MODIFIED AX Ship-Launched Fighters

[DemiserofD]

It doesn't seem like the devs want to make AX SLFs more usable by default. This makes a certain degree of sense, as most people who might use them already have them unlocked, so changing them doesn't generate much new content or bring in much new revenue.

That being the case, how about MODIFIED AX SLFs? These could cost a lot more to unlock and could have skins for players to buy, if they want. Here's a few ideas.

Modified AX Taipan
Weapons: 2x AX Multicannons, 1x Flak Cannon
Shields: NONE
Hull: Regenerating Meta Alloys (50 integrity)
Special Ability: Silent Running

This ship is specialized for killing swarms and scouts. It has no shields; instead, it has a meta alloy hull with 75% resistance to caustic damage, and the ability to slowly regenerate health and neutralize caustic damage over time.

Unlock Requirements: 50 Meta Alloys, 50 Hardened Surface Fragments, 50 Heat Exposure Specimen, 50 Phasing Membrane Residue, 250 million credits.

Modified Guardian Trident
Weapons: Modified Guardian Plasma Autocannon(4x Projectile Speed, Splash Damage)
Shields: AX Resistant Shield(Shield takes damage to block caustic damage over time and phasing damage. 50% resistance to caustic damage.)
Special Ability: Silent Running

Unlock Requirements: 25x Guardian Ship Blueprint Fragments, 64x Thargoid Titan Deep Tissue Samples, 32 Titan Cyst Specimens.

You get the idea. If the standard fighters aren't going to be useful, let us unlock ones that are.

Man, The grinding for this would be insane.
I get the idea of buffing them Cause they are pretty much useless right now and probably since their creation. However, those are too many resources...

I've also shared some ideas for Pre engineered SLF, Though only guardians slfs.

Pre-engineered Guardian SLF's.

Since the arrival of the modded guardian weapons the battle field has raised in our favor a little, but still, we are unable to do any internal damage or any kind of disruption in the thargoid's ships and abilities(For example, we have no way to counter lighting attack or stop caustic missiles...
