare to G5 HRP, and just using decon limpets or burning the goo off with a controlled overheat, since you still have to do it anyway.
Most of them are pretty useless.
stand corrected. well that's just swell then
